(Taken from the charts, not the actual poll, natch)

If anyone already did this, I missed it. If B&S don't win, it's going to be an upset.

Top albums with >10 votes:
8.1 (22 votes) Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit
7.8 (14 votes) Destroyer - Destroyer's Rubies
7.8 (13 votes) Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings The Flood
7.5 (10 votes) Band Of Horses - Everything All The Time
7.4 (14 votes) TV on the Radio - Return To Cookie Mountain
7.3 (12 votes) Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped
7.2 (11 votes) Tapes n Tapes - The Loon
7.1 (11 votes) Danielson - Ships
6.6 (10 votes) Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
6.5 (15 votes) The Strokes - First Impressions Of Earth
6.5 (11 votes) Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere

Top albums with > 5 votes

But I haven't voted yet and I have a special moderator vote that counts for 10 prole Obner votes, right?

Just to reiterate what Haq said above, these votes have nothing to do with the actual poll, except in that some of the voters may be the same.

Yeah, I'll be surprised if that Danielson album ends up in the top 20. It's slipped a bit on my own list lately.

Every time I listen to Ships I like it less. Which begs the question, why do I keep putting it on.

Ships kind of slipped down my list too. His vocal style just really gets on my nerves after a while.

I saw that Danielson Famile movie that came out a few months ago. It really didn't help my Danielson fandom much. It made Sufjan look pretty good though.

Only one of those'll be in my top 20...

and, natch, it ain't the B&S.

I just heard there's a new Pere Ubu album called Why I Hate Women. Anyone heard it? Would it have been a contender on anyone's list?

I heard about this, too, and then totally forgot about it. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. That can't be a good sign.

This is interesting... Mathematically, the Shmoo poll weighs the NUMBER of votes much more heavily than the charts does, so I predict that Band Of Horses and the Arctic Monkeys don't even break the top 30.

Fastnbulbous has it as an early '04. Limited edition Saskatchewan import of demos for the album.

I've listened to that song a few times now, and it's really good. I may have to seek this out.

I should also finally listen to Pennsylvania and St. Arkansas.
