Hugh Jass II Posted December 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 Interesting that quite a few of the big hitters flopped with the voters. Beyonce was expected to score much higher than she did and despite a strong stanning campaign by @matt42 earlier in the year Adele's 30 failed to garner a single vote. Less surprisng was Red Hot Chilli Peppers' inability to secure a single vote from the panel. Dry Cleaning's Stumpwork was another notable flop... Foals' poor performance may have killed their Pyramid headline hopes once and for all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.pete Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 Fantastic effort and thank you! I'd not listened to much during the year and then AotY lists and this thread have given me lots to get into over the coming months (haha, I'll save next years music for until Dec / Jan too I guess!)

I couldn't tell you the last time I listened to a whole album, but thanks for your endeavours. Based on the tracks I've heard, I'm sure there's something to both delight and simultaneously disappoint most listeners 😉 A few days ago I'd have said I heard nowt from Beyonce's latest either, but I heard about half of Peaches' 6music show and she talked about it (commenting as I recall how rare it is that someone releases an album with no videos these days) and played a cracking track (thique).

Kurosagi Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Momentarily got excited thinking there were some other punks on the forum that had also voted for Anthrax's album too...but then realised you must have awarded points based on the position of albums within the top 5. Okay, good stuff, as you were 🙂 Currently listening to the new Frank Zappa Waka/Wazoo box set that a very kind soul bought me for xmas...that would have been straight in at number 1 with a bullet for me. You can't beat jazzy Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
