I was happy to see so many that placed. I never knew about ILM til last year and it's already helped make priorities of a few albums I probably wouldn't have spent much time with otherwise.

Welcome and thanks for voting!

curious about Tim F's ballot and why it is so close to consensus? were you just not listening to stuff unless it was heavily repped on ILM?
