not sure how Remain In Light is in both the 1979 and 1980 polls, always thought of it as from 1980, voting for it in this one

ok I forgot that thread title was a mistake
― Dan S, Thursday, 18 April 2019 00:24 (five years ago) link
that will be confusing when searching for the real 1979 poll

I asked the mods to delete it

Oh my! Like, what a fuckin' surprise!

joy division 1 vote

Joy Division with only 1 vote! Shocking!

Yes, that was a surprise. Two out of three ain't bad, as Meat Loaf once sang.
I can think of about 40 albums released in 1980 that mean more to me than Remain in Light, but whatever.

to ilx they are just demos for the real project
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Friday, 19 April 2019 00:24 (five years ago) link
Ha! Yeah, I can see how one would think that...
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Friday, 19 April 2019 00:27 (five years ago) link
ilx is of course wrong

sorry to the lone voter for The Beat, I know it's as good as Crocodiles but 'All That Jazz' came on shuffle recently and I lost my mind.
― campreverb, Friday, 19 April 2019 03:29 (five years ago) link
I voted for Closer, which I suppose makes it the 1980 album for people who don't care for 1980.

This is amazing footage, imo.
