JoeDiddly by Luke Slater January 11th, 2011

We may have been a bit slack on this front, but the final results for the Drowned in Sound users Album Of The Year are in. They have been for a week or so. The results were drawn from a thread with a ton of entries, with users obviously stating their Top 5 albums, with points awarded for each placing. The original thread can be read here.
