Drumroll please, :drummer:

It's time for the annual

Albums of the Year Poll

5th Anniversary Edition
:toff:

:dance:

 

 

 

coldplayingbanner2010.jpg

 

 

 

 

The idea:

Make a ranked list of your 5 to 25 top original studio albums released this year.
There will be a countdown of Coldplaying's favorite new albums after the deadline.

The deadline:

Thursday, December 30th at
8:00pm EST

The rules:

~ Original studio albums only, please.
No EPs, live albums, reissues, or compilation albums.
Soundtracks must be primarily original material. For example the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World soundtrack is not eligible, but the Scott Pilgrim original score is.

 

~ A list must have
at least 5 albums to count.
You may list up to 25 albums. Lists must be ranked by the deadline.

 

~ Albums must have been
originally released between December 1st 2009 and December 1st 2010
.
The original release date is the first official release date in the US or UK, whichever is first. International-only releases go by the first official release date worldwide.

 

~ You may edit your list at any time up to the deadline. Post your tentative lists here and I will post a link to it in the second post. The list I link to will be the list I count, so make sure you edit your original list or let me know if you post a new one.

 

~ Digital-only releases are welcome. If an album has a split 2009-digital and 2010-physical release date, the physical release is eligible this year ONLY IF the digital release did not receive any votes in the 2009 poll. Unofficial leaks do not count.

 

~ Please number your albums and write the artist name before the album name. For example, #1. Radiohead - In Rainbows

(This will save eons of time and will help you find out the results much sooner. Thanks.)

 

~ You cannot vote for In Rainbows.

ALWAYS double-check release dates.

 

It's been a very good year, methinks. :D

Here is my official list for Coldplaying. It is a little different than my usual list since I put it more in order of how I want to get those album points. For example I loved Hannah Georgas' album, but nobody else will have it in their lists, so I took it out and instead would like a band like Foals get those points if that makes sense.

 

  1. The National - High Violet
  2. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
  3. LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening
  4. Beach House - Teen Dream
  5. Caribou - Swim
     
  6. The Besnard Lakes - The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night
  7. Broken Social Scene - Forgiveness Rock Record
  8. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
  9. Vampire Weekend - Contra
  10. Land of Talk - Cloak and Cipher
     
     
  11. Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
  12. Stars - The Five Ghosts
  13. Aidan Knight - Versicolour
  14. Yukon Blonde - s/t
  15. Zeus - Say Us
     
  16. of Montreal - False Priest
  17. Diamond Rings - Special Affections
  18. Gorillaz - Plastic Beach
  19. Foals - Total Life Forever
  20. Owen Pallet - Heartland
     
  21. Shad - TSOL
  22. Wintersleep - New INheritors
  23. Karkwa - Les Chemins De Verre
  24. Holy Fuck - Latin
  25. Sufjan Stevens - Age of Adz

There were so many good albums this year.

 

I think that my top 4 is going to look something like this (of course it might change, but at this point I'm pretty positive that those 4 will stay in that position... that is unless an amazing album gets released before the end of the year.... possibly LP8 ;) [wishful thinking :P]

1. The Suburbs-Arcade Fire

2. Teen Dream-Beach House

3. Forgiveness Rock Record-Broken Social Scene

4. High Violet-The National

Also, you had that waiting, didn't you.

 

Shit, I can feel the euphoria rising inside. I can't believe it's that time already. I have been planning this for a long time. My list will be up soon.
Actually, it's two days early, but I couldn't wait any longer. Thus no instructions yet.

WHAAA? You legitimately bought ALL of those? :surprised: That's impressive.

 

Yeah, I spend too much on CDs lol. I'm not rich, I just believe in valuing the work of good artists.

 

Also, "Ocean Eyes" is a 2009 album. It was the deluxe edition that was released in late January of this year. Technically, that shouldn't count.

 

RAGE. :veryangry2:

It was too. Crap, I didn't put in my 2009 list. This upsets me.

 

I usually do a top 50 so I can have a top 25 easy! :D

Hmm... interesting year for me. On one hand I got the chance to buy and love almost every album on that list. What it meant though, was that I was listening to 5 or 10 favourite new albums over and over again, rather than listening to new things, so the time never materialized to make the list longer. I haven't even listened to Stars' album more than once, and I own it. :thinking:
