My first draft had a total of 32 albums, but I already have a list of 25, I only need to rank them now, so I will be sending it very soon.

Like with the 60s we have a surprise #2 currently. Well liked album, but not usually seen among Top 3-5 of the decade stuff. We'll see if it holds on to the #2 spot. Currently 5pts ahead of 3rd and 12pts behind 1st.

One last FYC for Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned (I know it's a longshot): They'd never been this funny before and would never be again but on this album they were so great at genuinely thrilling and subversive Punk Rock - they make even great bands like the Pistols and the Clash look a step behind and not getting the joke - and they had great songs too. They don't even look like they would be in the same band, scaring the host, trying not to laugh, the performance is so over the top it literally mocks the whole idea of performance, authenticity, the audience doesn't know what to make of it.

Don't forget those ballots while there's time and a last FYC for the best Neil Young album and one filled with tension and uneasiness throughout. Even the "upbeat" song has an undercurrent of wasting time, cops, dope deals, jail.

That's a wrap on voting. I'll be nice and accept ballots until the presentation Tuesday though since I've already got all the ballots counted, just need to break some ties, but once that gets started I'm not accepting anything.
