Re: 2011 AMF All-Time Albums Poll Results Thread: The Top 20

Thanks Jackson for all the work !

The only album I don't like in the top 20 is Blood on Tracks, heck it is even probably the album I enjoy the less in the top 50. Is it a matter of lyrics ?
I am not allergic to Dylan, I have listened to his top 4 albums and I find Highway 61 Revisited great; even if I don't find them brilliant, Bringing it all Back Home and Blonde on Blonde are good enough for their presence in the top 50 not annoying me.

Great poll and great presentation, Jackson! Like I've already said, it was really nice the level of participation this time. Even though we complain about one result or another, the overall list shows what we all think as a comunity, and I'm pretty satisfied with what I see. Even Moonbeam and nicolas liked the top 3, hahah. Heck, even Henry liked the #1. This shows how good these albums really are. I join the ones who say these album and songs polls are the main event of our forum movimentation, like the world cup to soccer.
Cheers to all participants!

New Amerykah not even in the top 1000? Was I the only one who voted for it?

Anyway, good list overall, though probably needs an overall higher melanin content, and more representation of albums not in either the 'classic rock' or 'indie' spheres.

The top 3 is in my top 5, so me very happy.

This might get boring because it repeats what many others already wrote, but ...:

Thanks Jackson for the great entertainment!

At least two votes for New Amerykah Part One: 4th World War. It was a recent find for me.

Great job, Jackson!
And great comments everyone (with a special mention to mon pote Nicolas).
So sad for not being able to see the results live.
It seems that many voters are dissapointed for "OK Computer" wining again for the 4th consecutive time, and even increasing the difference of points, with 10 points of difference in 2005, 298 in 2007, only 9 points in 2009 and... 511 in 2011 (!!). The total points were lower this time because a lower number of voters, with 6020 points instead the 6301 of 2009 (that was our particular peak, comparing with the 2303 points on 2007 and 1271 in 2005)
What can I say about it? This persistence of Radiohead's magnum opus at the top is obviously because we like it and (IMHO) because the album deserves it.

Great work, congratulations!
And it would definitely be cool to have a spreadsheet of it, as nicolas mentioned. I regularly use my spreadsheet of the last poll...

Congratulations Jackson for this fantastic presentation and the results calculation! It really was an incredible journey.

If I have more time in the not so distant future I may well explain why the poll's #2 (whooooooohooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! ) is my personal all-time favorite album, how angry I am for "Funeral"'s placement or that "Pet Sounds", as exceptional as it is, can't hold a single candle to "Revolver", but let's leave this annoying stuff for some other time as I said before
