Nocturne

 

[the tourist]

Nocturne

 

[No spoken words]

And my axe!

 

[iron yuppie]

Nocturne

So your mindset seems to be that mentioning the title as many times as possible will trick PFan into allotting it more points.

 

[bono_212]

, is it working?

 

[iron yuppie]

I did my part by voting it #3 on my list.

 

[gump]

How could one not vote for an album called Nocturne?

 

[cobl04]

I did my part by not including it.

 

[the tourist]

Friggin Cobbler.

 

[bono_212]

Cobbler doesn't get my vote

 

[PhilsFan]

Cobbler's list won't even get counted. POWER MOVE.

 

[cobl04]

Where are the votes for Something for Kate gonna come from now???

 

[bono_212]

Cobbler's list won't even get counted. POWER MOVE.

BAM! Power. Juice.

 

[the tourist]

Cobbler's list won't even get counted. POWER MOVE.

This made me laugh far more than it should have.

 

[cobl04]

I think in a couple of months' time I'm going I be rating good kid, m.A.A.d city and Until the Quiet Comes much higher. Huge growers.

 

[nielsgov]

Trying to be hipster by following Pitchfork's taste huh?

I'll throw in a final, official submission to try to help make a dent in this thing. Can't in good conscience give point totals to either RED or TEN, so here we go:

Dirty Projectors - Swing Lo Magellan - 15
Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel - 15
Jack White - Blunderbuss - 13
Bruce Springsteen - Wrecking Ball - 13
Grizzly Bear - Shields - 8
Bob Dylan - Tempest - 8
Lana Del Rey - Born To Die - 6
Ke$ha - Warrior - 5
Bloc Party - Four - 4
Spiritualized - Sweet Heart, Sweet Light - 3
Tennis - Young & Old - 3
Cat Power - Sun - 3
Best Coast - The Only Place - 2
Sleigh Bells - Reign of Terror - 2

I think those point totals for DIRTY PROJ and Fiona should be able to bump them up some spots in the final tally. Power move.

Gossamer did a lot worse than I figured it would.

Where the fuck is Laz's list? With another 15 from him, Idler Wheel could be way up there.

 

[No spoken words]

Where the fuck is your list, Laz?

 

[U2inUtah]

This is my favorite thread of the year. I always find a few albums I hadn't heard of or listened to yet from all of your lists.

 

[cobl04]

Laz, where the fuck is your list?

 

[No spoken words]

Hey fucking Lazuli, where is your vote? This is bullshit.

 

[LemonMelon]

Captain Tubing needs to get his head out of his ass and post a list.

 

[cobl04]

Arsehole.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Haven't done this for a while. Being in dissertation mode for the second half of the year (and doctoral exams [passed with distinction(!)] for the first half), the list is fairly pedestrian. I don't have the time or the energy to devote to hunting down music the way I used to, sadly.

Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel... (15)
Bob Dylan - Tempest (14)
Dwight Yoakam - 3 Pears (13)
Jack White - Blunderbuss (12)
The Wallflowers - Glad All Over (11)
Regina Spektor - What We Saw from the Cheap Seats (10)
Leonard Cohen - Old Ideas (9)
Bruce Springsteen - Wrecking Ball (8)
Rufus Wainwright - Out of the Game (7)
The Cult - Choice of Weapon (6)
Ben Folds Five - The Sound of the Life of the Mind (5)
Smashing Pumpkins - Oceania (4)
The Killers - Battle Born (3)
Garbage - Not Your Kind of People (2)
Frank Ocean - Channel ORANGE[/I[ (1)
