I kind of like the way these polls have not been broken down by genre and have just been lists of someone's faves.
otm, and also not "canon" or a big averaged-out list of agreed "classics" so a RYM list wouldn't be quite the same either, though I'd read and vote on some RYM 2000s polls (er, if there haven't already been some, kind of feel like there may have been)
sorry ON (& Michael) that you feel people have been getting at you abt fave albums missing - I've know I've mentioned some unlisted favourites and grumbled about my favourite albums by bands not being listed while lesser favourites did but I didn't mean it as a complaint, just everyone here, well, loves music and doesn't get much chance to talk about specific 90s albums outside genre or artist threads, so it's nice to throw a few overlooked favourites into the discussion too

I've groused about missing albums but it was all in good fun. It's been a great series, frankly.
Siegbran, you're right, but it would be entertaining anyway and may result in a few heads coming out of the woodwork. If I were to do a classical poll based on the same yearly model, I'd be amazed if more than five people voted at all, but eh, if it can get a discussion going, it's good enough for me.

Just ftr, I have too, but I don't think anyone who's done this did it in bad faith? Loved seeing Frogbs for instance listing his fave albums from a particular year, obviously missing because they are outlier than these. You can bet your life I'll throw in TWO Fushitsusha albums you won't list in '97 because they are in my all time top 20, but that's part of the fun! I think of it as nice additions to the discussion of a particular year, and in no way as criticism towards the esteemed poll starters.

nah, those posting lists of their own slightly obscure music is good. Somebody moaning a lack of nu metal or Z grade britpop like the divine comedy or something would be really lame :)

I actually think someone like frogbs or rushomancy would be great choices to do the 00s

Getting ridiculous here and the 00s will only be worse
