End of year polls
Posted: January 24th, 2005, by Marceline SmithOne year we might manage to get our end of year polls online before the end of January but it is not this year. Getting votes and comments out of our contributors is one of the more difficult tasks of the year but now it is finally done and you can enjoy it. As always there was little agreement amongst us as to the actual best records and films of the year and much complex maths was required to get fair and true top tens. This also means there is lots of disagreement in the comments which makes a nice change from most overly upbeat end of year lists.
So go read about our favourite albums and favourite films and please post your comments here and let us know what you think.
Dave Stockwell has also done us a seperate column about his favourite records of 2004 which overlap with our main choices more than he expected. Not so obscurist now eh Dave?
And to finish off JGram has been chatting to his favourite new band of the year, The Go! Team from Brighton.
