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.

The Wall

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

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

Unleashed easily. The Wall is boring and overrated to me but I'm not a Floyd fan.
