The 2024 DIS album of the year polling thread

Music
1

It’s nearly December so let’s get it on!

This is the polling thread for our albums of the year. It’ll remain open until early in the New Year when I’ll unleash the results of The DIS Music message board’s favourite albums of the year.

What I need you to do is to provide your top 5 albums of the year. In the following format:

  1. Name of artist who released your favourite album of 2024: Name of album.
  2. Name of artist who released your 2nd favourite album of 2024: Name of album.
  3. Etc
  4. And so on
  5. Name of artist who released your 5th favourite album of 2024: Name of album

As usual, please:

  • no discussion in this thread, I’ll start another thread for all discussion to go in.
  • please only make one submission, this’ll be open for more than a month. If you are ready to give your list now - great! But if you think you might want to change your list before the thread closes please wait to submit.
  • please provide your five albums in the format above (eg. 1. Artist Name: Name of Album).

Those three things do make my life easier when collating the results.

Here’s a discussion thread to put all chat in:

@moderators would you mind making this sticky please.
