[The Ozzman]

Gonna bump this as a list ditch effort.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

I can't tell if that's a typo or a deliberate pun.

 

[The Ozzman]

That was a typo but I'm keeping it because it's funny

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

How many more votes are needed?

 

[The Ozzman]

Well some original posters need to revote since some choices don't qualify so 10?

 

[Baroque]

Is there any way you can adapt the votes (like leave out the invalid responses) so we can finish this project? Because I doubt people are going to fix their votes but this is the last piece in the puzzle and I'd hate to see the whole thing wasted. Does it really matter if people voted for the wrong thing anyway? Overall we're going to compare all these and find the top x metal albums all combined right? So having an album or two in the wrong category won't matter for that.

 

[The Ozzman]

I have a feeling I won't have enough similarity in the choices to be able to score them appropriately. I may just call it right now and come back a few months down the road and finish it.

 

[Baroque]

We could just do a top 20 or whatever as it stands right? If some are tied for 20 we could do a top 25 or etc

Am I included here?

 

[The Ozzman]

Is Ministry considered metal? Otherwise yours is okay

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

They shouldn't be, but are.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Yeah, industrial metal. But fuck knows on this site.

 

[RedStorm]

I feel like this has been going on for so long. How many votes do you need?

 

[The Ozzman]

I'm going to call it. I stated above that I have a feeling I won't have enough similar votes to have a definitive Top 20.

Lame. It's like we almost ran a marathon but quit in the last lap.

 

[The Ozzman]

Eh, the other 4 were the main ones. What I should've done is split the trad/doom one which is what multiple people suggested.
