Thought I'd steal this idea from the official board and compare the results. And I figured putting this in the lounge would get the most replies.

 

Post your top 10 albums from 2005. Your #1 pick gets 10 points, #2 9, etc...

You can't include any albums from 2004, and no live/greatest hits collections. You can only vote once, but you can edit your posts if you change your mind.

 

If you put less than 10 albums (say only 3), the albums will only get 3, 2 and 1 point respectively. So be sure to pick 10!

 

If you're unsure if the album was released in 2005 or not, you can check at http://www.allmusic.com/ and search for the album/artist.
