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

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.
― viborg, Monday, 11 June 2012 18:07 (eleven years ago) link
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).

i haven't looked at or read any of this stuff pertaining to this poll b/c i'm allergic to (300 new answers) and haven't had any time recently. i don't have any time right now either or for the next few days probably? i feel a bit stressed out.
― kanye kardashian (lex pretend), Tuesday, 12 June 2012 11:40 (eleven years ago) link
i shouldn't have posted in here i feel even more stressed out
soz i'm not in a mindset to deal with the massive commitment that is an ilx poll right now
― kanye kardashian (lex pretend), Tuesday, 12 June 2012 11:42 (eleven years ago) link
just send a list of 50 songs you like off the noms spreadsheet (first post) and then forget abt it
― ┗|∵|┓ (sic), Tuesday, 12 June 2012 12:08 (eleven years ago) link
personally i think the best way to vote on this poll is just to skim through the list and find 50 tracks that you remember and remember liking and think "oh yeah i want to hear that again!"
― the late great, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 16:17 (eleven years ago) link
i will try hard to do this tomorrow in work. it's hard to find the time but i do want to.

i know this is my fault, but can't believe there's no arto mwambé in there.

yeah, massive oversight. i'd kind of forgotten how much this bangs. voted another agoria high to make up for it.
― second only to popcorn (or something), Tuesday, 12 June 2012 22:53 (eleven years ago) link
i think would be in my top 10.
there are some wacko omissions but obv plenty of great stuff to choose from, i'm only putting that down to the sheer volume of music.
can't believe hystereo "winters in the city" is there but no "corporate crimewave".
― ooooiiiioooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaoooooh un - bi - leevable! (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 12 June 2012 23:01 (eleven years ago) link
there is a tuff city kids remix (half of arto mwambe) should be more though.
― dsb, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 23:18 (eleven years ago) link
what are the wacko omissions?
feel like hystereo, agoria and arto mwambe are decidedly b-list, ot to be generous, "deep picks" compared to stuff like "black water", "man with the red face", "one more time" etc etc
― the late great, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 23:25 (eleven years ago) link
voted another agoria high to make up for it.
did this with Still Going Theme because Spaghetti Circus wasn't nommed
― ┗|∵|┓ (sic), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 00:06 (eleven years ago) link
that makes sense though - i feel like if you polled many clubgoers or dance fans they'd be much more likely to know "still going" compared to "spaghetti circus"
― the late great, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 01:02 (eleven years ago) link
I like both but feel like they are second-tier DFA in the grand scheme of things

― coal, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 06:27 (eleven years ago) link
sort of know what you mean, with hystereo it's more the inclusion of a track that isn't their best that surprises me. with agoria it's that plus the fact that my personal experiences are clashing with whatever detached critical "is this better" questions you ask. i've heard that agoria track out way more times than "man with the red face", which i'd consider a "deep pick" in reality. "man with the red face" is brilliant but it doesn't feel essential to me, what year was at? i'm sure i heard it first soon after release but it's always felt like an older classic to me, the same way i feel about i dunno, "strings of life" or something, except i like "man with the red face" more than lots of those time-honoured tracks. i think if you go or used to go to clubs and stuff a lot some of these things lose their sheen and you're more inclined to go for the less popular pick, just because it might mean more.
i've got about half done, i'll post a list of stuff i think could have been included here too, not to nitpick or whatever just so people can hear it if they haven't heard it, or for the purposes of discussion.
― ooooiiiioooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaoooooh un - bi - leevable! (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 08:54 (eleven years ago) link
prefer deep picks to classics whatever either of those things are idk but kinda dont really have any use for a list that has one more time in it
― coal, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 09:50 (eleven years ago) link
I like 'One More Time', but Daft Punk by then were not really what I call dance music, it's electronic sure, but I couldn't lose myself on the dancefloor to something like that, it just seems far closer to rock than dance. There's verse/chorus/middle-eight, it's all disruptive to any kind of long form dancing experience.
― Chewshabadoo, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 12:00 (eleven years ago) link
it's a close relation to a whole load of house tracks.
i'd have liked "too long" in there from that record but dunno if it'd make my top 50. it's all pretty reductive though.
