Godflesh – Streetcleaner 0
noooooooooooooooooooooooooo
if all of these have been 50 choices I wonder which year had the least "zero" votes?

It's Friday afternoon so I had the time and inclination to collect some data. 80s only:
YEAR - NUMBER OF ZERO VOTES - NUMBER OF VOTES FOR #1 - TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES1980 - 13 - 28 - 1371981 - 15 -12 - 1151982 - 13 - 13 - 1291983 - 13 - 26 - 1251984 - 14 - 16 - 1211985 - 16 - 18 - 1311986 - 9 -15 - 1441987 - 9 -20 - 1271988 - 16 - 20 - 1271989 - 17 -17 - 128

the 1990 poll will start next week. Mike and I have our 50 (subject to late changes)

I feel very confident in predicting that my favourite record of 1990 will not be among the 50 this time, but I'll happily vote for one of my other three faves.

For data lovers: years ranked by the % of zero vote albums:
1. 1989 (34%)2. 1985, 19884. 19815. 19846. 1980, 1982, 19839. 1986, 1987 (18%)
years ranked by the % of votes that went to the winner:1. 1983 (22%)2. 19803. 19874. 19885. 19856. 19897. 19848. 19819. 198610. 1982 (10%)
There is no correlation, either positive or negative between the two measures (p=.95)

Best Album on OUR Favourite Albums of......1990!! by pfunkboy & Michael B
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Friday, 21 June 2019 15:25 (four years ago) link
My fave was Freedy Johnston’s The Trouble Tree. Quite OK to have missed it out. Sinéad on the other hand...
