So another of these, this time for 2021.

The poll is comprised of three main sections, plus an "other" space for voting:

- Section One is the top eight albums from PA's 2021 chart.
- Section Two is taken from the top 10 Collab Album of the Year list. Top ten because two if its top eight are in the Pan top 8 albums chart for 2021.
- Section Three is highlighting eight of my nine top albums at the AwesomeProg chart. black midi is not listed in my poll choices because it is listed in the previous Collab AOTY chart.
- For "other", please use if you are not much enthused by and/or know albums in the poll. If using other, please specify a favourite album that you are voting for in a post. And to any participating, mentioning others you like is appreciated. I am interested to know what people like on AND off the list, and it can help spread the word and connected one with others who appreciate the same.

Please mention as many as you like. Feel free to vote with limited familiarity. Please consider voting for one in the poll even if it is not your absolute favourite and then mention that and your actual favourite or favourites in a post. No multiple choice again.

Notes: Tapfret did an amazing job organising the Collab album of the Year for 2021. Most unfortunately, feel terrible about it, when it was suggested that I unsticky past lists due to needing to scroll down as much as one did in the Top ten Lists forum because of having so many stickies (done this many times over the past 16 years), I had some issue and the usual way that would not involve editing a post was unavailable (at least in the browsers I tried with my settings) So I edited the post and it became unreadable and full of code (an issue with the post editor). I should try to fix that as best I can as it's my fault. Luckily he also provided a list on google-drive, which is what I linked to earlier.

I had not expected to see black midi's Cavalcade, which is number two on the collab list and two in my list, down at number 76 for PA's top albums of 2021.

Here is my top 20 list at AP for 2021 which I put up there today.

Alco Frisbass. The mumbling subroutine only likes integers, so I sent it a noun and now the Earth isn't there anymore.

This was the first year I took part in PA's album of the year (still collabs at the time). The pool from which to vote here is Ske, Needlepoint,Jordsjo, Lingua Ignota, Black Country, New Road, Squid. Very hard to choose between these. I think I pick Ske today.
