First off, the stats: ~40 people submitted lists ~263 individual albums were nominated ~the top 2 albums had a commanding lead over everything else by almost 200 points, and themselves were just separated by 36 points
I think that this year we had the biggest response out of any of these things. There was enough consensus on enough albums that i probably could have done a Top 100, but there were a lot of ties in the lower 50 and most of them only had 2-3 votes so it felt a little stretched.
There were a few ties (highlighted in red) and i left them as such, but in brackets i've included the amount of individual votes each one recieved so draw your own conclusions from that.

wow that was quick
i've kept a spreadsheet that i updated every week or so. it was only a matter of inputting the last couple today and copy/pasting the results. I'm pretty good with spreadsheets
April @ #3, fucking nice to see that. I didn't I saw that many votes for Raconteurs or Kings Of Leon, though, so their appearances in the top ten are a bit surprising.
they had the same amount of points, but in those cases, one had more actual votes than the other. I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to the "winner". I guess i should have clarified that. I think i'll post the full tally for people to see.

ahhh, right, the points system, I forgot about that.
Cheers.
