PH-Poll: Top Five Albums

As voted by Palers, August 1999

This page prepared by Dietmar Schlötel


Votes : 29

This is the first chart. I counted every album with one point for being named.
The percentage is to be read: eg 79% of the voters say SOB belongs to their top 5 albums.
In case someone named a tie or so, I was so kind to add both :-)

The second chart. It was not easier to generate it. Some could not really decide :-).
Here I gave 5 points for the first-named album down to one point for the fifth.

Note: I used to count votes for '... Plus!' albums at the originals' count.

I am curious for your comments of the ranking, especially because there is no difference caused by the different counting methods. If it is of interest, we can do more methods to find interesting differences. (e.g. Formula 1 ranking : 10,6,4,3,2 points)
