Ho ho ho, it's Christmas time, and that means it's also that time of year where we all gather our thoughts, reflect on our purchases and rank your favourite albums of the year.

In the thread below, please list your TOP 5 albums of 2011 in order. (#1 being your favourite, naturally.) Should you choose not to rank them then each of your choices will be given an equal number of points.

It would be awfully appreciated if you could just list your albums in this thread and perhaps begin another to discuss them, as it's far easier for me to tally it all up that way.

Results will be out c. January 2nd.

So, guys and gals: get thinking and get voting.
