Added!

if the goal is simply to include every album anyone might possibly vote for, then why not treat the internet as the nominations list, and just let people put whatever they want on their ballots?

meanwhile...

Conan - Monnos
Conan - Blood Eagle

Circle - Sunrise
Circle - Tulikoira

because the spellings have to be correct otherwise seandalai's software wont pick it up properly. He's doing us a great favour doing the poll tabulating and I want to make it as easy as possible for him.

plus everyone needs a list to look through otherwise they forget to vote for stuff. The fact we are still taking nominations now is proof!!!

makes sense

Hammers of Misfortune - The August Engine
Hammers of Misfortune - The Locust Years

High Spirits - High Spirits
High Spirits - Another Night

It's so hard deciding which Yob and Harvey Milk albums are the best. I could easily vote for them all. I may end up doing so.

illusion of motion, special wishes

I agree with special wishes I think but Catharsis or The Great Cessation for yob.

yeah, catharsis would be my other pick. love that album.

Yob, Harvey Milk, Unsane ,Swans and Celtic Frost (and Triptykon after that) all made amazing comeback albums as great as they did first time round. It takes something special to do that.

and all of those albums are nominated now.

It's going to be really hard to decide what misses out as 2000-15 really has seen so many great albums.

I know very few have sold enough to reach the status of Reign In Blood or Master of Puppets did in the 80s but that doesn't matter.

Its been a great time for metal IMO. Great new bands and classic old bands coming back as good as they were.

Who would've thought Iron Maiden would come back as strong after a poor 90s?

Problems with pastebin means seandalai cannot edit it so we are ditching it.

Please use the google docs link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/104IXKSHN1uWxe3MRFy4R5tHEOxLriKoBRKcjCNu_zus/edit?usp=sharing

we can at least keep that up to date.

Looks like we have 9 ballots too so quick work, I thought we only had one!

If anyone wants to update theirs due to forgetting anything just submit a new ballot and leave a message saying why for seandalai (also best to say so here too)

cheers for putting this together btw

No problem, seandalai does the important stuff though!!

btw folks please post here when you vote so we can check it's gone through. I still feel rotten that billy dods votes werent counted in the all-time metal poll as his ballot didn't arrive.

No idea if he's still around but if so I hope he votes!

well, i dont remember hot snakes or mcluskey making metal poll before so im not sure theyre eligible

last thing we want is a poll full of indie rock

zombi and ulver for instance get in because they are metal musicians and/or making music mostly listened to by metal fans.

but ive added them.

heavy rock is heavy rock. rawr.

Careful, there are Six By Seven albums heavy enough on that precedent

If anyone tries to add more indie i will need to remove them

Marnie Stern,Zombi, Swans and Lightning Bolt get in because they made metal polls previously

Though why you lot didn't nominate in the nominations thread and go through all this already..

Cosmip Slop, whatchu got against Stargazer?

your poll, but i think you're making too much of the indie vs metal distinction. i mean, it would suck if the top 10 were all p4k indie favorites, but i doubt that's gonna happen no matter what.

i wan't around when this thing started up, so i only noticed when you announced the final day or two for nominations. takes my brain at least a week to get up to thinking speed.

Dominique, nothing. Why?

everything nominated should be on the googledocs spreadsheet. We are not using pastebin anymore.
I better ask a mod to remove the pastebin link

I checked and there's 3 Stargazer albums. Should there be more?

are comps ok w/ enforcement division?

Noothgrush - Failing Early, Failing Often

because I was using the wrong google docs link and didn't see them on the spreadsheet :P

I think we decided no comps
