Word. We definitely voted for a lot of the same things: Egyptian Bag, I Wanna Know, Favouride, Shuvit, Renee Running. Didn't even realize Mimi Likes 2 Dance was nominated though.

co-sign, this is a good idea. Pazz & Jop had an EPs poll from '81 to '94 and i think we're totally back at the point where there are enough good EPs being made every year that it'd be worth doing.

― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Friday, 22 January 2016 16:07 (eight years ago) link
speaking to the lex's album vs. singles concerns up thread: what constitutes a strong single in my mind is different than what constitutes a continuous album. For a single, I was condensed and overwhelming emotion that I can unleash in case of emergency; with an album i need sequencing and diversity and continuous answering of the "what's next?" question. I don't know that saying albums are more difficult/more inherently meaningful than singles is right... they're different goals. It's like comparing raising a child or starting a business; there's different levels of commitment and skills at play but they both take work and artistry. Secondarily, there's so much music out there that if I allowed overlap of my album list to my singles, I would lose the ability to look at songs that really really impacted me (hit the quan or que suenen los tambores or kime ne or landmarks for examples) without context. I love getting blindsided by an isolated song and being caught up without any sense of background or oeuvre. It's not the ONLY way I can fully embrace a single song but it's certainly one of the more exhilarating.

― sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a truck (imago), Friday, 22 January 2016 16:23 (eight years ago) link
There is a simple solution to this:
1. list your top X songs that impacted you in isolation; BOOM there is your tracks ballot2. list your top x albums that impacted you as discrete musical units; BOOM there is your albums ballot3. if there's any overlap, shrug and send that shit in anyway
― its subtle brume (DJP), Friday, 22 January 2016 16:28 (eight years ago) link
like, limiting myself to one slot per artist per ballot felt like an onerous sacrifice, limiting myself to one slot per artist in total would have been completely unthinkable
i don't need voting purity to appreciate individual songs more but then our listening habits are possibly very different
i just vote for my favourite tracks and my favourite albums. i dispute lex's claim that this approach produces similar results in the two polls any more than keeping the two separate would, at least assuming we have diverse tastes
it is possible to both listen to albums as albums and also pick out individual songs and listen to them as songs
