I actually can do it, I've just been lazy :(.

Not sure how much 5 responses would do for ya though.

Yeah i'm in the same boat. I could make a stab at 10 albums, however, not much more than that and would struggle with songs and albums from 2013.

These, unfortunately.

There really is little point in my filling in the poll since it would largely be a case of me ranking Nick Cave albums (I know some other Australian artists pretty well, but very rarely does their music stack up against even Cave's weaker stuff in my opinion, and I don't think it right to skew your poll in that way nor to shoehorn in albums I don't particularly like just in order to give my list some insincere sense of balance and variety), though I do look forward to seeing the results and I'll be sure to peruse your chart in order to find some more great AUS albums. My apologies Harkan.

Closing date for nominations was meant to be 10th of November. But with still 3 responses, this may change.

Maybe this should move to the main music forum?

I'm gonna go ahead and do it, but, somehow, I doubt many of my choices are as popular as others.

been really busy. i'll submit a poll in the next day or so. it gets really complicated when it comes to favorite Aussie songs, especially since i'm terrible at remembering the names of Dirty Three songs.

I've actually heard a shockingly low amount of Aussie (studio) albums as well. I think I've found a lot of them don't make it to European iTunes stores and / or are rare in physical format (Died Pretty and the Dubrovniks being two bands I wanted to check out in last year or so, with limited success). Hopefully more will pop up on the streaming sites soon. Gonna probably fill in the artist and song fields of the survey myself anyway . . .

Vote on what you know. I might put together a 100 best Aus chart of my own soon. That could help?

EDIT: Here it is!

So the idea is to create a poll (through SurveyMonkey) and get the site's best albums, artists and songs from the Land Down Under. I usually become a Aus Music fanboy more during November so sorry in advance.

The current survey is here.

TIMELINE
1st-10th - Nominations in

14th-24th - Finalist poll

28th-30th - Award handed out.

CATEGORIES
Best Aus Album of all time
Best Aus Song of all time
Best Aus Artist of all time
Best Aus Album of 2013
Best Aus Album of 2013

I tried to limit the categories as specific genres would have been lacking in submissions (I feel).

LINKS
HOTTEST 100 AUSTRALIAN ALBUMS (voted by public)
HOTTEST 100 AUSTRALIAN ALBUMS (voted by industry)
100 BEST AUSTRALIAN ALBUMS (voted by critics)

EDIT: Not enough responses really. Abandoned.
