It's been a long time since I've done one of these. Inspired by Holden's list of each music years ranked, we'll be starting with the best year for music in the 2010s... 2010. After this it'll be 2002, then 1994, 1980, and so on. Nevertheless here's the rules:
The rules:
1. The 10 highest ranking albums and the 20 highest ranking songs will be automatically included in the tournament. This tournament will have 32 albums and 64 songs.
2. Private Message me a list of 5 albums and 7 songs you want to see in the tournament
3. Nomination are due by Wednesday 22nd April at noon UTC
4. Each person’s #1 choice will be included, if two or more people have the same #1 their #2 and further on will be included.
5. If there is still room left any albums or songs mentioned multiple times will get in.
