Lets see who gets their 1st ballot in.

re: Please vote for a maximum of 30 albums (please order them)

i dont remember. But this year it's ranked lists. It was all decided on the nominations thread and noone objected.
30 points for no1 29 points for no2 and so on.

But anyway, who will get the 1st ballot in?

Working on mine right now!

In.

did you get an automatic reply? I tried setting that up.

Yes I did, thanks.

There was a new Solitude Aeturnus this year? I slept on that one somehow...

Ah, live DVD. That makes sense.

thanks phil

cheers Adrien, got it.

Sent in my ballot -- BUMP.

Ehm, I'm missing (at least) 10 albums that were on the nominations list halfway the previous thread, see here. They probably got lost in the martian shuffle, right?

maybe john justen can add them?

These might not be the only ones missing btw.

Voted! Thanks for doing this gentlemen.

Voted!! Looking forward to the results!

Well hopefully everyone will vote!

please

Damn, I meant to do this today. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

Indeed. There's plenty of time but I'm hoping we will get more voters this year. I'm hoping Skot might be persuaded and hopefully roxy wont go bah humbug this year.
So please everyone try make a list of at least 10 and no more than 30.

no more votes today sadly

I'll add those albums to the main list later tonight or tomorrow, we have had a nail cutting incident w/the hound so I have to deal with that first.

on the plus side it looks like a carcass cover right now in my living room, so the metal theme lives on

(dog is ok btw, although he seems to think that this stupid bootie he is wearing is very undignified.)

not a metalhead and wouldn't want to spoil your list with embarassingly hipster-nack picks, but i just wanna vote for

Baroness - Blue Record

because this is the most fun i've had listening to metal in a long time.

ah, okay, i'll risk a vote for nadja and black-boned angel as well. anyone else voting for it?

im sure you can make a list of 10.

but should i, if those are the only ten i've heard?

sure.

Voted.

Voted.

Heard 9, another 9 are on my to listen to list. Should be doable in 4 weeks.

ah, okay, i'll risk a vote for nadja and black-boned angel as well. anyone else voting for it?

Yep, it was #16 on my list. Good record, but I ranked the Nadja and Black Boned Angel full-lengths a bit higher.

Thanks to all who have voted so far, got 11 votes atm, so please keep em coming. If you cant list 30 albums remember 10 will do (or anything inbetween)
All ilxors can vote, so please do!

just voted.

have to say, I knew what my #1 was gonna be but I pretty much just hastily threw together the rest of the picks. I didn't listen to much metal released this year...

cheers guys, that's 14 ballots in now. Keep em coming!

Merry Christmas everyone.

Suck it.

thanks for your ballot, jeff

Boxing Day bump.

and again

15 votes!

I need to make edits to my list. Should I just resend it or tell you what I need to change?

Cheers, jeff. Look forward to reading it!

I guess today is the last workday to vote, so perhaps anyone who is gonna vote should start thinking about doing so.

Also lets have a bit of fun (to help keep thread bumped) Let's see everyone's predictions for what they think the top 10 will be.
Results haven't been tabulated yet so I have no idea about the actual top 10 but I'd like to see what you all think it will be and we can then compare it next week when the results are up.
So please predict away! (do not mention who you voted for or post ballots here).

My guess for the top 10:

1. YOB
2. Kylesa
3. Shrinebuilder
4. Sunn 0)))
5. Baroness
6. Zu
7. Gay Witch Abortion
8. Katatonia
9. Mastodon
10.Greymachine

Although it's only a guess, I don't think there was an obvious consensus outside of YOB like there may have been last year.

I think pretty much everyone liked the baroness record. (yob too, yeah.)

Yeah, and that's why I put it that high, but I sensed a move towards the end of the year that on balance it had been slightly over-rated and that the Kylesa record had been slept on a bit.

My complete wild-ass guess at the top ten:

1. Baroness
2. YOB
3. Sunn O)))
4. Converge
5. Kylesa
6. Gay Witch Abortion
7. Gnaw Their Tongues
8. Katatonia
9. Mastodon
10. Slough Feg

I don't think YOB have crossed over outside the metal thread regulars yet so I'd be surprised if it won. But since the votes haven't been counted yet and others still to cast their votes who knows.

my best guess for the top ten:

1. Baroness
2. Converge
3. Mastodon
4. Kylesa
5. YOB
6. Sunn O)))
7. Coalesce
8. Shrinebuilder
9. The Gates of Slumber
10. Katatonia

I wonder if anyone will get close to the actual order. Keep your guesses coming!

Those top ten guesses are nothing like my own list, which I'm still working on.

just cast my vote...

I'm in and bumpin'

thanks guys!! no sign of nate carson or djmartian or jj's votes yet, hope they havent forgotten!

Just sent in mine. My top ten wasn't what I expected it to be a couple of weeks ago.

Got it thanks, I like your no1, not got enough love in the poll so far so nice one!

oh and mordy will be happy with you and m to the g!

it looks really close. any ballots received now could change it dramatically. So vote!!

Can I vote again in hopes of making it so Baroness doesn't win? Please?

I love being happy! Do you need a blurb? ;)

You regretting voting for it as your no1?
xp

yes mordy go for it.

Anyone else want to write some blurbs? Lemmy cant write them all y'know!

Mordy - I got to hear that Jamie Saft album and it's pretty good. Don't know if it would have bumped something else off my ballot, but thanks for being so vocal a supporter. Definitely worth having in the collection.

you still have space to add 10 more albums, EZ

Thanks for listening to it. I ended up delivering a paper on it earlier in the year, and I've got an interview I did with him somewhere around here if people are interested. xp

Mordy earlier this year
http://www.funday.gr/images/games/paperboy.jpg

I do? I'll have to look into it - I've heard a few things of quality that might be worthy. Though I might just leave it at twenty because after about 12 I'm not super enthused.

Everyone has 30 votes so feel free to add to it

I'll think about it. If you don't have a new ballot from me by morning assume one isn't coming.

OK. I'll post in the afternoon once time is up, so If I haven't said voting is closed on here then you have time.

47 votes in. Get it to 50!

ok voting will close in an hour. this is your last chance.

I'm not revising my vote so don't wait for me. Just didn't have enough time to spend with the latecomers to give a proper assessment.

OK. Got 2 late votes so I'll keep this open til 3pm (14 mins)
If you want to vote but dont have time say so here before 3pm and I'll allow you time to vote since Glenn isnt online.

It nearly missed LBI's vote as it went into spam, dunno why. Luckily he msgd me on last.fm to check I got it.

as things stand his vote might change the order. EZ Snappin has his fingers crossed.

Glenn isnt online yet so i guess i can accept votes until he is incase nate,jj or dj martian wake up.

How are you announcing the results then Pfunkboy?

votes sent, hopefully you're still willing to count them

ok glenn isnt online and i sent him the rtf file with the votes but i'll pass your ballot on to him.

Neil it all depends when glenn can do it

jj can you edit the title saying voting has closed please?

I have no idea of the results so i cant do anything til glenn can do them. He has a family and so will be busy today but i'll start posting results whenever i get them. be patient! I'll be up late tonight so if he is around later then great, if not , tomorrow.

Without Glenn this poll couldn't be done so please thank him.

And thanks to everyone who voted, WE GOT 50 BALLOTS!!!
20 more than last year. I didn't realise we had so many rolling metal lurkers and i recognise a few names from years ago on ilm , so thanks to them for voting and don't be afraid to post on the rolling metal thread or the results thread.

title edited

Thanks.

Anyone else wish to have a go at posting their guess at the top 10? See who was closest.

OK Glenn has emailed me the results overnight!
Want a top 100 this year?

How many ties would that involve?

none

wau

actually theres 5 ties for no 100 but there's no ties as such because 1 album has more actual voters than the others. so i think thats good enough. i only count as a tie if an album has the same points and number of voters and has zero no1 votes. A no1 vote places ahead of number of voters in my system.

Go for it.

ok suggestions for thread title?

!!!!!!!! ILX METAL ALBUMS of 2009 POLL RESULTS!!!!!!

Well that was intuitive.
