yes i think splitting the poll into pieces might clarify matters

Right, going to try to chop my shortlist of 66 into a top 50...

Pacific Trash Vortex (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 19 May 2012 22:07 (twelve years ago) link

...on closer inspection, several of these (run into flowers, silver screen shower scene, dooms night, fix my sink) are not the versions I like

Pacific Trash Vortex (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 19 May 2012 22:16 (twelve years ago) link

which are the versions you like?

you can do write-in votes for other versions if you like.

the late great, Saturday, 19 May 2012 22:24 (twelve years ago) link

No - I need to get rid of something

Pacific Trash Vortex (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 19 May 2012 22:27 (twelve years ago) link

Well I'm pretty sure dooms night is '99.

Who sneaked Midi Rain on there? It's from 1991!

struck by how seemingly pedestrian my tastes are
How I feel every day tbh. That said, I will get my votes in at some point in the next couple of days - need to catch up with a few more of the tunes from the noms list that I don't know first.

Mr Andy M, Saturday, 26 May 2012 22:55 (twelve years ago) link

How did I forget to nominate "Another Girl."

Never translate Dutch (jaymc), Saturday, 26 May 2012 23:24 (twelve years ago) link

Should have really trawled through the spreadsheet earlier - went through looking for anything I may have missed while compiling my list, and none of the tracks I nominated back in this post were visible. Oh well, voting for most of them anyway.

etc, Sunday, 27 May 2012 09:39 (twelve years ago) link

(Took me till I reached the lack of Shit Robot's "Triumph" in the spreadsheet to make me do a double-take, though)

etc, Sunday, 27 May 2012 09:40 (twelve years ago) link

that's too bad! how did that happen? neighborhood and 138 trek just HAVE to be there.

dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Sunday, 27 May 2012 10:02 (twelve years ago) link

added those nominations etc

the late great, Sunday, 27 May 2012 18:05 (twelve years ago) link

have got my longlist down to 120, don't think I'm going to manage to listen to everything in the next few days

is there an additions list for all the nominations that have been added since this thread started?

nope

RIP

Voted. Putting it together was a lot of fun, it reminded me of (a) how much I love lists and (b) how difficult I find it to make good ones.

Impetuous hybrid (Matt P), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 21:57 (twelve years ago) link

it's not going to be very exciting with only 11 votes

>:-(

the late great, Tuesday, 29 May 2012 22:08 (twelve years ago) link

I am going to attempt to onerous task of constructing a ballot from my hospital bed, just for you V.

Tim F, Tuesday, 29 May 2012 23:46 (twelve years ago) link

I am def planning to vote.

Yeah, best wishes Tim. Be healthy.

Josiah Alan, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 03:06 (twelve years ago) link

Oh I'm going home tomorrow, no dramas, just saying that I'm on the case.

Tim F, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 03:58 (twelve years ago) link

Okay, I've voted.

Tim F, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:02 (twelve years ago) link

Ballot in. Left a bunch of stuff I nominated off, rediscovered the Luomo remix of Black Dice's "Smiling Off" and gave that some love instead - good fallback when DJing a mid-00s gallery opening.

etc, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 08:51 (twelve years ago) link

I'm going to try and vote tonight but it's probably worth extending the deadline rather than running a poll with a tiny number of voters?

Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Wednesday, 30 May 2012 08:53 (twelve years ago) link

I have a shortlist of 80 now but I agree with extending the deadline because 1000+ nominations is so daunting.

Amazed potential high-placers LCD's Yeah and Katy B's On a Mission aren't in there but I guess I should have nominated them myself instead of kvetching now.

Get well soon Tim.

terrence parker - your love

is from 1996 btw

coal, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 15:21 (twelve years ago) link

didnt see all the kdjs but j.a.n is 90s also

coal, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 15:24 (twelve years ago) link

i think "yeah" is not electronic enough and "on a mission" is too pop for our participants

the late great, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 15:29 (twelve years ago) link

i would consider extending the deadline but i would want a roll call of who needs an extension, so that i know when to start counting ballots.

the late great, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 15:29 (twelve years ago) link

The thing with a theme like this, unlike a single-artist poll, is that there are so many factions - there are producers, labels, even genres I've ignored entirely and I'm sure that will be the case for a lot of voters, so you need a certain number of voters before any meaningful overlap will occur. I can see most of my tracks dying a lonely death if there are less than 20 ballots.

Get wolves (DL), Wednesday, 30 May 2012 15:51 (twelve years ago) link

just sent in my ballot too.
at some point I had to stop splitting hairs between adjacent tunes out of the 50 and hope for approx current favour/ranking within around 10 spots, except for the all important Top 5/Top 10. loved hearing (relistening to) many of these tunes again!
