July 1, 201312 yr Am I the only person who prefers Halycon to Bright Lights? NO. Halycon is incredible while Lights/Bright Lights is pretty crap.
July 1, 201312 yr Author I don't think it's covered in the rules but are we allowed to put forward Greatest Hits/Singles Collection etc.? I ask because I'd nominate ABBA's "Gold" but I don't really know any of their individual albums well enough to put any of them forward, same with a couple more artists. If not I might use this as a chance to check out some of these albums that I'm not familiar with. Thanks for bringing that up - no to GH albums and I have put a note in the OP about that!
July 1, 201312 yr NO. Halycon is incredible while Lights/Bright Lights is pretty crap.But 'Bright Lights' has 'Believe Me' and 'The Writer', therefore it's already 10x better than 'Halcyon'. :) Will do this soon. Once I decide for myself what my cut off point (for myself) will be...

July 2, 201312 yr It's more "Ultimate Album", than "Ultimate Pop Album" :cry: Some suggestions are VERY FAR from pop genre (and even wasn't popular). Sample here : M.I.A "Arular" Genre : Worldbeat, electroclash, reggaeton, dancehall, alternative hip hop. It only reached number 98 on the UK Albums Chart and number 190 on the US Billboard 200. Can I count Blondie's debut album as pop ? Wikipedia : Genre : New wave, punk rock Edited July 2, 201312 yr by AlexRange
July 2, 201312 yr Oh my. What a mammoth task this will be! I'd have named Bad and then Confessions on a Dance Floor as the best off the top of my head, but i'll have a good think and come up with full noms eventually. EXQUISITE TASTE

Sample here : Can I count Blondie's debut album as pop ? Wikipedia : Genre : New wave, punk rock They don't have to be pop, you can nominate anything ^_^ It's called ultimate pop album because it's running in the pop forum basically, we didn't think it would get as much interest if we only allowed people to vote for pop albums.

OK. Don't want be rude or annoying, but Indie, Alternative and Specialist Forum had "Buzzjack's Alternative Album of the Century" voting in late 2012. http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=146872
July 2, 201312 yr We just wanted a 2013 version of this, but as the pop forum is a bit busier than the indie forum we wanted to take the opportunity to use that and have a huge competition like this, but the alternative voters might be out off it was just pop in the same way that pop voters might be out off by just alternative so we felt it's better to include everything!

July 2, 201312 yr I NEED TO CHANGE MY VOTES I have replaced Graduation with Original Pirate Material and I Am Sasha Fierce with Urban Hymns. (please say that I'm allowed to do this) I think Umi will be happy to allow one set of changes (as he is the one adding up the nominations), but no more than that.
