alright. email your lists to cactuscafetop10@gmail.com. the format is same as it always is: 1st=10pts 2nd=9pts 3rd=8pts 4th=7pts etc. Albums of every genre are welcome, but there are some rules. NO GREATEST HITS, COMPILATIONS, OR LIVE ALBUMS. EP's are welcomed. If you send a list that has one of the above on it, you will be publically chastised for not reading the rules and your list that you worked all of 5 minutes on will become null and void. Bottlecap has the password to the gmail account and will check up on the final list to quell rumors that I dont really take the votes into consideration rather just make it up as i go along. Take some time with your list, and only submit it once. Multiple lists will not be counted and if you send more than one, once again, publically chasitsed, null and void, etc. The likes of Kasabian, the Bravery or my chemical shitpants will also void your list immediately. just kidding, but dont do it. Post your lists in this thread if you want to, or dont, i wont be posting everyones when it is finished. I will have the final results up sometime after the first of the year. Thats it. Have fun and good luck. Even though you dont win anything. EDIT: YOUR LIST DOES NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE TEN ALBUMS, BUT IT CAN ONLY BE TEN. NOT 11 OR 12, BUT 5 IS OK. I WILL EVEN TAKE 6.
