Fo' real?
I'm extremely suprised.
But, good list everyone. :upyours

[Kevin McF]

the only disc on there that surprises me is the MSP disc

[ewok.online]

I figured ET would be on there, but I didn't think it would take top honors. :lol

[FrigidRoses]

Easy Tiger at # 1? That's pretty bad.

[Rob]

Not a bad list at all. Easy Tiger should have been expected to be #1.

[foggy]

Yeah, I agree. It's a Ryan board and all. It's a pretty good list, I think. Nice that The National made #2.

Thanks for doing the tally, J. :beer

:upyours for sure. Some folks must not have listened to many records this year. It didn't even make my top 10

St. Vincent beat Jens. :banana

[foggy]

St. Vincent beat Jens. :banana

Jens should have been higher. I guess he's too elite for TBY. :pimp

[ewok.online]

:lol

[Tim Simmons]

Not surprising ET is at #1.

The fact that Boxer was just 7 pts behind is.

I should have made it #1 seeing as it was my real #1. :\ oh well.

I am sad that our two votes for APTBS didnt get it into the top 25 :(

[Tim Simmons]

Had you made it a top 5, it would have been.

[Kevin McF]

Had you made it a top 5, it would have been.
If I had it a little longer it probably would have made its way there

Should have not tried to manipulate the list.

[SkortBrun]

8 of my 10 choices made the list. Awesome.

Overall, it seems like a pretty good collection of albums.

[blueone]

I like. :nod

[burgerqueen]

I didn't add him onto my list because I think the rules were against it. I don't technically have the album yet since I couldn't find it near me - I've only heard live stuff online. Pretty sure I'm getting it from my mother in law for Christmas though because I got yelled at when I tried to order it from amazon.

I hope you get it. :upyours If you do, let me know what you think. :)

[Faded Rose]

I'm glad Ryan was top - loyalty in my case more than thinking it was a great album. Only about 3 of my albums made the list....It's a good mix though - no complaints.

Thanks J for working it all out.

[Starlite]

It just missed out - it was #26 with 15 points.

[Sydneyfan]

Overall, a good list I think. Thanks for the work J and thanks everyone who submitted their favourites.

[sipowicz]

My choices weren't really represented, but really, I didn't expect them to be.

Although of Montreal and Jason Isbell were 2 of my favorites, so looks fine to me.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO

[ewok.online]

Tim is not pleased.

[Starlite]

:lol Perhaps I should have left Timmons in ignorant bliss.

J made Timmons meltdown. :lol
