*As voted by _YOU_ the people.
Well, after a week of ballots (sorry to everyone in the UK that missed
it), three essays, three exams and my net account suspended.... I proudly
present to you all, the most comprehensive chart of IDM traxx of this week!!!
Now, before I get to the actual countdown, an explanation of sorts is
in order. a) This was not like compiling the Top 25 Heavy Metal songs (or
any other genre for that matter) As you all expected ( and some so
graciously informed me) everyone has their own faves. So what was to be
the Top 25 quickly became simply "The Top" because there weren't even 25
songs that received more than one vote.
So, to be fair to everyone's votes, and to be true to my original
intentions of compiling the best of the best, I decided to include them
all, with the tracks receiving more votes coming higher up the list.
Oh yeah, and b) some people just _couldn't_ narrow it down to three
songs so they entered their Top 3 albums, just to screw everything up.
Well, I guess I can understand that. But it still screwed things up ;)
Alright, enough BS, heres the scoop, full of suprises I'm sure:
Where there are numbers in brackets indicates total # of votes. Trax were
awarded 3pts for 1st place, 2pts for 2nd and 1pt for 3rd place votes.
