On the first poll titled Five I picked five albums from years ending in five. '65, '85 & '95. Lets end this with the other three years ending in five, not counting this year because it's not half over yet. So '75, '05 & '15. A lot more albums to pick from for these years. One vote, and maybe it's just one your into these days. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

There are a bunch I like here, and some that did not do it for me like the Morse and Riverside (lots of variety) but I really am feeling very pachydermic right now. Here's the first vote, and it may be the only one, for Elephant9's Silver Mountain, which is an I think excellent modern album. EDIT: I was just looking at what I currently have listed as my top album for every 60s and up year ending with five, including this year so far, and this is my list. Art Zoyd's Le mariage, which I voted for in the other poll is in second place for 1985, but I don't take the rankings terribly seriously... 1965: Los Relámpagos - Los Relámpagos 1975: Cortex - Troupeau Bleu 1985: Kate Bush - Hounds of Love 1995: Swans - The Great Annihilator 2005: Sufjan Stevens - Illinois 2015: Anna von Hausswolff - The Miraculous 2025: BRUIT ≤ - The Age of Ephemerality Love the idea for a poll. Hope to see more like it, and you get more variety across varied tastes than I would if doing my favourites. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

I need some inspiration. I always appreciate your detailed responses Greg. Sure I could continue this but I feel there's a better idea. And you are right, I tried to give some variety instead of picking my favs for these two polls like usual. Maybe I just need to go further from my favs and cover more sub genres. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I don't have time to spin these as that would help, but then who does have that kind of time. 15 cds. I ended up voting Deadwing too but honestly "on paper" there isn't one standing out for me even though there's a bunch of 5 star albums on here. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Thanks John, I appreciate these polls and topics that might be likely to bring more of the forum together. I think you have plenty of diversity, but one could maximise the poll options if one wished to. Follow your pleasure and MO, imo. :) ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

I have trouble including 15 options.  I always liked 10 or less. But... you are right, that there needs to be some diversity. My goal has always been not to have an album run away with a poll like Misplaced Childhood did on "Five". Miscalculation on my part. I saw it recently in a poll and not doing well. It's hard to guage the climate on here at times.I think I will continue these. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

^ However you want to do it, of course. Follow your bliss. For me the poll results don't matter much generally. I care about the posts and the conversation and don't treat these polls like contests. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

And that's what I've always liked about your polls, it's about bringing music to people's attention, a discussion. It's not a contest. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |
