203. Erland & The Carnival – Trouble in Mind: 8 Another song for my 2010s songs listening list. Might get tiresome with repeated listens, but very appealing after 3 listens. 204. The Easybeats – Land of Make Believe: 8.5 Just outside my top 1000. 205. The National - Ada: 8.5 One more for the 'how di...

What years do we do after 1980s? My vote is for the 2010s. I know it might seem a little early given the decade will have just ended, but that's only the case for 2019, which would be featured in November 2020, 10 months after all the albums were released. I think that's probably enough time for th...

We would expect to move on to the 1970s. An alternative would be to do the 2010s in the same manner. However, I expect we'll have one-off end of decade polls for the 2010s and proceed with the 1970s.

Shannon Wright - These Present Arms

DaveC

Brilliant thread Honorio. I do hope that everyone reading it makes more time to listen to non-English music.

'The Greatest Books' clearly has a USA bias in recent years, I expect these top threes to change significantly.

Tuxedomoon - Atlantis

DaveC

I don’t even remember which ones I nominated. There’s at least 2 alive that nobody else but me would have nominated. Not sure if any more. Yes I have that problem too. There are always a several of my favourite albums nominated. I went back to my PM to Brad and find I still have 4 nominations alive...

Two new to me excellent songs to kick off July.

181. The Icicle Works – Love is a Wonderful Colour: 8.5 Definitely would have been worthy of a place on my 1984 songs list.
182. Hedningarna - Pornopolka: 8
183. The Rolling Stones – Soul Survivor: 6

DaveC

180. Simple Plan – Welcome to My Life: 2

DaveC

Vote for option 2

DaveC

For the 1990 decade poll, 14 of 29 submitters of lists didn't rank all 150 albums. Also noteworthy that there were fewer voters than for the year polls. Expanding the decade songs poll makes more sense than expanding the album poll.
