Album of 2021 (Part III) - VOTE NOW

[Rook]

We can, welcome back Rook

Cheers mate.

[The Subhuman]

It's the Champion of Champions poll... shouldn't take long as no nominations

64 may correct me but I think it's pick your favourite 10 from this list and anyone can vote

I should say up to 10, if you can't do 10 then do as many as you can but the top points score comes down. I.E: Pick 10 and it's 10pts down to 1, pick 7 and it's 7 pts down to one, pick one and it scores a point

Mezzanine, for me, followed by Protection and Blue Lines. Agree re Cope... it was about 15th on my list. Black Sabbath was first on... I've loved that since I was ten years old.

Sabbath is miles ahead of anything else on that list for me, although not my favourite Sabbath album.

The Electric Warrior I'd say is T.Rex's best album....and probably the GC Jr is favourite album of his. But, none of the others are imo the top offering from any pick. The Clash and GTER I would only put at their 3rd best for example and the MSP would probably only come in 6th

The two that are more discoveries through the course of the thread are the Soulsavers and the Cory Hanson.

Tbh some on that list I'll never listen to again.

Something majorly wrong with the Sabbath album for me

[1964white]

At least 25 albums to get down to 10 for me.

Only 7 of them receive any votes so far!

[1964white]

Blueneck 'Scars Of The Midwest'
Massive Attack '100th Window'
Blueneck 'Repetitions'
Portishead ‘Portishead’
T.Rex 'Electric Warrior'
Air 'Talkie Walkie'
Siouxsie and the Banshees 'Kaleidoscope'
Julian Cope 'Peggy Suicide'
Flux 'Uncarved Block'
Roxy Music 'For Your Pleasure'

Should be in most top tens, sadly won't be the case!

A classic Roxy Music album.

It's my favourite as it's the first real rock album I got into, so nostalgia plays a part.

There's a lot of things on the list I have no interest in - only one on the list was nominated by me, so that tells a story.

The harmonica?

Ozzy's vocals

D'oh!

I haven't done much better, with only two, or three if you count a tied win.

But then I just pick albums I like, not ones I think will gain alot of points from everyone else and I don't benefit from any
Eurovision-esque block voting pacts.

[The Subhuman]

D'oh!

Yes, not a fan...

So you won't be voting for the best band over the last four decades

Nice one!

I saw them live when they were top-notch around the '71/'72 years, brilliant.

[1964white]

Sabbath is miles ahead of anything else on that list for me, although not my favourite Sabbath album.

I have the first five Sabbath albums, rarely play them to be honest.

'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' is my favourite

My old mate Ges is a massive fan, his favourite band alongside Zepp.

Really !

Paranoid or Master of Reality for me

I already did!
