What does everyone think of the captions? Tuf-Kat
- Good stuff. So are albums listed alphabetically or chronologically? And I was gonna add those albums to the list, honest :) Jimregan
- Alphabetical by artist name, and then album title. Thanks for your work on quotes and such, as it was real easy to add dozens from your user contributions list. I'm gonna go add some years now, but (as you probably noticed) I deleted the captions because it's too difficult to be NPOV and brief enough. If you disagree, feel free to add them back (preferably not tonight, or you and I will get edit conflicts up the wazoo). Tuf-Kat
- No problem. It's 5.15am here, so I won't be up much longer. As for the NPOV issue, couldn't there be a short disclaimer to the effect of "The descriptions here are meant to reflect the common consensus of opinion of fans of that genre"? Jimregan
- Oh yeah, is there a list of comedy albums? I have Rant In E-Minor done, I've got at least 2 more on my todo list, and then there's stuff like Tenacious D and Spinal Tap (also todo) that cross the line.

- On comedy albums, I'd say include Tenacious D and Spinal Tap, who are bands that play music and happen to have humorous lyrics, but not Bill Hicks, Denis Leary, Margaret Cho and others who released LPs of material that was entirely or primarily non-musical. Obviously, there can be no clear line separating the two, so no rule can adequately provide a guideline. It's something that should be worked out on the talk page for individual cases. Someone could make a case for including all albums, musical or otherwise, but I would disagree. Tuf-Kat
- On captions, maybe I was trying to be too brief -- I suppose nothing's wrong with a sentence or two, so let's give it another try. Tuf-Kat
- Re: comedy, I was thinking that about Spinal Tap and "The D". I've got another 2 Bill Hicks albums in the pipeline, an Adam Sandler and a Denis Leary. Maybe more. My todo list is on my user page anyways (though my main todo is to learn to be less terse :). As for captions, just saying, most of the captions you had seemed pretty neutral, just the ones that said "pioneering...", which could easily be modded to "widely considered to be a pioneering.." or just "considered..." (like I said, I'm pretty terse :) Jimregan
Did you mean to revert many additions when you added the Green River album? Tuf-Kat
