You can't add it after submitting a thread. But it's ok, I added it.

The poll probably didn't reset properly. I'll edit it, but this one new vote will be lost.

Eric's Trip - Love Tara

This album is just a classic of the lo-fi Indie genre. Fifteen songs as emotionally and musically raw as you could possibly fathom. It's moody and confrontational, with acidic distortion ripping through melancholic melodies and at times overbearing feedback warping surprisingly tight musicianship. This album was recorded in the midst of the breakdown of a relationship between two of the band members, and you can tell, the tension kicks out at the listener throughout the album's duration. How Fleetwood Mac of them eh.

Yeah, I know that. I thought we'd be voting on a new batch of nominations, that's all.

My nomination is Autolux - Future Perfect (2004)

For me this is one of the standout indie/alternative albums of the 00's. It incorporates a lot of influences ranging from space-rock, shoegaze, post-punk, Swirlies, etc. and is such an enjoyable album to listen to from start to finish without skipping a track. This album is a great discovery for anyone.

I already know the M83 album, I didn't like Womens first record and the Los Campensenos comparison put me off Johnny F, so I voted Autolux as the description sounds interesting.

I'm a bit confused, should we be sending in new nominations?
Anyway in this poll I voted for M83 because I love that album a lot.

I'm confused we need a rules page or something. I want to nominate something, but I'm not sure where to do it...

Just to add to the numbers, I'll suggest Through the Ides of March (2002) by A Whisper in the Noise.

A Whisper in the Noise's discography has never had a complete definition in terms of genre. Most go with modern progressive rock, post-rock, indie rock, shoegaze, alternative rock, art rock, and sometimes experimental rock (although to a lesser degree). But regardless of the genre's label, their music is great, and I attempted to promote them a bit when I first joined this site. Their debut in particular has always been my favorite, and it has a more interesting sound than their more "popular" album, Dry Land (2007) which is still great all in its own. Through the Ides of March utilizes many classical instruments such as the cello, french horn, and violin which allows West Thordson, the frontman, to have more freedom when composing the music.

The overall sound of the album is very dark and can range anything from mellow to spastic and loud (which is best exemplified by "Seeing You" - the fourth track in the album). The lyrics are also very interesting because he manages to create a lot of meaning with such a minimalistic way of writing them (kind of similar to what Emily ****inson did). Anyways... that's it.
