Kevin Doyle" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] LoudFans 2008 Poll Results Thank you for doing this, Glenn. As always, my first response to this is always "Oh yeah, I totally forgot about..." In this case, I forgot about one of my favorite albums of the year, 'Exotic Creatures of the Deep.' There's another album I would have bumped off my list in favor of that in retrospect, but why rewrite history. :D Thanks again!

The album I listened to most, though, was the Individuals reissue.

So if I'm understanding, Veda Hille and Cloud Cult, with two votes each, got them from the same two people. One was me. Is it okay for me to ask who was the other, and what other albums that person voted for? I'd take the votes as recommendations, I think.... curiously, - - Brian
