GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 1985

[CiG]

I did it on a pad at work with a calculator, bad move it would seem. That said, how did @no country for old wainds get 110 for Fates Warning if someone gave it a 9.5?

110 for fates warning even without factoring f_doom's N/A

Just redid Fates Warning and I definitely fucked it up before, but so did you just now it would seem. Not sure wtf is going on.

1. Fates Warning - The Spectre Within

1. Fates Warning - The Spectre Within

3 Fates Warning - The Spectre Within

3. Fates Warning - The Spectre Within

1. Fates Warning - The Spectre Within
1. Helloween - Walls of Jericho

1. fates warning - the spectre within

1. Fates Warning - The Spectre Within

5 points Fates Warning - The Spectre Within

07. Fates Warning - The Spectre Within

8. Fates Warning - The Spectre Within

2. Fates Warning - The Spectre Within

10. Fates Warning - The Spectre Within

7. Fates Warning - The Spectre Within

3. Fates Warning- The Spectre Within

2. Fates Warning - The Spectre Within

= 109.5

If this is included:

5 points Fates Warning - The Spectre Within

= 114.5

yeah i only counted based on the rankings listed, i didn't actually check any lists. he didn't put =1 for burkhard so i didn't know it wasn't worth 10

Lets just switch The Spectre Within with Energetic Disassembly and move on.

Did you just delete your EEEEYYYYY post? Maaa' ninja

 

[CiG]

I tried to post an 'eyyy' reaction gif but my shit crashed lmfao. Makes perfect sense, everything else I've done in this thread has been a disaster.

 

[Phylactery]

So what’s the verdict on this? Is the actual order correct?

You're a mad man.

 

[The Ozzman]

Should've used an abacus instead

 

[no country for old wainds]

i added it up as follows:
razor 45
bathory 51
overkill 55
celtic frost 62
possessed 75 (this was 15 out somehow lol)
destruction 57.5
megadeth 93
exodus 97.5
fates warning 112.5
slayer 190

so the order's fine except destruction should drop a couple notches.

nb. i counted baroque's N/As as 3.5, funerary_doom's as 3 (they were actually worth 3.055555 but w/e), burkhard's joint 1st places as 9.5. were there any other instances of people using joint numbers or anything?

I should've edited my post while you were all discussing this to mess up the ratings further. Missed opportunity.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i guess 11-15 should maybe be recounted too incase one of them should've made top ten

 

[Omni]

Like I said earlier, @Phylactery should have done the math since he loves it so much. Don't outsource your own area of expertise next time, buddy.

 

[CiG]

Sorry guys. Epic cock up.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

You should've used an excel spreadsheet.

Watchtower 42 the answer to life, the universe, and everything

You should've used an excel spreadsheet.

Was on a worksite.

 

[no country for old wainds]

tbf i can't even fucking imagine trying to do that shit on a phone while working lol, A for effort

 

[CiG]

I was just desperate for the next round lmfao.

 

[Phylactery]

The first one I did was on a piece of paper and it was a nightmare. I used an excel spreadsheet the second time which made it much easier.

What people probably don’t realise, is that once the top 10 is found it’s not that difficult or time consuming to verify the results - but finding the top 10 in the first place is what takes all the time.
