Thanks sextonseven!

All you have to do with the points is make sure they add up to 100 and make sure each album has between 5 and 30 points.-

Thanks sextonseven.

I know that Major League Baseball uses a fixed point system when asking writers and other members to vote for the best players at the end of the year to avoid people getting confused about assigning their own points. Just thought I'd help out with that because I'm curious to see what the final tally will be.

my ballot has been sent!

I have resolved to try more new music in 2006. This past year, for me, wasn't a great one for new music, but I'm wiping the slate clean and hope that this sort of thread resurfaces in about a year's time.

I hope to continue this every year.

So far, so good peeps! Keep the lists rolling in!

After the lists already submitted, some leaders are starting to emerge, but each list that comes in still has great potential to shake things up!

We certainly like our women here, don't we!

I traditionally don't listen to men all that much. I'd say 70% of my albums are by female artists or female fronted bands. That's why I've totally turned my back on rock radio. Their playlists have been nearly 100% male artists for around the last five years (give or take a Garbage or Yeah Yeah Yeah's single here and there).

I'm pretty much split 50/50 when it comes to men/women vocalists.

Moonbeam said:

I'm notoriously biased. Whenever I get a 'new bands to look for' article in Alternative Press magazine or something, I immediately look at the pics to see which ones have female members and then read to see if the women are the vocalists. A male fronted band would have to really hit me over the head with how good they are before I take a chance with them (like the White Stripes).

I used to favor females a lot more but have balanced out in the past few years.

Missed this thread.

Will contribute this afternoon on the account i have to go to bleeding work...

Got a hangover.

SENT!

Thanks!

Awaiting more lists....

You know who you are....

I'll keep this open for ballots for a few more days.

'bout the 2004 stuff, I took all mine from two sites, so sorry if their info was manky.

I am bad at this stuff cuz my memory does not work linear.

The deadline will be next Friday. Get in those last remaining lists!

How many votes have been submitted?

Ineligible as listed! Send me an orgNote following the rules, bitch!

Done!

Moonbeam said:

One more day!

Moonbeam said:

Very cool. But if Annie's album is #1 then I know the whole thing was fixed.

I'm confused. What's Pazz and Jop?

minneapolisgenius said:

It's the Village Voice's annual best of music poll. The initial letters of the words Jazz and Pop are transposed I'm guessing to be clever.

So where have you been? You've been gone a long time.

sextonseven said:

Oh. Yeah I just thought that it was a typo.

I HAVE been gone for a while. I was busy rehearsing/performing for the past 2 months, so I just couldn't be on the computer. Too painful (for my back and neck ). But now I'm back.




That's probably not such a good thing though.

My brother has requested that I let him submit his votes late.
