The B&C Best Albums of 2013 Thread

[lazarus]

Looks like we have a clear winner emerging, barring any major surprises.

The National?

 

[PhilsFan]

Hey Laz, wanna vote? Maybe you can take down this juggernaut.

 

[lazarus]

What's in second place?

 

[PhilsFan]

Spoiler'd for those who want to wait to see the results.

Spoiler

It's very close and will most definitely swing with the next wave of lists, but it's currently My Bloody Valentine.

Ehh, won't be voting for that either.

The only big contender I'm partial to is Nick Cave.

And because you're a rule-breaker...admit it.

Could be.

I've been known to not signal a lane change when there's no one else in sight on the highway.

A streak is finally broken on List #15.

Was it everyone's #1 being different? I'm too lazy to go back and look, but it was my guess.

 

[LemonMelon]

iYup and I both had Nick Cave at #1, so that's not it.

I think mikal was our first list without the National on it. Figures.

[phanan]

I think it was the first list without a new entry included.

 

[PhilsFan]

No, LeMel got it. The first FOURTEEN lists all included The National. The next best was on eight of the first fourteen lists.

 

[phanan]

Vlad didn't have The National on his, unless we didn't include his submission for some reason.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Oh snap.

 

[bono_212]

Dannnnng

 

[PhilsFan]

God damn it.

 

[No spoken words]

You stupid, stupid little shithead.

 

[lazarus]

Yeah, I knew I had seen someone else who hadn't drunk the Kool-Aid included it.

THE MISS-TORIAN, ladies and gentlemen!

lol okay

 

[lazarus]

Hey a quick question: I noticed mikal's list only had 10 albums. Is that allowed? I thought you had to list 15, didn't know you could spread more points among fewer albums.

May affect how I finish my list.
