JF and seandalai, thanks for compiling (even though I still think polling an entire century was crazy/folly). I'm very interested in the proposed 1950s tracks poll.
― pixel farmer, Friday, 3 December 2010 22:08 (thirteen years ago) link
meant to post that on the other thread
― pixel farmer, Friday, 3 December 2010 22:09 (thirteen years ago) link
s'okay...I saw it. Yeah, I'm really excited about a 50s tracks poll, but I probably won't initiate it until May at the earliest. I need time to consume a lot of the music first.

stuff i nominated that made it across the finish line:
#122 Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto - Girl From Ipanema#83 Prince and The Revolution - Kiss#57 Nina Simone - Sinnerman#52 Cheap Trick - Surrender
of my other nominations, i'm kinda shocked that Stevie Wonder - Superstition didn't make it, tbh. was hoping for Push It, too, but i guess ain't too many ILXorz love that song like i do...

Ok, I'll dump this here: which voters are "boring indie canon" and which voters are "fringe loose canon" (sorry). It's ordered by the proportion of votes that made it into the top 125. Again I've checked the output only briefly, but it seems to be right.
The format is: rank, user, #votes cast, #votes in top 125, proportion of votes in top 125, points total for all tracks on ballot, average points per track

Thanks I also like yours. Completely forgot to vote for 'la bamba' it was one of my favorite childhood songs.

Moka, I don't think Bill Withers was nominated. If it was, I would've put it in my top 10 or 20.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 4 December 2010 21:36 (thirteen years ago) link
Yes you're right what a grave mistake we've all made.
I already published the text version of my ballot and I think it's the same one I send out. Mmm so there's two erros on the playlist, I didn't vote for Bill Withers nor Dolly Parton. Ended up switching for 'summertime' and 'pink moon'... In the end I didn't vote for the Shaggs, that I sorely regret.
― Moka, Saturday, 4 December 2010 21:43 (thirteen years ago) link
Also regret not voting 'johnny b. goode' thought it has a big chance of making it high on the list without my help.

Actually just noticed there's two more reggae tracks on my ballot:
Dawn Penn - No no noThe Slickers - Johnny too bad
― Moka, Saturday, 4 December 2010 22:18 (thirteen years ago) link
I had Dawn Penn's "No No No" and Desmond Dekker's "Israelites" on my shortlist, but had to cut them to to get to 100 songs. I'm not well versed in reggae, I hadn't heard the Althea & Donna song before it showed up in the ILM 70s poll a few years ago, but I immediately realized how brilliant it is (though in my opinion their "No More Fighting" is even better). Sadly, besides Althea & Donna, none of my favourite reggae tunes ("The Harder They Come" by Jimmy Cliff, "Chase the Devil" by Max Romeo, "In These Times" by Errol Alkan) were nominated at all.
― Tuomas, Sunday, 5 December 2010 12:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Sorry, that's "In These Times" by Errol Walker, Errol Alkan is some other guy.
― Tuomas, Sunday, 5 December 2010 12:56 (thirteen years ago) link
If you haven't heard that one, you should check it out, it's an utterly brilliant version of "Summertime":

I voted for Althea and Donna and The Congos, but only the latter was on the basis of being a standout representative of reggae. Uptown Top Ranking was more along the lines of "this was an excellent pop song".

I'm from the US and first discovered "Uptown Top Ranking" through one of the Avalanches' mixes, "Brains." Matter of fact, I think "I Can't Go for That," which also made my ballot, didn't really enter my consciousness (though I can't NOT have heard it) until I listened to "Gimix."
I didn't think too much about the representative aspects of my list apart from attempting to get some votes for the earlier half of the century, though I still ended up voting more for my favorites rather than being more strategic. Even then, I still had only two to four songs each from the twenties to the fifties. While on the main thread there was a lot of understandable discussion about the paucity of material from these years, I would guess that (at least prior to the fifties) there were probably comparatively fewer sound recordings being made and distributed... so maybe in that sense the list is less empirically disproportionate than it seems, apart from the low '90s count? (Did anyone talk about "tracks" prior to the development of the LP?)
Anyway, I'd love to do whatever kind of poll Johnny Fever or whoever wants to put up, though I never seem to contribute anything besides a ballot. And thanks for this one, too, Johnny and seandalai!

I love your list, btw. A couple of artists in there that I've never heard before (Hildegard Knef, Huggy Bear, Lucia Pamela, Slapp Happy, Renaldo and The Loaf ) but considering how much I love the rest of the list I'm going to search out these songs immediatly.
― Moka, Sunday, 5 December 2010 20:01 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm smashing my head for not including: Nothing But a Heartache, Silver Machine, Popcorn and Powerhouse.
Oh and the Shaggs, of course, but that was an honest mistake I was pretty certain I had modified my ballot to include them before submitting.
― Moka, Sunday, 5 December 2010 20:02 (thirteen years ago) link
xp(...and I was the other Knef voter, emil.y)
My list is on another PC, but looking at the tracks with 101 points, I think I must've been the sole voter for these:
Bobbie Gentry - Ode to Billie JoeDan Hartman - Vertigo / Relight My FireDisco Tex and His Sex-O-Lettes - Get Dancin'Jean Jacques Perrey - E.V.A.Kasenatz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus - Quick Joey Small (Run Joey Run)Luciano Berio - Sinfonia: III - In ruhig fliessender BewegungPierre Boulez - ReponsPierre Henry - Psyche RockSubway Sect - AmbitionTantra - The Hills of Katmandu (Patrick Cowley Megamix)Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go GoWizzard - See My Baby Jive
― Jeff W, Sunday, 5 December 2010 20:03 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm not too surprised about the ones we were the only two voters for, to be honest, Nick. There are definitely some tracks with only one vote that I thought many more people would vote for - not my solo votes, so much, but things like 'Ode to Billie Joe', 'E.V.A.', 'Rockit' and Gal Costa's 'Baby' - the latter not because it's famous, but it is very well regarded by everyone I know who knows it.
The Hildegard Knef track is actually misnamed on the poll, it should be 'From Here On It Got Rough'. That was tough for me as I'd already gone for the Shaggs and Lucia Pamela, so wasn't sure whether to also include Hildegard - she won out for being a bit different and genuinely groovy.
Also, I can't believe Abbott didn't vote for Slapp Happy. So disappointed.

These are the songs only I voted for, excluding 'secos & molhados' they were all my nominees. All of them are personal favorites but I'm honestly surprised noone else voted for 'hello dolly' and 'blues run the game':

I hated to submit such a consensus ballot at the top, but it was honest. I thought the rap/R&B nominations were particularly poor.

^ 289 songs that were nominated but that no one voted for. some real surprises in that list, the louvin brothers "knoxville girl" not the least of them. includes my leadbelly nom, "take a whiff on me", abandoned cuz i had to vote for "goodnight irene".
― phish in your sleazebag (contenderizer), Monday, 6 December 2010 17:39 (thirteen years ago) link
songs that got no votes that i'd have been perfectly happy to vote for. but didn't:
Anton Karas - The Third Man (aka The Harry Lime Theme)Bill Haley and The Comets - Shake, Rattle and RollChuck Berry - You Never Can TellDaniel Johnston - Speeding MotorcycleEast River Pipe - Make a Deal With the City (didn't notice this in the list the 1st time around! so good.)Fela Kuti - ShakaraFunkadelic - Cosmic SlopJerry Reed - Eastbound and DownLeadbelly - Take a Whiff on MeLester Flatt and Earl Scruggs - Foggy Mountain Breakdown (what the fuck is wrong with me that i didn't vote for this?)Love - Seven & Seven Is (!!!)MC5 - Ramblin' RoseMinutemen - Little Man With a Gun in His HandMission of Burma - That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate (both of these two cut at the last minute from my ballott)Phil Ochs - Outside of a Small Circle of FriendsPhillip Glass - KoyaanisquatsiRam Jam - Black Betty (goddam, another i missed that i would have voted for in a heartbeat)Rudy Vallee - Brother Can You Spare a Dime? (dunno whether or not this is the essential version, but a hell of a song no matter what)The Beatles - Within You Without YouThe Fall - Bingo Masters BreakoutThe Louvin Brothers - Knoxville GirlThe Rolling Stones - 2000 Light Years From HomeThe Surfaris - Wipe Out (!!!)The Temptations - Ain't Too Proud to BegThe Who - You Better You BetTone Lo-c - Funky Cold MedinaUrge Overkill - Sister Havana (a guilty pleasure, really struggled to cut this one)Wilbert Harrison - Kansas CityYma Sumac - Taki Rari

I voted for the Bing Crosby version of "Brother Can You Spare a Dime", kinda ridiculous that it had 2 versions nominated. Sad to see "Alexander's Ragtime Band" get shut out, but I already had 2 Irving Berlin songs in my top 10 and didn't really feel like voting for another.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Monday, 6 December 2010 18:08 (thirteen years ago) link
There are quite a few on the no-voters list that I came very close to voting for, but cut at the last minute (for instance, having Hildegard Knef, Lucia Pamela, the Shaggs AND Mrs Miller was just far too much). Particularly sad about Daniel Johnston and the Raincoats, as those weren't even the victim of vote-splitting. 'Magic's Wand' by Whodini was on my ballot for ages until I realised I was being a bit silly.
― emil.y, Monday, 6 December 2010 18:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Also, I don't think I actually noticed Love on the list, even though they had more than one song nominated - don't remember them even being on my first shortlist of around 300 songs, and they definitely would have been had I seen them.
― emil.y, Monday, 6 December 2010 18:41 (thirteen years ago) link
I nominated "Sweet Surrender" and it was the last song I cut. Wish I hadn't.
― sofatruck, Monday, 6 December 2010 19:06 (thirteen years ago) link
Herbert Howells - Take Him, Earth, for CherishingWould've totally voted for this if I'd noticed it on the ballot. And Slade. And The Primitives.
(I wasn't keen on the clustering of all the artists starting with 'The' on the ballot btw, my eyes just glazed over after a while)
