Bumping this because I'm wondering if it's eligible. On the one hand, since the Rolling Stone list of the best alternative albums of the '60s is eligible, I see no reason why a Mojo list of best indie albums shouldn't be. On the other hand, this list has a weird mixture of albums, EPs and even singles. I'm not sure how Henrik would do it. Put the singles in the songs list, and albums/EPs in the albums list?

I personally like the list and hope it somehow gets included on AM. I've always been a fan of the Delgados' The Great Eastern and this would help bump it up slightly.

Oh sorry, I just noticed that this was already added in JR's thread of eligible lists. Great!

This is not eligible. Mojo is not an indie-specific magazine. The 60s list is from Spin, who focus on alternative music.

[irreduciblekoan]

Whoops, not the 60s list. I meant this list: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2008, which you said was eligible, even though Rolling Stone don't focus on alternative music. Perhaps it is eligible because it was published in book form?

Yes
