Right. I know this. You should know I know this. I've been around for a long time. However, for other things, like desert island, rules have changed. Why should rules be so set in stone? Does it really matter what interference ranks as the best album of the year enough that we have to explain how we got our results and letting a little simple math get in the way...? Shouldn't threads like this be begging for participation instead of auto-DQing people for not listing to tons of albums?

I'm going to punch your stupid list in the stomach if Art Angels is not super high.

You're list is getting wheel kicked right to the temple.

The only reason I referred to it as a competition.

Competitive aspect. There's a lot more to this thread than determining an overall winner. In fact, a winner is only determined to encourage others to listen to it if they haven't already. Nobody participating wins anything, unless we introduce a raffle or something. Perhaps next year.

Anyway, half of these lists need to be dropkicked off a cliff for not having To Pimp a Butterfly on them.

[lazarus]

I'm pretty sure he meant the competition between the albums, not something personal between people.

No one's list "wins" as in Desert Island.

Yeah, shit, this new Baroness album is good. I've never heard anything by them but I'll make time for the other albums.

They're all good. Enjoying the new quite a bit so far, listening to Shock Me pretty much daily.

I just got Apple Music so I'm starting to fill in some holes from this year, like Wolf Alice's album.

[u2popmofo]

I've listened to that Wolf Alice album several times, it never really stuck with me.

[lazarus]

You know what will stick with you?

The Hobbit movies sorta make me forget how much I used to like Lord of the Rings.

1 A Heart Is A Monster — Failure (20)
2 Purple — Baroness (19)
3 Oneohtrix Point Never — Garden Of Never (15)
4 Neon Indian — Vega Int'l Night School (12)
5 Torche — Restarter (10)
6 Fuzz — II (8)
7 Tame Impala — Current (5)
8 El Vy — Return To The Moon (2)
9 Carly Rae Jepsen — Emotion (2)
10 Kendrick Lamar — To Pimp A Butterfly (2)
11 CHVRCHES — Every Open Eye (1)
12 Wilco — Star Wars (1)

15 Grimes — Art Angels (1)

don't say that this vote is weird, just calmly carry on

I find it interesting that Courtney Barnett is turning up all over the critics' lists but barely at all here. Personally I never found her to be remotely as clever as a lot of people were claiming.

[GirlsAloudFan]

We've only had a handful turned in.

She'll be very high on mine.

EDIT: Looks like nine have been turned in. Still a pretty small sample.
