what's the point of voting something higher than you think it ought to be?

acousticrock87 08.04.2008 06:45 PM

That's kinda why I didn't vote. I don't think any of mine would make the list, and there's no point in voting other stuff higher than it should be.

sarramkrop 08.04.2008 06:47 PM

I'm including a Fushitusha album and i'm nowhere near a fan of either them or Keiji Haino as much you are, as well as not having much time for his music or alleged legendary persona all that much.

I voted for the Ting Tings album ten times. Ha Ha Ha!

I want to listen to "Pathetique" again - the first track on that is pure uncut Win. So there.

Well either way, whether people voted for what they wanted to win, or what they thought might, I'm done. No more lists please. I'm confident looking at individual entries that most people were reasonably honest in what they submitted. So I'll be posting the final top twenty later today (tuesday) in a seperate thread, where you can all dissect what has been (I hope) a quite fascinating selection of albums.

Thanks to all of you who submitted. There's bound to be controversies but, looking at the final result in front of me right now, it seems like a fairly honest list of albums that a site such as this (with its obvious biases) would consider great.

Thanks again. Although had I known in advance that so many of you would have entered lists I'd have employed a secretary.

acousticrock87 08.04.2008 06:56 PM

Despite my apathy in voting, I'm excited to see the result.

Trasher02 08.04.2008 06:58 PM

I'm excited too though I don't think it'll be a suprising top 20.

acousticrock87 08.04.2008 07:03 PM

I'm sure there will be a few surprises, and that will be worth it.

I didn't! Where did you hear that?

Rob Instigator 08.04.2008 07:41 PM

i love our obvious biases

demonrail666 08.04.2008 07:46 PM

Aint no bias like a west coast bias.

OK, it's "officially" in my top 5 albums from now on, alright?

gualbert 08.04.2008 08:38 PM

So , what are the top five records of the silent majority around here , and let's try to be a part of it?

MBV.Loveless.
The Velvet Underground and Nico.
Wire.Pink Flag.
Minor Threat.dicography.

It's on a tabloid but I read about it on the NME website while I gave one of their journalists a really acidic reply about the Psychedelic Horsehit gig in London.

remarkable!

The Wire did a great article on Burial a few months ago, and I think I remember reading about him growing up in the mid-nineties, being too young to get into any of the clubs, and simply relying on his older brother to bring home the lastest Dn'B records. So i guess that rules out the possibilty
that he could be either Aphex Twin or Fatboy Slim.

People also say Kode9 is Burial, but I think thats only because he releases through Hyperdub.

sarramkrop 08.04.2008 09:26 PM

I don't really care as I don't like Burial one bit. He could be or (s)he could be not, it doesn't make any difference.

jimbrim 08.04.2008 09:31 PM

Fair Do's. Goodnight!
