As usual from me, a lament: In the US, Labour of Lust is unavailable on iTunes and is out of print. Used copies sell for $40-some-odd and higher (in fact I found someone asking well in excess of $100). What I know from the album I like a lot, but I don't know enough of it to include it in my list. Another lament: Either too few people know the Shoes, or too few people who know them appreciate them. Sigh. Now, the list:

1) The Clash - London Calling
2) Graham Parker & the Rumour - Squeezing Out Sparks
3) Van Morrison - Into the Music
4) Elvis Costello - Armed Forces
5) Shoes - Present Tense
6) The B-52's - The B-52's
7) Michael Jackson - Off the Wall
8) Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleeps
9) Gang of Four - Entertainment!
10) Donna Summer - Bad Girls
11) Marianne Faithful - Broken English
12) Wire - 154
13) The Specials - The Specials
14) Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedoes
15) Talking Heads - Fear of Music
16) The Roches - The Roches
17) Public Image Ltd. - Metal Box/Second Edition
18) XTC - Drums and Wires
19) Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
20) Fleetwood Mac - Tusk

And the last albums to reach our final list are :

2) Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures (547)
3) Michael Jackson - Off the Wall (521)
4) Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleeps (421)

7) Pink Floyd – The Wall (314)
8) Specials, The - The Specials (289)
9) Talking Heads - Fear of Music (271)
10) B-52's, The - The B-52's (241)

The Clash wins with the largest margin of any previous poll, appearing in 27 ballots out of 29.
Not much suspens for the other 9, they all took an early lead from the rest of the pack. The #11, Tom Petty with 178 pts lacks more than a first place vote to enter the top 10, which I think never happened on the previous years.

I'll try to get the songs results as soon as I can !

Songs results :

1) Clash, The - London Calling (618 points)
2) Michael Jackson - Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough (309)
3) Cure, The - Boys Don't Cry (219)
4) Chic - Good Times (209)
5) Clash, The - Train In Vain (Stand By Me) (201)
6) Neil Young with Crazy Horse - Powderfinger (194)
7) Clash, The - The Guns Of Brixton (193)
8) Joy Division - Disorder (191)
8(tie) Police, The - Message in a Bottle (191)
10) Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (187)

Had I voted, Disorder would be out and Atomic in !

Nassim, I don't get why you didn't vote!? Anyway, thanks for the great job again. And now I really look forward to the final '70s poll.
