glad to see Hercules And Love Affair in your chart too, even if from 2008 i do prefer Dear Science/TV on the Radio. i suggest Animal Collective for 2009.

You get one hundred for including The Electric Light Orchestra!

Some very good albums, and nice to see Let It Be in there, although many albums other than your top 10 are very average in my view.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
