It's already in the link. There are 60 albums and if you take out the ten Prince records, you have an Org Non-Prince Top 50.

Now why did you have to make sense and make me look at the doggone thread again?

So I'll rephrase: Is there support for a "The Org's 50 greatest misses" list?

Prince's pop/rock fans must have made that list because the only R&B acts on the list are folks that influenced Prince such as Stevie Wonder and Sly and the Family Stone. Then there's Michael and Janet Jackson of course which are crossover acts.

In your defense, if orgers were told to leave Prince out of the voting at the beginning, then maybe those Prince votes would have gone to some records not on the list and changed the final Non-Prince Top 50 results. smile

That was discussed in the thread--the fact that except for Prince, there was almost NO funk on the list. Funksters didn't go to the polls. sad

Yeah the list was obviously ridiculously biased towards Prince. I had to think of a way to handicap it, so I just went to 60 spaces.

The list is as silly as any Rolling Stone list, doesn't mean anything real, but then who cares? But it was actually a response to all the lists that everyone said were shit. I said "let's do our own, then" and it turned out pretty much the same as those other ones, but with lots of Prince lol

Just like the United States electorate. What we say we're lacking and what we vote for are 2 very different concepts!

smile

(wish we had more jazz and funk on there, too, but I'm guilty for many of the top 60, too.)

My list would be totally different if I had to make it today. For starters, it would have more of the albums from the final list because I bought and liked them because they were rated so high by other orgers!

Yeah, we should do an update! I've got a point system for such a list, as I've run this kind of poll before over at acclaimedmusic.net. It also should allow for a flexible number of albums per submission.

That would be great. I had a lot of numbers to work with, but still I knew I was not getting the most accurate cross section of the org, just the ones who happened to be on that thread.

But maybe you can include those original lists, which people can alter as they see fit?
