An excellent variety comprises the results of The Phantom Tollbooth's compiled votes for the July 2005 Top 10 survey. There's always a delightful surprise or two, and this month's is that a lot of folks are listening to A Liturgy, A Legacy, and a Ragamuffin Band from Rich Mullins. The other surprise is a full roster of runners-up that are all just one extra vote or two away from placing within the Top 10. New titles in this month's survey are top vote-getter Sufjan Stevens' Illinois, On the Threshold of Eternity by Ajalon, Coldplay's X & Y, and Glass Hammer's The Inconsolable Secret. Bill Mallonee returns with Friendly Fire and runners-up with Hit and Run. Returnees are SF59 (slipping just one notch from the top slot from last month), U2, Mae, and Over the Rhine. Remember that every vote counts; Radiohead's OK Computer just barely missed the runners-up (including Lost Dogs, Bruce Cockburn, John Davis, and Dream Theater), so remember to log your listening diary for the August 2005 Top 10 survey, and vote at top10@tollbooth.org.
