Anyone notice how the top albums have really been stuck into their tiers ever since the first dozen or so lists?
Tier 1
Funeral
Is This It
Kid A
Tier 2
Blueprint to Illinois
Tier 3
In Rainbows to Arular
true, but IR is disadvantaged like no other album because all mighty Kid A takes votes in "one album per artist" lists. Without Kid A, it would be easily behind our frontrunners, this is something Im sure about.
I have to say I dont care that much about Kid A nowadays, it got its acclaim anyway, but IR on the other hand is getting better and better with every listen. So good - production wise, such a captivating power, its lightness in a good sense.

I noticed that the top 7 has always included:
Radiohead- Kid A
OutKast- Stankonia
The Strokes- Is This It
Jay-Z- The Blueprint
Wilco- Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Arcade Fire- Funeral
and the seventh album has varied.
Even though Elephant is currently among those albums in the top 7, I sort those 6 as being the top tier.
I would consider those albums one tier just because those top 3 are so far ahead in points that it would be impossible for any 4th album to break in there. It is like they have almost lapped their closest competition.
