September 27, 201114 yr Because I'm totally up for it again if enough of you are. I know I haven't been around here pretty much at all lately (life changing at warp speed blah blah...) so I'm not sure what sort of mood or whatever the board has been in or what you've already been up to, but it is sort of a tradition and a fun one I think. For the new around here, every year we make a ranked list of our favorite albums that came out in the past year. In Decemberish I combine the rankings and come up with a board-wide countdown of our top albums. It's a great way to discover new music. :hat2: So who's in? Questions? Comments? Suggestions? :dance:
September 27, 201114 yr YES! :awesome: I always use these to figure out which albums I should really go listen to, as I often miss out on them. :P
September 27, 201114 yr Definitely. I've paid attention to releases this year more than I've paid attention in any previous year, and if there's still something awesome I missed out on, I'll want to check it out.
September 28, 201114 yr Nah. The winner will end up being either Mylo Xyloto because CPing or some britpop bs that you all seem to love so much. :p no seriously go ahead, 2011 is such a boss year. :dazzled:
September 28, 201114 yr 2011 is interesting in that there are a lot of quality albums but no definitive one. At this point, you could really make an argument for any of 10-15 albums being AOTY.
September 28, 201114 yr yepppppp. can't wait to vote for obscure albums and see them reach like #251315326 :awesome:
September 28, 201114 yr I already know Radiohead will win (excluding MX), I just wanna know by how much.
September 28, 201114 yr Nah.

LOLno.
September 28, 201114 yr nah not interested, it's MX anyway... EXCEPT: if you include ALL albums released 2011, then yes.... but with multiple choice votes then so you could give like 3 or 5 albums a vote... or you could make a top 5 of the albums, #1 gets 5 points, #2 4,... #5 1 .. whatever
September 28, 201114 yr nah not interested, it's MX anyway... EXCEPT: if you include ALL albums released 2011, then yes.... but with multiple choice votes then so you could give like 3 or 5 albums a vote... WUT. :|
September 28, 201114 yr I guess the interesting thing will be to see who comes out in the second, third, fourth and fifth places, since I think it is a given that MX will be voted the best album of 2011.
September 28, 201114 yr I love how people are saying stuff like that ^ when the album isn't even out and they've only heard legit studio versions of all of three songs, which isn't even 1/4 of the album content. :|
September 28, 201114 yr It's coldplaying.com ofcourse MX is going to win, saying that I still want one because there are loads of great albums this year and I forget about loads of them until I'm reminded, last year it made me check out Beach House :dazzled:
September 28, 201114 yr I will be surprised if Foo Fighters don't make the cut. I think their record was the best this year, yet.
September 28, 201114 yr Aside from MX, I'm hoping the second placers will be Noel Gallagher, Arctic Monkeys, Snow Patrol, and Radiohead. A lot of people seem to hate TKOL though. :(
September 28, 201114 yr TKOL is the most divisive Radiohead album yet but I still hope it does better than MX.
September 28, 201114 yr I love how people are saying stuff like that ^ when the album isn't even out and they've only heard legit studio versions of all of three songs, which isn't even 1/4 of the album content. :| I said that since I think it will be difficult to ask people here not to be biased. Like someone said, it's coldplaying.com and the normal thing would be that Mylo Xyloto takes the first place (even though it won't be necessarily the best album of 2011). My favorite picks for this year until now are the following: Bon Iver - Bon Iver, Bon Iver R.E.M. - Collapse Into Now Radiohead - The King of Limbs Foster the People - Torches Elbow - Build A Rocket Boys! Foo Fighters - Wasting Light Still listening to the new material from RCHP and Blink 182 though... I guess that apart from MX, one album that I am REALLY looking forward to hear is the new one from Florence + The Machine.
September 28, 201114 yr I don't think a whole lot of people who worship Coldplay tend to visit this section and vote in these kinds of things, so I don't really see MX winning. And TKoL is probably going to be pretty low on my list, if at all.
September 28, 201114 yr I don't think a whole lot of people who worship Coldplay tend to visit this section and vote in these kinds of things, so I don't really see MX winning. Just as long as Ian doesn't tweet about the poll, which would sabotage our efforts by drawing the attention of everyone else (still love ya, Ian :P). Like how our ETIAW-bashing threads didn't actually draw out Coldplay section regulars until it was tweeted about.
