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...

gah, i'm breaking down here. i remember reading the talk about it in the thread, like just after it apparently placed, and swear i scrolled and reloaded and everything looking for it. couldn't find it, and decided that it hadn't made it after all. sometimes my brain just goes out the winda.

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

okay, so the one and only song that really took me by surprise in the top 125 was of Althea and Donna's "Uptown Top Ranking". like i said in the results thread, i don't think i'd ever knowingly heard the song or so much as heard of the duo prior to its placing. i don't claim to keep up on everything, but come on: according to ILM, it's the 25th best song of the 20th century! feel i should have been aware.
so i don't mean to bust on anyone's choices, but was curious as to how many of the exposed ballots contained it. turns out that 5 of 20 do. interesting thing is that it's the only reggae song on most of those ballots, not counting UK ska. Which again isn't to fault anyone (i had the fucking police on my list ... GLASS HOUSES), just to point out that it does seems to be the 20th century's single standout reggae classic in a lot of people's minds. which weirds me out, cuz it was so utterly off my radar.
seems to be a UK vs. US thing, right? the song went to #1 in the UK in '78, but never made a dent in the US charts, that i know of. and it's not one of those secret classics that turns up on coffee shop speakers and in movies & TV shows all the time, regardless of whether or not it made the hit parade - not over here, anyway. none of which really matters. it's wonderful, and i'm glad to have finally heard it, if 33 years late. woke up with it running through my head this morning. ...along with "wichita lineman".

There were two reggae songs on my list (ring the alarm, uptown top ranking)... three if you count 'ghost town'. I'm not from the UK and the song might not have any social criticism in its lyrics but I have no problem with it being the most representative reggae song of all time. Granted I'm not a reggae connoisseur but for me it resumes everything I like about the genre, listening to this song immediatly gives me the sensation of being young, of feeling free, of wanting to frolic in the summer. I can't think of many others #1 hits as authentically fun as this one.

I think I may have first noticed that Althea and Donna song on an Elvis Costello list of greatest songs. I'm hoping that will shame any Elvis Costello haters who voted for it, although I personally don't mind Elvis Costello; I find it easy enough to ignore his more annoying moments. Actually, I wish I had kept a copy of that Elvis Costello list. It's probably online somewhere though. I think it was in Vanity Fair or something weird like that.

Thanks I also like yours. Completely forgot to vote for 'la bamba' it was one of my favorite childhood songs.
― Moka, Saturday, 4 December 2010 21:25 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― Moka, Saturday, 4 December 2010 21:44 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

Doomed to split votes whatever they do.
― seandalai, Sunday, 5 December 2010 20:31 (thirteen years ago) link
Wow, totally forgot about 'Rockit'.
― O Permaban (NickB), Sunday, 5 December 2010 20:34 (thirteen years ago) link
'Coming Down' is my favourite, too, but was more than happy to vote for 'Garden of Earthly Delights' as the only nom.
― emil.y, Sunday, 5 December 2010 20:35 (thirteen years ago) link
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':
Billie Holiday and Lester Young - When You're SmilingTricky - PoemsT.Rex - Raw RampSalcos - DemolicionLouis Armstrong - Hello Dolly!Jackson C. Frank - Blues Run the GameDusty Springfield - SpookyDavid Bowie - Letter to HermioneSecos e Molhados - Sangue Latino
― Moka, Sunday, 5 December 2010 20:36 (thirteen years ago) link
I think the tracks that I alone or just me and one other voted for make up most of my favourites of my ballot. A few notable exceptions, mind you.

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".

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)

If I'd known anyone else anywhere was seriously considering voting for it, I'd have organized an off-board voting block.
