And let’s have a limit of one album per artist per voter.
After you lock in your vote in this thread, try to quote your vote into the discussion thread and give a one or two sentence (or more) description of each album and include a bandcamp or Youtube link to a song from it for easy playing. That way we get a easily sample-able list of albums to try.
At the end (deadline Saturday March 7th), I’ll tally things up and do a countdown or something.
