Yes, it's quite limiting that the forum software only supports two modes (one single vote or any number of (repeated) votes).

I went back to my collaborator list for this year and hit 6 of my top 7. I forgot my #1 album though (Chrome Hoof was #2) - Snacks by miRthkon! Whoops! Yeah, that was great.

I also apparently had " La Maschere di Clara" in position 8 and I don't even remember who they are. Listening to them for probably the first time in 12 years right now.

From the list, Chrome Hoof, what a wild album that was. I wish they had continued on. Really I wonder if Cuneiform maybe wasn't the best label for them, although it's how I discovered them and I did eventually consume their entire back catalogue because of this album so I'm glad they were there. Not much else like them out in the big wide world.

Other greats on the poll - Sigur Ros, Motorpsycho (one of my favourites by them), Birds and Buildings. And the only Steven Wilson album I can say I love, not just like and respect. Raven is my favourite song by him.

Outside this list, albums from this year I loved:

Clive Nolan - Alchemy - Take the cheese of prog rock, the cheese of broadway musicals, and combine them, you get this. I honestly don't know how large the audience for this kind of music, but I'm part of it. I've listened to a few of his other musicals but this one is his best one imo, and I still have songs from it in various playlists I listen to.

Goldfrapp - Tales of Us - This was actually my first Goldfrap, so stylistically I didn't realize it doesn't match her regular style. Just these great, spare, singer-songerwriter tracks about different people, very atmospheric and lovely. I've listened to a few of her other albums since this one and they're ok, but this one is my favourite.

Kishi Bashi - Lighght - Great violin driven indie music. One of his best. 

Leprous - Coal - The one that converted me to a fan.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Push The Sky Away - one of my favs by him, including two of my all time fav tracks by him, 'Jubilee Street' and 'Higgs Boson Blues'. But there is not a dull track on this one. I really like the way he uses his voice on some of the tracks.

Orphaned Land - All is One - I really love how melodic this album is, and how hard the emotions hit because of that. 'Children' and 'All is One' are my fav tracks.

From the list I went Motorpsycho. Kind of an odd year for me with a few psychedelic records standing out for me at the top. Like...
Monomyth- s/t
Pyramidal- Frozen Galaxies
Papir/Electric Moon- Papermoon Sessions

Album of the year for me is Caillou's debut. And Grand General's debut is also right near the top.
