Dawson, Slowdive, SZA, Sundfor, Jlin, Arca, Kendrick?

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:43 (six years ago) link

that was an xp

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:43 (six years ago) link

Charly Bliss more likely than Dawson

Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:43 (six years ago) link

Reckon both of them

devvvine, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:44 (six years ago) link

Dawson won't rake in 23-ish votes I reckon. Sorry LJ, I tried :-(

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:44 (six years ago) link

guess I missed the threads where Charly Bliss was discussed. Not having even *heard of* an artist that makes it into the top 10 in one of these polls is a first for me!

Dan S, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:45 (six years ago) link

i think dawson be in.

charly bliss: guppy

Dan S, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:46 (six years ago) link

dawson has a much bigger following here than arca

ufo, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:46 (six years ago) link

look at how many electronic albums have placed

Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:47 (six years ago) link

Yeah, arca was the one I was confused about.

MarkoP, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:47 (six years ago) link

vs how many growly prog trad folk albums

Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:47 (six years ago) link

I can see Richard Dawson attracting six or seven #1 votes and nothing else so yeah it could well place. No way is Arca finishing this high.

Kendrick not getting #1 would be a major surprise though.

Matt DC, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:47 (six years ago) link

I'd say SZA, Slowdive, Jlin, and Kendrick are the only locks from LBI's list, rest are up for grabs.

Moodles, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:48 (six years ago) link

The electronic albums to have placed have all been house, techno or ambient of some variety and it just wouldn't make sense for Arca to finish so high above Bjork.

Matt DC, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:48 (six years ago) link

or kelela for that matter

sophistipop 2 (stritram), Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:49 (six years ago) link

Not having even *heard of* an artist that makes it into the top 10 in one of these polls is a first for me!

So you weren't paying attention to the Tracks rollout?

MarkoP, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:50 (six years ago) link

You're all forgetting something. Liam Gallagher's 'As You Were'.

Matt DC, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:50 (six years ago) link

Yeah, no way is Arca that loved on here.

Moodles, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:51 (six years ago) link

we've all forgotten The Arcana

ufo, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:51 (six years ago) link

You are all forgetting Drab Majesty

ArchCarrier, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:52 (six years ago) link

arca is actually bad

marcos, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:52 (six years ago) link

Heavy Messages (jed_), Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:53 (six years ago) link

I'm just hoping Mouth Moods doesn't show up.

MarkoP, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:53 (six years ago) link

I love that arca record but no way in hell does it place now

faust apes (NickB), Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:53 (six years ago) link

scoff walker (diamonddave85), Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:57 (six years ago) link

@brad let's make sure the emo goon cru rides this hard for something next year lol

Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:57 (six years ago) link

I'm so confused, the fakeouts this year have been so real that reality itself has lost all meaning.

Moodles, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:57 (six years ago) link

shite cover, solid record

faust apes (NickB), Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:57 (six years ago) link
