It’s how I like it. 😎
Normal service is resumed.
Many thanks, Richard 👍 for continuing with this.
Either my taste is getting to close to mainstream or, as I believe, there are a lot of people with great music taste that vote in your poll.
Great stuff as always Mr S & a happy new year to you & yours.

Thanks as ever for your time and effort! 👏👏
The massive number of nominations for any recent years incl 2024, merely reflects the lack of received wisdom which limits the choices re the 50s to 90’s. There was a huge amount of brilliant music then too but people listen narrowly..
Listened to Einsturzende Neubauten on my way to Standish this afternoon. My first thought was 'you expected other people to vote for this?' That's not to say I thought it was awful tho.
On to the next poll! 👍
And a very worthy winner. Just missed out on my top five, but that just shows what a great year 2024 was for new releases.
Here's to more of the same in 2025.

Weirdly happy with my 3/5 in the top 28 and 2 non-placers x 🙌
no surprises about the top spot
its always interesting to see what's out there that I've missed
given 4 of my 5 are outside the top 187
and only 13 out of the 40 2024 I bought are in the top 200
ive a fair few to now find
Ta
Thanks again for all the hard work you put in to these polls and providing a focus for us all to share and enjoy
Cheers
Cheers!
The right winner, but was I the only one to give any votes to Deadletter?
I need to get off my lazy arse and listen to the whole of the Cure album, something I've been meaning to do for months!
Happy New Year, i hope 2025 is good to you.
Disappointed nobody heard The Family Grave album. It comes highly recommended by those in the know 😂
Happy New Year to you and your family mate.
Thanks again and Happy New Year to you x
Only 1 top 100 & 4 top 200. Sadly, Samana didn’t make the cut, but it’s a gorgeous baroque album & a shame it’s not achieved the cut-through it deserves. See you in the 70s!
But great to see @billryderjones.bsky.social at number 3🙏
Looking forward to the next challenge 👍
Great showing from Sprints
