‘The Current’ Wants Your Vote!
The Current is looking to hear from you to compile a list of the top 89 albums of 2007. Whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing, you can only vote for up to 20. Time is running out, however–you only have until this Friday at 11:59 PM to get entries in!
To make things a little easier, they have a LONG list of bands and artists put together already, although you are free to ‘write in’ your own.
Voters will be entered into a drawing for a 16GB iPod Touch along with $100 worth of iTunes online store credit (winner to be announced the week of December 31st).
On New Year’s Day, they’ll play “The Top 89 of 2007” as chosen by listeners.
Ready? You can vote here.
While I’m hesitant to put my own votes out there, I’m hoping that you’ll want to share yours, too! So without further ado, here’s my top albums for the year in no particular order (except for the first one, which is my absolute favorite for 2007). Have a listen on Imeem.
