GREATEST METAL ALBUM CUP - Nominations closed!

[Brigantium]

I've got about 12 so far, but moving into ones unlikely to be of interest to everyone. I'm not sure if I'll finish drawing up a list. I'm not a great one for albums, I have a habit of picking and choosing songs I like rather than listening to full albums.

 

[LooseCannon]

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

No, it actually helps.

Because the albums will be entering the game in reverse popularity order it means most Iron Maiden albums stay out of the game for much longer, giving more exposure/victories to lesser known albums. Just like Liverpool doesn't join the FA Cup in the first round because they'd run over the Bedlington Terriers and the Oxhey Jets.

 

[Black Wizard]

Oxhey Jets are actually a football team. Where'd you hear about them?

Actually, it's not only the top teams that are exempted from the first two rounds, but all teams from the top two divisions (i.e. 44 teams).

And I'll give you a list, but not before the weekend.

Oxhey Jets are actually a football team.

Are you saying the Bedlington Terriers aren't?

 

[Black Wizard]

That's a type of dog.

I didn't see that in my brief Google search. Fuck knows how LooseCannon knows about these teams.

 

[KidInTheDark666]

It's certainly suspicious.

 

[Saapanael]

They’re all on there.

You never heard of Wor Terriers?

I've been researching FA Cup brackets intensely over the past few days.

 

[Midnight]

I've sent in my list!

 

[LooseCannon]

Thanks so much!

 

[Black Wizard]

How many lists have you received so far?

 

[Magnus]

Would a list of lists be appropriate?

 

[LooseCannon]

How many lists have you received so far?

26 so far.

@LooseCannon

Is it OK if I send it your way on Sunday? I need to do some pre-thinking and I'm also kinda busy until then.

 

[FTB]

Can I include live albums or only studio?
