...got one no.1 vote each. No no.1's for Dizzee Rascal.

Dizzee Rascal did however get a whopping 8 votes, with Goldfrapp on 6, The Bug on 5, The Quantic Soul Orchestra on 4 and Robert Wyatt, The Fall, Kelis and Radiohead on 3 each.

Lots of things I've not heard of never mind heard this year. belboid knows how to proper commentary, I'd be like, well I've heard of Amy Winehouse...

Top three were way ahead of the rest of the field this year.
 
This was my choice. Very last minute without much consideration.

Motorpsycho + Jaga Jazzist Horns - In the Fishtank 10
Dizzee Rascal - Boy in da Corner
The Fall - Real New Fall LP
The White Stripes - Elephant
Robert Wyatt - Cuckooland
Leonid Fedorov - Purple Day
The Bug - Pressure

Boy in da Corner is fricking awesome even though I've ignored it for 20 years.
