I didn't vote in the album poll (was a beyond-the-deadline voter), but Vespertine would've been my number 1. Post was 2 though, so I doubt it would've lead to a switch of those two.
Biggest surprise for is seeing Medúlla so high. Thought it'd place around 7th/8th, certainly not higher than Vulnicura and Biophilia!

yowza i missed a bunch
kinda surprised vespertine almost caught homogenic! esp considering everyone assumed a homo-post-debut finish? or at least someone did in the other thread and i just assumed they'd be right because it was the first prediction i read?
i was out on sugarcubes and i didn't think the remixes thru too well but i am looking fwd to listening to both of those lists!
v excited for these music videos, idk if there is an artist with more good vids than bjork, gonna say no

I just watched the Greatest Hits DVD for the first time last night and the "It's Oh So Quiet" video looks like washed-out shit and was almost definitely transferred from a VHS tape. But all the other videos look p good so far and I am p sure the rip on the Spike Jonze Director's Label DVD looks great so idk what gives
