Thanks Jirin.

I wouldn't have listened to Craig Finn or Abronia otherwise and both are keepers.

Is there any reason why Super Ape is in the 4th quadrant despite being ranked as high as #1077? Yes, the nominator submitted the ranking as "Unranked", likely checking under "Upsetters" as opposed to "Lee Perry". An oversight, but one I'm afraid we'll have to live with. You got it. I was a bit surp...

Maybe an unpopular opinion: The theme song for the new James Bond movie, Billie Eilish's "No Time to Die", is just as uninteresting as most of her album. I thought after the great "everything i wanted" I could warm up to her music, but it seems that was an exception. Agreed. 'everything I wanted' m...

AC/DC polarising: Well known fact. 'Decades' polarising: Surprise.

This is rather awesome Moonbeam. Goodness knows how much effort you put into those love/hate lyric snips.

"WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?" is leading the way in terms of where pop music is going and will influence many pop albums over the next few years. (This is true to an even greater extent of "Magdelene", which I personally enjoy much more.) Nevermind was an entirely different kind of phen...

I guess I can't vote for it, but my favourite song was recorded (live) on January 31, 1970 (or possibly 1st February 1970) at The Warehouse, New Orleans: Fleetwood Mac: I've Got A Mind To Give Up Living/ All Over Again. The song was originally written and released as "All Over Again" in 1965 by BB K...

Hymies system works if everyone who votes has listened to many songs/albums (so it probably works better for songs than albums). If - for example - you have several folks who have only considered only the AM top 30 albums for the year and are just ranking those, then the final result is heavily bias...

DaveC

Happy with top 15 or 20 scoring on lists. 20 at least makes in interesting change, but probably not much difference in results.

Also happy with 100 + 50 wild cards for the final poll as per your suggestion Listy.

Just about keeping up with all the poll listening, but I'm determined not to fall behind 356. Ray Baretto – Pastime Paradise: 5 it is fine, but I prefer the original 357.

I thought These Present Arms was familiar, isn't it a repechage and more than 6 months old?

I believe it is just inside the 6 month limit, but it is quite possible that I nominated it before and forgot.

I think unranked songs from bubbling under albums shouldn't be excluded, as the delimitation is a bit arbitrary. If I'm correct some of the bubbling under albums are there due to a couple of old lists, while Henrik wouldn't even include albums that have recently have appeared in the same number of ...
