REMINDER - BEST OF 2011

If you have not e-mailed your lists, please read carefully the following points:


1) Three CDs can be won. A draw will decide the 3 winners.

2) Last year the three CDs went to S.J.B (Illinois, USA), K.M. (British Columbia, Canada) and P.H (Nottingham, UK). The 3 CDs that were sent: Bizardunak "s/t", Bizardunak "En Zugzwang" and Zapo "4+4=10". I have not bought the CDS for this year yet.

3) I have decided to include some albums that were released at the end of 2010. Even if they were released in 2010, I think that we can consider them as 2011 releases. Besides, they were not voted in any top ten list last year.

4) There are two categories: albums and EPs. The second category covers mini-albums, EPs and/or demos.

5) For the full albums, the list will be a Top Ten

6) For the EPs, the list will be a Top Five

7) You have to send a full Top Ten list and a full Top Five list.

8) E-MAILS VOTING ONLY ONE ALBUM OR LISTS THAT INCLUDE THE SAME ALBUM TEN TIMES WILL NOT BE VALID

9) Regarding the EPs/demos/Mini albums, many tracks or full recordings can be found on this blog as free downloads or as a part of the Samplers. Moreover, many tracks can be listened to at Reverbnation or MySpace (just check the links on the reviews)

10) Please send your list by e-mail

11) Every person can send only one e-mail.

12) The deadline is 31 December 2011. The list will be posted at the beginning of January 2012.

You can pick your list from the following albums and EPs. I have added some albums and EPs/demos that were not listed on the original post.

REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN INCLUDE ANY OTHER CELTIC PUNK, CELTIC ROCK OR FOLK PUNK ALBUM THAT HAS BEEN RELEASED IN 2011 EVEN IF IT IS NOT LISTED BELOW.
