So Selling England by the Pound is back on top, how long do you think this will last?

That really depends on what a CTTE is. You internet folks are a nice enough lot, but ya abbreviate too damn much...

it wont last long. some yes fanatics will just dish out some 1-2 star ratings to drop the rating of selling england..
it happens all the time something unconventional enters a new high in the top 100 ranking of this site (eg scenes from a memory, for the love of art... and generally most new albums that gain some recognition for being extraordinary good).

 CTTE= Close to the Edge by Yes.
Close to the edge and Selling England by the pound tend to fight for the top spot in our chart on the home page.

Well, that's just because my diabolical plan hasn't been enacted yet...whatever that is.
So, those are the best, eh? Excellent; they're both on my "to listen to" list.

Rico, you're perfectly right, and I think one of those two threads is superfluous. So, watch out for the now-notorious Threadminatrix on the prowl again!

I choose 2-3 days. But it really depends on YES hardcore fans giving bad ratings to Selling england and some 10 -5- stars to "Close" with the same meaningless texts full of words like "Great", "Piece of art", "superb". As it just happened before. Lately they seem to have been very busy getting the awful and cacophonic, ultra repetitive Relayer up in the chart and may have forgotten to keep Close to the edge on top.
That reminds me of the classic soccer team with high support from the media in every league (Manchester, Real Madrid, Milan, Juve, Boca Juniors). Who may be playing crap, but still the media keep calling them the favourite match after match.

SEBTP should not be No1.
It belongs to the top 30 at best IMHO.
Foxtrot would deserve to be #1, although I don't think that these lists are very important.

To be honest, none of the albums in the top 10 should be number one.
Btw I have never understood what everyone sees in Genesis.

Someone must care, otherwise there wouldnt be polls about it
I think its important as visitors(not members) coming to the site will see what we hold as most cherished.
