Title: MOJO wants YOU! Top 100 since 1993 please....
Post by: al on January 24, 2006, 12:15:07 PM
This is from MOJO's web-site, posted yesterday

The May 2006 issue (on sale April 5) will be the 150th edition of MOJO. As part of the frolics, we're presenting Modern Classics: The 100 Greatest Albums Of Mojo's Lifetime. And we need your help.

We'd like you, the online team, to get involved in this. We want you to vote for your top 10 albums that have been released since MOJO was born. As long as the record was released in or after October, 1993, and it was new at the time – not a reissue or collection of archive material – then it's eligible.

We'll be getting artists and writers to submit their votes, too. Simply send their entries to mojo@emap.com with the subject: Albums Of Our Lifetime. And don't forget to add your name, address and plenty of thoughts on *why* you think they're the best albums.

Each entrant will be in a draw to win all 100, courtesy of HMV. Discuss the votes here - but don't forget to email in!

Your chance to achieve immortality in print! Get to it!
