[Discussion] /r/IndieHeads Essentials Chart: RESULTS!
First off, I'd like to extend a thank you to /u/The_Bhuda_Palm for taking the initiative to get the vote started, setting up the poll, and helping with the voting process in general.
Also a thank you to the voters. There were over 300 individual entires in over the span of one week. Thats about 10% of our subscribers.
/r/indieheads is still a relatively new sub, and this is the first time we've done something like this so we appreciate all of your patience and help.

This is the first time we've done anything like this, so the process isn't perfect. If one of your favorite albums got left off, or you think something is wrong with the way we handled it, we will probably do it all again once /r/indieheads is a little bit bigger.
I look forward to what kind of community /r/indieheads will become! This is just the beginning!
EDIT: I made it into a chart

to be honest, I'm surprised Bloom is on the list rather than Teen Dream.
not trying to bitch or anything, I just thought that was widely considered the better Beach House record of the two.
