At least a hundred more people should have voted in this poll than actually did.

I cast the only vote for about seven or eight albums (including the Cure, WTF???).

The other poll I ran (on the Sound Opinions board) only has a fraction of the regular posters that this board has, but it had something like 25 more lists submitted than here.

I'm curious as to why that is.
I wonder if it's because so many of us are so invested in year-end stuff for blogs and print publications that the idea of an ILM poll seems like just another headache or obligation. (Of course, it need not be: I'd already determined my top 10s for Pazz & Jop, so I just quickly filled out the rest of the 20, and sent it off to Dr. Bill.) I mean, I don't really know what the demographic is at SOMB, but I'd wager that posters there may get more excited about sharing their best-of lists on the board, because they haven't already done it anywhere else.

The harpist got lots more press, but I don't find it inherently surprising that a fun, wildly catchy record beat out dungeons and dragons music.

seconded.
i didn't vote cos i was polled out.
erlend oye dj kicks is this year's token dance pick if such a thing exists.
junior boys winning would have been nice. next to talkie walkie it's the album i listened to most last year. they both pretty much soundtracked my summer. (along with 8 trillion house and techno tracks)
xpost, i recently bought that philip jeck album and it's great.
