Honestly don't know how to handle this for the spreadsheet. The "editor's list" is way too arbitrary in its methodology to be included, but I can't see including the entirety of this staff list either. Maybe cut it off at 3 points, or even just the top 11? Henrik, your thoughts? I'd say a...

My favorite album doesn’t seem popular at all in this forum but as far as the British critics go its kicking butt, in fact I think it’s number 1 with them.....SO FAR. Go Wolf Alice!!!!!

Thanks. Not sure it would comply with the "main station" and/or "typically a public broadcasting service" though. "4. A radio or TV channel is eligible if it is a "main station" of a country (typically a public broadcasting service with a focus on music). The staff...

As much as I've been a big reader and fan of the site for well over a decade, Sean seems chronically incapable of doing EOY in a non-terrible way. Do an editor's list, ask the contributers to contribute more than 3 albums each and let the forum take care of their own list. Not difficult. & list...

Oh, F this S. I spent an hour adding that top 100 list to the spreadsheet last night. Can someone update this if and when the "official" posted list actually has a finalized form? They've now posted a straight totting up of staff votes. Only top 3s submitted so lots of ties, but irrespect...

Seems like while he 'did consult' other contributors, does appear, as in some other years, strongly influenced (if not more) by Sean Adams the editor.

Looks like from the cover that Lorde may have best track too.

Thanks now updated. I agree on Wolf Alice. A contender for my AOTY. Last album was no. 2 that year. Probably last band I discovered through NME.

Yes think you may be right. DiS maybe too.

As for the Brand New comment: the album's initial reception and high Mega-Critic ranking aside, the band has never been a critics' darling, as its very minimal presence on Acclaimed Music (three bubbling-under songs) indicates, despite its extremely passionate fanbase. It's entirely possible that S...

As I said at the start.

From a quick look, neither this nor Rough Trade seem to have Brand New's 'Science Fiction' despite high ratings from reviews (#16 in MCCCh). Wonder if they've taken it out after the recent allegations. Was competing for my AOTY, now thinking of taking out completely myself.
