All right everyone, the time has finally come and the End Of Year polls are opening up.

Albums Lists are due Sunday December 16. There aren't any exceptions to that. You've got about three weeks, so there shouldn't be any problems with people not having enough notice. Also, let me know when you submit your list if you are interested in writing blurbs for the top 40 albums.

Just to go through the rules again:

-You can vote for as few as five 2007 albums or as many as fifty 2007 albums.

-2007 Albums include:
1. LPs of all-new material
2. Live albums (not ones being re-issued or of all old material)
3. Label compilations (of recent stuff)
4. Artist remix/b-sides/unreleased compilations of all of mostly 2007 material

-To submit your list, either post it in the thread or PM it to me. Any list posted in this thread in countdown form will be considered a final list. If you need to make a change once your list is submitted, you can only swap one album out to replace with another.

-2006 vs. 2007 eligibility is broken down as follows--if you can make a case for it being 2007, you can vote for it. So that includes albums released in your country for the first time in 2007, albums that didn't receive wide exposure
until 2007, or albums that were released in Dec. 2006 and didn't have enough time to sink in before voting last year.

-Finally, nothing that was on our Top 100 Albums of 2006 list is eligible. You can not, under any circumstances vote for anything that made the top 100 albums last year. Just so you know, these 100 albums are:

Also, one last thing I just want to remind everyone about. If there is an album that you're really passionate about but not many others know of it, don't wait until we start the countdown to complain about it not being higher. Use this thread to make sure that everyone else is made aware of it before it is too late to vote.

That should be everything. You can get started with the questions, voting, and fishing.

I always tweak my list a little bit, and edit out items that literally no one is going to vote for.

Has anyone here even heard this:

I assume not, and I'll leave it off my list. Do all soundtracks go into compilations?

I haven't heard that, don't think it's a compilation if it's all original, new compositions.

My favorite list so far, although like Slackmo, I continue to be baffled by the outpouring of love for that drone-tone sleep inducer Stars of the Lid, whose bandwagon I admittedly jumped on for a day before a couple more listens revealed it to be seriously overhyped and not nearly as cool as everyone seems to think it is (think of it as this year's Tim Hecker).

Yeah, seeing that on anyone's list would have surprised me, but seeing it at #1 - wow. I was initially disappointed with it, but as stated elsewhere, I listened to it recently and felt that i was better than I remembered it. I'm a huge Leo fan and I'd still say its his weakest album. However, it is a great sort of Ted Leo primer - it touches on all his influences, all the styles he jumps to in one album. Also, being such a Leo nerd probably killed the album a little. I had heard almost the whole thing already several times over because he was playing about half of those songs live for a while. So the greatness of "Colleen", "La Costa Brava" (great but too long on the record), "Bottle of Buckie" (could do without the leprechaun jig), "Sons of Cain" etc was diminished somewhat.

Jens Lekman, Kanye and Radiohead are having a fucking battle for my album of the year right now.

Nope.

Yeah, that was a cool list.

Is Blackout really any good? Should I bother?

Not quite sure why people are submitting lists when there's still another 3 weeks of music listening to go. But still, its exciting to see this get under way.

Word. So many records still to get. At least Red Album is on its way.

I'll post a list, but I won't have a really decent handle on 2007 til some point in the spring.

Neon bible? Did you people hear the same album I did? Can you say sophomore slump?

I'm not sure if that was the problem for me, but I didn't think much of that album. It was more that I was SO sick of them by the time their second album was released.

Well obviously I think so... it's a lot stranger than I'd ever have expected a Britney album to be. If you hate mainstream pop, there's probably no point paying any attention though. It's processed and warped and twisted but the songs are still really strong... it actually reminds me of the Knife in some ways. Popmatters and Pitchfork have both done recent articles on it that are far more articulate than I am.
