Post by: KevShmev on July 12, 2011, 10:29:12 AM: I was surprised when I saw how weak this year was. I mean, The Wall is one of my all-time favorites, but when one of LZ's least popular albums (one that isn't even that loved in the first place) finishes tied for 3rd place, that says a lot.

Kev, are you going to continue this into the eighties, or maybe do a best of the seventies with the ten winners?

Post by: Ravenheart on July 12, 2011, 05:17:43 PM: I'd really like there to be one of these for the 80s.

Both. I am still figuring out what format I will do for the 70s winners, but I definitely plan on doing the 80s! :metal

That's because there aren't enough Zappa fans here :p
