Theoretically it shouldn't be allowed however as Gas/Wolfgang Voigt is probably totally unknown to the majority (if not all) our participants I'm inclined to accept your nomination Durly
What do others think ?
I know that I no longer participate in this due to time constraints, but this album is over 4 hours long.....
I think even the voters with lots of time may struggle with that sort of listening time to 1 nomination..
1964white wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 11:05 amI suspect Elbow's 'The Seldom Seen Kid' or Fleet Foxes 'Fleet Foxes' are one of the more likely winners in this latest contest
I'm going for :
The Gaslight Anthem 'The 59 Sound'
I really like the Fleet Foxes album as you know but don't see it as a winner tbh, even though it could well be my nomination, as not a great year for me.
Like Durly, April as to be up there but can't bring myself to nominate it.

Must confess I had to google what the ‘issue’ was. Having done so, understand your position.
Wonderful though it is, I think the Gas one is a bit of a cheat but I am very likely to vote for one of the albums in that box (Pop) as my album of 2000 when that year comes up.

Cheers for that....
but if he hasn't been to court and had the accusations proved, then he is still officially innocent....
You're absolutely right, of course, Hector. I think the issue is that a lot of Koz fans are not terrifically surprised that these allegations have come up and it's hard to now correlate the beauty of some of his earlier music with the attitude he's displayed in recent years.
Actually, thought someone had already gone for Fleet Foxes but it appears not if I can change my nomination to FF that would be great please 64...........

Black Keys and Portishead gone. Between Calexico, Martina Topley-Bird and Ceramic Dog, then.
I'm tempted to go for the latter, on the basis that someone else might pick Calexico, but I thought that about the Beta Band last time. Hector is also guaranteed to hate Ceramic Dog, which is always a bonus, but this time I'll go for the one which is likely to find the broadest appeal. It's a relationship breakup album, but I'll let that pass.
Calexico - Carried To Dust
Played it a couple of times today, a few tracks were instant, a few more grew second time around, think there maybe a couple i will never be in to but did it enjoy it on the whole.
