We've finally made it through all the studio albums containing new/different material and voted for our favourites on each of them. Next we'll be voting for our overall favourite album tracks. I've gone for top 3-6 plus shared places, depending on the total number of tracks per album (apart from A1, as that contains a lot more songs).
Looking at all these polls again I've got to admit, that sometimes it were the usual suspects finishing on top while at other times I found the result quite surprising. (Lots of my favourites never got through either .. ).
All of the polls are locked now, so results can't be changed any longer.
