i thought this would be fun, put all the runner ups together and see who come out on top.

Hounds of Love. Would've tied for 1st if I'd voted in the '85 poll.

Dirty Mind cause it's the best album from that decade.

dirty mind pretty easy for me also though that 3 feet high/technique finishing runnerup to doolittle feels like the wrongest result.

If there's a #2 tie in 82, doesn't that make 1999 the #4?

Dirty Mind, Dare and Technique would all be in my top 10 albums of all time but it's got to be Lexicon Of Love as it's probably my favourite album ever.

maybe the strongest poll in ILM history?

today I'm picking 1999.
