    Alright...I'm bored, thinking of ways to waste the time that I shoud be using to study and thought this idea that might be interesting.
    We have have a Vote for the best album of all time....here's how it would work.

    Everyone nominates 5 albums...after a set deadline 32 highest voted albums are picked and using a random generator placed in knockout style match ups that we vote on....all the way up to a final. Should cause some good discussion and be good to see what would get the prize.

    The winning band will get sent a packet of cookies made by Howies mother. :)

    Alright so deadline for nominations is Sunday at noon...giving you 2 days to pick out 5.

    Simple rules of cours are that if there's a number of albums on same amount of nominations and not all can be picked then there will be a Play off :D !

    Also probably best that Greatest Hits compilations aren't included.

    My nominees are:

    The Killers - Hot Fuss
    The Killers - Day and Age
    Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
    Offspring - Americana
    Queen (feeling bad for not allowing the greatest hits now...) The Works

    Bit of a queer list and I know LP and Offspring prob wont qualify but they're the albums I've listened to most! (Except for the Queen one as I listen to greatest hits the most)!

    Also lists can be changed up until the deadline.

    Yes it is unbelievably hard...I was dwelling over Appetite For Destruction and a few others for ages...but thought I'd put in Linkin Park and Offspring because I must have listened to those albums for over a year.
