TEF Top 50 Albums of the Decade

[Nemo]

1st placed option gets 10 pts, 2nd gets 9 and so on, standard scoring system.

[DiV]

Did I misunderstand the instruction? Surely the ones listed at 1 are supposed to be best?

Yes - they are allocated 10 points I believe.

[wiggy]

Ah good - I did it right then.

[Bob's Orange]

I am going to make a shortlist after having a look through my Itunes. Haven't got 10 yet. My criteria are albums where I like every track on the album and as I usually shuffle on Itunes, songs which I have skipped recently include Killers Razorlight and RHCP so they go out. I am sure you are all on tenterhooks with my (short)list!

Read the post before I posted my short list. I am fully aware I am only supposed to pick 10, cheesedick.

[Bogus Dave]

Only by the night is the weakest of all KOL albums

For shame

[flammableBen]

Alfie? I think I saw them support someone once. Doves or Ocean Colour Scene or maybe Athlete. Seemed enjoyable enough.

I'm struggling for my list a bit. It'll need some thought. How long is until the dead line?

[Nemo]

Next weekend probably.

Come on, it was tongue in cheek!

Although I don't really get why you posted more than ten? Are we supposed to vote from your list?

[flammableBen]

Next weekend probably.

Cool. Let's be honest, the TEF list isn't going to be any better than the NME one. Infact there's a good chance it will be quite a lot worse.

[yeo]

Its to much effort for me to make a list.

Ive lost a whole box of Tea Bags, its real puzzle.I cant worry about 2 things at once.

I was bored and decided to make a list from my Itunes, I didn't have to post it, but I did, so live with it! I will refer back to it when I decide on my final 10. It killed an hour or so and telly is minging on a Saturday.
