Can They Ever Be Dethroned?

   I think it could happen, but it's sort of one of those cyclical things ... those albums are the best known, so they get the most votes, but also because they are in the top 10, most newbies will check them out and so they'll just get more well known.
Earlier this year, Phideaux's Snowtorch broke the top ten briefly, so some modern acts are getting enough followers to create enough hype to compete. If one of these artists releases a truly classic release, it could happen.

	The top ten will likely stay the top ten simply because it is doubtful that any new artist will have not only high enough ratings (4.40+ average), but enough ratings (600+) in order to cement a place in the top ten.

	For as long as I have been coming to this site the top ten albums have been the same. Like the ten commandments, are they written in stone?? Is there any chance a new artist can break into the top ten and stay there? Who would it be? Is it really so progressive if nobody can come along and outdo the pioneers?
