Haha er....thanks. I don't spend much time on ILM as you may be able to tell. I did very much enjoy all those albums though, so sue me.
And thanks musically.

It's OK; I don't really mind what a single someone else likes or dislikes! Besides, you've got FOTL in at 3 which I also heartily approve of.
Can I just say to musically that WFANFC is in fact Working For A Nuclear Free City? I don't want to cause any confusion, not that I expect anyone to vote for it. Thanks!
― Just got offed, Thursday, 3 January 2008 00:06 (sixteen years ago) link
bump...I'll kick off voting tomorrow, so if there any other corrections I need to make, please say so!
― musically, Thursday, 3 January 2008 16:53 (sixteen years ago) link
This may be nitpicking, but Pharoahe Monch is written with an "oa", not "Pharaohe". The name is written correctly in the album nominations, but incorrectly in the track noms.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 3 January 2008 17:27 (sixteen years ago) link
musically, you forgot my nominations:
Sally Shapiro - Skating in the Moonshine Sally Shapiro - He Keeps Me Alive Saint Etienne & Annie - This Is Tomorrow Girls Aloud - Black Jacks New Young Pony Club - Ice Cream Roisin Murphy - You Know Me Better (don´t know it it qualifies, it might be a single in '08) Glasvegas - Daddy´s Gone Club 8 - Whatever You Want

The most correct title for the Justice album is †.
― Spencer Chow, Friday, 4 January 2008 00:51 (sixteen years ago) link
A few small corrections on my nominations:
Atavist's album is called: "II (Ruined)"
...and further down:
Moonsorrow's album: "Viides luku - Hävitetty"
Sorry about the weird title formats of these two albums!
Enormous respect from me for doing this, too. Quite an undertaking.
― rockapads, Friday, 4 January 2008 01:18 (sixteen years ago) link
daavid, refer to the amended list which is linked to a few posts above yours. I believe it has all your noms included.
― musically, Friday, 4 January 2008 01:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Lindstrom's The Contemporary Fix is definitely 2006, as a single and album track. I don't even think there's a US rerelease to make it qualify!

One more correction/potential confusion-
Those Map of Africa tracks are two separate tracks Map of Africa AND Ely Cathedral
And good job, by the way, thanks.
Are you going to get the people who nominated stuff to do little blurbs for those that chart? I thought that was a nice idea when they/we did that in some of the other polls.
― Jamie T Smith, Friday, 4 January 2008 11:30 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, that's what I miss about the old polls, plus revealing the top records one at a time. Hope you will do this old-scholl ILX style...
― Tuomas, Friday, 4 January 2008 11:33 (sixteen years ago) link
And now ... to try and listen to all the stuff I haven't heard!

Bird And Bee
I think that's a bowlderisation too far, musically. Voters may not recognise artist! I can see point in excluding unnecessary definite articles, but could you put at least one of them back? Thanks.
― Jeff W, Friday, 4 January 2008 13:07 (sixteen years ago) link
surely there are going to be so many nominations in this forthcoming poll that the results are going to be fairly meaningless. there will be a smattering of votes for the usual suspects (in rainbows, kala, sound of silver etc...) and a load of individual votes for the likes of alasdair roberts (from me!).
― sam500, Friday, 4 January 2008 13:17 (sixteen years ago) link
and anyway, 2007 lists are so last year.

In Rainbows is gonna win
― blueski, Friday, 4 January 2008 13:49 (sixteen years ago) link
I do a search and replace to get rid of leading "The"s, so once in a while a necessary one might be removed and not replaced manually by me.
― musically, Friday, 4 January 2008 15:43 (sixteen years ago) link
only Jeff and I will vote for The Bird And The Bee anyway
― blueski, Friday, 4 January 2008 16:00 (sixteen years ago) link
Last-minute add-in:
The Fall - Reformation Post TLC
Even if everyone else hates it, it is the album I've listened to most from '07. BLACK RIVER! FALL MOTEL! CHEESE STEAKS! LAMP! GOLDFISH BOWL!
― eatandoph, Monday, 7 January 2008 22:16 (sixteen years ago) link
Oops... misread 08 as meaning Jan 08... never mind then mumble mumble
you know, I love that Apples In Stereo album, but I could swear it came out in December 2006... I mean it's cool, whatever. An album that comes out in December (whether I am correct about this or not) arguably deserves the carry-over.
― Saxby D. Elder, Tuesday, 8 January 2008 23:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Per amazon it came out Feb 6 2007 in the US.

Are we doing this???
...or did I miss it?
― peepee, Monday, 14 January 2008 15:38 (sixteen years ago) link
No, you haven't missed it...I will try to get the voting set up tomorrow.
― musically, Monday, 14 January 2008 16:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Good, good, I was spooked.

lol

Albums from 2007 that I listened to most in 2007:
Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha Apples In Stereo - New Magnetic Wonder Flight of the Conchords - Chaki's comp The Format - Dog Problems (Did Atlantic bury this record? I LOVE this album) Society of Rockets - Our Paths Related (so sue me) Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Justice - Justice (Not every track is great, but more than a few, so I'll just go with the album) Once - OST Spiritualized - Live at Boston MFA

I love "per" 'cause it makes you sound like a prick.
