60mls from VaporWatch Music Contest

[VapeOn86]

Oh man, this is tough. I'm kind of indiepop obsessed, and I fear my taste might not be all that shared, but I'll list my favorites anyway.

The Lucksmiths - Warmer Corners
The Mountain Goats - Sunset Tree
The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs
Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
Blueboy - If Wishes Were Horses

Nice !!! This one's got good taste! Well, in my opinion anyway...lol Magnetic Fields- 69 Love Songs would be on my list too! I saw them live once.

 

[Vaping Instlouis]

Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Guns and Roses - Appetite For Destruction
Nirvana - Nevermind

After winning the big VaporWatch contest, in the spirit of @VaporWatch, I would like to do a little giveaway of my own. The winner can choose any 30ml bottle of juice from vapingwatch.com. Also, I talked to Watch and he has volunteered to match my giveaway and give a second 30ml bottle to the winner. If you win, just PM me your address and the two flavors you want and I will place the order and Watch will mail it to you.

So here's how the contest works:
I'm a bit of a music geek, so the winner of this contest will be whoever here on VU has the best musical taste. I have made a list of my top 32 albums of all time. To enter, post your top 5 favorite albums. Each album/artist on my list has a corresponding value (based on a somewhat complex algorithm, see below). If something you name is on my list, you will earn the points. Whoever earns the most points wins!

Contest ends 10/3/2014 @ 11:59PM. I will do my best to post the results that weekend (my schedule is kind of crazy these days).

The algorithm:
My first overall ranked album is worth 32 points. My 32nd ranked album is worth 1 point.
You will also earn points for naming an artist on the list (even if the particular album you list is not on it). There are some artists that appear on my list multiple times. The artist value is the sum of all the album values by said artist on the list. Complicated? Maybe, but it's my contest!

Notes/disclaimers:
- If you know me in real life, you are disqualified (not sure if there's anyone on here that actually knows me).
- In the event of a tie, the winner will be whoever posted first.
- I am somewhat of a snob, so while there are some mainstream albums on the list, there is a chance that no one will earn any points. If that happens, then the winner of this contest will be based entirely on my subjective judgment of the albums listed.

Good luck everyone!

This is idiotic everyone has different tastes I am not going to guess yours some hard trivia questions would have been better

The point is not to guess mine, but to give yours. It's supposed to be fun.

 

[BigGunn]

And it has been fun. Nice seeing what all kinds of music peeps are into!

 

[InMyImage]

It has been fun. And is interesting to see how many of us have similar tastes in music.

Definitely a fun contest. I like seeing others musical taste. Many I have heard of but quite a few I haven't. Always open to expanding my musical horizons, I have even watched a few you tube vids as a result of this thread.

 

[bystander]

Anyone close to your taste...? I would add my most recent "likes", but it's a Top 5 contest

Same here. My hidden agenda was to learn about some new music.

Definitely some close to my tastes. A LOT of people mentioning stuff that just missed the cut.

I meant "new to me", but if I learn about something that's both, well that's ok too!

 

[bystander]

I can only list my current top 5 artists.

Awesome song I'm listening to now,

Was just trying to bump

Think we're all waiting on the 3rd for @bluraff3 to announce the winner, lol

 

[bluraff3]

Sorry for the lack of activity on my part. Been really busy lately. In retrospect, I should have made this contest like 2 weeks shorter (it's my first contest, live and learn). Is it bad form to end a contest early?

As you may have noticed from the list, I'm a huge Radiohead fan. In Rainbows is a masterpiece (as are the other albums on the list).

 

[bluraff3]

So at this point, I have to apologize. I really want to respond and discuss everyone's entries, but I am SWAMPED at work, so this will need to wait a bit. Thanks again for entering!

Here are the point totals:
1. @Jaimie Nicholas - 148 points
2. @dave/jayce - 26 points
3. @RickyGeez - 8 points

There were a bunch of you who earned 4 points for entering Led Zeppelin albums other than Physical Graffiti. I used to be a HUGE Zep fan, nowadays I find that I really only listen to PG and occasionally need to rock out to "When the Levee Breaks" off of IV.

 

[dave/jayce]

CONGRATS @Jaimie Nicholas!!!! AFTER SEEING ALL THE POSTS IN THIS THREAD I SURE DIDNT THINK 2ND PLACE WOULD BE MINE....
