How about an Audiogon poll for 2004? Categories?


For those who have missed it I have launched a website called lugs with some music reviews for Audiogon members.
http://www.lugsmusicreviews.com

We plan to update it with our review of the year/best of lists and reviews for some other 2004 releases etc.

However I thought it would be fun to poll Audiogoners for their favourites-I'll conduct the poll with the results published with the full review of 2004.
I'd allow a top 3 from each voter and hopefully generate quite long lists.
Polling would be done directly to myself via the Audiogone-mail button-easier to detect in my inbox.

A good idea or not?

Here is how I see the categories.

BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

BEST RECORDING QUALITY ON A NEW RELEASE

BEST REMASTER OF THE YEAR

BEST SACD (New)

BEST SACD (Remaster)

BEST DVDA (as above)

BEST VINYL (as above)

Please do not start mailing me yet until we sort out the categories and to see if this is a goer or not.

Should be fun and will Audiogoners an input in the years review.

What do you think?

Ben,

First, that's a very nice site you've put together which should prove to be a very valuable tool with this community.

I agree with the "favorite" term as being most honest besides having a refreshing sound to it. It's certainly much less competitive sounding.

You may as well begin just lumping all of the software together since I see a trend toward vinyl becoming available new. As an example I offer Neil Young's "Greendale" in an incredible 3 LP boxed set that rivals the quality of anything I've ever purchased. This ain't no new jazzed up reissue. Makes me feel good. Very good.
