You'll probably hate a lot of it but it's relatively varied, I think.
I'm mostly enjoying it actually, only as far as Hookworms though. Yamakata and Matmos really good.

249 Paramore - Daydreaming 105 3 1
it was behind a fucking Lorde album track
The only Lorde songs it was behind are "Royals" and "Team", which are both top 10 hits. The actual Lorde (mostly) album track that I voted for at #1 was even lower.

Hopefully not the annoying neighbours you hate. xp
Main things I'm kicking myself for: dropping 'Wenu Wenu' for some weird reason, not listening to 'Q.U.E.E.N.' before voting ended.

i don't remember what i voted for, the same as p&j but with some stuff thrown in, mainly i voted for kacey musgraves, so i was disappointed that there wasn't more kacey musgraves, but i guess that's the way it goes
otoh i expect good things in the album results
― j., Thursday, 23 January 2014 22:17 (ten years ago) link
One of my favourite things about the individual ballots is seeing how stuff that I only quite like is vitally important to others, it's a good reminder that there's always more to whatever you're listening to than merely what you hear in it.

glad to see your ballot btw!

Given how many songs we all hear and kind-of-like in a given year, Top 25 is a pretty strict cutoff.

Q: would permitting a larger ballot flatten out the results or would it make them more esoteric?
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 23 January 2014 22:22 (ten years ago) link
Would depend on how voters reacted, I guess. Also, "flatten" could mean different things. More homogeneous wrt genres, artists,...?
Personally I think 25 works well.
― a man with legs made of sausages - that's not real! (seandalai), Thursday, 23 January 2014 22:24 (ten years ago) link
it depends on the voters rather than the amount on ballot. In previous years I would have said esoteric (and argued thus)but now? A larger ballot would work on albums but I dont think tracks.
How about giving the #1 more points tho?
― ۩, Thursday, 23 January 2014 22:25 (ten years ago) link
You could give a "#1 bonus", then you'd have to decide what to do with unweighted ballots and how to minimise fractional scores.
