Album of the Week Voting Thread 2012 Onwards

    Registered Users Posts: 15,065 ✭✭✭✭


    Back by popular demand (again ;)), is the Album of The Week. The rules are the same as before.
    • One person, one vote per week. You can either quote someone else's nomination or you can post a different album.
    • You can vote for the same album each week if you like but you still only get one vote per week.
    • The new album of the week will be revealed each Monday. If there is a tie in the voting myself and lord lucan will decide the winner.
    • Any albums that were previously voted as albums of the week may not be voted for. The full list is below. Note that this just means the album can't be voted for. If the band in question released more than one album then you can simply vote for a different album by the same band.
    • Any votes from one post wonder accounts won't be counted so no registering new accounts to push up the number of votes for your chosen album.
    • Please only post votes on this thread. Discussions on any of the albums nominated don't belong here.
    • The moderation team reserves the right to discount any vote and their decision is final.

    You know, I'm glad this is back and I'll tell you why: Looking through the list of previous winners, it really is a stellar collection of albums. It means anyone looking for something new to listen to, can look at that list, pick out a random album, and chances are it's great.

    So can we start suggesting now or is that not till Monday?

    Yep, start voting now. The voting will be open until next Monday morning (April 23rd).

    I was gonna throw this up the last time this thread was run but there's something down right odd about not having Master of Puppets on the list.

    So, Master of Puppets is my nomination.

    My vote goes to Dream Theater - Awake

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,272 ✭✭✭✭Max Power1


    Going to vote for the Crue - Dr Feelgood
    A defining album of glam metal, and its worthy of including on any AOTW list.

    Agreed, it is an iconic metal album. Master of Puppets gets my vote.

    Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 507 ✭✭✭bigbadcon


    Its not right that Master of puppets isnt up there.

    My vote goes to it...


  • Registered Users Posts: 156 ✭✭icarus86


    Another vote for Master of Puppets here. Some great albums on that list of previous winners


  • Registered Users Posts: 900 ✭✭✭Joe_Dull


    I'd normally vote for Dream Theater, but Awake is probably my least favourite album of theirs so...

    Master of Puppets for me.

    :eek::(

    Easy to see MoP is gonna win it this week. Definitely surprising it hasn't all ready. It certainly belongs up there


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Nailz


    Down - N.O.L.A.

    I'm shocked it wasn't in that list of 70-ish albums, it's up there with the best Metal albums written in the last 20 years!

    I didn't mean to shock you, good Doctor. There's just something about it that doesn't click with me as much as the rest of them. Don't get me wrong though, it's still an awesome album. Mmm... Voices :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,065 ✭✭✭✭Malice


    I think I'll vote for Master of Puppets as well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,065 ✭✭✭✭Malice


    The results have been counted. The new thread is here.

    Voting for next week starts now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 389 ✭✭TheStickyBandit


    As I've noticed some interest in this album on here before it might get a few votes.
