On October 5th last year North Sea Surf Radio first broadcast the Surf Album Top 101; A twelve hour show with several tracks from the best 101 Surf Revival Albums according to the listeners of North Sea Surf Radio and the members of the SurfGuitar 101 forum.

Due to the overwhelming response and record breaking number of listeners we will be doing it again! On September 6th we will be broadcasting the second edition of the Surf Album Top 101 and we need your input!

Do you want to contribute your personal favourites to this list and help decide what the list of alltime best Instrumental Surf Revival Albums will look like?

Post your Surf Abum Top 10 in this thread.
The deadline for your contributions is Sunday August 30th!

- NO 2015 albums allowed.
- NO "Best Of" albums allowed.
- NO Various Artist compilation albums allowed.
- NO Single Artist compilation albums allowed (b-sides, single collections etc.)
- The order of the albums DOES matter, your number 1 will receive the most points in the Top 101, your number 10 will receive the least points.

Well that list are just some recommendations, all albums from 2014 can now enter unless they are comps like our NSSR donation album. Nevertheless our 2014 album "Mandira" is now eligible for entry so you could pick that Smile
Thanks for your continued support of NSSR !
Cheers,

Probably not, but asking anyway...

It's very early yet; you can probably just go up and edit your original post. Niels is pretty human-like kinda; I don't think he tabulates these every nanosecond. Big Grin
