I like your point system, hope to do a similar ranking at some point soon.

It just means I'm not familiar with most of those artists. Now, I have to check it out.

You and troutman both picked liam as the top team, but he has me and fish in the bottom three, while you have us in the top three.

That's actually pretty interesting. Your #1 picks were the same, yet your 2nd and 3rd picks were complete polar opposites. I wonder what the actual breakdowns were.

Liam had 5 picks I would list in my personal top 10 (Lemmy, Mark Knopfler, John Bonham, Mozart, Bob Dylan) which bumped him up pretty well. He actually had a -1 with me as well (I hate Morrissey).

Fish's Zeppelin picks have him moved up in the list for me (and if I had to guess, this is why he's low for Trout)

You (Fan in 80) like stuff that I do, but only one in my top ten.

Oh hey, the Zepp factor. I see. That makes sense, now that I think about it. To me, how people judge the individual teams is almost as interesting as the team selections themselves.

I'm going to do my picks during the game tonight. I'll use the troutmanScale™ as well.

From memory, I think my pics will wind up similar to the ones Liam just posted. I'll know for sure tonight though.

I like Zep just fine - not a fan of the Doors or Cornell (mr. Fish). In your case, I had no strong feelings, but did deduct a point for Phil Collins. Two points for Freddie!

The useful part of this exercise is, if someone with similar tastes recommends something, you know you will probably like it too.

I plan on using the troutmanScale™ as well, but it may be Sunday before I can get to it. I'm a bit under the weather and I intend on giving the Flames my full attention tonight since I watched the last game in less than ideal conditions.

I like troutman's idea, but I am going to change the criteria for my voting a little bit.

0 for something unknown to me; I might not have heard of it, or just don't know enough
+1 for an artist/band/album..etc that I like
+3 for an artist...etc I wanted on my team
-1 for an artist...etc I don't like

kermitology- +5
foofighter15- +4
604flames- +5
troutman- +1
socalwingfan- +8
Hanna Sniper- +7
HalifaxDrunk- +8
MonsieurFish- +10
dissentower- +10
Torture- +11
Displaced Flames Fan- +7
Berger_4- +7
Flamesguy_SJ- +1
FanIn80- +12
TheyCallMeBruce- +2
TimSJ- +2
habernac- +12
liamenator- +6
doozwimp - +3
WhiteTom- +3

I'm calling a two-way tie between FanIn80 and habernac. I feel bad giving troutman only +1. It's obvious his (and probably all of yours) musical knowledge and expertise is far superior to mine. I tend to be very narrow minded when it comes to music. I have never really branched out like I should have.

I don't get that 'not heard of' part oilers_fan. Isn't that what the youtube clips are for?

Yeah, but I haven't gone through enough of the selections in depth to know whether or not I like them. I couldn't accurately rate them for myself if I didn't have proper knowledge of the band.

Just for fun though, I'll give you all a score, using this system:

1 point - artist I like
2 points - artist I would have picked myself
3 points - artist in my personal top 10
- 1 point - artist I don't like

The score won't mean a team is better, it just shows who has similar tastes.
Using this system, are you guys forcing a point value for every selection, or are you skipping (0 points) for picks that you're indifferent towards (neither like nor dislike)?

Give zeroes if you have no opinion.

Should I judge using troutman's scoring system? Is that what we're going with? And should I (and others who wanna vote) just post our results, or PM them somewhere?
