Western Naarm. He's a twentieth century boy
That must be close to the biggest win in one of these

Dammit, somehow I missed Rodriguez

This is approaching 1990s levels of difficulty.

3. Just As I Am
2. Tapestry
1. Pieces of a Man

In any other year, votes would go to Funkadelic, Harry Nilsson, Nick Drake, Led Zep and Marvin Gaye. Can't believe those last two in particular get no votes. Petition for 6 monthly brackets from now on

3. Songs in The Key of Life
2. Silk Degrees
1. The Royal Scam

Steely Dan's perhaps weakest album still getting among the votes might tell you how my 70s votes are largely going to go. Apols to ACDC, Queen, Stones, Bowie, Herbert and Warren Z

3. Demon Days
2. Elephant
1. Since I Left You

Some good Australian albums missing out here, especially Silverchair, SFK, JBT and YAI. Amy Winehouse and QOTSA also were in the mix, but hard to go past Damon's virtual band, Jack and Meg's real marriage, and whatever the Avalanches did to make music

3. Speakerboxx/The Love Below
2. Chutes Too Narrow
1. Elephant

Calling for a Royal Commission if Outkast do not win this

A Brisbane win also means the AFLW, AFLM, NRLW and NRLM premiers in 2025 are all Brisbane, which is not a bad record to have

Should have used the Oxford comma there, though I wouldn't mind seeing 'Jarvis and the Roots' perform
November 26, 2025 at 11:16 PM
3. Back to Black
2. The Greatest
1. Drowning in the Fountain of Youth

Lily Allen very, very unlucky to miss the votes; apologies also to the Hilltop Hoods, Arctic Monkeys, Gnarls Barkley, Jarvis and the Roots
November 26, 2025 at 11:14 PM
3. Songs for the Deaf
2. Diorama
1. Paging Mr Strike

Honorable mentions to Badly Drawn Boy (two albums splitting the votes), Norah Jones (look, that album was everywhere), Flaming Lips, You Am I and the Man in Black

Good old Catholicism forever

I always assumed the names were a pun on 'kith and kin' (from the tv show, haven't read Twyborn Affair)

I remember when tests lasted almost three days

Be close to the tightest top 4 so far
November 22, 2025 at 2:52 AM
This may be where I hit the 'adult contemporary' stage...

3. It's Not Me, It's You
2. Further Complications
1. Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
November 20, 2025 at 11:52 PM
That reminds me, I should reread that trilogy
November 19, 2025 at 4:55 AM
3. Scissor Sisters
2. MM.. FOOD
1. Sunrise Over Sea

Air, Elliot Smith (posthumously) and Modest Mouse all in contention, but not making the cut
November 17, 2025 at 11:41 PM
Sticking with the original three, but extending apologies to Manic Street Preachers

3. Grand National
2. Wincing the Night Away
1. Lupe Fiasco's The Cool

Kanye again ineligible due to suspension, otherwise he would have taken the chocolates. Silverchair unlucky to miss the votes
November 14, 2025 at 10:38 PM
We all have our guilty pleasures

1. Since I Left You

And a long list of apologies to follow
