#7albums80s poll

Details and rules

Richard Shaw @RichardS7370

Hi All, just a quick tweet in regards to #7albums80s poll.It’s brilliant seeing so much interest and I’m loving seeing the enthusiasm and variety of suggestions. Here’s the poll rules for anyone new to this:-

1. I’ll send a tweet on Friday at 7pm (UK) to start the poll.
2. Please tweet your final 7 picks back to that one so I can pick up your votes (I don’t want people’s picks to be missed)
3. You’ll need to specify your order - 7pts for top pick down to 1pt for 7th pick, so order is important to consider.
4. Live albums are okay to pick.
5. No best of’s or compilations allowed though.
6. Poll will close at 12 midday on Sunday (UK time)
7. All being well if I’m not too overwhelmed by replies, I’ll tweet the top 100 album chart result for the 80’s later on Sunday.
8. Most important rule - enjoy!
