    Only 4 albums got 2 votes each so there are only 4 options to chose from.
    Thanks fully at least 3 of them are great albums (i don't know one)

    Enjoy.

    Le Rules:

    On this thread you can both vote for one of the above, and make a nomination for the subsequent Album of the Week.

    - Only ONE nomination per user, per week shall be accepted.
    - A nomination will not be accepted again for a subsequent three months.
    - You don't have to ask whether it's ok to nominate a particular album - once it's alt/indie, doesn't matter how old/obscure it is.

    So a Nomination now has to get a least 2 votes to be included in the Poll?

    Don't know any of the above besides the Smiths but i don't like them so not voting.

    Also, shouldn't this be #86


    What was that post about throwing toys out of the pram? Yeah.

    I decided that i wasn't having a poll of 15 or so albums with one vote, if right was right an album would need at least a certain number of votes to get a nomination.

    But yes it should be album number 86.

    Hmmm, tough choice between the smiths and spiritualized, but the smiths just barely edged it.

    EDIT: kinda regret not voting spiritualized now:o

    It's Hatful of Hollow and The World Won't Listen that aren't proper Smiths LP.

    Up is great though. Best REM album of the last six.

    No wouldn't even consider UP. And Im a REM fan. Was the first time I realized REM were in trouble. Far too many fillers on that album.

    It's a travesty of justice that Spiritualized aren't leading in the poll! It's an absolute masterpiece.

    Anyway nominating- Strangelove: Love and other demons.

    It's aged very well I'd say but that's helped by the markedly poor(er) subsequent albums. I do kinda like Reveal in Spring and there's some good songs on Around the Bum. It's probably a problem "big" famous bands get where no matter what they release it just ain't gonna be as good as their best.
