July KAOTM

Post by The Kaptain »

Now its time to think of which 5 albums we have enjoyed the most during this month! :g-thumb:

The voting deadline is:

Midnight GMT/UTC Wednesday 31st July


If you are a first time voter in the KAOTM here are a few handy tips...

You may pick 5 albums that you have enjoyed most this month.


We all have 5 votes each, assigned a points value from your chosen positions of 1st to 5th.
You are eligible to vote if you have more than 10 posts.
The Voting form is available from the viewforum.php?f=71

POINTS VALUE ALLOCATION
10... your first and best choice
9.... your second choice
8.... your third choice
7.....your fourth choice
6.....your fifth choice

The objective of the points structure is to assess the greater weight of feeling and strength of all Kabin members who contribute votes,
to find what has been the most favourable [and best] album for each month of the year.

I ask you to post your selections as Artist - Album as it makes life a lot easier when compiling the results.

Have fun, enjoy, and may the best album win! :g-yep:

I wasn't able to vote before the polls closed for July, but these three winners were going to be in my top 5!

Malia "Convergence" (Since I've recently set up our listening room in our new home, this album has been a standout)
Yazoo "Upstairs at Erics" (When I first bought my LP12 in 1984 this was the 1st LP to blow me away as to what lies within the grooves)
Suzanne Vega "Solitude Standing"

Since I am new to "The Kabin" I have really enjoyed looking at past KAOTM winners and have discovered several incredible artists and albums!

Great stuff!

That would be much appreciated. For some reason I too have had the odd 'difficulty' getting to the form to vote. I have always managed it, but a more 'numpty' friendly version would be appreciated ...... :smt023
