thats what the thread is all about! well not even to influence people, just to share what people know and like to suggest things to listen to and be aware of....more important than the hierarchical oppressive FASCIST poll results
Be patient. You never know. Maybe The Fall will win again and all order will be restored.

Tyranny of The Fall says it all
OK lonely no.1's. All =29th place.
Possibly painful realisations or a celebration of someone's favourite obscurity. A few surprises in here. Includes Boris Sprinkler semi-official late entry.
Jim O'Rourke - Scend
Swirlies - What to do about them
Cesária Évora - Miss Perfumado
Barry Adamson - Soul Murder

I think you'll like the next one.
27 - Brutal Truth - Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses
Not heard of this one. Grindcore thing. All the metal fans I knew at the time were too soft for this sort of thing, but I recon this is the way to groove like it's 92.

26 - Ice Cube - The Predator
Is this too low for such a big name? Or was he past his best? I don't know, I need a hip hop adviser on my team. Apply online.

25 - Beastie Boys - Check Your Head
Again this seems low. Maybe doesn't bode well for the strength of the hip hop vote.

I'm genuinely amazed that none of the albums I voted for are in this list and that at least one other person must have voted for all of them. There are at least four which I fully expected to be the only one including in a list.
Will be interested to see who else voted for
The Dead C and Morton Feldman
As yours were all joint they don't count as no.1 spots, more 5.5 spots so I didn't include them in the lonely no.1's. But I won't spoil which of yours got other votes, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by one of them.

Two years in a row I think. Sorry belboid.
I'm more shocked by the lonely Tori Amos vote tbh.
21 - The Jesus and Mary Chain - Honey's Dead
Hey DJ! Stick on some songs about death, the shoegaze crew are looking left out.

19 - London Sinfonietta/David Zinman (con)/Dawn Upshaw (sop) - Henryk Mikołaj Górecki - Symphony No. 3
Is this the first time an orchestral piece has made the top 20? Anyway, this is a classic performance of a work that made Górecki's name with the broader public. Spiritual minimalism.
