Fuck me there's some moaning going on. If you want to see a list of the 50 best albums of 2006 that you agree with 100%, then write it yourself.

Without any kind of weighting, this is always going to be skewed like this. I mean, I barely bought 10 new albums last year (I didn't vote either) but if I had voted it would basically have been everything that I'd bought (assuming I didn't buy any dogshit recordings by accident). Gnarls Barkley ended pretty high up so let's say for arguments sake that 15 people voted for St Elsewhere. Of that 15 maybe 3 thought it was excellent, the rest thought it was good/fun/whatever. Those 12 people then entered it into their top ten of 2006 alongside some albums they really REALLY loved. Someone could feasibly have included Gnarls and Trentemoller on their list, knowing full well that they enjoyed Trentemoller's offering infinitely more and yet, the 2 votes count exactly the same amount towards the final results.
