I have spoken with my masters in $%*&. The whole 'Lonely Number One's' list might be bollocks. ie, definitely is in other places too. A mere side tab tho, that had been cast aside. I'll have a looks for what the proper ones should be

not for long
Nice one belboid. Surprised to see Slowdive at no. 1. I had it in my list but not high. Didn't do it for me like the last one...

Giant in Pastyland now
I've tried listening to so many of these and they just sound, bland? Went back to the other threads on this and most at least had some hook or something that was interesting even if not in my usual genres so its not that. I found myself fast forwarding and wondering when anything changed in the track. Some were even bands I knew lately but it was basically background music in a hotel lobby or seemed liked it belonged in some new trainspotting film where someone accidentally overdoses on fent. Where is the excitement?
A few were like OK but not what I would choose to listen to given the choice. Am I old? Barely 40 and I feel too young and presumably too old at the same time lol.

A crazy bulbous punchbag of sound
You forgot Budgie X Jacknife Lee! I gave it a listen and it was good, except it could've done with less Bobby Gillespie. The whole aesthetic of the album screamed 1992 to me for some reason.
I completely forgot to vote for this. Love Lindstrøm.
I gave the Slowdive a listen and it was pleasant enough for a bit, but then it started sounding a bit like Coldplay and once that thought had hit me I had to turn it off.

\......👁&👁......./
It would of been higher but with only 4 tracks I think it's pushing the definition of "album" a bit.
Hollis
bloody furious
Excellent! Thanks for that... lots of stuff to listen to.
I didn't even vote for the Slowdive album...'cause I don't think I've listened to the whole thing.
My list was short and sweet:

I went with...
AC Soul Symphony - Metamorphosis
Jessie Ware - That! Feels Good!
Say She She - Silver
Alison Goldfrapp - The Love Invention
Avalon Emerson & the Charm
Death and Vanilla - Flicker
Karen y los Remedios - Silencio
Subjects - Evolution
Matrixxman - Dust World
Le Couleur - Comme Dans Un Penthouse
Reuben Vaun Smith - Da Cuckoo Yaya
Irina Mancini - Undo the Blue
Derek Carr - Archive
Witch - Zango
ACR - 1982
DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - Destiny
De Lux - Love is Hard Work
ONIPA - Off the Grid
Randolph & Mortimer - The Incomplete Truth
Sofia Kourtesis - Madres
Orchestra Gold - Medicine
Maara - The Ancient Truth
Zanias - Chrysalis
Jalen Ngonda - Come Around and Love Me
Vince Watson - Another Moment in Time
And I'm gonna give some more love to the AC Soul Symphony album that I put at the top as it's been criminally overlooked just about everywhere - I've not seen it reviewed, I've not seen it in shops (I had to order it from Bandcamp), I've not heard anyone else mention it anywhere. And it's incredible. Dave Lee (aka Joey Negro and a thousand other aliases) has been doing his disco thing for three decades and while he's been good, he's usually been one or two steps away from hitting bullseye for my musical tastes. Until this. I guess people thought 'oh, Dave's got another record out' and moved on. But it's incredible. A full 20 piece disco orchestra recording 70s disco (new tracks and a few covers) the old fashioned way. I've been playing and playing this and... did I mention it's incredible?

The list I submitted was:
Protomartyr - Formal Growth in the Desert
Wednesday - Rat Saw God
Boygenius - The Record
Mandy Indiana - i’ve seen a way
Death & Vanilla - Flicker
New Pornographers - Continue as a Guest
White Poppy - Sound of Blue
Home Front - Games of Power
Bruise Control - Useless for Something
Fucked Up - One Day
Then I realised I'd forgotten to include Algiers - Shook, so I messaged belboid but he said that it didn't make any difference cos no-one else had voted for it. Extrapolating from this sample size, statistics tells us that everyone else also meant to include Algiers on their lists but forgot to, so I reckon once that's taken into account Algiers easily take the top spot. Congratulations to Algiers on their win!
Will have to listen to some more of these, I'd probably have ended up voting for the Goldfrapp and Jessie Ware albums if I'd remembered about them, and may or may not have ended up voting for the Polachek and Iqbal if I'd listened to them enough times to have a firmer opinion on whether I like them or not. Just worked out that all of my top five made it in, that's a reputable showing.
