Allelujah



Here are the results of the annual @lpgrp poll to find its Album of the Year. The good folk of @lpgrp were asked to vote for five albums and, from that list of five, choose one favourite. The ‘favourites’ gained three points; the other selections each gained a single point. Remarkably, 162 different albums gained votes.

This is the Top 25. If scores were the same, preference was given to albums with more ‘first choice’ votes. There are two numbers in brackets. The first number is the final score while the second number – marked with ‘*’ – indicates the number of ‘first choice’ votes attained. 

The winning album, Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s  Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend! will be played communally at 9pm, Sunday 6th January 2013.
