Attention Voyagers!

I’m aware of a final handful of rates that are currently in progress, but for various reasons might not be totally ready for 2pm, so I’m extending the deadline until the end of the day so that finishing touches can be made and nobody has to resort to recaps, random number generators or skipping The Day Before You Came.

Firm deadline of 11.59pm British Clock Time tonight now set!

Don’t see that as a target though - I’m bored and want to tot up some scores.

So Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (Your Votes Before Midnight) @Suomi @Hak @dmlaw @Jark @Madison and anyone else I might not be aware of.

Do you promise that you will never again leave your ASFM votes until the very last minute?

 

[Pingu]

Do you promise that you will never again leave your ASFM votes until the very last minute?

I’m prepared to broadly make that promise and discuss the small print later.

 

[dmlaw]

That's OK. I'll just give you a closing date 48 hours earlier than everyone else.

Also, votes sent.

Actually there’s been a misunderstanding, the vote closed an hour ago, sorry.

What on earth is manson-worthy about one of the greatest albums of all time having fifteen tracks?!

If they have that much greatness piled up (and they obviously do

) just divide it up into two albums so as not to fool innocent anniversary marathon listeners.

It’s manson worthy when you’ve just listened through 2h of material. That while keeping up appearances and pretending to “hang out” with your friends and being interesting in what they have to say. One of which is probably dying within the next year because of some shitty cancer metastasising.

[HalamaK]

Sometimes you just have to make priorities.

 

[Pingu]

Last minute votes from the likes of @Gangsta Nancy Lam and @RJN would be most welcome!

 

[Pingu]

Voting CLOSED.

Thanks to everyone who sent a rate in (a very healthy 22 of you in the end).

I'll get totting up the results and will start announcing the Top 50 in the coming days.

Any predictions?

 

[Madison]

Bumblebee will not win.

 

[Pingu]

Bumblebee will not win.

OMG have you hacked my spreadsheet?!?!

 

[Penelope]

Predicting a shock ELAINE win and much carefree and liberal use of the word 'PERVERT' in replies

 

[Penelope]

Also at LEAST two posters to fall dramatically in my estimation during the results

 

[RJN]

I’m sorry I didn’t rate but I will have options on the results anyway

 

[Pingu]

Probably not the best time to tell you that admin will be blocking the results thread from anyone who didn't vote then isn't it...

 

[Pingu]

I can guarantee satisfaction on THAT front.

 

[Pingu]

Oh and don't worry if your favourite finishes much lower than you feel it should - I'll be naming and shaming the culprits!

 

[Penelope]

Can't wait to disown @VoR, send an abusive voice note or seven to @ZenGiraffe, and refuse to speak to @Suomi ever again

 

[RJN]

This is the worst day of my life

 

[HalamaK]

Waterloo will be the second lowest rated album and ABBA the third lowest.

 

[HalamaK]

Most slow songs will be rated lower than they deserve as people simply doesn’t have the patience to listen properly after a few hours.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Oh and don't worry if your favourite finishes much lower than you feel it should - I'll be naming and shaming the culprits!

This is a process I am going to survive unscathed and make a lot of friends throughout the journey....

 

[HalamaK]

All of their artless uptempo rockabilly/dansband songs from their earlier era will do surprisingly well. One or two will sneak into the top 50.

 

[Pingu]

oh never mind.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

oh never mind.

 

[Pingu]

I tried to post a gif but it wouldn’t work so naturally that’s your bloody fault too.

Try it the old gif format instead of Google’s automatic conversation to webp and it will work.

What a complaint to make after leaving four albums worth of listening to the last day and mansoning one of the greatest deluxe editions of all time for having 15 tracks!

 

[Jark]

I have submitted my scores. Pingu literally threatened me with a lifetime Moopy ban (his actual words: @Iguana does anything I tell him) and I would like to report that.

 

[Iguana]

oh never mind.

Is this in relation to the whole rate?

I just think it’s bad form not taking into account potential time optimists when releasing this many and extra lengthy albums.
