You read it correctly.  Starting this Friday, I will begin taking nominations for Album of the Year as voted by YOU!!!  The MindSay users.  So once you've got all your Black Friday shopping out of the way, make sure to swing by and leave your vote at the specified blog.  All nominations left at the incorrect blog will not be tallied.

I've been doing this Album of the Year thing since 2005 (I think).  Haven't missed a beat and I don't expect to.  So here is the rundown:

• Friday, November 28th, I will post a blog entry AND a MindSay Forum Topic up to take nominations in.  I will continue to take nominations until a SPECIFIED TIME.  Once that specified time is up, I will tally the nominations and post the Best Album of the Year Nominees list.
• Out of this list, you will leave a reply as to which album you choose as the Best Album of the Year.  You can only pick an album from the nominees.
• Once I've tallied the votes, I will post the results which, typically, results in a clear winner.  Sometimes the winner is not so clear, in which case I'll let you know how it will be handled.
• The only way this runs smoothly is if I GET A LOTE OF NOMINEES AND VOTES.  If I don't get a lot of nominees and votes, it can't really be considered the opinion of MindSay as a whole, can it?  I mean, there are thousands upon thousands of bloggers here.  Please help me out.  It would be hectic, but I would love if EVERY SINGLE MINDSAYER LEFT A VOTE.

I will post the various rules regarding releases and their elegibility later.  But for now, just think about who you might want to nominate!!!!!
