gogo Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 OK, here we go! The scoring system is in the first post in this thread, so anyone who's wondering how I came up with these rankings, go back and check that out. There are a lot of ties, so you'll see that several albums might have the same number, but then it'll jump to the next number. I was going to try to come up with some kind of tie-breaking scheme, but none of them seemed really fair, so they're all just listed as ties. Everyone who participated has been e-mailed a spreadsheet with the full results. No real surprise for #1 , I'd say the biggest surprise for me was that some artists who get talked about fairly often around here didn't score higher than they did. Anyway, let the regrets and recriminations commence! 1. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot -- Wilco 2. Revolver -- The Beatles 3. London Calling -- The Clash 4. The Beatles (The White Album) -- The Beatles 5. Abbey Road -- The Beatles 6. Rubber Soul -- The Beatles 7. Exile on Main Street -- The Rolling Stones 8. Highway 61 Revisited -- Bob Dylan 9. A Ghost is Born -- Wilco 10. Summerteeth -- Wilco 11.

Blonde on Blonde -- Bob Dylan 17. Blood on the Tracks -- Bob Dylan 18. The Band -- The Band 19. Kind of Blue -- Miles Davis 19. The Bends -- Radiohead 21. Sticky Fingers -- The Rolling Stones 22. Bringing it All Back Home -- Bob Dylan 23. Andrew Bird & the Mysterious Production of Eggs -- Andrew Bird 24. Being There -- Wilco 25. The Soft Bulletin -- The Flaming Lips 26. The Velvet Underground and Nico -- The Velvet Underground 27. Marquee Moon -- Television 28. The Joshua Tree -- U2 29. Pink Moon -- Nick Drake 30. Let It Be -- The Replacements 31.
