That is a very good question. Last year eps of exclusively original material were allowed. The year before no eps were allowed. BUT nothing previously released or live was allowed, and Prospekts March is not entirely new so even if they are allowed, it probably won't count.

Hmm. I'll get back to you on it.

mountainloafers · 21-10-2008, 06:15 PM

Ive updated my list again to include some newly heard albums. Still waiting for The Killers and a couple others. I bought the Japanese edition of The Music's - Strength In Numbers and its great. THANK YOU Famous Old Painter for ranking it so high in your list. Its why I bought it. Glad I did. Drugs and The Rain are nothing short of brilliant!

As for EP's a separate list might be fun.

The National - The Virginia EP
Smashing Pumpkins - American Gothic EP

These would make my list.

And Oasis' bonus CD from Dig Out Your soul if its considered an EP is awesome! Prospekt's March is almost a given based on Glass Of Water alone... Lord, Im such a Coldplay "fanboy" its sick...LOL

Black Rose · 24-10-2008, 10:34 PM

I think EPs shouldn't count, but you can put them as an honorable mention, like other albums which for whatever reason are not allowed to be in the count-down

Sounds fair enough.

The one reason I would say otherwise is that some bands' first releases are EPs that are really more like short proper albums worthy of recognition. A good example would be Sam Roberts' first EP "The Inhuman Condition"- it's the bestselling EP in Canadian history with 3 or 4 major national radio hits on it. It was so big and so good that a lot of people (myself included) were a bit confused or shocked when they released their "Debut Album" 'We Were Born in a Flame' a while later since it was just assumed that the EP was an album. Coldplay's The Blue Room is another example- I've met people who bought it when it first came out and who think of it as their only good album (looong story there)

Schoolwork avalanche is finally over now. Official kickoff and rules writeup this weekend/week.

Special mention goes to:

*drumroll*

Puressence - Don't Forget To Remember, which was given a full release in June of this year, after being released in September 2007. It would be my album of the year by far iif it had originally been released this year.

Yes they do- each album gets so many points per list depending on rank. Painful to do, I know, especially if you can't decide between things, but it's the easiest way to make a coherent final ranking.

Done by! Gum by! In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone, And meat was hard to come by. Up came Tom with his big boots on. Said he to Troll: 'Pray, what is yon? For it looks like the shin o' my nuncle Tim, As should be a-lyin' in graveyard. Caveyard! Paveyard! This many a year has Tim been gone, And I thought he were lyin' in graveyard.' 'My lad,' said Troll, 'this bone I stole. But what be bones that lie in a hole? Thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead, Afore I found his shinbone. Tinbone! Thinbone! He can spare a share for a poor old troll, For he don't need his shinbone.' Said Tom: 'I don't see why the likes o' thee Without axin' leave should go makin' free With the shank or the shin o' my father's kin; So hand the old bone over! Rover! Trover! Though dead he be, it belongs to he; So hand the old bone over!' 'For a couple o' pins,' says Troll, and grins, 'I'll eat thee too, and gnaw thy shins. A bit o' fresh meat will go down sweet! I'll try my teeth on thee now. Hee now! See now! I'm tired o' gnawing old bones and skins; I've a mind to dine on thee now.' But just as he thought his dinner was caught, He found his hands had hold of naught. Before he could mind, Tom slipped behind And gave him the boot to larn him. Warn him! Darn him! A bump o' the boot on the seat, Tom thought, Would be the way to larn him. But harder than stone is the flesh and bone Of a troll that sits in the hills alone. As well set your boot to the mountain's root, For the seat of a troll don't feel it. Peel it! Heal it! Old Troll laughed, when he heard Tom groan, And he knew his toes could feel it. Tom's leg is game, since home he came, And his bootless foot is lasting lame; But Troll don't care, and he's still there With the bone he boned from its owner. Doner! Boner! Troll's old seat is still the same, And the bone he boned from its owner!" Albums of the Year 2011 - Vote Here!
