AM '70s Forum Poll (Instructions and links)

After having done the best albums and songs of the '90s and '80s poll, we will now attack the '70s. We will be focusing on the years 1970 through 1979 from February through November and for every year the 10 songs and 10 albums with the most points will go to the Grand Finale! This will take place during December. Everybody, from old users to newcomers, is welcome to participate in one or more (preferably all) of these polls.

The scoring in the polls is very simple and the same for both albums and songs:

1. 50
2. 40
3. 35
4. 30
5. 25
6. 20
7. 18
8. 16
9. 14
10. 12
11. 10
12. 9
13. 8
14. 7
15. 6
16. 5
17. 4
18. 3
19. 2
20. 1

A minimum of 5 albums and/or songs is required, but if you really cannot come up with 5 albums or songs just submit a shorter list and I'll see what we can do!

For comments and discussions during the polls, please post in the year-specific topics, this topic is purely for rules and links.

(and yeah, I did not change much of the presentation here )
