same for me... well, around 20 i guess.

Right, so I'm just back from my holidays (very nice, thanks for asking) - obviously, it's a shit list, and in spite of the fact I doctored my vote to the albums I thought other people would vote for, none of my votes made it in.

Two things - Everyneurotic and Atsonicpark clearly didn't vote for ATR (or maybe voted for a different record) and thereby have internet curses in their curse-account (non-transferable). You pricks.

Second - given that this is a SY board, any chance of a top 20 that doesn't feature SY releases? It's a fair bet to say that there was a very, very heavy SY-leaning to the voting.

Also - I officially hate you all because the best album ever made, in objective standards, is the Shaggs' philosophy of the world. Cunts. It's not my favourite album ever, but it is the best. You see?

I was torn as to whether the list should exclude SY albums or not. In the end I thought it fairer to include them simply because I do believe that if someone really thinks DDN is the greatest album in the world then they should be able to vote for it. More regrettable was the lack of a single non-rock based album in the 20, or one made outside of America or the UK.

if i wasn't lazy i'd organise some votes on best metal, best hiphop, best jazz, best electronic... etc.

I'm looking forward to the best lower-case improv vote, and the tension surrounding the micro-house thread is palpable.

Well, three out of five of my selections made it...

The White Album, VU & Nico, and White Light/White Heat...

Sister was in my top 10 but as we know only 5 were allowed...

the beatles - the beatles
vu & nico
rubber soul
white light/white heat
rolling stones - let it bleed
revolver
sy - sister
r.e.m. - reckoning
bob dylan - bringin' it all back home
rolling stones - sticky fingers

that's a very good list, but i'm surprised that Goo, Experimental, Dirty, and Washing Machine didn't make the top 20

Well that's because it's the twenty greatest albums off all time not the twenty greastest SY records.
