Jesus wtf is this choice. Brutal. Love that Snivilization is here. It really is a pinnacle record for me too.
Went with Hounds of Love, though.

Voted Joni, but forgot Al Green was there too. Feel free to use that missed vote as a tie-breaker if need be.

Seriously rooting for any one of the eight albums I mentioned in my previous post... and hoping I really didn't cast the only vote for Avalon.

Damn, your extended list is so great! Some more of my own favourites and I immediately want to hear all the albums I don't know.

Oops, thought I voted but "Rapture" has 0.

w00t, one of the eight I was rooting for got second place! Also happy about the votes Laughing Stock, Low, and Cupid and Psyche 85 got, and that I wasn't the only person who ended up voting for Avalon (but am really glad I threw a little love that way). OTOH, I'm shocked Sleep No More received zero votes.

Damn great turnout. Voted Sade in the end.

You can tell Paul's Boutique, Disintegration and Doolittle were missing from the list.

Impressed by the spread, excellent list Brad. I’m pretty sure I voted Sprinkles, as I would in any ballot

Speaking of which, I happily discovered Sprinkles through this poll so thanks, Brad!

the thing about hats and the blue nile in general. it is nice late night background music - though the strings suck big time as usual - but there is zero spirituality in that music compared to laughing stock. additionally the vu self titled which covers similar ground as hats in terms of relaxed atmosphere is so much more intimate and immediate. hats is a string syrup covered with a voice coating that does not speak to me. so what is the point?
