True, but that's been a devolping trend as we came into this decade and I expect it to continue. I'm struggling to think of one year this decade that an album fully caught the zeitgeist in the way an album like Stone Roses or What's The Story did. The Strokes Is This It? probably came closest, and that looks like winning in 2001, but not by the margin the others won by. As it stands I think the winner for this year will come from either the Libertines or QOTSA as a pattern has emerged on these polls whereby an album takes a day or two to shift into gear and pull away from everyone else.
Plus no 'Other' album has won one of these polls yet, and I thought this might be the year, given the omissions of Coldplay and Foo Fighters from the main list
