BASICS
Rank your top 20 album releases from 1 to 20 and send it to me at
MrHonorama@hotmail.com, or post it on the Audities list, or post it on the
list AND send it to me. If you don't have 20, send me your top 3, or 7 or
12 or 18 .if you are unsure about eligibility, send me more - I'll count the
top 20 eligible records. Records will get points based on the ranking -
first place votes get a 5-point bonus, so points go like this (25 for first,
19 for second, 18 for third.1 for twentieth). Please try to list the title
of the record.
WHAT'S ELIGIBLE?
Original 2007 LP/CD releases (not EPs...). Of course, in this day and age,
release dates can be tricky, so, for the most part, I will rely on the honor
system. If you are unsure about a record's eligibility, feel free to add an
extra selection to your "ballot". If a record is clearly ineligible, then I
can move all the other records on a list up a notch. As the years have gone
on, I tend to go easier on records that came out late in the previous year,
particularly if they were not available in the United States in that year.
This isn't because of some pro-America bias, but just in recognition that
the Audities list, though international and loving every minute of it, is
primarily composed of Yanks.
Certain records are ineligible - Compilations of single or various artists
(Examples - A Night At The Ritz by Office, which is compiles tracks from two
prior albums, with just a few new cuts or a tribute album). Reissues - just
because a record is reissued with bonus cuts added, this does not make it a
2007 release. However, original albums that just happened not to see
release until 2007 do count; so when the album was recorded was immaterial.
And finally, albums that have made the past Audities list top 20's are
ineligible. Sloan's Never Hear The End Of It was # 15 in the 2006 poll. If
you want to list it in your Top 20, add an extra selection for balloting
purposes (that's what I'm doing).
VOTING PERIOD
This poll will take place over 33 days, just because that's how many it will
take. Votes will be taken from December 15, 2007, until January 17, 2008,
11:59 p.m., CST.
