Decade poll time.

You don't have to have participated in the year polls to vote in the decade poll.

Put your rank (1, 2, 3, etc) into the “rank” column of the excel sheet (below). If you have not heard a song or album, please leave the rank cell blank. Songs/albums you don't rank will be given the same score as the song/album in the middle of your list, so if you don't like a song/album do rank it so that it doesn't end up being bumped up in a way you didn't intend. The rank cells will be highlighted in pink if you give two albums/songs the same rank.

Please include comments if you are so inclined - all comments will be published in the roll-out.

Songs playlist



Just 3 missing in my area:-
Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Doggy Dogg - Nuthin' but a "G" Thang
Stardust - Music Sounds Better with You
Talk Talk - Ascension Day

I've submitted my song list.

The playlist includes The Last Dance by Disco Inferno when the song included in the final poll is actually The Long Dance

Received. Thank You

Bang Jan wrote:The playlist includes The Last Dance by Disco Inferno when the song included in the final poll is actually The Long Dance

I have changed the playlist. Some may disagree, but I do find the Long Dance the better version.

Submitted my albums list.

Also, how many submissions are there so far?

I'll try and get mine in soon

submitting a song list now (not doing an album ranking)

How many submissions now?

Excel is easier for me, but send in whatever form you can do.

Album list sent. Songs in a day or two.

I'm hoping to kick off the songs results in about 4 days time. Only 15 songs submissions so far.

Please let me know if you need extra time to get your votes in..

I've send in my list just now. Sadly, this time I didn't have time for writing any comments to go along with it.

That deadline crept up!

I will put a vote in. It shouldn't take too long as I've rated the full list previously. I'll likely send it on the deadline (on Friday).

Forgot I hadn’t made a list yet, will do it this weekend.

I'm probably not going to get a songs list in unless deadline is extended but working on albums now.

My highest ranked album to not be on the list is Time Out Of Mind at my #15. I was surprised my #1 was ON the list, but equally surprised Time Out Of Mind is not.

I've submitted my song/album list.

I'll close off for Songs votes in 24 hours time unless anyone needs a little more time (phil, Jirin?)

I’ll send a list today, later!

I just submitted my song list last minute, huzzah!

I just submitted both of mine even more last-minute!

Good turnout now. We have 30 submissions and at this stage I'm not expecting anymore. So I'll do a few final checks and start the rollout in about 12 hours.

I will start the albums rollout in a few days.

What's the drop dead deadline for this, because I'd like to submit a list. Thanks.

I'm also just trying to rank a few more before submitting. If it's OK, I'll submit tomorrow?
