When can we expect results? :thinking:

Well the deadline, officially is 22:00 GMT!

 

And I will get onto it as soon as possible! I will need to get to grips with the point system used in previous '...ALBUMS OF ALL TIME'

 

A few days at most I should think :)

22:00 GMT, so 11pm tonight UK time :P

I am currently working on calculating the votes and ultimately which album will be crowned COLDPLAYING'S FAVOURITE DEBUT ALBUM OF ALL TIME!

 

There were 16 Eligible lists!

 

I am afraid that one or two were not eligible because they did not comply with the rules (see the first post for the rules!)

 

There have been a few problems I have encountered so far regarding what qualifies as a debut album.

 

I have found that there has been a vote(s) for both:

McCartney by Paul McCartney

AND

Ram by Paul McCartney

 

ALSO

Oracular Spectacular by MGMT

AND

Climbing To New Lows by MGMT

 

To make it MUCH easier for me in calculating the votes, I have decided to include all of them :)

I just thought I would inform you :)

Only 16 lists :(

:(

You forgot votes for both:

We Are Scientists - Safety, Fun, and Learning (In That Order)

&

We Are Scientists- With Love & Squalor

 

;)

 

*thread locked for audit purposes*

*wonders when the count-down will be*

:whistle:
