I got, I got, I got, I got ballots, stats, etc: ILM's Top 77 Albums of 2017 Post-Poll breakdown thread

I'm all polled out.

I'm only messing. I wish I'd listened to enough (some) metal so I could get involved!

you have 30 hours to do so!

Excuse this self-indulgent post.

I've already posted my ballot upthread. But I would have voted for these LPs too if I'd had 50 rather than 25 slots on my ballot (and some more noms; not all of these were even nominated). I feel the need to acknowledge the excellence of a few of these. 2017 = a good year IMO.
