the 2006 dirty poll

[matt]

We’ve done this the last few years so if anyone’s interested this year then email me or PM me your top albums of the year in order and I’ll compile the results and then post them over Christmas some time.

You can vote for as many albums as you want but only your top 10 will score toward the poll. And if you can only think of three or even just one favourite then still vote anyway as, as the cliché goes, every vote counts.

And in case any one was interested here were last year’s results:

YES! i'm so excited about this. it is always such a great time of the year... and the results are always super interesting...

i'll have to think about me results something fierce!

[Bargo]

Sent. It was really, really difficult to choose a top 10 this year, I think it's been one of the best in recent memory. Or maybe I've just bought a lot more.

[ceramic'cow]

I actually can't think of ten albums released this year that I've bought. I probably *have* bought ten of them, but I tend to lose track of when albums are released, and I've still got so many holes in my record collection that need filling with old albums that they all start to blur into one.

[Leon]

I've sent my top 8 in

[gambit]

Still working out a couple myself, but it's coming soon...

just ten?
my god. okay.

[patrick]

you could maybe send him 20 and he'd just ignore the last 10,... in reality. ti would be interesting if matt compiled it in terms of the top 1 entries too, ie. if a band got good results because everyone voted for it in position number 10 or a few people voted for it as number 1...

anyhow. i'm quite drunk. i wish i asked this really attractive girl to dance/come home

[dubman]

i am also drunk
only because i was drunk last night and still felt like crap for nearly all the next day
i dont even know what i'm doing here.
i should call my girlfriend but she always sounds so bored when she knows im drunk.
it's like, what, just because you get allergically sick after two heinekins doesnt mean you arent missing out.

but anyway i think he's just counting ten and stocking the rest saying "if only a few of you voted for this band a LITTLE bit higher..."

i remember that happened with m83 in 03 and i was like "who?" and then six months later i was in love.

thanks for all the votes so far - keep 'em coming...

if an album is tied on points i rank them next on whichever album's got the most no 1 votes, or no 2 votes etc, if you know what i mean...
