Vote: Royal Carnage Top 64 CDs of 2000s

[General Zod]

Then why not Kayo Dot - "Dowsing...", that was last year

Because neither JK nor I knew of its existence. As I said, there were going to be omissions.

Bah, okay then. But don't call it "best album of the 2000s" for whatever wins

If you can come up with a title, of reasonable length, that better describes this poll, feel free to make a suggestion.

Only counting albums, eh?

Huh?

[General Zod]

I'm disappointed by the further exclusion of Tenhi.

As I said:

6. I'm sure we've forgotten someone. I'm sure someone's favorite band was left out. We tried to list the 64 artists/CDs that generate the most conversation around these parts.

We considered widening the tournament, to 64 to the power of 6. However, we didn't feel we would be able to calculate the vote in the first round with 68,719,476,736 artists. It might have been a bit time consuming.

Zod

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Just doing a quick search I see Tenhi has been in more threads than several of those bands. Though I guess that doesn't really mean they have generated more conversation. And I know In Flames has been talked about quite often but really, did you think there was any point in putting them in this type of competition? I'm a bit surprised they even have two votes so far.

Don't get me wrong I'm not sore about it, I'm just curious how well Tenhi would do in one of these RC competitions. Ah well.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

There is no point to it.

The fact is that Zod makes terrible tournament rosters.
