Holy crap Cannibal Ox is awesome. Oh well, my vote wouldn't have pushed it over the threshold.

Get Ur Freak On in ahead of The Middle - disappointing. Will probably be my #100 at the end. Good to see Crystal in though. Disappointing Gold missed out as well

That came in my mind too when I saw Cannibal Ox at #11 (although I haven't even listened to that album).

Rocky Raccoon

Yes. I sent the spreadsheet of 2001 to Henrik today (and will send also from 2000 and the rest of the years if that's ok with him).

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2001

I really wish albums 9 and 10 were switched with 11 and 12. The Glow, Pt. 2 should have been a shoo-in. I'm happy with Rings Around the World's high placement, though.

On the songs list, I'm really surprised Get Ur Freak On made it, that song has never seemed to have much support around here and has always been overrated by critics. It will probably be bottom-five for me.

I agree with you completely about Get Ur Freak On.

I have a difficult time enjoying Dylan's 2001 offering because to me his vocals resemble the sound of a dying goat.

That's what turned me off of it a little, that's why he stood just outside my top 10.

Overall I think '01 was much stronger year for albums than singles. You could make the case that most of the album tracks on Is This It or Discovery are as good as the bottom half of our top 10.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2001

Hypothetical question:

If Girls, Girls, Girls (the original) had received 162 points and the remix had received 100 points for a total of 262, would it have advanced to the next round?

262 would have been good enough for 10th place, but neither version got enough by itself. I think the answer to this question should be yes.

Here's a link to the spreadsheet:

Thank you Henrik.
There's at least one mistake in the spreadsheet. Bobby Conn – The Golden Age wqs nj's #7 so it should have 18 points (not 16 p). There's is also album and artist called nj's #12 with 9 points. I hope no one posts her/his lists in format like nj did ever again (or at least posts also the text. The album covers were actually nice.)
Thanks

Edit: The link to the spreadsheet didn't work.

I was unaware any Zeuhl bands besides Magma existed until looking up what this what, especially not a Japanese Zeuhl band.
