johnnyd @mahimahi - how so? What is your top 10?
Though I don't agree with it right down the line, I had my one vote, and I don't think it's that off or hard to defend as "generally reasonable." The process was straightforward in two rounds. All quantitative, no lobbying or arguing.

(Well there was alleged lobbying, but that devolved into more of a joke than any kind of influence peddling scandal.)

Anyway, as @lumpblockclod presented above, there was a clear Big 4, and then the rest. Voting was all over the place for those. For example, I had MPP2 as number 5; nobody else even had it ranked. Regarding SPAC 2 (7/4) I really *wanted* to top 10 it (attendance bias, Fuego as a top 3 moment in 3.0 for me, and 2nd set that didn't let up) but going back and relistening, I couldnt say it was better than the others I voted. But it really gets tricky even as an individual to parse out every single show and attach a rating. Which speaks to the relative consistency of the year. But the methodology is pretty fair.

As with last year, I'll try and take some time to set up a method for any users that wish to cast a 0 - 10 ranking for every show, and we can see where a community ranking puts everything. (If I really had free time, I'd then do a statistical control for attendance bias, but that's a different project.)
