About 20 hours to go, it might be a bit longer as I'm a bit busy, but I'll try to get the decade poll rolling as soon as possible.

Still expecting a few lists - Nicolas, Phil, Toni ....

I must admit, there was a small seed of doubt that you might actually be serious Rob. "Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle" did rank #10 for 2009 in our recent all-time poll. On the other hand it only ranked #23 last time we did a 2009 year poll. A couple of high placements can make all the ...

I don’t know much about the city; is it a quiet and melancholy place? Ha Ha No. Indeed, Autumn as you know it doesn't happen in Perth. Autumn and winter are mild. I have family in Perth and usually when I'm there the sky is blue, when clouds come they come swiftly, dump their rain hard and go. I'm ...

I like their #1 pick, I hadn't expected Aldous Harding to get this sort of recognition. Still it is ridiculous that the list includes albums that haven't been released yet.

I would say 2010. We do count digital pre-releases if they are for promotional purposes or are fully sanctioned/legal. This one was leaked illegally.

Hi Pauler
A couple more albums would make those count:

Rule 1:
Only lists with at least 5 songs/albums will be counted.

I remember the single "Groovin'", but that wasn't/isn't to my taste. Fortunately, I like most of the album better and actually find it quite varied even though it does suffer when compared with the many great albums released in 1967. With "How can I be sure", I have the David Cas...

Well 2009 just got worse, because you voted for this one in our 2008 poll (along with 7 other folks).

ALBUMS results. 32 voters voted for 176 different albums. A different #1 from previous polls. Outside the top 10 only one album has any chance of making the decade poll via wildcard.

14. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (or is that 2008?)

Also, I can’t remember whether or not Kill the Light by Kitten originally came out in 2009 - I thought 2010, but if it’s actually 2009 it’s my new number one.

I think you are right about both of those: Bad Romance = 2009, Kill the Light = 2010.

With 5 spots locked for the 4 toping the year in AM and, unfortunately, Viva la Vida, it seems like a very open year. Even assuming Elbow and Kanye are fairly safe, that leaves 3 spots that pretty much any albums could take. Pretty much spot on - except that you forgot about two albums that are qui...

I will close off in 24 hours time. Right now, our #1 song of 2008 is surprising (at least to me). 8 albums are scoring well, but after that there is a half hearted tussle for positions 9 & 10 with no albums currently outside the top 8 scoring enough to crack the wildcard list. Lots of possibilit...

I intend to consider the likes of Beth Gibbons & Mimi Parker for the artists poll, but will exclude Portishead and Low from the Albums and Songs lists. These bands would take quite a few high positions in those lists, while there are plenty of female/female dominated bands that are well worth a ...
