review of nominations and VOTING for (very nebulously defined) ELECTRONIC DANCE TRACKS of the 00s

used your real name on the list, apologies

There are no entries matching idjut boys

i think this is because of some discussion in the nom's thread about trying to steer clear of edits for this poll, though there are loads of exceptions that snuck through

i prob would have nom'd some idjuts otherwise

tbf i don't think the idjuts have really been working in "house" mode for awhile now unless you count the (sporadic / rare / obscure) droid EPs

there are probably parts of "puddle & spout" that are at least as house-ish as a kdj or theo track but i wasn't gonna nominate some obscure shit that wasn't going to get any votes

if i had i'd probably nominate "oochie coochie"

just sent mine

Just sent mine too...
I predict "One More Time", "Miura", "Rej", and possibly "I Feel Space" will all make Top 10.

"Tessio" has a great shot at Top 10 as well; even more so with "Synkro" left off the nomination list.

azaera otm ;-)

I predict "man with the red face" won't make it to the list.

pls shut down ilm if it doesn't k thx

ilx will go up in my estimation if it doesn't make the 50. :D

so while making my ballot i happened upon this...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQr6m2l2J-Y

just turned in my ballot and realized i forgot tessio

oh well, everyone else will vote for it

actually i would've voted for synkro if i hadn't inexplicably forgot about luomo

i tried doing this and gave up after listing down 108 tracks :/

well just vote for every other one

just do a write-in vote for your favorites

tbh tho if they didn't get nominated they probably wouldn't have placed

I'm not sure there's much point in me voting at all. Personally I'd rather just see the individual ballots so I can see where there's overlap with my tastes and hopefully get some new recommendations that way, instead of seeing a statistical analysis of the average tastes in dance music of a random sample of 10-15 ILMers.

Somehow I did get a little obsessed with this process, I can't resist a good poll. For my list I tried to conform to the nominated selections where appropriate but I feel like a lot of the nominated songs are not necessarily the artist's best work but rather just the most popular song or else the default 'critics choice' for a given artist. I figure about 1/3 of my selections match the nominations. Here's my picks, make of it what you will.

viborg is that your ballot?

uh oh spoilers

i scrolled past real quick DX

I'd rather just see the individual ballots so I can see where there's overlap with my tastes and hopefully get some new recommendations that way

Several of yours are in mine, but I'll say no more as I don't want to add to the spoilers

viborg is that your ballot?

I'd take it as such

figure everyone will post individual ballots afterward like they do with every other ilm ballot poll

there are definitely some more voices i'd like to see voting

jimitheexploder
the lex
ronan
more goons
more old ilx guard

but whatever, i'll start tallying and maybe give a last minute warning while i tally

i think it should take me about a week to tally

Norm tally.

That was meant to be my ballot, thanks Pacific Trash Vortex. I forgot about the traditional waiting until after the results to post ballots but it seemed like mine would be pretty insignificant if there wasn't really much overlap with the nominated selections. I guess I was just trying to make a statement, or something.

Hmmm, it looks now as if the roll-out will happen while I'm away on holiday. Ah well, at least I'll have bumper results package to check out when I get back (if my browser still lets me load the thread by that stage).

"Hey! We don't serve their kind here!"

"What?"

"Your droids. They'll have to wait outside. We don't want them here."

gree hee hee wrong thread

great stuff
