I have been contemplating, for about a day now, how to successfully do an all-time albums vote but always thought it impossible because: a) making an algorithm to properly balance votes is f***ing impossible for a 65+ year timespan
b) expecting people to rank albums from 60+ years apart is a chore and I don't want to do that to anyone.

I was in my bed last night after what seemed to be early signs of a migraine and I thought about how I could make it work.

A) Voting
i) ranking albums not necessary; just have everybody give a list of ~70-100 albums unranked; making it easier to add albums to your list without struggling to figure out where to rank it in a specific spot. Every vote is worth the same

ii) No due date so it doesn't feel like a chore. My least favourite part of the lists is reminding people for a list. I really like how lordie was super patient with the film lists and took a year to do it. I don't know if I can wait that long but the patience is admirable.

B) Counting & Results
i) not only would it be easier to make lists without actual ranks but counting would be infinitely easier. No algorithm, no adding s***, no pulling my hair out and counting everything twice to make sure I don't f*** up.

ii) With every vote counting the same it could really showcase our unique and varied group of people here. As opposed to the decade lists where 4 high votes finishes super high compared to 4 low votes. They would be worth the same (1 vote). RASIE said something about the true heart of our lists being the 50-150 range and I 100% agree. With this type of voting process, there will be golden nuggets spread throughout.

iii) I wouldn't have to worry about a rollout. I would very likely try to concoct a spreadsheet of sorts that you can view in 3 different modes (# of votes, artist name, year released). (I would likely remove all single vote albums, and either keep every album with 2+ or 3+ votes depending on the number of albums in total.)

Obviously this is just a rough draft in my head. I would need almost EVERYBODY agree to this and I know that is a tall task. The 2010s and 2000s lists were made possible because of the lockdown and everybody had a bit more time on their hands (not everybody has lists readily available like Aruji and I). Even though I know I said there wouldn't be an official due date I would still want to have the knowledge of whether or not it gets completed. Pretty much a pipe dream idea but these are things I think about after having migraine-like symptoms at 2 a.m.
