Hey 111th, I was wondering if you still had the results and could post the standings of every album that participated in the British Album Tournament - would be a good way to find good music. If not, can you do it for the current NA album tourny?


Standings as in where they finished in the tournament? I'd be happy to and I'll have it done by tomorrow.

Thanks a lot for posting those standings 111th Beatle.
Of those 60 or so albums I've only heard 21 of them, but the average rating of those is 8.4/10, a great rating.
The top 8 albums are a darn good collection.
There were some wonderful albums that didn't make it far, most notably: London Calling, Sgt Pepper, Wish You Were Here, and Led Zeppelin IV. Are there any albums that didn't make it past the 2nd round that you or anyone would recommend?

All Things Must Pass - George Harrison
Village Green Preservation Society - The Kinks
