1961 in music. • Page 4

I would like to go on record as caring about the 60s.

That aside, I guess the question is how do we feel about an album that wins two lists beating an album that, say, comes in third for 6 different people. Do we want to emphasize passion or consensus. I’m fine either way because the discussion and exploration is more important to me than the ranking

 

Best way to solve that is to adjust the points system. Say:

1st - 5 points
2nd - 4 points
3rd - 3 points
HMs - 1 point

(also, sorry I’m not participating much. been really busy and haven’t had much listening time)

 

we could do it like that. in this case, robert johnson would win over judy garland. is that okay with everyone?

 

That works for me

 

My top 3 albums of 1961 is probably something like..

1. My Favorite Things - John Coltrane
2. Sings Lonely And Blue - Roy Orbison
3. Spanish Harlem - Ben E. King

 

Yeah that works. I think consensus is good for something like this

 

Cool. Robert Johnson wins.

Here's the 1962 thread. I'm already mad about the albums I had to cut. This is when three choices begins to get hard.

Forgot about Waltz For Debby, easily the 1961 album I listen to most

Runaway is as good as it gets. Every second is a hook

Cool move from andalusian cadence to major too
