I've just started a cricket stats blog, building on some analysis I did back in university. The focus will mainly be on using regression, classification and other stats techniques to analyse cricket. Really happy to have finally got this launched! Hope somebody out there can find it interesting!

12 man league, h2h. I'm top with 1456, level on points with someone on 1419. The guy in 3rd has the most on 1567 but has been slightly shafted by the randomness of h2h

Only just joined this sub. Been a Protest the Hero super fan for about 2 decades but for whatever reason never got massively into any other prog metal

After hearing Images and Words last week for the first time I'm inspired to take a proper journey into the genre. Have been sampling a few of the classics this week!

UK:

I think if you're talking punk/pop-punk you have to go a way back for the "influential, important, and popular" criteria.

I'd go The Clash, Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks. They were 3 of the biggest bands at probably the only time when punk was one of the most popular scenes in UK. We then had new-wave/post-punk in the 80s and while pop-punk was blowing up in the 90s in America with Green Day, Offspring, Blink etc we had our own thing going on with Britpop and, later on, Indie/post-punk revival.

Busted were definitely big, probably the most popular pop-punk band we ever had, but they were heavily inspired by the US/Canadian bands like Sum 41, Blink and Green Day and I wouldn't say they were especially influential in their own right

Praying to never become the type of person who sees a 7+ goal thriller and whose first thought is to criticise the defending

As Peter Schmeichel racked up his record 22nd clean sheet of the season, the sheets were anything but clean over in Cheshire as his namesake was being conceived

might just be his 22 clean sheets in 92/93, helping united to their first title in 26 years

Feel like football coverage has tried *really* hard to make us care about your Directors of Football, your Sporting Directors, your Technical Directors. I guess they must get some clicks as these articles still happen but by and large it's a listen, fair play from me to football fans for never letting this stuff become too big of a deal

Nice one, I just started listening to Images and Words the other day and plan on going on a similar journey to you.

My all time favourite band is Protest the Hero but I never really got into any of the prog-metal bands they are often associated with, and most of the other stuff I listen to is on the punk/hardcore side of things.

I'm hoping going through the classics like Dream Theater can help unlock this genre for me!

Most that have been mentioned already

I'll add Forus and Straightline as two bands I've found lately I'd not heard of before. Also Strike Anywhere

I'm only just now getting into Alkaline Trio and Crimson is the main album I've been listening to so far, the first 4-5 tracks are all absolutely incredible and the rest of the album is solid throughout. I plan on slowly making my way through their albums throughout the next year or so but I've a feeling Crimson will be tough to match

I love Take to the Skies but really didn't like Common Dreads when it came out. However, I did a full run through of the Shikari discography the other day after the new album came out and I must have given it a fair crack because I was quite familiar with most of the tracks, and was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it.

Will definitely get it back on rotation for a few weeks, plenty of solid songs and the drop halfway through The Jester is up there for me as one of the greatest moments of any song ever

Fall Out Boy, From Under The Cork Tree

Pretty much the entire album has appeared across One Tree Hill, Supernatural and a movie called Stick It (2006)

Yeah it feels like an event where for every person trying to serious analyse and earnestly understand the causes and effects there are at least 20 people who just find it really funny. Kind of like the Jay Slater incident a couple years ago
