I think the next poll should be prime numbers versus composite numbers.   :biggrin:

Welp....here ya go, folks.

Primes for I&W and Awake.

But isn't this the kind of thread that should be made like one year after a new album has been released and the band isn't even in the studio recording a new one?

Primes for sure, but you left off WDADU.

1 is neither composite nor prime, according to Google.

We can revisit this early next year once AVFTTOTW has settled. It'll join the Composite numbered albums anyway, which is already a bigger group, and I don't think it'll blow fans away enough to vote for the Composite group over the Prime one (which has 3 of their best albums).

Well, what the hell.  I was an English major, not a math major.

Well this is almost as much of a slam dunk as you could get - the primes have all of my top 4 DT albums and none of my bottom 5.
Whoaaaahh, ohhh, ohhhhh. Whoaaaahh, ohhhhh, ohhhhhh. Waaah, ahhh, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaowwwwww

Prime, for the same reason I jumped in the oddboat. Both Train of Thought and Dramatic Turn are there. Althought I can't imagine losing half my vinyls due to a topic made up. 😂

Well, once again I have to leave my favorite album behind because the rest of the list on the other side is too strong.  Primes all the way.

I picked composite but I didn't look too hard at the list at first. :lol Composites contains more favourites, but also contains some of my least favourites. I think I would still choose it though. FII, 8VM, D/T, and SDOIT are towards the top of my list, Self-TItled in the middle, and even though SC and BCSL are at the bottom, they're still really good. Plus, my other bottom four album is WDADU which can't be represented here for laws-of-the-universe reasons. Primes is more consistent for me, but they're pretty much all albums I would stick in the middle.

pg1067

Primes:  three of my top four albums and one of my bottom four.

Composites:  One of my top four albums and three of my bottom four.

Kind of a big duh.

Kind of me, too, PG.

Next up, the Fibonacci sequence!

No lie, I had that idea yesterday too, but I figured I'd let someone else do the Fibonacci (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and 13) VS Non-Fibonacci Albums (4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14) :lol

Okay, so digits of Pi albums? Oh wait, that's all of them eventually...
