Gang Gang Dance really could've challenged Portishead on this evidence

But that's the joy of these things, isn't it? There are three records on this list -- GGD, School of Seven Bells and Grouper -- that I'm pretty sure would have made my list had I heard them. Hey ho.

school of seven bells sounds pretty good. they're playing glasgow on the 24th so i might pop in if it isn't sold out. Grouper would have definitely been top 10 if I had heard it in time.

Yeh, I'm working the night of the 24th which is a massive, massive, massive pain in the bollocks. I could try haring down straight from work but I doubt I'll make it in time :(

grimly look at the metal poll thread

Heard the other day that School of Seven Bells are also supporting Bat For Lashes on her UK tour in April.

Nice Wet Wet Wet reference there BTW.

Yeh, that sonic adventure is coming, worry not.

It would've been in my top 5, likely top 3, if I'd voted.

not totally positive it would have made my top 20 but it is definitely a great album, and props to ILM for the heads up on it.
― devin harris with an appletini (call all destroyer), Friday, 20 February 2009 03:09 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, exactly (xp). I think GGD has picked up well over 100 phantom points since coming 4th, maybe more like 200. Big props to ILM.

It was actually the Gang Gang Dance thread a few months ago that turned me onto it, rather than this poll, but yes: big props to ILM.
― Bianca Jagger (jaymc), Friday, 20 February 2009 03:20 (fifteen years ago) link
ha well otoh portishead would have picked up at least 12 points from me

More stuff from these polls up on Spotify (Grouper)

argh these threads are pretty hard to find/scan for in search (maybe just because there's a close bracket right after the word ALBUMS in this case). might be worth editing the titles to make them a bit easier to find (ie come up top in search results for '2008 albums poll results' or whatever).

yeah...all due respect to musically but i much prefer the more straightforward thread titles under the johnny/j0rdan regime
