10.A Grand Don't Come For Free - The Streets

I can't choose a number one, can I give 10 points to the first 5?

[Farin]

nope, sorry

[MindCrime]

What about 8 points to each of the first five?

[Farin]

that would make it easier to count, but still no

if you seriously want to adopt such a system of counting we can talk about it - but not in a running competition

[MindCrime]

I wasn't being serious

[c_s_1987]

^ Look at all those votes for Jethro Tull! So many people I wouldn't have expected have voted for TaaB.

[Levis]

I did my voting based on most innovative concept

[MindCrime]

I did my voting based on most innovative concept

That's the honest way to vote.

I will admit, I was unfamiliar with over 50% of the nominees.

[edna]

As much as I dislike Ian Anderson, I must admit TAAB is a good concept album... so let´s be fair...

Nice...

[The Seeker]

Why look at that... both of my nominations made it! Tommy doesn't surprise me, but Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake sure does.

[Viaene]

Nice...

Almost Perfect

[edna]

Almost Perfect

Yes... there´s just three albums I wouldn´t put there... and add my two noms... and another album instead.

[Lucky]

Nice list. I'm especially fond of the top 5-6. Chris, I actually should have voted Thick as a Brick higher than I did. It's probably the first album that I both liked and actually understood the fact that it is a concept album.

To be honest, in the past if asked to name a concept album only 3 would have come immediately to mind, Thick as a Brick, Tommy and The Wall. So this has been educating for me I guess.
