Now then, now then, guys 'n' gals, it's time for another poll, this time of a musical nature!

So get your headphones on, sharpen your pencils and start compiling those lists, because it's The Spaced Out Ultimate Albums of the Nineties Poll!

Rules are as follows:

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW CAREFULLY BEFORE SENDING ME YOUR VOTES!

Simply PM me your top ten twenty albums - in order of preference - before midnight on Friday 16th January.

- Comments on your choices are welcome, and may be posted with the final results.

Oooh! Decisions, decisions. Do I pick and album from each year? One from 10 great acts? Or shall I just list the Nick Cave albums for that decade and pad out the rest?

I like it Ade. Good job.

[Ade]

Cheers dude.


I'm going to find this nigh on impossible to say the least. I drafted a Top 15 almost immediately after I got to work at some ungodly hour this morning. That will easily bloat to Top 30 once I get home, with all the additional "but what about such-and-such?" shenanigans.

Good grief.

Don't forget Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine people. I am serious. Don't forget them

Damn, 1991 alone has nearly filled my list. I've not even reached the Brit Pop or Trip Hop years

This should be quite challenging since most of my favourite albums are from the last ten years or pre-1990. Looking through my collection could throw up some surprises.

I think you'll surprise yourself.

Mine will probably be quite standard, actually, since I only started buying music in 2002, so my buying has largely about getting the ''big'' albums rather than stumbling across lesser known acts.

If Nirvana win I'm going on a rampage

I suspect that I am going to struggle to get to ten, and that they will all be depressingly mainstream!

That'll be fun to watch.

London would be in ruins as I storm the streets wearing a Mudhoney t-shirt, screaming Senseless Things lyrics.

I've narrowed my selection down to 14. I can't see how it's possible to bring it down to 10. - Can I submit a top 14 albums??

I guess I'll just try & order them & see what ends up at the bottom.

That's pretty good going. This is going to take me the full month I think.

[Sostie]

I've narrowed mine down to about 30 and I'm up to 1994!

Number one should be easy for me as my second favourite album ever falls under this decade.
