EWB's Top 127 Albums of the 2017

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

See! I didn't forget! I told you I'd post it! A few things before the countdown though.

Firstly, thank you to everyone who voted. Without you, there would be no list at all, and I 100% would have followed through on my promise to just award it to Nickelback.

Secondly, with the benefit of hindsight, 15 was too many to vote with. One or two commented as such and if I run it again next year, I'll probably shorten it to a top 10 per person, which might make it easier and get a few more votes in since you don't have to come up with as many.

Thirdly, to that end, it didn't seem fair to cut any off since there are so many damn ties below like the top 20 because of the flawed vote system so I'm just gonna do the lot to my own burden.

So yeah, since I have 127 of these to get through:

Note: these are gonna be in spoiler tags for size due to the clashes. One vote each unless specified. If I'm missing chart positions for anyone I'll edit them in afterward, I'm just going off Wiki and what I can google.

While it might make the list a whole lot shorter I'd suggest making it a requirement than an album receive at least two votes to qualify in future. Otherwise two of those are just "albums that Naitch likes a little bit".

Did you alter your vote? When I did the count your 2-pointer was a 3. Will recount when I get home.

I honestly don't know if I did. I might have brought it up to 15 and that affected the two-pointer but maybe not.
