idk whether to listen to all the songs in advance or just vote the ones i know (which would probs be 40 at the most lmao so automatic votes all round)
I'll try to wait until you've put all the links you can in. There are some names on there that I should have listened to and would like to.

I am torn. Born to Die is one of my favourite songs on the list but imagine if we all voted for it and it won the rate - it would then be THE song of 2011 but it wont have been released until 2012. I'm uncomfortable with this situation.

:wub: I was addicted to 'No Love' but really overplayed it. Still a great song though obviously.

Also just realised St. Lucia - We Got It Wrong and Air France - It Feels Good To Be Around You were ROBBED of nomination. Silly me.
I'm expecting Ben Howard to finish quite high on this as he seems to have quite the little fanbase. "This is a bit too Gooddelta for me" is what I tend to think whenever I listen to his album!

I think it's time to put away most of my top 10 for a while for precisely that reason. Flames has already suffered from that (there ONCE was a time when it was miles ahead of No Love.) Hate it when that happens :(

Wonderful, I will vote later on.

 

I was thinking about doing something similar to this with albums after you finish Mark unless you were thinking of doing something similar? (:
