Aoty 2023 Results Discussion

Judging by the recent posts it looks as if Agusa is making a late bid for the top spot. 'Voter rigging' as suggested by Sean Trane ( and I knocked down as not real) could actually be a thing here? I do wonder if there is an argument for not accepting 'late' lists that do not have at least 20 artist selections?! My reasoning is that it may be convenient to not give points to certain artists. I would at least like to see all the potential points scoring positions filled. That is my personal opinion.

Thanks, Mike for all your hard work on this. Such a success. And Michael Gira (of Swans) is preparing his acceptance speech just in case. While I would love to see Swans take this, as they almost say, "The Beggar can't be a chooser". That said, I did choose The Beggar as my album of the year.... Really, I'm happy with the list and don't really care who comes out on top. It's great to see so many participants, people sharing what they care about, and I have more albums to discover from the lists. Hopefully people keep refining and adding even after the deadline.
