Not at all surprising, and probably deserved. This was a very strong year for music in general, and it's cool to see some diversity of thought and genre at the top. Nonetheless, In Utero joins Nevermind as a champion of its year, and brings us closer to the finish line.
I had a bit of a struggle putting together a list of 30 for 1978, as it seems a bit of a lean year. Not sure what I think the favourite is heading into the poll, but there are a couple that stand out as HF standard-bearers.
The remaining years, in order (expect a poll every 2-3 days):
2003
1983
1990
2008
2013
1994
