Album of 1991 (Part III) - Bob, Cussie, Marie, Sniffer to VOTE

[Muppet the Cat]

Now is it 2020 again or back to 1971 ?

I'd guess 2020, as only 6/7 (inc. Ges) put nominations forward in the separate 2020 album of the year thread poll

A comfortable victory for the Texan boys in the end, Midlake appear to have attracted two or three new fans with the event of the 2010 poll.

This poll was certainly an eye-opener for me personally as I voted for two albums I hadn't heard previously & also enjoyed a couple of others that just missed the cut.

[1964white]

I'm with Cat on the next poll as he quite rightly points out there'll probably be more participants this time, also maintaining the polls remain in sequence we'll go with 2020 before we step back into the 70's again.

ALBUM OF 2020

[Haighy]

AC-DC Power up

[Sara]

It got no love last time, but it's still my favourite album of the year:

Hedvig Mollestad - Ekhidna

[The Subhuman]

We hd multiple nominations last time, I'd imagine the AOTY won't make the cut this time.

Sevdaliza 'Shabrang' - Another who struggled last time out

[Durly]

OK, on the proviso that it didn't get a nomination last time when I did the end of year poll and presuming that someone will nominate Black Is......I'll go with:

SAULT - Untitled (Rise)

[Muppet the Cat]

The Budos Band 'Long In The Tooth'

[Durly]

The Budos Band 'Long In The Tooth'

This was a proper good find last time around.

[Mountain]

We in Ireland have inflicted some truly awful music on the world, boybands like Westlife and Boyzone, or Glen Hansard, Gavin James and Hozier, all as interesting as 1 week old lettuce. And then there was the "hang our heads in shame" dross like B*witched and the Corrs.

At least there's Roisin Murphy, formerly of Moloko. Brilliant, beautiful and bewitching...I nominate
Roisin Machine

[1964white]

ALBUM OF 2020

AC-DC 'Power up' Haighy
Hedvig Mollestad 'Ekhidna' Sara
Sevdaliza 'Shabrang' Faaip
SAULT - Untitled (Rise) Durly
The Budos Band 'Long In The Tooth' Cat
Roisin Murphy 'Roisin Machine' Mountain

[1964white]

We hd multiple nominations last time, I'd imagine the AOTY won't make the cut this time.

Sevdaliza 'Shabrang' - Another who struggled last time out

I'm surprised with your nomination for this one Faaip

[1964white]

OK, on the proviso that it didn't get a nomination last time when I did the end of year poll and presuming that someone will nominate Black Is......I'll go with:

SAULT - Untitled (Rise)

Thought Faaip would go for 'Black Is' mate

[The Subhuman]

Love Black is but had Sevdaliza made the final that would have been my vote...

[SG90]

Think I'll pass. Didn't really listen to enough music from last year.

[Finnatic]

Think I'll pass. Didn't really listen to enough music from last year.

Same for me

[John in Louisiana]

Steve Earle 'Ghosts of West Virginia'
