Hello everyone. It's that time of year again. Time
for the Audities top 20 poll. This year, I've been
extremely busy and haven't had time to really hype the
poll as before. But, it's always a treat to see
people's picks.
Here are the basic rules:
1. Rank your favorites for the year from 1 to 20. If
you have fewer than 20, that's fine.
2. This is for 2004 releases. Of course, what
constitutes a 2004 release is difficult to ascertain,
as things get released on the web in one year and come
otu the next, or on a small indie to a large indie
(ex. -- the new Rogue Wave album) or in different
countries. Sometimes, the album comes out so late in
2003, it seems fairer to count it as a 2004 release.
Basically, use your common sense. If some release
gets mentioned that's obviously a 2003 release, I'll
note it on the Audities list. One more thing -- if an
album made a prior Audities top 20, it's ineligible,
as that effectively fixes its release date.
3. What's not eligibile? Various artists records.
EPs. Compilations -- not just hits comps. This
includes albums that are comprised of the best bits of
two (or more) albums. Again, use your common sense.
4. Finally, to vote in the poll you can: 1) post
your list here on Audities; 2) send your list to me at
mrhonorama@ameritech.net; or, 3) do both.
The polls are open from 11:30 a.m. CST Dec. 17, 2004
to Jan. 17, 2004, 11:59 p.m. CST.
I'm doing these rules from memory and may be
forgetting something, but these are the basics. To
look at old polls, Lee Elliot (another planet.ca) has
done a nifty job chronicling the history of the
Audities Top 20 poll. If someone could grab the URL
and post it, that would be nice. Lee's site is
cracking good overall.
So send in those votes.
