FESTIVE COCK 2016 Dear all – after a slight wobble – I have decided to do the Festive Cock again this year. I think it is the ninth or tenth one. I hope people will send in their favorite ALBUMS of the year, even if it is only one or two. Usual rules – send me your top albums of the year (any amount: top 10, top 3, whatever). If you want to rank them you can – but please make it clear – or I will give them all the same weighting. Email them directly to me – please don’t post them on the list or stormcock.net or it will spoil the surprise. We might have a bit more pre-chart SLACK chat about things but I won’t give away anything major – until I announce the chart on New Year’s Eve. Deadline for votes 27th December to sneak in any last minute Xmas presents. I will try to get it done for 31st December announcement. Please email your votes to jfel2@yahoo.co.uk Thanks James x Meanwhile, as usual, here is last year’s chart out of interest. Oh those innocent days of 2015, little did we know!
