Space Cadet Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalomania Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosesTheMarshmallow Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 This year has a lot of good albums, so yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 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.

admnistramation Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-para-parrotdies Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Track Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Yes, definitely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous Old Painter Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I already know Radiohead will win (excluding MX), I just wanna know by how much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 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: :lol: I agree with your spoiler. :nod: I already know Radiohead will win (excluding MX), I just wanna know by how much. LOLno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Track Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 ^wtf I actually think Bon Iver, Bon Iver will win (excluding MX). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_escapist Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 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.

Violet Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 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. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyan Kat Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saket Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I will be surprised if Foo Fighters don't make the cut. I think their record was the best this year, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 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. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 TKOL is the most divisive Radiohead album yet but I still hope it does better than MX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an angel Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
