GREATEST METAL ALBUM CUP - Nominations closed!

[Magnus]

Survival games are all about eliminating the weakest.

 

[LooseCannon]

Survivor games are a tradition started by SMX, there's no written rule that they can't be discarded, but they are part of the Maidenfans lore in a sense.

I've been arguing some time to put them on hold and start different, varied games.

I wouldn't be opposed to that. I prefer the Head-to-Head format myself.

 

[Whooten]

I sent you 20. Some standards, so from way out of left field.

Sounds good, I will add it in later

There's definitely a lot of variety here. The core list from 6 top lists from the internet has 311 albums, the Maidenfans list so far has 267 (before Whooten's). That's not unique from each other, there is lots and lots of overlap.

 

[Shmoolikipod]

Cool, a good opportunity to know more than 3 bands.

 

[Lampwick 43]

I'll send in my list within the next few days.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

I just sent my list. It's basically what I consider 25 great albums. There are definitely at least 25 others that would be equally great so I just sent some off the top of my head. Also, I didn't check the Encyclopedia Metallum because I'm going by what I personally listen to. I hope that will work. If there are some you can't use, let me know and I will replace them.

 

[LooseCannon]

No worries @Travis The Dragon, thank you for participating!!

 

[Jer]

Yeah, Encyclopaedia Metallum is pretty spotty on hard rock bands. No AC/DC, Van Halen, or Ratt, but it does have Dokken, Rush, and Scorpions.

 

[LooseCannon]

Yeah, so I figure, if it falls into that umbrella, just go for it.

22 people so far have sent in lists. Wow! Thanks!

Maidenfans.com has nominated 313 albums, of which about 230 are unique so far. The most nominated album, 10/22, is not even an Iron Maiden album (although Maiden accounts for the next 2 on the list).

This is going to be a stupid game and lots of fun. Please keep lists coming.

 

[Cornfed Hick]

This is going to be a stupid game and lots of fun.

Those are the best kind.

Head-to-Head format

Maidenfans March Madness! (or, Bracketology of the Beast)

Maidenfans March Madness! (or, Bracketology of the Beast)

Correct, that's the whole point!

@PhantomOfTheOpera @phantomoftheicarus @Saapanael @Dr. Eddies Wingman

Come on, show me some lists.

 

[Saapanael]

Yup, gonna send it tonight.

 

[PhantomOfTheOpera]

@LooseCannon Ok, I will join. When is the deadline for the list? I have to think and list some favorites before can do actual list.

 

[LooseCannon]

I haven't picked a deadline yet, because we have lots of time before I intend to launch. It'd be a couple weeks, bare minimum.

 

[PhantomOfTheOpera]

Good, I will surely participate then.

 

[LooseCannon]

Good, I will surely participate then.

Awesome Looking forward to seeing what you submit!

 

[Whooten]

The most nominated album, 10/22, is not even an Iron Maiden album (although Maiden accounts for the next 2 on the list).

Are we including Iron Maiden? Won't that skew results?
