Exasperated, not angry.
Yes, it's that time of year again! Welcome to the twentieth iteration of the Urban75 Album of the Year.
You know the score by now. And, frankly, we all have a pretty good idea of the result too. Well, it's down to two really isnt it?
But who will be this seasons Chelsea (the best of the rest?) and which of the two pre-season favourites will hold the other off? Will the eighties legends beat the team that wins whenever it turns up? It's all to play for and there is no state power determining the outcome here (although I am open to offers).
So, please send me lists - it doesn't matter how long they are, 1 album or 30, they all count. Scoring willl follow the belted formula (I considered knotoid, but it sounded silly).
As per,
Votes cast on this thread will not be included, PM'ed ones only.
I do not promise not to fuck it up.
A reminder of those rules again:
1. You PM me a list of your favourite records that were released prior to December 15 2024. In order, from 1 to whatever number you feel like. SOMETIME BEFORE DECEMBER 15TH.
2. I assign points based on your orders of preference. NOTE: If you simply submit a list, unnumbered, I will assume it is in order of 1 to whatever, unless you tell me different
3. Sometime nearer Christmas I give you a rundown, TOTP style, of the top 30, and you lot bicker, complain, and heckle.
