Rllmuk's Favourite Albums Of 2008 - List Thread CLOSED!!! Lists can be PM'd to me until midday on the 22nd
#1
Posted 24 November 2008 - 02:27 PM
Position - Artist - Album
for example,
01 - Friendly Fires - Friendly Fires
02 - Portishead - Third
03 - Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours
Please don't post any opinions or responses to other forumites' choices in this thread - you can do that in http://www.rllmukfor...howtopic=184981.
The spaces and hyphens between position, artist and album are really important as it means that I can import the text straight into Excel without having to piss about with reformatting, and also I can reuse the 2007 spreadsheet ;-) . I'll leave this thread running until the end of 22 December so we've got results before Christmas.
If you have any questions then PM me - if the answer is useful to others I'll add it to this post, below.
1) You can edit your list as much as you like - I won't compile them until I close the thread.
2) Radiohead's "In Rainbows" doesn't count for 2008 as i) it was issued in the UK in download/vinyl + CD boxset format in 2007 and ii) was voted for by forumites in 2007.
3) Bon Iver's "For Emma, Forever Ago" counts for 2008 as i) it wasn't issued in the UK until this year and ii) was not voted for by forumites in 2007.
