Arcade Fire romped the 2004 poll, whilst Gorillaz just look like shading the 2005 one (there's a few mins left at time of posting before that poll ends).
Anyway here's the picks,
Voting Opens Once Videos Are Up
Bob Dylan - When The Deal Goes Down - Modern Times
Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor - Whatever People Say I Am....
Ali Farke Toure - Ai Du - Savane (Ai Du didn't come from this album, couldn't find a youtube clip from Savane)
Only 4 albums in it for me , "Whatever People say I am ... " , "First Impressions of Earth" "Sams Town" and "Boys and Girls in America" , I think the Arctic Monkeys will just get my vote though
Have to go with the Arctic Monkeys - "Whatever people say...........".
It will most likely appear in most short lists for best album / most influential album of the decade.
The album emphatically justified and capitalised on the initial hype of them being "internet hyped band - Arctic Monkeys".
Honourable mentions to:
The Stokes - First impressions.....
Yeah Yeah Yeah's - Show your bones
Republic Of Loose or Prince for me. I'll decide when the poll is up.
Is Jebus ok, or is he taking a long lunch break?
Thanks for the concern :) Internet crashed on me after the initial post, rest of the videos are going up nowQuote:

Oops, two mistakes on the poll, The Strokes album is the First and not the Last impression of Earth, and Isobel and Mark's CD is called the Ballad Of The Broken Seas...soz
Isobel Campbell & Mark Lonegan - Come Walk With Me - Ballad Of The Broken Seas
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Gold Lion - Show Your Bones
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy - St.Elsewhere
Completely forgot about Hot Chip. I think I'll still go for Republic of Loose's Aaagh! Brilliant album.
Other
Back To Black-Amy Winehouse.
Chilis- Stadium Arcadium a close second..
Gonna go with:
David Kitt - Not Fade away.
Others worth a mention:
Duke Special - Songs From The Deep Forest
Placebo - Meds
Snow Patrol - Eyes Open
The Fratellis - Costello Music
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say....
Director - We Thrive On These Cities
Wolfmother - Wolfmother
KT Tunstall - Eye To The Telescope

Epic stuff.

Eyes Open- Snow Patrol

I could have added a few more, and that would be the grand total of 2006 albums I own. 2007'2 list won't be much longer.
Was CSS's debut album in 2006? Not sure...
2007 I think. I have it earmarked for my possible 2007 vote anyway.
