Anyone want to hook me up with Sunny Day's "Diary"? I haven't heard that record in probably eight years. That would probably make my day. Thanks!

This process is confusing me, but whatever. I'll vote for the hell of it.

I think you should get it down to 32 or 16 and then do a tournament type thing, if you really want the best results.

Also, I agree with the Alien Lanes comment. But I want to know how the HELL Watusi got picked, when I suggested Seamonsters. No one but Allmusic thinks that is the best Wedding Present album, so I'm figuring that's what you used to decide.

To be fair, I don't know what I'm doing. I started off with a general idea but it really fell apart. I'm basically just playing it by ear now. I wanted to get it down to 75 records or so and then start ranking them. How that's done, I'm not too sure. Suggestions are welcome.

I'd say starting from the beginning and making an albums tournament, as paladisiac suggested, would be a good idea. Or trying to turn these results so far into one. Either way.
