Get your nominations in!

Davros

Edit: Maybe if you add a few youtubes etc of tracks from the album to give people more of an idea to discover your nomination..

 

[Uncle Leo]

You happy to run this one Dave? I was going to do it in a few weeks time.

But seeing as you've kicked it off:

British Sea Power - "Do You Like Rock Music"

 

[Pubey]

I'll have Dear Science, by TV on the Radio

 

[Davros]

Dont mind running it mate, have to find something to fill the 'One to Start The Weekend' void in me schedule!

My Nomination (no matter how unlikely it is to win... and i doubt that anyone else on SZ would have listened to it... altho it was in the top 10 for 5 weeks!)...

Darren Styles - Skydivin'

Tricky one...

TVOTR is a good shout, but I don't think I like it as much as the last 2 records?

For me, I don't think any records have leaped out and grabbed my attention overly.

It'd be between:

**** Buttons - Street horssing
Portishead - Third
The Chap - Mega Breakfast
Boris - Smile
Neon neon - Stainless style
Hercules & Love affair - Self titled
Aidan Moffat - I can hear your heart
Cut Copy - In ghost colours

With I think the last winning it... Though I traditionally forget about the best contender until 5 minutes after voting ends.

I expect the new Kings Of Leon record will fare well here. And so it ought to; it's the first time I've thought: "These guys are pretty damn decent"

 

[Cricko]

"Adele 19" is my choice.

That is all.

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

It is a tough one, I don't think there's really been one standout album for me this year. Would be between....

Pete and the Pirates - Little Death
Conor Oberst - Conor Oberst
TV On The Radio - Dear Science
The Baseball Project - Vol1: Frozen Ropes & Dying Quails
No Age - Nouns
Portishead - Third
Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip - Angles
Roots Manuva - Slime & Reason
Saul Williams - The Inevitable Rise & Liberation of Niggy...
Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy - Lie Down In The Light
Hercules and Love Affair - Hercules and Love Affair
Cat Power - Jukebox
Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid
Neon Neon - Stainless Style

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

**** it. Conor Oberst it is. I'm so bloody predictable

 

[Ricey]

Kings of Leon - Only By The Night!
Pendulum - In Silico

 

[Cricko]

Good call on Elbow....Why did I forget that..:dim:

No Age - Nouns

I've tried really hard with this album, but I just don't get what the fuss is? Great artwork though!

Roots Manuva - Slime & Reason

Good shout mate, forgot that one!

Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid

Only this year realised how decent Elbow were / are. I'm trawling back through their past records now...

Radiohead - In Rainbows
Goldfrapp - Seventh Tree
Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - Angles
