Apologies if I've spelt the title of anybody's fave album wrong. Also, congratulations to Broken Social Scene who have made the Top 50 two years running with the same album! Something to do with different release dates in the US and UK I'm guessing.
Once again, thanks to everybody who voted (all 131 of you). Obviously I'm going to be checking out some of these that I don't own. Hopefully I can find something as good as Alligator or The Mysterious Production of Eggs which I bought as a result of last years list. I'm already drawn to The Trials of van Occupanther but that just because of the title.
