I've just thought of something...what happened to the Mega Steven Wilson Survivor? It's just slipped out of existence.
College took over me plus roulette so I had to prioritize stuff - I promise to get back to it probably around July when I'm less busy :P

I'd participate in Leviathan, Crack the Skye and Once More Round the Sun for sure, have yet to check out the rest but if there's going to be a survivor I'll probably do that.

I'm not planning to do it too soon, just asking for now. If I do it I may do it in alternate order(reverse chronological maybe)  because I think their newer would have more participants.

My Spock's Beard Survivor is winding down and wrapping up, so I'm going back through this thread and reading what I wanted to do next. Looking back, I was stuck between Rush or Genesis, and I know I've run the Genesis Survivor on here before, but I wouldn't mind doing Rush.

What do you guys think?

I already asked in the Periphery thread, but figured I might here aswell.
Would anyone be interested / participate in a second Periphery survivor?

I had a random idea. It's too early for it, but better early than late, hehe!

How about a "Best album of 2016" survivor? since there are many genres and many albums out there, there should be first a nominations thread, where albums that get nonimated at least... twice? three times? even more? get a slot in the finals (it makes no sense to have 253 albums that nobody knows about, at least more than 1 or 2 people must show interest for that album), and then it would be a finals-only (obviously) survivor.

Dream Theater's The Astonishing should not be included for obvious reasons, it would just polarize the survivor too much. Or maybe it should be included after all? anyway, it's still early as I said, but if someone wants to have a little December fun... (or early January to allow for late releases)
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

That would definitely be interesting, but I guess the problem would be that there are tons of people voting on albums that they haven't heard, so it's not really a good representation, I guess? I'd still join in though.

Yeah, that would be the main problem, that's why I suggested a nomination thread where only albums that at least 2, 3 or 4 people show to know about... it would be interesting to see on which kind of album the common ground lies!

A nomination thread would be easy. You could do it poll-style, actually. Maybe let voters vote for X-number of albums, and start with a list of like 50 albums they can choose from. If you get at least 20 people to vote, and give each of them like 10 votes, that'd be 200 votes total between 50 albums, and I think you'd get a good spread of albums that get at least 2 or more votes.

Then from there, take the albums that got a decent amount of votes, and start with the survivor from there, maybe with the 15 or 20 albums that got the most votes.

Would be pretty cool but impossible to execute. Best bet is to just do the annual "Post your favorite albums of 2016" thread in GMD and compile a list based on that I think, I think that would be feasible.

I call dibs on this thread if possible, I was planning to run it in 2014 and 2015 and someone always posted it ahead of me. And the worst thing is, they never counted the results after the voting was done. :-\

I don't mind if anyone else wants to do it, as long as we get the results tallied afterwards.
This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

gauging interest: how many people would participate in a Caligula's Horse or Thank You Scientist survivor? would be including the EPs in both of those.
i dunno if they're popular enough to have much interest but I wanna run a small survivor for a band i really like, i dunno  :lol

Maybe just stick to SW and PT, without all the other side-projects. Those are what killed it in the first place.

So, as was discussed in DoC's Dream Theater thread, I will be running a new iteration of the Dream Theater Survivor starting probably in mid-December (unless someone more qualified wants to challenge me for it).

I care about Coheed but the problem was I didn't yet when the survivor happened.
And if spirit's a sign,
Then it's only a matter of time
