Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Most discovered album

Out of curiosity is anyone else planning on doing a list? It's okay if you don't go out to 20, just give your top few.

Could you leave this open for two more days?? i'll have an evaluation at my university and i REALLY want to finish my list. It's the best part of the game: talk about the discoveries.

Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Most discovered album

Sure. There's no need for a hard deadline, I just wanted to encourage procrastinators.

Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Most discovered album

Procrastino's

I quitted the game by halfway through because of College, so i took the last few weeks and relistened to some. I'd even change a few votes after the time i had to warm a good amount of them. These are my favorite discoveries and albums that i had tried once but only after the game they hit me (it felt like a kiss).

2. Julee Cruise - Floating Into The Night
3. Tim Buckley - Starsailor
4. Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)
