1. Michelle Shocked - Short Sharp Shocked (#220)
7. Tori Amos - Under The Pink
10. Cat Power - Moon Pix

Glad to see the game's mission was accomplished and everyone discovered new albums to enjoy. These were my picks that made Stephan's list. Glad to see Michelle receiving the love she didn't get these days.

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.

I'll leave this open for one more day then calculate the results.

It looks like Sounds of the Satellites is on every list so far.

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.

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

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).

1. Serge Gainsbourg - Initials B.B.
2. Julee Cruise - Floating Into The Night
3. Tim Buckley - Starsailor
4. Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)
5. Dead Can Dance - Within the Realm of the Dying Sun
6. Les Rita Mitsouko - The No Comprendo
7. Scott Walker - Scott Walker 3
8. King Crimson - Red
9. Marquis de Sade - Rue de Siam
10. Telephone - Un Autre Monde
