    It would be in my top 10. That's one of those albums I hope people discover because of this poll. We'll do a discussion on the results once it seems like everyone who is going to vote has voted. I am really surprised about some of the current results.

    hehe, then i'll change my vote for kanye's "graduation" to hanson's "the walk." hate to have those guys left out. it's a tough call. but the kanye album does have a few weaker tracks.
