GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 1985

[HamburgerBoy]

Great list and danke for the work. Better ranking than I thought it would be.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Oh and Energetic Disassembly > Control & Resistance. Shittons more attitude and groove in the former.

6) Seven Churches by Possessed
Now we take over and rule by Death Metal...


"The best death/thrash metal album ever is obviously Seven Churches." - Skeptik

"Seven Churches is way overrated. I'd rather listen to whatever shitty doom metal band Schmidt likes today than that album. " - @The Ozzman

"ControversialOpinion: Possessed - BeyondtheGates > SevenChurches by quite a bit, and I am not crapping on Seven Churches at all here. On top of that, Beyond the Gates is probably THE MOST underrated metal album in existence. On top of that, it probably would make the top 20 metal albums of all time. " - @alex76

"Haven't listened to Beyond the Gates in a while, but i remember it being a boring as fuck, generic death/thrash album. Maybe i need to give it another shot. I much prefer Seven Churches." - @TechnicalBarbarity

TOTAL POINTS: 60​

My post (#75) had this album rated at number four. Maybe I am blind here, but I don't see it.

 

[Phylactery]

Fixed.

 

[no country for old wainds]

even without alex's ranking that adds up to a total of 68, 75 with it, so it should be ahead of destruction

in fact just about every single total seems wrong based on the rankings listed lol, and not just because of you editing alex in. i get 190 for slayer, 110 for fates warning even without factoring f_doom's N/A, etc

 

[The Ozzman]

I checked the maths on 2 or 3 of them and they were correct so I will assume the rest are as well.

Boy did this backfire

Haha, well shit! Does someone want to calculate them all again?

I checked two of them to see if he had counted Funerary Doom's list as unordered and it seemed to match up.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i can do

also wasn't f_doom's list like 18 albums long, so each of her N/A's should've been worth some kind of fraction, unless they got rounded? or did you just count the first ten hp lovecraft style

 

[Phylactery]

I assume CIG just counted the first 10 from her list. That is what I have done when they have had more than 10 that are not ordered.

 

[CiG]

I don't think I counted her list at all. Counting shit like that just encourages lazy ass practices.

 

[Krow]

I don't think I counted her list at all. Counting shit like that just encourages lazy ass practices.

Yeah because we want less lists you roody poo.

 

[CiG]

I want actual participation, not just splooge a pile of albums out way over the number required with no ordering and no response when tagged and asked to refine it. Look at the mixtape games for example, shitloads of people submit tracks but nobody rates them.

Anyway, the maths probably seem off because people are counting her list while I didn't.

 

[no country for old wainds]

nah it's off even without her lol

you're such a roody poo

 

[HamburgerBoy]

We've always counted unranked lists before haven't we?

 

[CiG]

Jeepers maybe I missed a list or something.

 

[CiG]

Another list I didn't include:

I'll have a go at this one. Just getting the list on the proverbial paper for now:

Slayer - Hell Awaits
Exodus - Bonded by Blood
Anthrax - Spreading the Disease
Dokken - Under Lock and Key
Carnivore - Carnivore
Megadeth - KIMB
ADX - Execution
Yngwie - Marching Out
Kreator - Endless Pain
Possessed - Seven Churches
Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion
Dio - Sacred Heart
Armored Saint - Delirious Nomad

Because:

Yeah I'm not doing a list. A majority of albums this year don't interest me.

I said at least 2 pages ago I'm not participating anymore

 

[CiG]

i get 190 for slayer

Just went through it again, I get 195 without including FD's or Ozz's lists. Did you not include Krow's unranked list? Would explain why I have 5 more than you in my calculation.

 

[Phylactery]

Krow did a second list where he ranked them so his first list shouldn’t be included. He should have deleted it to make it clear.

 

[CiG]

Not his fault, I was scrolling fast and not looking at avis so I guess I counted his two lists. So that means I also got 190. Guess I fucked it all up...

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

yea i dont get it. What makes you think you're the one who decides who's lists get counted and who's dont? Anyway, we've always counted unranked lists

and holy fucking shit, how is it possible to fuck up the results so badly?
