    Dilemma here- what an amazing selection of albums, particularly Vampire Weekend, Primal Scream and Suede.

    Gave Vampire Weekend the nod, Brilliant album

    It's the genre that matters, not the level of "alt-ness". :)

    Gang Of Four hands down.


    +1 on 3 EPs by Beta Band if it counts as an album.

    nominating "Fantasy Black Channel" from Late of The Pier. In the past 12 months no album has grabbed my attention as much as this album and I have heard a lot and some very good albums.

    Voted for Pulp. But, and excuse my High Fidelity moment here, isn't the album just "Different Class"?

    Because it's a lot better than Vampire Weeked!

    Surprised XTRMNTR only got 2 votes. :(

    With utter disgust i announce that the boatmans call finished second in the album of the week.

    To all the people that voted for it, i could urge you to listen to vampire weekend but i won't. Try pretty much any other album on the list.
