(30/30)

Should be 'Antimony' rather than 'Antinomy', my bad.

Why exclude classical?

Would take way too much time.

Part of the problem (and this is why I haven't gotten started on the series of classical polls, incidentally) is that it's hard to find a reliable master database of classical releases sorted by year.

Makes sense. I often have a hard time with classical music when it comes to this kind of thing since it's by and large not a music built around the recorded medium. Not only do I often enjoy it live (or by actually playing it) but even with albums themselves, I often listen to individual pieces as opposed to albums as a whole - and don't necessarily think the recording I have is definitive.

Most definitely. I'll do those polls regardless but it's going to take a while for me to cross that bridge.

That said:

ALBUMS
John Cage/Margaret Leng Tan/American Composers Orchestra/Dennis Russell Davies - The Seasons
Angela Hewitt - Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier

15/30

Love both.

That Angela Hewitt one is great, probably my favourite recording of the Well-Tempered Clavier. I couldn't fit it in my nominations but will probably vote for it, so thanks!

Same. I saw her do all of Book 1 last year!

good call on boys of melody, geofreyess. a top song.

Ah god, I'd really like to take part in this but I'm not sure I can nom in time, I need to think about this in more depth than my brain can handle right now. Gahhh.

I've started rolling with a Beats-esque 'first thought, best thought' kind of approach to these polls or I'd never participate in them.

Tracks

Brett Johnson - Sigh of Relief

7/30
