I've seen these types of tier lists many times and never tried it myself. Click on the following to see it better: Anyway, that was fun. It's not too different from my previous ranking (which I think I posted here at some point). But this has been updated to more closely reflect my current views while simultaneously attempting to be a bit more objective. This is a slightly different format, too, so I figured I needed to adjust my approach anyway. At the end of the day, though, this is pretty much how I feel about the albums on a subjective level - from most to least favorite. I ranked the albums within each tier from left to right. Pet Sounds being my favorite and Summer In Paradise being my least. Edit: By the way, the following is (loosely) what I consider each tier to represent. It compares the tiers to 1-10 rankings and traditional school grades: Tier S = 10/10 = A+ or 100 Tier A = 9/10 = A Tier B = 8/10 = B Tier C = 7/10 = C Tier D = 5-6/10 = D Tier F = 1-4/10 = F

I began one, then started over and began again. And then gave up. As much as I struggle with rankings, apparently I struggle even more with tiers!

So, "easy" might not have been the right word! (I based mine on a prior (and fairly recent) ranking, so it wasn't much trouble for me to tweak it. I suppose it's possible not all fans have such a document readily available. )

I kept finding I wanted more tiers...

Hey, that was fun! I kept changing right up until I hit 'save'. So, I reserve the right to change these rankings...

Kapitan, feel free to cosign my ranking. Looks just about perfect to me. Uh-oh, I have competition from SJS.

I kept finding I wanted more tiers... Yeah, I had to add the 'F' tier to that one. It's actually easy to do. You just click one of the buttons on the right side of the tier.

OK, here's what I did.
EDIT - now I have tried to rate within tiers. I didn't move anything between tiers since prior posting. EDIT TWO - I am seriously incompetent. But I think this has gotten it closer.

Just for the fun of it, we should take each person's rankings and critique them, both positively and negatively. Just go one poster at a time. I know everybody on this board can take it.

Interesting, despite the fact that SJS voted Surfin' Safari a full tier above Kapitan...it was last in line and behind Stars & Stripes. As a result, I think I actually prefer Kapitan's ranking on that one!
In all seriousness, though, nice lists. It really is more visually appealing to look at rankings this way. And easier to analyze.

I should be clear, I didn't actually rank within each tier, or at least not really. I should probably redo it actually, to try to do that...
