Darkness on the edge of town by Springsteen got two votes I think. 

I've got 1, checked a few times. Happy to be proven wrong like. I did most of it right after the game so might have made a few mistakes. 

[cloggypop]

Still no Remain In Light by Talking Heads in there.

Hahaha he broke the rules twice there. I gave him a chance to sort it and he didn't. 

 

He thinks he's some sort of Rebellious Long Haired Communist Romantic when in reality he's just a Prick from Novomoskovsk

Thanks mate. 

 

To be fair pretty much everyone had a great selection. I was very tempted to say fuck it and just do every album chosen and have leagues of 10 but it would have taken too long. 

 

I don't think Elvis got a single nomination by the way.

Elvis never made a truly great LP. Elvis in Memphis is good but not surprised to see him miss out.

I was sad when it seemed that had missed out. It's way better than Songs In The Key of Life imo.

Agreed.

 

Stevie Wonder should really have three or four entries. He was a phenomenon from the late 60s to 1976.

You should try and get it to 128 by some sort of play off from the single votes. There are some great albums in there. Maybe list them and then everyone gets 3 votes from the list. Think you did something like that before.

Prison, Operation Yew Tree

[Vincent Vega]

Some absolute belters missing the final list. I wish I’d known it would take two nominations to make the cut, I’d have waited until much later and made sure a few favourites outside my nominated 10 made the list.

[Code]

Unbelieavable Jeff.

This is very true. Unfortunately dicko's rules say only one album from each band. It's a brave call to place The Wall above Dark Side. Similar with Physical Graffiti as opposed to 1 (not even mentioned), 3, or 4.

[Bjornebye]

Some very very very good albums only got 1 vote. I'll run a list of them off tomorrow when I sort out the other entries. My eyesight is fucked.
