Psynews "Best of 2010" poll


Rotwang

Recommended Posts

So, owing to the fact that Mars was busy with other things, the vote for best albums from 2010 never happened. Until now. So please vote for up to ten of your favourite releases in each of the following two categories:

 

Best psy uptempo album

Best psy downtempo album

 

To vote, simply reply in this thread with ordered lists of your top 10's. When counting up the votes, your number one album will be given 10 points, your number two album will be given 9 points, and so on. The voting period will last two months, starting right now; during that time you can edit your post as many times as you like, so there's no need to post a new reply if you change your mind - we won't start counting the votes until voting is closed.

 

We'll be counting manually so there's no fixed format for how you write your votes, but please include both the artist name (or "VA") and album name with each of your votes, and it will help us if you can aim to keep out typos.

 

There is also a best of the Noughties vote.

Yeah busy big time. And yes until now. It's still on my backlog, so I guess that's not relevant to make it anymore on the bestof application you've known???

Ormion and I have volunteered to count votes manually, so I don't think there's any need (and given the number of voters we've had in previous years I would guess that assembling a database of all possible releases for both polls would be a lot more work than just counting votes anyway).

Hey everybody,

 

The deadline was supposed to be the 19th. I think though we could close the thread a little later, in order to wait for Rotwang (the OP).

 

So please, if you haven't posted yet, do so now since there is not much time left!
