Reminder of the rules:
- please submit at least *5* releases. But just remember, real men vote at 10.
- first place in your rankings gets 10 points, 2nd gets 9, etcetc, 10th gets 1.
- feel free to post more than 10, but only the top 10 will get points.
- feel free to post less than 10, the same scoring will apply.
- feel free not to rank your picks, in which case all ten picks will get 5.5 points.
- if you're so much of a dick that you have to post more than 10 unranked picks, only the first 10 will count. In other words, go back to the third rule.

Submit your lists by June 27th.

 

[no country for old wainds]

fuck yes

 

[Vegard Pompey]

fuck yes

You better check out Follow the Blind before you make your list.

You might also want to hear the Krixhjälters LP, since you've liked the songs from it that I've submitted in the mixtape game. Just pointing that out since it's probably not gonna show up very high in your RYM chart.

[jimmy101]

So what's the official verdict on Atheist's Piece of Time? European release was '89, yet the US release was 1990. Should we include it here?

 

[CiG]

We already decided it was a mistake to exclude it in the 1990 game, since that's really where it belongs.
