It would be interesting to have everyone list their personal top 5, in order, and do a weighted total to see what the top 5 ends up being in that configuration.
My Top 5
1) Frank Black - 5 pts
2) Surfer - 4 pts
3) Doolittle - 3 pts
4) TOTY - 2 pts
5) COP - 1 pt
Looking at the other two most recent top 5 posts in the thread,
Brank Flack's: Doolittle gets 5 points, Trompe 4, BTE 3, Surfer 2, B-sides (!) 1.
Jake3's: Surfer 5, Doolittle 4, COP 3, Trompe 2, Bossanova 1
If it were just us three then the final tally would be. Of course it would be better not to tally as we go to get a pure/individualistic result vs the temptation to have strategic votes.
(1) Doolittle - 12 pts
(2) Surfer - 11 pts
(3) Trompe - 6 pts
(4) Frank Black - 5 pts
(5) COP - 4 pts

Including the inner sleeve artwork as well, my top 5 are:
- Frank Black (because of the FB-logo)
- Bossanova (Planet Pixies is a such a good description of their own world)
- Surfer Rosa (BOOBS! - that would not be possible today)
- Trompe (inner artwork with the rockets)
- COR (that is the most beautiful blueish color tone I've ever seen)

4 Trompe
5 BLD - love a proper band photo. Also, picked a replacement copy up of ebay for a couple of quid and it turned up signed :) |

BLD is code for Dog In The Sand - didn't you get the memo?
(Sorry, I so meant DITS. I dont have a physical BLD anymore - does it even have a band photo?) |

does this mean you may have been voting for the wrong covers? does this mean we have to start all over?

I think that one time does render the whole exercise null and void. Sorry everyone.
If we're starting again then I'm all in on Pod for the win :D |

Alright, so updated tally. I decided to leave all the contenders there so any additional votes can be easily added if they aren't in the top 5 but are in the top 10:
(1) Surfer - 24 pts
(2) Doolittle - 24 pts
(3) Bossanova - 20 pts
(4) Trompe - 17 pts
(5) Frank Black - 15 pts
And continuing on:
(6) Black Letter Days - 5 pts
(7) COP - 4 pts
(8) Teenager of the Year - 3 pts
(9) Beneath the Eyrie - 3 pts
(10) Head Carrier - 1 pt
(11) Dog in the Sand - 1 pt
(12) Pixies B-sides - 1 pt
(13) Cult of Ray - 1 pt
Two reelers brings up an interesting point that I don't know we discussed, I presumed we were strictly talking cover art but if it was the whole art package, that may have changed some votes... and I also love the COR blue - I want a copy of the vinyl release even though I don't have a record player just for that. And yes, I did interpret stuczuba's BLD as DITS. ;)
