Sorry about the slight delay posting the results - I was going to do it yesterday evening but ended up binge-watching Wolf Hall and finishing the port instead. Thank you all, again, to everyone who took time to think about and post their list for this year. I only had to deal with a couple of non-list posts, the biggest formatting problem was accidentally re-importing a list quoted in a post reminding another poster about correct formatting, and I can't quite believe it's the 18th time I've done this! I've posted the whole list here - there were 265 albums voted for in all (265 last year, 290 the year before). If enough people want to query the results or look at the raw data, then I'll upload the spreadsheet. I usually miss some near-duplicates or votes where someone got the artist and the title the wrong way round, so please feel free to point out any inconsistencies if it affects anything in the top 50. Just for reference (I always look them up when I post the results), you can find results from previous years and decades by using the albumsoftheyear or albumsdecade tags. So, here are the results! A 1st place vote scored 10 points, 2nd place 9, down to 10th place scoring 1 point. Rank - Artist - Album [Total number of votes] [Total points] 1 - Black Country New Road - Ants From Up There [7] [58] 2 - Black Midi - Hellfire [5] [46] 3 - Nilüfer Yanya - Painless [5] [35] 4 - Bob Vylan - Bob Vylan Presents The Price Of Life [4] [34] 5 - Machine Head - Of Kingdom and Crown [4] [25] 6 - Angel Olsen - Big Time [3] [24] 7 - Slipknot - The End, So Far [3] [21] 7 - Ghost - Impera [3] [21] 9 - Arctic Monkeys - The Car [2] [20] 9 - Alvvays - Blue Rev [3] [20] 9 - Wet Leg - Wet Leg [5] [20] 9 - Chat Pile - God's Country [3] [20] 13 - Plaid - Feorm Falorx [2] [19] 13 - Weyes Blood - And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow [2] [19] 13 - Rammstein - Zeit [3] [19] 16 - Taylor Swift - Midnights [2] [18] 16 - Fontaines D.C. - Skinty Fia [3] [18] 16 - Makaya McCraven - In These Times [3] [18] 19 - Plains - I Walked With You A Ways [2] [17] 19 - Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - When The Lights Go [2] [17] 21 - Muse - Will of the People [2] [16] 21 - Kid Kapichi - Here’s What You Could Have Won [2] [16] 21 - Ethel Cain - Preacher's Daughter [2] [16] 21 - Yard Act - The Overload [3] [16] 21 - Soccer Mommy - Sometimes, Forever [3] [16] 21 - Soichi Terada - Asakusa Light [2] [16] 27 - Weezer - SZNZ [2] [15] 28 - Spiritualized - Everything Was Beautiful [2] [14] 28 - Paddy Thorne - Lost Cause, Pt. 2 [2] [14] 28 - Denzel Curry - Melt My Eyez See Your Future [2] [14] 28 - Kelly Lee Owens - LP.8 [3] [14] 32 - Röyksopp - Profound Mysteries [2] [13] 32 - PUP - THE UNRAVELLING OF PUPTHEBAND [2] [13] 32 - Martha - Please Don’t Take Me Back [2] [13] 32 - Confidence Man - Tilt [2] [13] 32 - Au Suisse - Au Suisse [2] [13] 32 - Harry Styles - Harry's House [2] [13] 32 - Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan - Districts, Roads, Open Space [2] [13] 32 - Horsegirl - Versions of Modern Performance [2] [13] 40 - PVA - Blush [2] [12] 40 - Mitski - Laurel Hell [4] [12] 40 - Danger Mouse & Black Thought - Cheat Codes [2] [12] 43 - Kendrick Lamar - Mr Morale & The Big Steppers [2] [11] 44 - Bungle - Forms EP [1] [10] 44 - Lorna Shore - Pain Remains [1] [10] 44 - Smashing Pumpkins - Atum (Act 1) [1] [10] 44 - Florence + the Machine - Dance Fever [1] [10] 44 - Mall - Time Vehicle Earth [1] [10] 44 - Fort Romeau - Beings of Light [2] [10] 44 - Caterina Barbieri - Spirit Exit [1] [10] 44 - Gwenno - Tresor [3] [10] 44 - Little Simz - NO THANK YOU [2] [10] 44 - Abduction - Black Blood [1] [10] 44 - Malevolence - Malicious Intent [1] [10] 44 - Viagra Boys - Cave World [2] [10] 44 - Big Moon - Here is Everything [1] [10] 44 - Bloodywood - Rakshak [2] [10] 44 - Dubstar - Two [1] [10] 44 - Sobs - Air Guitar [1] [10] 44 - Ron Trent presents Warm - What do the stars say to you [1] [10] 44 - Sound Synthesis - Hum of Human Dreams [1] [10] 44 - Ellie Dixon - Crikey!

This is a companion thread to https://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/325265-best-new-music-2022/ - if you've already posted there and would like your favourites to be part of the compiled list, please post your results here - feel free to list up to 10 albums - in this format: Position - Artist - Album for example, 01 - Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - When The Lights Go 02 - PVA - Blush 03 - Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan - Districts, Roads, Open Space PLEASE DON'T POST ANY OPINIONS OR RESPONSES TO OTHER FORUMITES' CHOICES IN THIS THREAD - you can do that in https://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/325265-best-new-music-2022/ The spaces and hyphens between position, artist and album are really important as it means that I can import the text straight into Excel without having to piss about with reformatting, and also I can reuse the 2008/2009/2010/2011/2012/2013/2014/2015/2016/2017/2018/2019/2020/2021 spreadsheet. I'll leave this thread running until the end of 31 December. You can edit your list as much as you like - I won't compile them until I close the thread. If you have any questions then PM me - if the answer is useful to others I'll add it to this post, below. Q - Are reissues allowed? A - As long as the reissue date is in 2022, yes. Q - Are EPs allowed? A - Yes.

Thank you all, again, to everyone who took time to think about and post their list for this year. I only had to send 7 DMs about non-list posts, the formatting errors were no more egregious than usual, and it's still such a pleasure and privilege to be able to do this for the 17th time 🙂 I've posted the whole list here - there were 265 albums voted for in all (290 last year, 315 the year before). If enough people want to query the results or look at the raw data, then I'll upload the spreadsheet. I usually miss some near-duplicates or votes where someone got the artist and the title the wrong way round, so please feel free to point out any inconsistencies if it affects anything in the top 50. Just for reference (I always look them up when I post the results), you can find results from previous years and decades by using the albumsoftheyear or albumsdecade tags. So, here are the results! A 1st place vote scored 10 points, 2nd place 9, down to 10th place scoring 1 point.

This is a companion thread to https://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/319818-best-new-music-2021/ - if you've already posted there and would like your favourites to be part of the compiled list, please post your results here - feel free to list up to 10 albums - in this format: Position - Artist - Album for example, 01 - Hannah Peel - Fir Wave 02 - John Grant - Boy From Michigan 03 - Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan - People & Industry PLEASE DON'T POST ANY OPINIONS OR RESPONSES TO OTHER FORUMITES' CHOICES IN THIS THREAD - you can do that in https://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/319818-best-new-music-2021/ The spaces and hyphens between position, artist and album are really important as it means that I can import the text straight into Excel without having to piss about with reformatting, and also I can reuse the 2008/2009/2010/2011/2012/2013/2014/2015/2016/2017/2018/2019/2020 spreadsheet. I'll leave this thread running until the end of 31 December. You can edit your list as much as you like - I won't compile them until I close the thread. If you have any questions then PM me - if the answer is useful to others I'll add it to this post, below. Q - Are reissues allowed? A - As long as the reissue date is in 2021, yes. Q - Are EPs allowed? A - Yes.

Thank you all, again, to everyone who took time to think about and post their list for this year. This is the 16th year in a row of doing this, and you've never let me down - at least one of you did something so grotesque and horrible with their formatting that I needed to re-do the whole thing. I've posted the whole list here - there were 290 albums voted for in all (315 last year, 283 the year before). If enough people want to query the results or look at the raw data, then I'll upload the spreadsheet. I usually miss some near-duplicates or votes where someone got the artist and the title the wrong way round, so please feel free to point out any inconsistencies if it affects anything in the top 50. Just for reference (I always look them up when I post the results), you can find results from previous years and decades by using the albumsoftheyear or albumsdecade tags. So, here are the results! A 1st place vote scored 10 points, 2nd place 9, down to 10th place scoring 1 point.

This is a companion thread to https://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/314706-best-new-music-2020/ - if you've already posted there and would like your favourites to be part of the compiled list, please post your results here - feel free to list up to 10 albums - in this format: Position - Artist - Album for example, 01 - iDKHOW - Razzmatazz 02 - Kelly Lee Owens - Inner Song 03 - Marie Davidson & L'Oeil Nu - Renegade Breakdown PLEASE DON'T POST ANY OPINIONS OR RESPONSES TO OTHER FORUMITES' CHOICES IN THIS THREAD - you can do that in https://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/314706-best-new-music-2020/ The spaces and hyphens between position, artist and album are really important as it means that I can import the text straight into Excel without having to piss about with reformatting, and also I can reuse the 2008/2009/2010/2011/2012/2013/2014/2015/2016/2017/2018/2019 spreadsheet ;-) . I'll leave this thread running until the end of 31 December. You can edit your list as much as you like - I won't compile them until I close the thread. If you have any questions then PM me - if the answer is useful to others I'll add it to this post, below. Q - Are reissues allowed? A - As long as the reissue date is in 2020, yes. Q - Are EPs allowed? A - Yes.

Thank you all, again, to everyone who took time to think about and post their list for this year. This is the 15th year in a row of doing this, and I wonder sometimes if, in decades to come, I shall still be waging a passive-aggressive war of attrition with the usual suspects, who never quite manage to format their lists properly. I've posted the whole list here - there were 315 albums voted for in all, which I think is the most since I've been running the poll (283 last year, 286 the year before). If enough people want to query the results or look at the raw data, then I'll upload the spreadsheet. I usually miss some near-duplicates or votes where someone got the artist and the title the wrong way round, so please feel free to point out any inconsistencies if it affects anything in the top 50. Just for reference (I always look them up when I post the results), you can find results from previous years by using the albumsoftheyear tag. As it's the beginning of a new decade, shall I run a Best Albums of the 2010s poll during January? The results of the decades polls from 2010 are here: 2000s - https://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/220935-rllmuks-albums-of-the-decade/ 1990s - https://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/221848-rllmuks-favourite-albums-of-the-90s-results/ 1980s - https://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/223576-rllmuks-favourite-80s-albums-results/ 1970s - https://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/225001-rllmuks-favourite-70s-albums/ So, here are the results! A 1st place vote scored 10 points, 2nd place 9, down to 10th place scoring 1 point.

This is a companion thread to https://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/308946-best-new-music-2019/ - if you've already posted there and would like your favourites to be part of the compiled list, please post your results here - feel free to list up to 10 albums - in this format: Position - Artist - Album for example, 01 - Matt Morton - Apollo 11 OST 02 - Carla dal Forno - Look Up Sharp 03 - Billie Eilish - When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? PLEASE DON'T POST ANY OPINIONS OR RESPONSES - OR NEGS - TO OTHER FORUMITES' CHOICES IN THIS THREAD - you can do that in https://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/308946-best-new-music-2019/ The spaces and hyphens between position, artist and album are really important as it means that I can import the text straight into Excel without having to piss about with reformatting, and also I can reuse the 2008/2009/2010/2011/2012/2013/2014/2015/2016/2017/2018 spreadsheet ;-) . I'll leave this thread running until the end of 31 December. You can edit your list as much as you like - I won't compile them until I close the thread. If you have any questions then PM me - if the answer is useful to others I'll add it to this post, below. Q - Are reissues allowed? A - As long as the reissue date is in 2019, yes. Q - Are EPs allowed? A - Yes.

Thank you all, again, to everyone who took time to think about and post their list for this year. This is the 14th year in a row of doing this, and the list-formatting crimes have dwindled to the point where they cause only the most imperceptible of eyerolls. There was one comment about perhaps placing a sticky for the poll in OT in future. I'm not sure about this - I quite like the fact that the poll is a self-selecting group drawn only from the Music folder. Remember the bad old days, when people thought it was somehow acceptable to vote for Coldplay? The sample size is large enough to produce at least 20 new albums I would be interested in listening to - what does everyone think? I've posted the whole list here - there were 283 albums voted for in all (286 last year, 273 the year before). If enough people want to query the results or look at the raw data, then I'll upload the spreadsheet. I usually miss some near-duplicates or votes where someone got the artist and the title the wrong way round, so please feel free to point out any inconsistencies if it affects anything in the top 50. Just for reference (I always look them up when I post the results), you can find results from previous years by using the albumsoftheyear tag. So, here are the results! A 1st place vote scored 10 points, 2nd place 9, down to 10th place scoring 1 point. Rank - Artist - Album [Total number of votes] [Total points] 1 - IDLES - Joy as an Act of Resistance [5] [34] 2 - Daniel Avery - Song For Alpha [4] [33] 3 - Jon Hopkins - Singularity [6] [31] 4 - Low - Double Negative [4] [30] 4 - Snail Mail - Lush [4] [30] 6 - Daughters - You Won’t Get What You Want [4] [25] 7 - Skee Mask - Compro [4] [24] 8 - Parquet Courts - Wide Awaaaaake!

Thanks, as always, to everyone who took time to think about and post their list for this year. I was going to do this tomorrow, but the children didn't want to see The Last Jedi for a fourth time, so you're in luck. This is the 13th year in a row of doing this, and it's been as great a pleasure as ever, with hardly any list-formatting crimes and no negs in the thread this time - perhaps an early indicator that the global spread of populist discontent is on the wane. So, here are the results! A 1st place vote scored 10 points, 2nd place 9, down to 10th place scoring 1 point. The Excel macro would have removed any votes for Ed Sheeran, reported the poster to the mods, and contacted police and social services, but fortunately that was not necessary. I've posted the whole list here - there were 286 albums voted for in all (273 last year, 294 the year before). If enough people want to query the results or look at the raw data, then I'll upload the spreadsheet. I usually miss some near-duplicates or votes where someone got the artist and the title the wrong way round, so please feel free to point out any inconsistencies if it affects anything in the top 50. Just for reference (I always look them up when I post the results), you can find results from previous years by using the albumsoftheyear tag.

Thanks, as always, to everyone who took time to think about and post their list for this year. I'd have finished earlier, but the children wanted to see Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them again. This is the 12th year in a row of doing this, and it's been a great pleasure, with only a small number of list-formatting criminals and, shockingly, A NEG IN THE THREAD, which is merely a manifestation of the great anger and discontentment in society as a whole, and the incipient collapse of Western civilisation, and thus only to be expected. I'm really looking forward to catching up on some new music as I seem to have spent more time rebuying all my favourite albums on vinyl listening to old stuff last year. So, here are the results! A 1st place vote scored 10 points, 2nd place 9, down to 10th place scoring 1 point. I've posted the whole list here - there were 273 albums voted for in all (294 last year, 237 the year before). If enough people want to query the results or look at the raw data, then I'll upload the spreadsheet. I usually miss some near-duplicates or votes where someone got the artist and the title the wrong way round, so please feel free to point out any inconsistencies if it affects anything in the top 50. Just for reference (I always look them up when I post the results), you can find results from previous years by using the albumsoftheyear tag.

This is a companion thread to http://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/290740-best-new-music-of-2016/ - if you've already posted there and would like your favourites to be part of the compiled list, please post your results here - feel free to list up to 10 albums - in this format: Position - Artist - Album for example, 01 - Kuedo - Slow Knife 02 - David Bowie - Blackstar 03 - Metronomy - Summer 08 PLEASE DON'T POST ANY OPINIONS OR RESPONSES TO OTHER FORUMITES' CHOICES IN THIS THREAD - you can do that in http://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/290740-best-new-music-of-2016/ The spaces and hyphens between position, artist and album are really important as it means that I can import the text straight into Excel without having to piss about with reformatting, and also I can reuse the 2008/2009/2010/2011/2012/2013/2014/2015 spreadsheet ;-) . I'll leave this thread running until the end of 31 December. You can edit your list as much as you like - I won't compile them until I close the thread. If you have any questions then PM me - if the answer is useful to others I'll add it to this post, below. Q - Are reissues allowed? A - As long as the reissue date is in 2016, yes. Q - Are EPs allowed? A - Yes.

Might as well get it going. Chairlift - Moth https://open.spotify.com/album/4j7QJ7DKZ0cBsNuD7GmJFx Savages - Adore Life https://open.spotify.com/album/6c3UkztmOmW2GtunSNN3NZ

Thanks, as always, to everyone who took time to think about and post their list for this year. I gave up an opportunity to go and see The Force Awakens for the fifth time to do this, I'll have you know. This is the 11th year in a row of doing this, and it's been a pleasure, apart from the occasional eyeroll at list-formatting offences - I'm looking forward to catching up on some new music. So, here are the results! A 1st place vote scored 10 points, 2nd place 9, down to 10th place scoring 1 point. I've posted the whole list here - there were 294 albums voted for in all (237 last year). If enough people want to query the results or look at the raw data, then I'll upload the spreadsheet. I usually miss some near-duplicates or votes where someone got the artist and the title the wrong way round, so please feel free to point out any inconsistencies if it affects anything in the top 50. Just for reference (I always look them up when I post the results), you can find results from previous years by using the albumsoftheyear tag. Anyway, here we go… (4 January edit - duplicates for Florence And The Machine, Floating Points and Father John Misty merged, total number of albums changed from 297 to 294) Rank - Artist - Album [Total number of votes] [Total points] 1 - Grimes - Art Angels [9] [57] 2 - Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly [6] [54] 3 - Chvrches - Every Open Eye [5] [46] 4 - Clutch - Psychic Warfare [4] [38] 5 - Julia Holter - Have You In My Wilderness [5] [37] 6 - Jamie XX - In Colour [7] [35] 6 - Floating Points - Elaenia [5] [35] 8 - Sleater-Kinney - No Cities To Love [5] [32] 9 - Aphex Twin - Soundcloud Dump [3] [30] 9 - Tame Impala - Currents [6] [30] 11 - Baroness - Purple [4] [29] 12 - Marina and the Diamonds - Froot [3] [27] 13 - Faith No More - Sol Invictus [3] [25] 13 - Ghost - Meliora [3] [25] 15 - Prodigy - Day Is My Enemy [4] [24] 16 - Public Service Broadcasting - Race for Space [3] [23] 17 - Joanna Newsom - Divers [4] [21] 18 - Chemical Brothers - Born in the Echoes [3] [20] 18 - New Order - Music Complete [3] [20] 18 - Sufjan Stevens - Carrie And Lowell [2] [20] 21 - Carpenter Brut - Trilogy (EP III) [3] [19] 21 - Blur - magic whip [3] [19] 23 - Belle and Sebastian - Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance [2] [18] 23 - Bjork - Vulnicura [2] [18] 25 - Sexwitch - Sexwitch [3] [17] 25 - Prurient - Frozen Niagara Falls [3] [17] 25 - Max Richter - Sleep/From Sleep [3] [17] 25 - Squarepusher - Damogen Furies [2] [17] 25 - Roisin Murphy - Hairless Toys [2] [17] 25 - Father John Misty - I love you, Honeybear [2] [17] 25 - Internet - Ego Death [2] [17] 32 - John Carpenter - Lost Themes [2] [16] 32 - Slaves - Are You Satisfied?

This is a companion thread to http://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/287754-best-releases-of-2015-so-far/- if you've already posted there and would like your favourites to be part of the compiled list, please post your results here - feel free to list up to 10 albums - in this format: Position - Artist - Album for example, 01 - Helena Hauff - Discreet Desires 02 - Lana Del Rey - Honeymoon 03 - Shamir - Ratchet PLEASE DON'T POST ANY OPINIONS OR RESPONSES TO OTHER FORUMITES' CHOICES IN THIS THREAD - you can do that in http://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/287754-best-releases-of-2015-so-far/ The spaces and hyphens between position, artist and album are really important as it means that I can import the text straight into Excel without having to piss about with reformatting, and also I can reuse the 2008/2009/2010/2011/2012/2013/2014 spreadsheet ;-) . I'll leave this thread running until the end of 31 December. You can edit your list as much as you like - I won't compile them until I close the thread. If you have any questions then PM me - if the answer is useful to others I'll add it to this post, below. Q - Are reissues allowed? A - As long as the reissue date is in 2015, yes. Q - Are EPs allowed? A - Yes.

Thanks, as always, to everyone who took time to think about and post their list for this year. I think this is the 10th(!) year in a row I've done this, and it's still a pleasure - January is always a great month of listening to music I'd have otherwise overlooked. So, here are the results! A 1st place vote scored 10 points, 2nd place 9, down to 10th place scoring 1 point. I've posted the whole list here - there were 237 albums voted for in all (222 last year). If enough people want to query the results or look at the raw data, then I'll upload the spreadsheet. I usually miss some near-duplicates or votes where someone got the artist and the title the wrong way round, so please feel free to point out any inconsistencies if it affects anything in the top 50. Just for reference (I always look them up when I post the results), you can find results from previous years by using the albumsoftheyear tag. Anyway, here we go… Rank - Artist - Album [Total number of votes] [Total points] 1 - Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels 2 [9] [54] 2 - D'Angelo - Black Messiah [6] [46] 3 - Swans - To Be Kind [6] [45] 4 - Aphex Twin - Syro [6] [42] 5 - St Vincent - St Vincent [6] [32] 6 - Sun Kil Moon - Benji [5] [29] 7 - Flying Lotus - You're Dead!

This is a companion thread to http://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/282160-rllmuks-favourite-albums-of-2014-discussion-thread/- if you've already posted there and would like your favourites to be part of the compiled list, please post your results here - feel free to list up to 10 albums - in this format: Position - Artist - Album for example, 01 - Mica Levi - Under The Skin OST 02 - Aphex Twin - Syro 03 - St. Vincent - St. Vincent PLEASE DON'T POST ANY OPINIONS OR RESPONSES TO OTHER FORUMITES' CHOICES IN THIS THREAD - you can do that in http://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/282160-rllmuks-favourite-albums-of-2014-discussion-thread/ The spaces and hyphens between position, artist and album are really important as it means that I can import the text straight into Excel without having to piss about with reformatting, and also I can reuse the 2008/2009/2010/2011/2012/2013 spreadsheet ;-) . I'll leave this thread running until the end of 31 December. You can edit your list as much as you like - I won't compile them until I close the thread. If you have any questions then PM me - if the answer is useful to others I'll add it to this post, below. Q - Are reissues allowed? A - As long as the reissue date is in 2014, yes. Q - Are EPs allowed? A - Yes.

Thanks, as always, to everyone who took time to think about and post their list for this year. It was really, really close for first place this time… So, here are the results! A 1st place vote scored 10 points, 2nd place 9, down to 10th place scoring 1 point. I've posted the whole list here - there were 222 albums voted for in all (287 last year). If enough people want to query the results or look at the raw data, then I'll upload the spreadsheet. I usually miss some near-duplicates or votes where someone got the artist and the title the wrong way round, so please feel free to point out any inconsistencies if it affects anything in the top 50. Just for reference (I always look them up when I post the results), you can find results from previous years by using the albumsoftheyear tag. Anyway, here we go… [EDIT 6/1 - Duplicates of Yeezus combined, moving it up to third place] Rank - Artist - Album [Total points] [Total number of votes] 1 - Boards Of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest [78] [12] 2 -

Thanks, as always to everyone who took time to think about and post their list for this year. It's always a pleasure to do this, and my imagined utopia of a full set of properly formatted lists grows ever closer Here are the results! A 1st place vote scored 10 points, 2nd place 9, down to 10th place scoring 1 point. I've posted the whole list here - there were 287 albums voted for in all (249 last year). If enough people want to query the results or look at the raw data, then I'll upload the spreadsheet. I usually miss some near-duplicates or votes where someone got the artist and the title the wrong way round, so please feel free to point out any inconsistencies if it affects anything in the top 50. Just for reference (I always look them up when I post the results), you can find results from previous years by using the albumsoftheyear tag.

This is a companion thread to http://www.rllmukfor...r-2012-edition/ - if you've already posted there and would like your favourites to be part of the compiled list, please post your results here - feel free to list up to 10 albums - in this format: Position - Artist - Album for example, 01 - Beach House - Bloom 02 - Chromatics - Kill For Love 03 - Robert Hood - Motor Nighttime World Vol 3 PLEASE DON'T POST ANY OPINIONS OR RESPONSES TO OTHER FORUMITES' CHOICES IN THIS THREAD - you can do that in http://www.rllmukfor...r-2012-edition/ The spaces and hyphens between position, artist and album are really important as it means that I can import the text straight into Excel without having to piss about with reformatting, and also I can reuse the 2008/2009/2010/2011 spreadsheet ;-) . I'll leave this thread running until the end of 31 December. You can edit your list as much as you like - I won't compile them until I close the thread. If you have any questions then PM me - if the answer is useful to others I'll add it to this post, below. Q - Are reissues allowed? A - As long as the reissue date is in 2012, yes. Q - Are EPs allowed? A - Yes.

Again, thanks to everyone who took time to think about and post their list for this year. It's always a pleasure to do this, and nearly all of them were perfectly formatted this time! Here are the results! A 1st place vote scored 10 points, 2nd place 9, down to 10th place scoring 1 point. I've posted the whole list here - there were 249 albums voted for in all (277 last year). If enough people want to query the results or look at the raw data, then I'll upload the spreadsheet. I usually miss some near-duplicates or votes where someone got the artist and the title the wrong way round, so please feel free to point out any inconsistencies if it affects anything in the top 50. Just for reference (I always look them up when I post the results), here are some results from previous years: 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 1990s 1980s 1970s Rank - Artist - Album [Total points] [Total number of votes] 1 - M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming [65] [9] 2 - Radiohead - King of Limbs [54] [7] 2 - SBTRKT - SBTRKT [54] [7] 4 - PJ Harvey - Let England Shake [53] [7] 5 - Metronomy - English Riviera [44] [6] 6 - Bon Iver - Bon Iver [36] [6] 7 - Horrors - Skying [30] [4] 8 - Kuedo - Severant [29] [5] 8 - Blanck Mass - Blanck Mass [29] [4] 10 - Strokes - Angles [28] [4] 10 - Bjork - Biophilia [28] [3] 12 - Jay Z & Kanye West - Watch The Throne [27] [4] 13 - Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica [25] [3] 14 - Rustie - Glass Swords [24] [4] 14 - TV On The Radio - Nine Types of Light [24] [3] 16 - Mastodon - Hunter [22] [4] 16 - Grouper - A I A : Alien Observer [22] [3] 18 - James Blake - James Blake [21] [5] 18 - Foo Fighters - Wasting Light [21] [4] 18 - Mogwai - Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will [21] [3] 21 - WU LYF - Go Tell Fire To The Mountain [20] [3] 21 - Caretaker - An Empty Bliss Beyond This World [20] [2] 21 - Fucked Up - David Comes to Life [20] [2] 24 - Taake - Noregs Vaapen [19] [2] 25 - Naked And The Famous - Passive Me, Aggressive You [18] [4] 26 - Earth - Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light 1 [17] [3] 26 - Advisory Circle - As The Crow Flies [17] [2] 26 - Foster The People - Torches [17] [2] 29 - Tom Waits - Bad As Me [16] [3] 29 - Girls - Father, Son, Holy Ghost [16] [2] 29 - John Maus - We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves [16] [2] 29 - Steve Moore - Primitive Neural Pathways [16] [2] 29 - Zomby - Dedication [16] [2] 34 - Washed Out - Within and Without [15] [3] 34 - Colin Stetson - New History Warfare Vol 2: Judges [15] [2] 34 - Lykke Li - Wounded Rhymes [15] [2] 37 - Vaccines - What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?

This is a companion thread to http://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?showtopic=252391 - if you've already posted there and would like your favourites to be part of the compiled list, please post your results here - feel free to list up to 10 albums - in this format: Position - Artist - Album for example, 01 - Kuedo - Severant 02 - Metronomy - The English Riviera 03 - Surgeon - Breaking The Frame PLEASE DON'T POST ANY OPINIONS OR RESPONSES TO OTHER FORUMITES' CHOICES IN THIS THREAD - you can do that in http://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?showtopic=252391. The spaces and hyphens between position, artist and album are really important as it means that I can import the text straight into Excel without having to piss about with reformatting, and also I can reuse the 2008/2009/2010 spreadsheet ;-) . I'll leave this thread running until the end of 30 December. You can edit your list as much as you like - I won't compile them until I close the thread. If you have any questions then PM me - if the answer is useful to others I'll add it to this post, below. Q - Are reissues allowed? A - As long as the reissue date is in 2011, yes.
