Nice post, I respect your opinion. My goal when making this thread was not to force someone to like Californication more than By The Way. It was more to defend Californication a little bit. All I ever hear about, is what a good album By The Way is, I sort of felt Californication had been pushed to the side a little bit; so to combat this, I (being one who likes Californication more than By The Way) tried to illustrate why I have such feelings.
As far as the point system goes compareded to the track-track system: you got me on that one. I was actually going to do both, and rate each song, and add them up. But when I composed the beast, I forgot to do that, which sorta pisses me off. But I can see what you're saying. Just because Californication has 9 winners over By The Way's 7, it could be skewed if every one of By The Way's loses were by a slim margin, whereas their wins were by landslides.
In conclusion, I think we've seen a nice point-counterpoint in the above two threads. I stand by my subjective opinion, and am to assume that most people who read this thread, will continue to stand by theirs. I just hope that we all can open our eyes enough to realize that "By The Way" probably isn't the Greatest Album of All-Time.
