View Full Version : Best Albums Of 2002 Mid-Year Poll - Top 41 Now In Place! Voting Ended Here!!
As the previous thread (http://thedvdforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=98882) went very very mad with arguments about what constituted an album released in 2002. After discussion with Mullethead I'm starting it again with a clear set of rules from the outset:
1) Must be released this year in the UK (not re-released or imported or downloaded from the web);
2) Must not be a compilation, best of or live album;
3) People must vote for 10 (or less) albums in order of how much they like them (with 10 points given for #1, 9 for number #2. Trust me, from experience this makes the scores spread out and you don't have the problem of having 16 albums in joint 5th place);
4) Must not be a single;
If people have voted in the other thread can you please cut and paste your votes into this thread, I will then tally them up in my magic spreadsheet and produce theDVDforums mid-way-2002 favourite album list.
Let's try and keep this as a list of albums and not a massive debate about what constitutes a 2002 release.

Opps, sorry about that I must have missed it, but your scores are in and the chart has been updated.
Hmm, I seem to have only four albums that came out this year, but for what it's worth here they are in my order of preference:
1. Doves - Last Broadcast
2. Counting Crows - Hard Candy
3. Moby - 18
4. Belle & Sebastian - Storytelling
Okay, phlebas they are in, keep voting people....

lol, :p
I just realised that those 10 albums are the only 10 new albums i've bought this year. Everything else has been back catalogue or released late last year.
Which is nice.... :D
I'm working on my top ten at the moment but is there any specific reason why we can't include Live/Soundtrack CDs.
I can see why a best of or a compilation of previously released tracks arn't allowed but if someone wants to include a soundtrack like Spiderman or a live album in their top ten of the year there should be no reason why they can't?

Can you swap it for something else please... (in your list that is I don't want you to take it back to the shop).
OK I've edited my top ten.
Also you never said why Live/Soundtrack CDs are not allowed.

Soundtracks are okay as long as they are all by one artist like the Badly Drawn Boy or Belle and Sebastian albums this year but the spiderman soundtrack from multiple artists does not count, live albums are not allowed as they are compilations (even though the songs are in a different form), I'm using the same rules that most music magazines use if they ask you to vote for albums for their end of year polls. I hope that's clear, I just to do things in a standard way.
Thanks for your votes Bish.
It's getting to be quite a respectable list now.

22-07-2002, 22:04
I can see Adges point - there are some tracks on the Spider-Man soundtrack which have appeared on other albums (Jerry Cantrell's contribution) so it could be classed as a sort of compilation.

22-07-2002, 22:06
My list, Im sure it will change tomorrow, but hey :)
1) Doves - The Last Broadcast
2) Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - B.R.M.C
3) Electric Soft Parade - Holes in the wall
4) Sonic Youth - Murray Street

7) Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way
Arch Stanton
22-07-2002, 22:07
...and the Spider-man soundtracks crap so it dosen't really belong in any best of list's.
( My own opinion of course:) )
Compilations don't get into the regular music charts (unless you shop at safeway) so they don't get into ours!! But I don't want to get into a debate on the subject, I'm the doorman and they're not coming in :p !!
Anyway, more people vote......
1) Alice - Tom Waits
2) Untouchables - Korn
3) Original Pirate Material - The Streets
4) Heathen Chemistry - Oasis
5) Walking With Thee - Clinic
6) Vapor Trails - Rush
7) Handcream For A Generation - Cornerhshop
8) Fischerspooner #1 - Fischerspooner
9) Storytelling - Belle And Sebastian
10) Blood Money - Tom Waits
all stupendous stuff!

Sorry, I meant various artists compilations don't appear in the weekly charts, should have been more clear. But neither appear in album of the year polls.
New votes for beetle and Nujol added in and amendments for Disappearer and Pisces Iscariot move us to a much nicer spread of votes giving us a top 20 now.

Has Geddy Lee's helium supply not run out yet?? Ah well each to their own....which is what this list's all about!

2. BRMC - BRMC.
3. The Hives - Your favourite New Band

That was released in October last year and is a compilation of tracks from Veni Vidi Vicious and Barely Legal (with a few others thrown in for good measure). So it fails on both counts, sorry.

Don't worry, you're not alone. I think the fact that we've only had 24 people voting from the entire forum shows how few people are actually interested in new bands and new music.

So YOU sir are a God :notworthy
I hoped this list would persuade people to listen to and buy albums by new artists, I think the top 20 is a very good selection and it's certainly got me interested in a few new artists which I'm going to listen to soon.
I just hope we can get some more votes.

Perhaps just a best songs of 2002, then it would be a bit easier to select tracks from these bands and songs like Corey Taylors Bother could be in it :)

That is indeed 'Do you realise'. 5th August is a good week for Singles because the new Coldplay track 'In my place' is out that week as is the 'Catch', the third single by 'Leaves', as is the debut Sondre Lerche single and I'm sure there was one or two others that caught my eye for that week.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo.......
Seriously though you'll get a really flat chart (and a massive spreadsheet for me) as people will vote for such a wide variety of stuff......
I'll do the mid-way albums and the end of year albums (just so I can say down three places to number 6 it's ..... And a new entry at number 9 in my Bruno Brookes styleeee).

You are going to hate me but...
Official release date for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - B. R. M. C is 17th December 2001 - i.e. not eligible :(

That was a sort of sneaky, unofficial release to combat the imports of the album that were appearing across the country. It's official release was in January.
So it's staying in based on that.

On second thoughts, Pisces is right. A poll for best album of the year will prove much more popular in early December. It's only 4 and a bit months away.

Oh yeah, this mid-year poll was just to see what was popular now and see what had changed by the end of the year, bloomin' good idea by mullethead too (I just took it on as I have the spreadsheets to work it all out quickly as I used to do this for a music magazine many years ago plus the other thread went a bit mad!! (I AM THE MASTER OF THE LIST!!))

Ahhhh, I see I was confused, go for it mate (I'll look forward to voting) I'll do the albums and you do the individual songs at the end of the year! I think it's worth making people order their votes (so you score higher for higher places) as else you get a really really flat list with 25 things in first place which is a bit odd!
If you want a copy of my magic spreadsheet in December let me know and I'll send it your way.
Adge, I appreciate the effort you're putting in, but shouldn't albums which share a position mean that the album below them loses positions, ie, u have 22 albums in a top 20 list!

I know, it is a dodgy way of doing it (I normally do it the way you mentioned) but for this list I wanted more items in it to make it more interesting for the moment. As more votes come in the double places disappear anyway (which Is why i've forced people to vote in order).

Hmmmm, maybe nc's right as The Streets is #1 in my list (as it's fantastic I normally loath garage but it's just so amazing, anyone who's not heard the whole album I suggest it's worth a listen).. But no as the listmaster I must not be bias!! :) (actually if anyone listens to anything on my list out of interest please check out Mclusky they are a great new band).

My 9 year old cousin bought Nirvana - Nevermind this year as he first heard of them, can he vote for that ;) ?
Oasis added to your list and the top 20 (or 25) has been updated.

Very very well said! Totally agree with you, just because a lot of good stuff is underground does not mean it does not exist....
I'm going to update the chart tomorrow as I've been on a semi-leo today so I know I'll just make a lash of my spreadsheet.

White stripes was not released this year and The Charlatans album is a compliation of B-sides and therefore not elligable. Can you please swap votes 7 and 9. Sorry to be a pain but rules are rules.
and if u want to be a pedant the yeah yeah yeah's record is an EP not an LP and the kosheen album was released last year :dork:

There's only 8 of the 25 highest voted albums so far, that I've not listened to in full. I think I'll have to make a point of doing so, over the next few days.
Speaking of EP's you looking forward to the Dillinger escape plans next one with Mike Patton, im certain that will be on my list come the end of the year :clap:

At the start of the year I got drawn into the hype and the first few songs were okay, but then they got so mediocre it was untrue, so I'm glad not to see them here too.

I've never really liked them, they are alright to have a dance to in a club but that's about it. I think I was really put off by a guy in my student house being really annoying and really into them.... Although I do quite like Scar Tissue but that's about it....

I think it's best to keep with Mulletheads original intention of doing it now and then freezing it and seeing how things have changed by the end of the year (otherwise I'll be making minor adjustments to the spreadsheet every 5 minutes).....
I'll keep the spreadsheet safe and then at the end of the year I'll start a albums of the year thread then compare votes and put on a Bruno Brookes voice and say "Moving up three places it's........."
So what does everyone predict will be there fave at the end of the year?

Voting ends 9am tomorrow, then the list will be final and set in stone (as The Coral is also out tomorrow and I expect I may want to change my list too)....
I'll then publish every album in the final warts and all list (although I'll be at work so I may have to do it in the evening).
Voting has now ended!
The final list is in my first post.
My Soundtrack of Our Lives album arrived today along with The Coral.
I'm glad The Flaming Lips did so well in the poll, in fact the whole chart is overall pretty respectable, does show what great music taste people have on these forums.
Thanks for everyone who voted hoped you enjoyed voting as much as I enjoyed doing it and I also hope it's inspired some of you to invest in some new albums based upon other forum member choices (like my investment in Soundtrack of Our Lives).
I guess the chart is up for debate now, what does everyone else think of our final list?

I'd vote, but I just haven't been too excited by the albums so far this year. DJ Shadow, The Flaming Lips, Electric Soft Parade, Doves and Badly Drawn Boy have all been good, but not quite mind-blowing. (If I had to pick a favourite, it would be DJ Shadow.) David Holmes' Come Get It I Got It is also a fine listen, but I'd class it as a compilation, so I don't see how can it be eligible here.
One suspects the potentially best albums this year are still to come - Primal Scream and Death In Vegas -, and it would be nice if Suede can get back to the quality of their first two records.
You've done a grand job there Adge, well done! :)

Thanks, I enjoyed doing it.. I've bought some albums as a result of it, so it's all been good...
I'll keep this thread and the list safe then at the end of the year I'll re-compile the list and we'll see who the movers and shakers are.....
Hopefully...
[Mark Goodier]Up 35 Places to Number 1 it's Aim with his second album, the musical wonderland that is Hinterland[/Mark Goodier]
...although I didn't vote it No.1 so can't really complain.
I predict that the RHCP will have the staying power over Doves, but watch for new material from Suede, possibly Radiohead and a few others too.
I'm raising this from the dead to remind you all, that I will soon be starting the albums of the year poll (so you can look at what you voted for mid-year and start thinking about your top ten for the year as a whole (and remember the rules from page one)) BUT DON'T VOTE NOW THE LINES AREN'T OPEN!!!!
I'll probably start it early December as as far as I can tell there's nothing interesting due for release that month other than "The Best Christmas Album In The World Ever" ad infinitum...
So, get your thinking caps on as Im preparing my special spreadsheets for some big voting!! Will The Doves be knocked off their mid-year number one slot???
REMEMBER DON'T VOTE NOW THE LINES AREN'T OPEN!!!!
THIS IS JUST AN EARLY WARNING
Well I missed the voting on this pone but will deffo vote on the end of year one.
It's gonna be a toughy though as I've just done up a quick list from memory and there are already 12 albums on it all of which I want in my final ten. Decisions Decisons
Best dig out all the albums i bought that came out this year then. I know for a fact alot of the albums in my earlyer top 10 wont be there by a long mile :nuts:
And after buying The Doves after this vote, i must say theres got to be a better album now, sorry :nono:

Disappearer
1. The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
2. Cooper Temple Clause - See This Through And Leave
3. Doves - The Last Broadcast
4. Gemma Hayes - Night On My Side
5. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - BMRC
6. The Vines - Highly Evolved
7. The Notwist - Neon Golden
8. Oasis - Heathen Chemistry
9. Eminem - The Eminem Show
10. Electric Soft Parade - Holes In The Wall
What the hell was I thinking?!? :confused: :lol:
But seriously, I know some of these definitely won't be in my Top 10 anymore, but some of them definitely will, although not necessarily in the same order.
Looking at my list from July.
Ok, the best are.... and favoured order.:)
01. Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
02. Moby - 18
03. Soundtrack Of Our Lives - Behind The Music
04. Doves - Last Broadcast
05. Badly Drawn Boy - About a boy OST
and some other notable mentions for which I don't expect to be in the final years Top 10....
06. LHB - Tell 'Em Who We Are
07. Faultline - Your Love Means Everything
08. Seafood - When Do We Start Fighting... / Coursework
09. DJ Shadow - Private Press
10. Remy Zero - Golden Hum
My then Top 5 will still likely make the revised Top 10, though not neccessarily in that order, but positions 6-10 will be gone.... just as I thought.
I think 4 or 5 may make it from my mid table list.
Hmmm MR MOBY, DJ Shadow will be going UP in my list now, cracking album. :)

As a reminder for the final poll of the year which Adge has just started

Title changed a bit to avoid confusion with other thread.

Adge you see to have confused yourself with two spellings of Alanis' surname so myabe you should add the two togther. Not that it will make much difference is it 's hardly going to send her flying to the top but if we're gonna do it "we might as well do it right." :D
Oh and you managed to spell Morissette wrong in both of them. :lol:

DOH!!
The spreadsheet for the end of year poll is a little different as I sort by name order to prevent this sort of thing happening.
Plus no-one has voted for Miss.Morsrrissertsse this year!!

As we're now halfway through the year I was going to start a new thread for our favourite albums so far this year, but then I remembered the trouble I had last time!!
Adge, as our resident list Maestro, would you be so kind as to do the honours again this year please mate?
