Space Cadet Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 It's time for our annual albums of the year poll! :dance: To get us started, I'm pasting in last years version of the rules. Updates to follow. In the meantime, talk amongst yourselves and post lists-in-progress here. 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: 9AM EST Monday January 2nd 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 was not eligible, but the Scott Pilgrim original score was eligible. ~ 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 2010 and December 1st 2011. 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 2010-digital and 2011-physical release date, the physical release is eligible this year ONLY IF the digital release did not receive any votes in the 2010 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 may vote for Coldplay`s Mylo Xyloto, however, since it has an unfair advantage over other albums on this board, it is not eligible to finish in first place, but rather is defending Coldplay`s status as `King of the Board`.

Space Cadet Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 err, 2 months before deadline okaySome people like to have a space to keep lists in progress and talk about albums. This traditionally starts in late September or early October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrisonrules Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 The album of the year will be Coldplay: Mylo Xyloto! I know it's a little early but this band has never let me down. They have been my favorite band since the AROBTTH era. I even was one of the few here that loved Paradise + I have liked every other new song a lot!

squareonefivesix Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I take it we can vote for the Tron soundtrack? Released 3rd December 2010 so it's just inside the release-time window according to the rules yay :dance: I never did get round to buying it but I listened to it on spotify a helluva lot last winter. 'S a good album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
