Let the misery commence! Guess Dan's Top 5 of 2021.

[heavyharmonies]

Why stop an annoying tradition? Basically, the community tries to "home in" on my top 5 of 2021 and their order.

Since no one will be allowed to travel to or from Australia again... ever... the first prize of a tongue bath from Geoff will have to be done via Zoom again this year.

The contest goes like this:

1. Someone posts their guess in 1,2,3,4,5 order.

2. I reply saying how many of the 5 guessed albums are correct, and also how many are in correct spots (without stating explicitly WHICH ones are correct).

3. Next person guesses based upon prior guesses and my feedback.

4. Only one attempt per person... unless we run out of active members participating.

This year was the most difficult I can recall to choose and rank in recent memory, with more than a few albums entering and exiting my top 5 repeatedly over the last month, let alone the actual ranking. I still don't know that I'm happy with it, but it's done and I ain't changing it.

Bieber released an album last year, right?

Hmm... almost by design one might think... 

0 for 5. Sorry.

I'll help out by guessing different bands and trying to remember when HH liked stuff...

1. Levara

2. Creye

3. Nestor

4. LeBrock

5. Vega

[heavyharmonies]

1 out of 5, but it isn't in the correct spot.

5. Levara

4. Ad Infinitum - Chapter II

3. King Zebra - Survivors

2. Brainstorm - Wall of Skulls

1. Beast in Black - Dark Connection

 

[heavyharmonies]

1 out of 5. Not in the correct position.

[martinsane]

One can imagine and I would agree that Eskimo Callboy will be in all 5 positions (and a few they made up, cuz they are callboys)...

 

Seriously I thought Eclipse is/was always on everyone's top 5 list...

Could very well be once the album drops this year... 

[Darkstone]

Okay Dan, are you saying the completed 2021 best of lists won't be released until we guess this...

...or is this a stalling tactic?

I just received 2 lists yesterday and am waiting one one last person, and then it takes time for me to format everything, so we're likely several days to a week from the form publishing anyway. I still have to craft some words for my writeup, but the decisions are made.

[nyoilers]

1. Wicked Smile

2. FarCry

3.Lionville

4.Levara

5.Sabaton

[heavyharmonies]

0 out of 5.

[Glen]

so I was prob wrong on Levara then lol. So the previous 2 each had one right which didn't cross over - god knows which ones tho. Good luck guys lol

Oh wow, umm, how about 1 to 5 (descending). 

[heavyharmonies]

Ok, so assuming:

1. Creye

2. Nestor

3. Vega

4. Beast in Black

5. The Treatment

That is 2 out of 5 correct, but neither in the correct spot.

[lettard]

Soooo Beast In Black is in there...and 1 of Vega,Nestor or Creye...hmmm
