Anyone fancying an EOY poll for 2010 (albums & songs)? If so, what about doing this in january? (I'm not sure anymore what period we agreed upon starting the '00s poll...).
We've done a sort of AM Pazz & Jop for the last few years, so I'm pretty sure we will do that as well this year. I'm not sure if anyone has already volunteered to do the collating.
Would you take Valleys of Neptune, released around March by the estate of Jimi Hendrix? If so, that's my favorite this year.
1) Valleys of Neptune-Jimi Hendrix
2) Plastic Beach-Gorillaz
3) Odd Blood-Yeasayer
4) April Uprising-John Butler Trio
5) Janelle Monae-Archandroid
Honorable Mention:
Arcade Fire-The Suburbs
British India-Avalanche
Kings of Leon-Come Around Sundown
LCD Soundsystem-Is this Happening
Sufjan Stevens-Age of Adz
Swans - My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky

I thought we were going to start the 00's poll at the start of 2011.
I'm really looking forward to it. Our lists should be deeper and more varied than our lists for previous decades. At least, I know mine will.
