I didnt get a chance to add my last 5 nominations. I would have added Vienna by Ultravox and Architecture and Morality by OMD too. Black Sea by XTC is another.

I thought about Vienna and Architecture and Morality as well.

Too many great albums but not enough space to include them unfortunately.

I've done the draw so he can fuck off. 

Easily sorted, just take an Oasis album out.

The Great Escape was very good at the time, but has dated awfully.

 

Some songs that will stand the test of time, but not albums.

The Great Escape is the worst Blur album.

Modern Life is Rubbish, blur, 13, Think Tank and The Magic Whip are good albums.

Got to say, I'm proper looking forward to this. I'm working from home, so I'm plugged into Spotify all day. These draws will give me an excuse to listen to some albums I've never heard before. 

[Code]

Why are some listed with the artist first and some with the album first.

 

I will not be able to sleep because if this.

You still appear to have left out Deaf School - Second Honeymoon and I saw twenty ten votes for it. This is sooooo fucking rigged. 

[Guest]

No way he should be put in now but I wish I'd selected a Peter Gabriel album. He's a mausical genius. His videos are even more groundbreaking than some of Wacko Jacko's...And his album Us would put up a fair fight...

 

 

 

 

[TheHowieLama]

I put that record in the Best Three Track thread -  should probably be in there twice off the same record.

 

Side One

Red Rain

Sledgehammer

Don't Give Up

 

Side Two

In Your Eyes

Mercy Street

Big Time

 

 

Thats a hella buncha stuff there.

@Bjornebye  A ch@mpion's league type thing with group stage comprising one or two "seeded" albums (more votes) and four albums in each group, top two proceed? Or everyone has to choose their (say) top 50 from the list, then top 40, etc?

 

How shall I fuck off?

I'm doing groups of 4 (top 2 go through) for round 1. 1 group each day. No seeding though.

I really also should’ve thought to add Sublime - Sublime. 
 

it is, quite simply, sublime and belongs in this conversation. Even though it’s late and the list is closed, it should be added. It’s easily good enough and not adding it will invalidate the whole thing, which you’d be disappointed by.
