Re: Q - 476 Modern Classics : The Greatest Albums of the last 30 years
Picked by 24 writers it's 15 albums per year, except 6 for 2016, plus 5 Soundtracks, 5 Live albums & 5 Anthologies. Also 5 but actually 6 or 7 'Modern Hero' picks, of which 5 were also picked by the writers. So the total is actually 472 or 473. I guess you could add more weight to the 5 picks they both chose or just ignore them.
It's then 2 pages on each year with the first entry in the transcribed list, below, getting a full page of writing/pics, as if that was their no.1 pick - but not actually saying so.
The next four, taking up most of the 2nd page, then get an equal smaller paragraph each, as if these were their next 4 best - but not actually saying so.
The next 10 then all appear on the side of the 2nd page below 'We also loved...', with an equal shorter, sentence or two, review each.
So moving clockwise left to right up then down, this is how they all appear :
