absolutely hard, but I have voted

by **biscuits** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 5:58 pm

This is going to take a while.

If Britney ends up at #1... :evil:

by **Lemo** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:24 pm

I haven't heard of all of these albums but I will vote

She's winning so far 8-)

Britney...? meh. :roll:

I hope rubbish music takes a back seat for once.

by **FreakyFlyBry** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:37 pm

Good list overall, will likely be voting soon

Is that because nick is the only who who has voted? :lol:

by **Star** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:55 pm

Possibly

Get your votes in! :wink:

That was...harsh. :-?

Anyway, most likely a Mariah album will come out on top. It'll take some time to get my list together, but at least I'm sure what my #1 will be. 8-)

Even though there are there more Britney fans than lambs on the site, most of us regard Brit Brit's debut album as one of (if not the) weakest records of her career whereas for many lambs MiMi was at her peak in the 90's.

I guess I shouldn't have made Mariah's victory sound so clear-cut, though. She's still got to beat Madge, Janet, and Whitney, but I feel that of the four, she statistically has the better chance (as a result of releasing more albums in the 90's than the other women and consequently having more albums nominated than any other act) and because she has the largest (visible) fanbase here of the four.

by **Wardo** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 10:25 pm

Britney and Mariah don't even touch the greatness of many listed albums.

However, they're going to top this, of course.

Maybe but I'd like to see some great albums do well for a change that's all, it's always the same old suspects that do well regardless of how good it is but because of the stan bases. :wink:

Well, "great albums" is really a very subjective term, but I totally get where you're coming from and can understand your frustration. It must be maddening to see your fave acts always place below artists you despise.

Wow...

...this is going to really hard.

I'm making sure I listen to each and every album and let me tell you...

People really made a lot of good music back in the '90s.

Star, you're going to be very surprised by my Top 10...
