^ 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.

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.

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. :)

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.
