Fiver says The 2nd Law, Strangeland and Battle Born will be in the top 5. :(

 

Which is stupid, considering they weren't that great. Especially not "Battle Born."

 

An Awesome Wave had better be in there.

 

UGH NO.

 

First post asks, "Did your favorite album win?" I'm certain that mine won't, seeing as the only person who even put it in their list other than me is Ivet. :disappointed: Having said that, I'd really like to root for my #2, "The Silicone Veil" by Susanne Sundfør. I remember how Will and I singlehandedly put her in 67th place back in 2010. :awesome:

Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory is in there twice at 203 and 211.

 

Thanks for pointing the mistakes, guys... After all I'm human too :sweatdrop:

 

Andrew Bird was written wrong the Excel sheet, I edited that now, and that album is actually in top 20.

I corrected the Cloud Nothings album too.
