KF is top 10 for sure

I should probably listen to that whole Lil Wayne album, huh? I've had it for two years and have only ever played "A Milli."

I would break ties by
a) total number of votesb) highest-ranking vote
― jaymc, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:31 (thirteen years ago) link
the way i break a tie in the eoy metal poll is by #1 votes and if it has none # of voters.

tha carter iii is a very strong album but i'd think most lil wayne votes would go to tha carter ii, right?

Nice one. Still one of Spoon's best albums, right alongside Girls Can Tell.

Spoons best albums = Telephone and A Series of Sneaks. Everything else ranges from "oh, alright" to "meh."

i'd rank gimme fiction below kill the moonlight, girls can tell, and ga*5 in that order, but it's still got some killer songs on it
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:41 (thirteen years ago) link
I listened to GAGAGAGAGAGA a bunch of times and liked it and yet just can't find it in me to care about ever listening to Spoon again or checking their other albums. Nice covers though.
― fuque santa cruz (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:42 (thirteen years ago) link
i know i've said this before but the front of gimme fiction slays and then it gets deathly boring for 3 or 4 tracks toward the back.

I rather like indiepop, but something about Camera Obscura (and it's not just limited to their packaging) rubs me wrong.

― good news if you wear cargo shorts (contenderizer), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 18:00 (thirteen years ago) link

I did vote! maybe they counted one of our ballots as unranked. If they did, correct ranking would have put it only one spot higher, so I guess it's no big deal

The best part about "In Rainbows" is still how Radiohead managed to commit what starting at a person napping sounds like to tape.

a) Fatboy Slim never went away. He just released an album under a different name last year.b) Portishead and Norman Cook are alike in what way?c) Third is awesome. Eat a dick.

We already have exceptions to the queue rule: EOY polls happen at the end of each year. If mid-decade polls are a thing that ILX "does", they should happen each year that's divisible by five imo.
