PA Album of the Year Discussion thread - Progressive Rock Music Forum

If I try going from scratch then I get this

1. Agusa - Prima Materia Bandcamp Spotify {ap:64672}

something seems not to be working!

^ not so sure this is the thread for such a request, but if you must, why not. I've even rated the release a few months ago on AP: https://awesomeprog.com/releases/65991

Unfortunatalely this doesn't seem to work for me. I've picked some extra selections and attempted to re-order but it keeps moving albums to the bottom of the list when I try and drag them.

Strange - it works when I try to sort my list. Which browser are you using?

FYI: I improved the texts and usability on the voting page and added back a filter for AP users to narrow down the list of releases to those they interacted with.

^ You can copy your list from my post above, just paste it into the textarea that says "Lost your selection? Paste your forum code here [...]". The list is stored in your browser, so it will get lost if you use a different browser, or a different computer, or if you delete your browser cache.

BTW: Whoever pointed out that the drag-and-drop sorting did not work correctly was right ... I've just fixed it. Embarrassed

^ Registered. Interesting, especially that Yussef Dayes album. It's currently #73 in the RYM chart for 2023.

Check it out if you like afrobeat jazz

Do you have a way of having entries with equal points having the same ranking?

Currently I see

26. The Mercury Tree - Self Similar - 30 points

27. Steven Wilson - The Harmony Codex - 30 points

28. Damanek - Making Shore - 30 points

29. Moon Safari - Himlabacken Vol 2 - 28 points

This should really be

26. The Mercury Tree - Self Similar - 30 points

26. Steven Wilson - The Harmony Codex - 30 points

26. Damanek - Making Shore - 30 points

29. Moon Safari - Himlabacken Vol 2 - 28 points

Just a reminder.

Feel free to drop me a PM, but I'll also outline how this works here again, in case other users are wondering:

1. You go to https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-2023. No need to log in or create an account at AP.

2. On that page you can use the releases list on the left hand side of the screen to select your favorite releases. There is a link/button called "show all releases (PA + Non-PA)" above the list which you can use to remove the restriction to only showing PA releases.

3. If one of your favorite releases is not in the list, things get more complicated - you can then register/log into AP, enabling you to add artists and releases yourself. You can also ping me here in the forum or via PM, and I'll add the release for you. If it is a PA release, it will also need to be linked to the PA database entry. You can also do that yourself (by adding the link on the AP release page), or I can do it.

4. Assuming that you were able to select all your favorite releases, you can then sort them on the right hand side of the screen.

5. Once your list looks good, you can select the generated code in the text box below the list on the right hand side and copy it into a post in this forum, where my script will pick it up and register it properly, so that it appears on the page in the users tab and as part of the combined charts in the other tabs.

FYI: I have improved the search function, it now ignores the filters. So when you search for something you will find it regardless of whether you set the filter to only show PA releases, or to only show releases you interacted with.
