As for this poll, what is with the British love for The Strokes? I'm amazed at the level if appreciation they seem to have there. Highly overrated band as is Franz Ferdinand though I'd take them over The Strokes any day! Other than a few albums, namely Funeral, I'm not impressed by the albums being voted on. The omission of such amazing albums like Kid A, Amenesiac and Takk kind of makes this poll a bit ridiculous IMO. Oh well, polls in general are a bit ridiculous. Have fun voting!

Polls are definitely silly but it's our duty to make the Manics win them regardless of whether we really agree. Kid A is probably my favourite of the decade but I'd rather the Manics won.

It's not enough to vote for JFPL. you have to give low scores to the other ones as well!
Or can we split into two squadrons? The ones voting for JFPL and the ones giving the other albums low scores? Low scorers move out...

I'm worried that giving a low score still gives that album a point and may actually help it in the long run!

i am thoroughly enjoying giving a 1 to certain albums that i won't name out of a wish to not offend the many people i respect here, but there's just some i cannot bring myself to give a low vote to. i have just given a "10" to Send Away The Tigers. Where's that "You Know You're A Manics Fan When....." thread?

 i am learning a few things off this poll. for a start, some albums that the critics all got together and had a collective wank over (Richard Ashcroft, Andrew WK and to a lesser extent Amy Winehouse) appear not to be as popular with the listeners. some/many here don't think JFPL is the best album of the decade, which is fair enough - leaving it out of the Top 50 for the decade is just dumb, let's hope we can at least keep it in the top 5 on this poll.

Hate these sorts of things, glorified click-offs. Would have been nice to see what people actually thought but there we go. With regards to things critics enjoyed not being popular with listeners, how are you establishing that? Because they have tons of fans (see: sales) who don't happen to spend all afternoon giving 1 to other albums and repeatedly giving 10 to those records, or don't check NME.com for polls? This is essentially a "daftest fans" competition..
Anyway, it's quite obviously none of the Manics' records, however good they've been.
