[Kristen]

It's that time of year again to start voting in all those "best of" polls.

Here's one to get you started...

Best Album of 2006 (http://abc.net.au/triplej/kingsmill/)

[Liz]

[Madtwins]

[Daniel]

SOE

[Kacky]

Voted for State Of Emergency...obviously. :D

[Evil Chris]

Voted State Of Emergency. I think they'll do well. The Living End Have been on Triple Js Hottest 100 ten yrs in a row. Triple J listeners must like them lots.

[IntoTheRed]

Also voted. Has it really been 10 years in a row? I thought it was 7 or 8ish, but I'm most likely mistaken. A long time either way, and they have deserved such honours.

[hillaas]

Voted 2 more times.

[Daniel]

also voted 2 more times :D

[Evil Chris]

Also voted. Has it really been 10 years in a row? I thought it was 7 or 8ish, but I'm most likely mistaken. A long time either way, and they have deserved such honours.

[hillaas]

It will get in for sure.

I say about 30-60.

[Daniel]

[Liz]

Definetly Hilltop Hoods.

[Daniel]

Wolfmother?
Eskimoe Joe?

[Liz]

Actually there's no 'e' on Eskimo.
But yeah, probably Eskimo Joe, The Grates, Augie March.
Wolfmother's album was realised last year wasn't it?

[`Julia]

Yeah, i think it was

[Daniel]

not sure?

who else ooohh JeT?

[`Julia]

hmm... i think jet will do good

[Daniel]

Evermore...?

[Liz]

Hmm... maybe.
Evermore's gone a bit commercial this year though.
In fact, they're playing them on Channel V right now.

[private_eye]

are people forgetting international bands??? there were some huge releases this year, eg. muse, rhcp, afi...

for me its muse - black holes and revelations, closely followed by bob evans

Lupe Fiasco
Sarah Blasko (hoping for top 10 anyway)
The Grates
POSSIBLY The Streets

A few of them in the top 10 anyway

[Evil Chris]

what about Jet????
and eskimo joe????
Coheed in Cambria?

I didnt say Eskimoe Joe...because..its not that I dont like them its just...I hate them all.

[Daniel]

haha lol

Artic Monkeys will def get top 10 me thinks
Bob Dylan?

[Evil Chris]

I dont know about him. When he realeased Modern Times The First thing that came into my mind is....Does this mean hes not dead? All I have is the Essential.. Lovin It.

[Daniel]

bahhaa lol

i also thought he was dead and when modern times was realised i thought it was another greatest hits :p

[mel_bound]

I voted for SOE coz I think it's the only album from this year I've heard. I want Muse, Frenzal Rhomb and Anti-Flag's ones though (and interested in checking out The Matches), but I haven't heard them, and hence, am not going to vote for them.

[Jawn]

bahhaa lol

i also thought he was dead and when modern times was realised i thought it was another greatest hits :p

oh dear, the ignorance. He is one of the greatest songwriters ever.

Modern Times would be my favourite album release of the year. Either that or The Beatles- Love.

I don't think either will do well on a JJJ poll though.

[Evil Chris]

but love aint an album. Its a remix of such. Well maybe, I dont know.

[Jawn]

How is it not an album? Its pressed onto a CD, it contains music. Its an album.

[Evil Chris]

so you say a greatest hits is an album then? pfft. that is a bit lame calling a greatest hits good work. Its just a bunch of old reacordings chucked together.

[Liz]

I consider Greatest Hits albums to be albums.

[Evil Chris]

I call them Compilations.

[Liz]

Compilations to me are a like a Mix CD.
Like So Fresh and stuff like that.

[Evil Chris]

look on yeah they are also compilations. Compilations are a mixture of songs previously released. From the same artist or not. Albums are records with previously unreleased music. Well the majority of it anyway.

[Jawn]

You do realise that the major drawcard to "Love" was that it was new material, in that the songs were arranged and mixed in such a way that THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN HEARD BEFORE right?

Have you heard "Love"?

[Evil Chris]

Yeah, I dont really consider it an album though. Dont ask why cos I cant give an answer

[Daniel]

why :p

what the hell is LOVE the album?

[Evil Chris]

The Beatles New Release

[Julian]

Hhaha don't bother Jawn.

I voted for tle but The Black Keys - Magic Potion, Bob Evans - Surburban Songbook and SOE are pretty much even.

[Jawn]

I'm just flabbergasted that I managed to be misled into buying a CD that isn't even an album! Maybe I should put it in my CD-ROM drive and see if its actually a game.

[The Dying Start]

It is a game. But it would be in poor tast if i were to say that it's a first person shooter.

[Evil Chris]

No, its a sim.
