I have 10 Nick Cave albums in my top 500. (The next best is Low with 8.) So totally agree with your assessment. Another artist I think is worth the full discography treatment is Bjork (including The Sugarcubes).

Apologies in advance Nassim. It wouldn't have made any list I made in 2006 because it wasn't what I expected or wanted to hear, but I have come to like it. Nothing they made later gets onto my lists, but BH&R is really pretty good once you get over it not being the great album early fans were ho...

2003.xls ALBUMS results. 35 voters voted for 214 different albums. Less voters, but more albums than 2000-2002, reflecting less enthusiasm for the leading albums of 2003 (I’m expecting something similar for 2004). It is borderline whether any further 2003 albums will qualify as wildcards. Rank | Ar...

I have 'No Cars Go' as my #11 for 2007 at the moment. I guess the only excuse is that it is a different version. Votes will be accepted in 2007, but I will remember to include your vote in the wildcard calculation Rob.

Your time is running out - about 25 hours left for voting.

Actually came out in 2002 (I put it on my list for that year). Yes, actually 3 people voted for it in 2002. Come to think of it, didn't Ignition (Remix) as well, despite what it says on AM?

I concede that a different scoring system would be preferable. Although I'm a bit unsure as I rank by preference and don't normally attempt to score albums or songs. But I'm sure I could give it a go (and would gain pleasure from giving the three songs at the bottom of my list a zero - don't worry J...
