Best & Worst of 2005.

Voting will close around the 9th of December for everyone, unless this topic just dies and no one else votes. Then I'll get the 2nd round up as soon as I can....

ADDED IN NEW TOPIC! "COUNTRY ALBUM" so if you'd like to vote for that just make a new post voting for it. Also, if you change your votes, they won't be changed as I will have already counted them! But, if you'd like to vote for ones that you didn't vote for in the first place, just make another post with those ones in it. Please also try and vote for 'best' and 'worst' cause most are only voting for best! We need both! THANKS!

So I was just filling out a survey thingy about the best and worst of 2005 and remembered that this was done last year, so I used the topics from last year and added in a few more so we can find out our opinions on the best and worst from this year.

So there's been a lot of releases in 2005, right? And I'm not really up to date with all of them, so, for a start to this little thing, could everyone just fill this out with your opinions and PM it to me, or for now you can even just post it here if you prefer. After that, I will then select the most popular 5 or maybe more if there are ties and that and then get you all to vote again to find the most popular ones for 2005.

If there is any questions, ask away. If you can't think of one for a topic, just leave it, I'm sure others will think of something.

So yep, that's pretty much all from me for now. Hopefully you understand what I'm on about...

and remember, 2005! RELEASES FROM 2005! No other years, ok? haha, thanks.

Just a question, is this supposed to be based on popularity and mainstream appeal, or our opinion of good music.

Because let's say for instance, breakthrough artist. Well, Mike Jones did really well this year popularity and sales-wise, but I wouldn't consider him to a breakthrough artist as far as musical-inclination.

 

It's all about your opinion. What fun would it be if it was about popularity and who sold x amount of albums?
