This was the start of the two week countdown to select #7albums10s as part of Richard Shaw’s Twitter poll and covers from Monday 26 October to Saturday 7 November.
Previously covered in my earlier post at the time, this gives an overview of the 100 albums that were in contention to top the poll. You can see in that post how the albums I listened to fared in the poll and where my top 7 ended up.
Monday 26 October
I started off the week by researching ten year’s worth of albums. In the meantime and to be subject of a future poll soon I settled for new albums by Pearl Jam and Bruce Springsteen to get in the mood. It is all going to kick off the next day.
