1st Annual SH Forums Favorite Albums Countdown (As Voted By You) - Voting Thread

The thread was started a few years ago in 2008..I remember there was some problem with poll result.

 

It was pretty comprehensive too, as shame no one bookmarked it.

 

Incomplete ?

 

It was complete at the time, no?

 

Incomplete then.

 

The person who compiled our lists did it did a great job and if we found their thread, we could update it from the date they compiled it. Much easier than compiling results from a thread with over a 1000 replies.

 

Yeah it's a great thread .. But was the outcome of the poll ?

 

Oh ..I see !

Some redundancy with others, some not so much.

 

I wouldn't even know how to begin ranking my favorite music. I just don't look at music that way, but I commend you for taking on such a task. I have been reading lots of the lists and I do find them interesting. We have forum members with very diverse and sophisticated tastes. I'm not surprised.

 

Time for a part 2 , methinks.

 

Can't believe I left this one of my list.

 

Six years later my pecking orders changed.

 

Spinning Aimee Mann's
"whatever ".. Still sounds good.
Mr Harris' evocates Karen Carpenter in a song.

 

I love extensive lists.

 

Just realized this is the big un.
And all the better for it.
