So here we go-
PLEASE READ ALL OF THE BELOW BEFORE VOTING

You can vote for a minimum of 20 and maximum of 100 albums, But you CANNOT VOTE FOR MORE THAN 3 ALBUMS BY THE ONE BAND

You can choose to submit a weighted, unweighted or split ballot. Points will be assigned as follows: Weighted: 1st choice (top of the ballot) 260 points, then 245, 235, 225, 220, 215, 210, 205, 200, 195, 190, 188, 186, 184 and so on down to 2 points for 100th place. Unweighted: Every choice gets 113 points. Split: The top portion is treated as a weighted ballot and the remaining potential points total is divided equally among the bottom portion.

But It would be good if those who don't want to rank a full ballot would still rank the top 10 or 20 then do a split unranked ballot rather than pure unweighted.
It's entirely up to you but It's helpful for avoiding ties and the top albums deserves the points. So please try and rank part of your ballot. You know it looks better when albums have a #1.

Some may want to just vote for the heaviest or 'rockingest' tracks. They may wish to vote in the style of the 80s poll. Or you may just simply want to vote for your favourite albums in the list. It's entirely up to you. Just vote please!

Please make sure you copy and paste your selections directly from the following spreadsheet: ALBUMS: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AumbddEHET5xdEZaQ0paMUZpNEdGeUdRSGRTY3BfV2c

Here is the voting form
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEN3MGdQQkdWWUtsM19SYlZ0UTdzQkE6MQ

There is also a Spotify Albums Playlist please subscribe to it. Not everything is on Spotify though.

Voting Closes Nov 8th 11.59 PM UK Time

Please use this thread to campaign for albums, particularly the lesser known ones. It will result in albums being checked out and probably voted for. Campaigning really works
Do not post youtubes in here. Please start a separate thread for that.

Now please campaign and vote and enjoy listening to a multitude of new albums! And feel free to discuss any bands or albums here or about music in the 70s. lets have lots of good discussion, everyone welcome to join in even those who don't want to vote.

Have fun!

ps bookmark the thread!

i kindof feel like exactly these things that are being used itt to describe these guys as dicks are exactly why they are good. lack of responsibility. bailing out on the debts they said they would pay. its cathartic and refreshing. the deal was not the deal i thought it was. the fine print was unreadable. i wanted the money but not the job. this is how i feel, bypassing the beaurocracies that displace every responsibility. don't phone in sick because its a busy shift. i don't fucking care. its like epic records. standing on the balcony. i wish i could do that. i still have to fucking wait tables every night. i'm glad somebody can. standing teetering on the edge. two fingers. tie the cord, kick the chair and you're dead. if i call in sick its my fucking coworkers that take the brunt. this is it, the production of innocence. my boss is my best friend. we're all victims. there's something to be said for it. the album is so good as well. all uncontainable id. no love. deep web. wrapped up so tight i can't breath. i need something that punctures it. interrupts these notions of responsibility that are predicated on this particular handshake. i hope i can pay my rent this month.

epic album: the pluto (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 18 December 2012 16:39 (eleven years ago) link

ad communication: take Understand Me for instance. Chief is beggng me to understand him, but he does it in a totally nonchalant, detached way that makes it clear that a) he's not really expecting me to understand him or even say something he wants to hear, and b) it really doesn't matter anyway. The ad libs are pretty unfocused, happy with being sounds rather than emphasizing how important it is that I understand him. Then enter Jeezy, the traditional goon, who starts off by referencing Keef's hit, as if it is really important to him that we understand that he is very aware of whose song he is on. As his verse proceeds, he uses his ad libs to create the illusion that he is in fact the ideal audience to his own narrative, laughing at the jokes, admiring the objects of desire he describes in his verse - totally immersed in communicating. Now I'm specifically not saying that because of this Keef is a lesser lyricist than Jeezy - I am describing their styles and delivery and the impression created by them and how Keef differs from other goons.

In Gucci too there is always an element of "look at me, see what I can do and say" - a joy in acting aout the Gucci persona - that is not exactly lacking but rather obscured or displaced in Keef.

The White Stripes. Sorry, but I just cannot for the life of me stand more than a few songs.
I feel like I should love this band based on my musical/listening tastes, but I find them so boring.
Yes, Jack White is a recording machine and super cool, but yeah, I don't get the overall hype of this band. Ever.

Nobody would want to read that because it would be intellegent. Heavens forbid that intellgence would get anywhere these days.

Music and it's culture is at all time low - thanks to Pop these days just being a factory line with no room for being creative. The marketing is more important than the songs. Dance keeps repeating itself and people who listen to it are twats anyway. Indie has become boring and stale, and needs a good firm kick up the arse if it is to be at least a little fresh and exciting again. (Ha!).

Differences between the CD they sent and mine:

1) Theirs is a shiny sleeve, with a booklet
2) mine is a matt sleeve, no booklet but Track listing on the sleeve and the label.

Apart from that, difficult to tell them apart.

(How can you tell it's not a cd-r btw?)
