So the other interest poll got 7 votes and none of them were "no" so I figured that's enough interest and we'll get enough stragglers so bring it up to the bare minimum of 10 ballots we need to do this.
• Send me a list by PM, not in the thread.
• It should contain your Top 25 albums of all time, numbered from 1 – 25. If your lists are not numbered, I will count them as 1 – 25 in the order sent.
• Your #1 will earn 25, #2 earns 24....and #25 will earn 1 point. You all know the drill.
• Once you've voted, you can of course edit your vote by re-sending your ballot to me by PM.
• You can only choose from albums that placed in the Top 50 of our decades polls! So if your favorite album ever didn't make the Top 50 for its decade, you can't put it on your list.
For convenience, here's the results of the other polls:
Deadline to submit a ballot is February 16.
Ballots received:
1. Tommen_Saperstein * 2. Archie *
3. pacinoyes * 4. DaleCooper * 5. themoviesinner *
6. Mattsby *
7. TheAlwaysClassy *
8. Viced *
9. Joaquim *
10. ingmarhepburn *
11. thelistenercanon *
12. cheesecake *
* = counted
As always, feel free to use this thread for FYCs.

I recommend the following six albums to anyone interested in listening to something a bit more challenging, that is quite different to most of the other albums that made the top 50 of the decade lists. All these will probably make my top 10. Also, we don't want a top 50 of all time album list to be dominated by dull and uninspired bands like Radiohead or Nirvana (sorry Joaquim  ). Dead Can Dance - "Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun" (1987)Tiamat - "Wildhoney" (1994)Agalloch - "The Mantle" (2001)Orphaned Land - "Mabool - The Story Of The Three Sons Of Seven" (2004)Rotting Christ - "AEALO" (2010)Summoning - "Old Mornings Dawn" (2013)

Some FYCs Jehtro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden
etcJust a reminder - refer to the first post : You can only choose from albums that placed in the Top 50 of our decades polls! So if your favorite album ever didn't make the Top 50 for its decade, you can't put it on your list.I mean if we're going to do great albums that missed you'd have to suffer through have the pleasure of me praising Big Star's Third and I spent an awful lot of time cursing this board to God AND Satan AND several Voodoo spirits when my fave records missed ............so um expect a cruel vengeance of Biblical (or worse) wrath on you and your houses MAR.........but that's not relevant now. 
Edit - Mistakenly had REM's spectacular Murmur listed here as missing along with Big Star's spectacular Third but Murmur made the 80s list so maybe the wrath won't be quite as bad |

Ah, right, too bad. Then pretty much all of my FYCs are defaulted. Though, with half of my favorites dissapearing I can fit in a some Maiden, so something won! |

So I spent the morning putting together a list for this and then realized it could only be from the previous top 50 lists. Serves me right since I should have been voting for all of these. My bad! My ballot is now sent.
