This is a lot better than fucking pitchfork 

[Gnomicide]

Hang on. I've not cast my vote! This could change everything!

[Avalon_Fields]

Mmm, I’ve only got 3 of them, and none of those three would be in my own top 10. I need to get out more...

I was loosely keeping count and I believe that Jesse Malin album did just miss out...

[Gilgamesh69]

You kids and your Idles 

[Superscally]

No Nick Cave in there? BULLSHIT is this an Efests poll. When was the vote? I completely refuse to accept the result. Pablo Honey isn't even in ninth.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Worth pointing out a few honorable mentions that just missed out of the top ten; Frank Ocean especially unlucky with both Channel Orange and Blonde picked up 20 points and 4 votes and 17 points and 3 votes respectively. Sufjan Stevens almost had two albums in the top ten too with Age of Adz also picking up 17 points. RTJ2 and Teens Of Denial also came close. 

[Sasperella]

Kanye though...

I feel like I don't know you guys at all!

[Hugh Jass]

If only there was a 25th anniversary Pablo Honey reissue...

[priest17]

The wrong Kanye album at that

Teens of Denial was my number 1, I was posting while you were adding the list. How about an updated chart once the decade's finished?

I completely missed this; out of interest (and I don't expect anyone to do it) I wonder how it collates to other polls from previous years, i.e. do the top albums of each year feature (although I can see they don't!). 

Good work @SwedgeAntilles as ever.

[Dales]

I have the two National albums and the Arcade Fire one. I'm not surprised I dont own more but I am surprised that Kanye is the most popular. I  must be missing something or just wildly out of touch.

[BlackZeppelin]

Well, I've got some listening to do.

Only have 1 of those top ten albums.

I tried to open my mind and listen to the Kanye album, but I just can't stand it. No offence to those who rate him, it's obviously me, but I just don't get it.

Started to have a listen to the National albums and have enjoyed them. 

Thanks for compiling the list Swedge.

Decent list , my no1 the suburbs

[gigpusher]

I never got back to do my top 10 but mine would be very different. I'm surprised at how there are no female entries (apart from Regine in Arcade Fire)
