I'm confused, do I have to pm you my nomination bluey?

you do, yes. ignore these sillies.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

For the purposes of this poll Radiohead's In Rainbows was released last year. End of discussion. Direct all complaints to the hand.


Some great votes so far too.

HOORAY!!!! smart move bluey, smart move.

 

[narcodollars]

I do like '90's Radiohead, but not many people on my street listen to music like theirs (these days especially). It just struck me as out-of-sync (to see the album thrown out onto the streetcorner).

 

[Augie March]

I need to start catching up with all the albums I've missed this year.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

What I need is a list of every album released this year, coz I'm fucked if I can remember what came out when

 

[N_igma]

Radiohead released an albulm last year? I must really be out of touch with the scene.

 

[boing!]

There's a list on Wiki - here. I'm sure its far from comprehensive, but it's a start.

That lists 'In Rainbows' as released in 2008... Just to confuse things

It's even missed off Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Dig Lazarus Dig! which is a bit of an oversight

 

[boing!]

Yeah, most of the albums on my list aren't on it either. Oh well.

 

[N_igma]

Well stop yapping and start editing, isn't that what wiki is all about?

 

[kained&able]

[bluestreak]

How indeed, dave, how indeed?

It might have been on cd - or in the US.

Won't make no difference here either way!

Pink floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

 

[narcodollars]

Radiohead hasn't been getting as many favorable reviews since that one album they released in 2003. I just collect their '90s EPs and B-sides now.

Pink floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Less joking more voting, wags.

sorry bluestreak


have i told you lately that you cant be the sheriff of london?



ok im gonna vote in a minute.

 

[bluestreak]

I'm already the sheriff of london. I saved Boris Johnson from some very embarrassing political fallout and in return he gave me a badge that proves it.

 

[bluestreak]

[The_Reverend_M]

Thinking about this and looking at what's been released has made me realise just how much good stuff has been released this year that I've listened to maybe a handful of times and never got back round to listening too - I'm RUBBISH!!

Hey, I've got three of the top ten. Maybe I haven't done too bad this year after all.

rough trade's albums of the year http://www.roughtrade.com/site/content.lasso?page=albumsoftheyear08.html

I'm disappointed they didn't put the Women album in there as although it's not officially released til jan 09 they bought stock in on pre-release.

Did Wooden Shjips have an album out this year? Or was that last year? I get confused as sometimes I get promos six months in advance.

Good old Rough Trade - what a bunch of sensitive lovely bunnies they must be to put Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and Vampire Weekend as their top 3. Bless their little cotton socks.

Rock n roll - phew!
