I know i’m in danger of an RSR but basically do we all put in votes for your fave album of that Yr ?
if so (i can edit later if wrong). Whilst Joy Divisin is an obvious candidate i’m in the midst of a Tom Waits binge so it’s Heart Attack & Vine for me.

Yup, basically. Any time during the week, before Sunday afternoon/evening when Woob tallies everything, you can make a list of your top 10 records for that year--top album getting 10 points, and tenth album getting 1 point. You can make your list whenever and edit it throughout the week. I normally make a playlist every Monday using other people's choices as a guide to check out some albums I've never heard before, get through as many as I can, and then make my list near the end of the week, but whatever works. I love this thread mainly for the discovery aspect, but some people don't need to think about it too much and just love making lists!
