Rockreport.be offers a similar user poll that leans a bit more towards a ’softer’ rock selection. It’s interesting that everywhere you look, “Nightwish - Once” is one of the highest ranking albums of 2004 and overall I’d say “Once” is easily THE most appreciated release of the last year. But I’ve been raving on about the album a lot already so we’ll leave it at that.
