    Bumping once more. I'd love to get a lot more votes than this. As far as I'm concerned, the poll can continue through the end of this month.

    If you want to change votes, you can (especially if it involves removing the Pumpkins from your list ;-)). Just do it as a new post letting me know what you are changing.

    The Yo La Tengo album was released last year. Do you have 4 other votes to go along with Digitalism?

    The three that deserve to be voted.
    Smashing Pumpkins -Zeitgeist
    RadioHead -In Rainbows
    Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero


    There is some other really good stuff out there but I don't think it should be called album of the year.

    Nice to see Bjork and M.I.A. getting a few votes. I thought I'd be the only one voting for those...
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    By the end of the month I will be ready to post my top 5. As of now there are a still quite a few albums that need a listen or two more before I'm ready to finalize the standings!
    "I'll do whatever the song dictates - if it doesn't need a real lead, then I won't do one. But if it does, then I'll fuckin' go off." - Mike

    "Japan is awesome; the fans there knew all the words to all the songs...at least phonetically." - Stone

    "I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version." - EV
