Today's Subjects: ----------------- ET: 4th Annual EDA Album Of The Year Poll ["Mr. Moon" Subject: ET: 4th Annual EDA Album Of The Year Poll Well it's that time of year again, when it makes sense to look back at the year that's passed and reflect on your favorite music for the past 12 months. First of, I was recently asked if I am planning to do another poll this year and how come they received no results for the last year poll. Well I looked into it and would like to send my apologies to those who participated last year and have not received the results. Some of you may remember that I had e-mail problems last year and I guess that resulted in some people not receiving a reply, even though I know many did. Anyways, if you'd like the results, let me know. Now to this year's poll. Since this is a EDA list, it's safe to say we have a strong candidate for #1, particularly if we consider that Spirit won in 1998 and 1999 (was really close though). Last year however, Dido swept the competition including Jewel's Joy. So we shall see what happens. It's easy to make your opinion and taste count: 1. Those of you who participated before already know the rules, but here's a quick reminder: - Send me a list of your favourite albums this year. - You can list any number of albums... you can list 1 or 100... but - only the first 20 (or less if there aren't even 20) will count. - It is REALLY IMPORTANT that you put them in the order of preference since it makes a big difference if an album is listed as #1 or as #20. - Every album must have a release date either in 2000 or 2001. - send your charts to romeantic@email.si Some of you music enthusiasts like to take your time and give insightful comments along with the votes!!! I love that... especially for the music I don't have and it makes me wanna check some of those albums - usually they sound mighty intriguing! 2. For those of you who are new to this here are extensive guidelines and rules. - --------- HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IF YOU WANT TO VOTE: ----------- 1. Send me an e-mail with your favorite albums of the past year! 2. It is REALLY IMPORTANT to send the list in the order of your preference... because it makes a huge difference if you put an album in the 1st or 20th slot!!! I know the order can be particularly difficult... but approximate the best you can. 3. And remember ONLY albums released in 2000 and 2001 are eligible for this!!! So you CAN'T vote for albums like: - Yourself Or Someone Like You - Matchbox 20... - Spirit - Jewel - Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morissette - The Wallflowers - Bringing Down The Horse etc... If you don't know what year the album was released just asked me or include it in the list and I'll notify you if everything wasn't OK. 4. However if there are some resonable circumstances I'm willing to make exceptions for albums released earlier, you just have to write the reason along with the vote... and I'll check it out. This is particularly for albums released a while ago that got their big breakthrough this year. 5. You don't have to send the list of 20 albums. If you send more I will only consider first 20 and if you can't think of 20 titles you can always write what you can think of now and in case you think of more you can send me the rest later. If you can't think of the album title or something don't worry just send a brief description... like: the latest album by ???, or the one containing XYZ song. I'm not saying I know everything - but I'm pretty much into this and so far it wasn't hard to solve the "riddles" :)) 6. Of course voting is open til January 10th!!! 7. --> The address to vote to is: romeantic@email.si 8. No e-mail address or voter's name will be passed along to the SPAM-O-MANIA or CHAIN-ME-HAPPY mailing lists. For the best in spam and chain letters you have to be good and work hard throughout the year and who knows I might subscribe you for your birthday! 9. Only residents of the 3rd rock from the sun are eligible to enter this poll, and it must be sent from a terminal on this planet. and 10. If you don't vote you have no right to send me hate mail!!! --------------------- MAY THE BEST ALBUM WIN -------------------------- That's it! I can't wait for your votes... so if you'd like to see your favorite album among the best of the year... send in your votes... the more of you participate the more ballanced and "accurate" the chart gets... That's it... if you have any further QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS... don't hesitate to e-mail me... if I think of something else that needs to be said I'll send an update... and I will post reminders in the next weeks. Let the voting begin - -- Have fun and stay beautiful Dr. RomeAntic, an angel with the worst stroke of luck and a flash of revelation "Heaven's kinda far but I swear that when I'm coming it's close Cuz we sin so well Lead us not into temptation Oh, but what a way to go!"
