It wasn't intended as a complaint for your choice.

Agreed 100%. A song that is very unrepresentative of the album, or the band in general. It's a nice tune, but I never understood why it was such a highly regarded one.

If I do end up voting in the round it appears in, I'll vote against Wish You Were Here simply because it doesn't belong in the game. It's one of my favorites otherwise.

The correct top five. Piece of Mind, only just.

1983-1988 is the only stable lineup in that time frame, so I think that's the Golden Years era. You could attach TNOTB to that because the lead singer is the same one and it's the album that catapulted Maiden into the heavy rock mainstream. The first two albums diverge too much to be considered...

At no point during my time as a member of this forum have I ever been in the "Reunion era is the best Maiden era" camp, so no change brought upon by time in my case. The golden years are the golden years. For me, AMOLAD is the only Reunion album that can give the 83-88 albums a run for their...

What a great way to end an otherwise nightmarish season for Arsenal. Credit to Arteta. I have some optimism for the future as an Arsenal fan for the first time in a while. Also, Arteta has won more trophies in his first seven months as a manager than Spurs have in 12 years.

Fair enough, as this one would clearly win by a landslide if allowed to participate:

Hate is a strong word, but the reasons I dislike them are 1) Dislike the scooped mids sound, 2) Dislike their songwriting, 3) They sound aggressive in a high school bully or dumb frat boy kind of way to me and that's hard to ignore when their attitude is so front and center to their style.

Heritage (left) and Sorceress (right) are inferior in quality to Pale Communion (middle), the Olsen twins (left and right) are less attractive than their sister Elizabeth (middle). (I don't share the sentiment, btw, the Opeth part that is)

I haven't heard some of the stuff here so can't vote yet, but I will say that City is one of my favorites. Monster truck of an album. Oh My Fucking God is brutal to a comedic extent, and it's very self-aware about it. It's quite the tune.

Argh, I seem to have missed the round in which a nominee of mine was featured for the first time. Glad it didn't cause a preventable loss.

Perhaps. I did forget about his pro wrestling credentials for a moment.

What we are witnessing there is a textbook example of two men's ability to reason eroding at the hands of a testosterone spike. You can almost smell it. They'll look back when they calm down and say why on earth did I just not leave it alone.

Ditto. Danny Carey is by far the main appeal of that band, even though Maynard James Keenan acts like he is.

Happy birthday!

No need to get defensive about it, I'm not arguing against what you brought to the table. I just pointed out that there is a word in English that describes what you were referring to.

I get what you mean, but it's a weird distortion of the word so you are bound to get a response like this. It's almost guaranteed to lead to communication breakdowns.

One of my Top 5 drummers gone already. Grohl & Carey

The word "ideocracy" is commonly used to refer to the concept that you're referring to. Not ideology. Ideology is a neutral descriptive term of political science. It's a discussion of semantics and that's not what the term "ideology" means. You might criticize people adhering established views...
