With 19 ballots cast, here are the top twenty according to us. Unlike Sufjan Stevens last year, there was no consensus No. 1. I was pleasantly surprised to see my top two albums finish one-two, although in inverse order. If there is any interest, I can post the individual lists later.

Looks better than lists from critics !
The Pipettes at #3, how cool it is !

I forgot to mention that there wasn't a lot of interest in listing overated or worst albums, so I just skipped it.

Eat your heart out critics! We've taken real music and put it where it belongs

Thanks Rocky!!!

It would be great to see the individual lists that were sent to you by email at some point as well.

Hmm, none of the albums in my ballot made the top 10. I guess I have to give you all a real lesson.

Watching these results, I might have to check out the Hold Steady.
Also, very happy the Pipettes made the top 3!
