I guess I could have sorted it out so that if 2 albums are equal on points the more people voted for it would have put it above the other album.

predictions:

a rush of blood

bends

mornign glory

origin of symmetry

under the iron sea

 

You will be suprised at your predictions, 4 out of the 5 are correct ;)

In 25th with 53 points, it is

Athlete with Tourist

 

 

An album I purchased on the 4th May 2005 according to Amazon

In 24th place, it's Jack White's other band 2nd album

The Raconteurs - Consolers of the lonely with 55 points

 

In 23rd place, it's the Brit school of performing arts favourite band, it is The Kooks with Konk who scored 62 points. How people can rank Konk over such greats as An End has a start is surprising

 

Rolling up in 22nd place, it's James favourite band with their self-titled 2nd album, Razorlight by Razorlight scoring 64 points.

 

 

You don't really want to mess with those guys on a saturday night

In 21st place, it's Andover's favourite son's 2nd album, it's James Blunt with All the Lost Souls

 

Scoring 74 points.

 

 

And whatever you say I like that artwork

How people can rank Konk over such greats as An End has a start is surprising

 

How people can rank The Kooks over the sound of someone being sick or nails down a blackboard is beyond me...

In 19th place, there is a draw, and with 3 votes each, there is no way to break them up with 80 points:

 

Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People

 

 

I would make a judgment but that album I haven't listened to

 

Dave Matthews Band - Under The Table And Dreaming

 

 

See above comment on judgments

Taking a break from the main countdown, some more random facts about the countdown.

 

Gnarls Barkley - the odd couple down in 92nd place is the lowest ranked album which had 2 people voting for it

Kings of Leon- Aha Shake Heartbreak down in 64th place had 3 people voting for it, again the lowest ranked album with 3 votes

Razorlight with Razorlight in 22nd had 4 people voting for it

James Blunt was the highest ranked album with 2 people voting for it and Paul McCartney's Ram was the highest ranked album with a single vote.

 

And the following album is the highest ranked album with 3 votes, in 18th place it it the Beatles 2nd album, With the Beatles, scoring 86 points

 

In 17th place scoring 87 points from 4 voters it is Linkin Park with Meteora

 

And storming into 16th place, with 95 points from 5 voters, it is Smashing Pumpkins with Siamese Dream

 

But marching into 15th place, it's the U2 album which time forgot, getting 96 points from 5 voters, it's October

 

How many people voted in total?

In 14th place, with 126 points making it the highest album with 4 voters, it's Interpol with Antics

 

 

A Band I saw when they supported Coldplay at Crystal Palace

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNtGYdm2rOY]YouTube - Interpol - Evil[/ame]

How many people voted in total?

 

I made it 30

13th place might be unlucky for some, but it isn't for the 2nd led zeppelin album, called Led Zeppelin II

 

Scoring 128 points from 6 voters

 

 

Now I would post a promotional video of one of the singles, but as Led Zeppelin didn't do singles, here's a live version of Whole Lotta Love
