5/30

Umm its kind of weird. It was Jerusalem in 99 and was not one long track. Its separated into 6 parts but is the same composition as Dopesmoker.

Happy to replace it with another album if that causes it to not count.

imago, how big will these ballots be? this is a poll where 50 vs. 100 will be a big deal lol
100 would favour the votes of the mentalists. who would have the time to rank a 100 albums?

ALBUMS

Amerie - Because I Love It
Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSounds
Tweet - Southern Hummingbird

(4/30)

Lets please replace Sleep- Dopesmoker with this:

...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - Source Tags & Codes

30/30

Dopesmoker technically was released in 03 but had already been out in some form (not one long track) before that. Sorry for the confusion.

A solid replacement! Though I still can't decide whether to stan for this or Worlds Apart.

bad timing for this poll imo. is it intentional?
