//////////////shawty got poll poll poll poll poll poll poll (part I: 2008 TRAX)\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

I didn't specify if a remix version also got points (if it shows a remix it probably means the remix is the only thing that got voted for), this was a v quick and dirty list. Some of the numbers might be off since I just put it together but I will stand by it being 99.9% accurate.

lol @ max

Was just thinking about how I went to see Hercules & Love Affair a few months ago, and the best thing about the show was hearing the opening DJ play "Happy House," which sounded amazing in a club.

damn that top 4 is awesome. no other songs i voted for made the countdown until #4, and then #2 and now #1.

The Rip did win Portishead - Third (THE POLL)

^^this is not actually a profound revelation, like, in the slightest, it's a feeling which is barely important enough to mention in passing on a livejournal, let alone have a pop song about

Dude, it's fucking rock and roll - the documentation of all of youth's woes, simple or complex, is what it's all about!

pretty great list imho

btw it's not missing the point to pick your favorite song from an album and nominate and vote for it in a songs poll - it's actually exactly the point

Non singles = Lindstrom, HMHB, the Air France ones, maybe The Rip.

1 - Madonna & Justin Timberlake - 4 Minutes

This is hilarious.

WAU @ "Happy House" coming within mere points of winning the poll. I thought it would place at like, #18.

46.5 - Pussycat Dolls - I Hate This Part
37.5 - Teedra Moses - So Kool
32 - Wookie Ft Ny - Falling Again
21 - Trina Ft. Killer Mike - Look Back At Me

^^^heyyyy who was with me on these ones? show your faces so i can give u a hi-5 <3

TVOTR & Badu also non-singles

1 - Madonna & Justin Timberlake - 4 Minutes

This is hilarious.

― Maximo Park Ji-Sung (Matt DC)

i wanted to put a list together of the things that didn't get ANY votes just for the lulz but it would be wayy too much work.

Dude, it's fucking rock and roll - the documentation of all of youth's woes, simple or complex, is what it's all about!

no no no no no no no just everything about that sentence makes me break out in hives

Thanks very much for putting this together musically, I owe you five pleasant evenings

"The Rip" was the second single from Third btw

I gave "I Hate This Part" 9 pts

oh and btw...

MUSICALLY IS AN ABSOLUTE HERO AND WE <3 HER!

oh yeah hi-5 and <3 <3 to musically obv. AND she voted for 'i hate this part'. the best ilxor!

damn my #1 (The Fall) just missed being top 50. I can take consolation in that.

Sleeve, I haven't heard that Fall song but I gave it a point or 2 on account of having seen descriptions of it. If I'd known, I'd have given it a few more.

"11 minutes of MES ranting about his age over varied and raucous instrumentation, including a crazed banjo" sounds like a riot IMO

btw it's not missing the point to pick your favorite song from an album and nominate and vote for it in a songs poll - it's actually exactly the point

I think the point is when it applies to albums that are well more than the sum of their parts.

A+++++ job, musically

Yes, bravo once again to musically! God these polls are fun - and I'm finding some great new music too.

1 - Madonna & Justin Timberlake - 4 Minutes

This is hilarious.

I think that might have been me! Mainly for Timb's opening address and my conviction that everybody's actually saying "varmints."

thanks everyone, and thanks for participating too, since i started doing this the number of ballots and votes has gone up considerably. like i said when i first started something with 2 votes made the top 50 so this is a lot better. and thanks to whoever set up ILX so youtube videos could embed, saves me the effort of finding a single cover and makes the poll a bit more interactive.

i'll start albums on Monday. there is definitely some craziness going on with the results so hopefully it will be as interesting.

*hopes that aforementioned craziness involves some sort of Late Of The Pier top-3 placing*

from the top 50
Portishead: 387.5
Lil Wayne: 388 (ex. Cassie)
Aeroplane: 430.5
MGMT: 436
Kanye: 528 (incl. Estelle & Jeezy)

hen i first started something with 2 votes made the top 50

That was awesome tho! Something from a Yemeni oud festival that Rocket Scientist and Sundar voted for iirc?

I suspect a lack of metal due to the metal poll and everyone will have voted for mostly non-metal stuff(myself included hehe) Still a few albums that ranked high should sneak in the top 50 unless people didnt vote in both.
But I wouldnt be surprised if it missed out too!

actually I take back the M.I.A. vitriol if it means LADY GAGA isn't in the top 50.

And yeh, cheers musically! I'll be going through all of that lot soon enough, seeing if I really did miss out on some stuff I'd have liked.

I think the two highest-placed metal tracks in this poll were ones I nommed :D and one of which (Torche) came fairly close to placing.

thank you musically. I also gave "i hate this part" some love.

ah yes

50. Ahmad Fathi - La Tisafir
(39 points, 2 votes, 1 number one)

Thoughts? Streaming link?

Ahmed Fathi is a singer and oudist from Yemen (I think it's Yemen) and I voted for him because Sundar nominated him and I figured, okay, what the heck, lets vote for Ahmed Fathi then. But the track in question is just part of this wonderful collection that resulted from an oud festival:

http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000HT2J94.01._SS400_SCLZZZZZZZ_V59714698_.jpg

It's a good piece though.

(I never expected it to actually make the list. I guess this is the best evidence that this poll needed more participants.)

― Rockist Scientist, Tuesday, May 1, 2007 6:45 PM Bookmark

from the early days of the "blind" hype sometime in late '07, i've been trying to share the enthusiasm and have never mustered more than mild appreciation. it's ok, but, you know, it's no ting tings ... (i did have "hercules theme" on my ballot, tho)

(and oh yeah THANKS! musically. nice job.)

and guess who voted for them :)
x-post to lj

Oh yeah thanks for this musically!

xp Have you tried the Frankie Knuckles and/or Hercules Club mixes? One of them might be more your speed.

Jazmine Sullivan - Need U Bad

sacrificed my jazmine trax in the hope that the album will place...couldn't decide between my favourites ('in love with another man' and 'lions, tigers & bears') and the most likely track to place ('need u bad') anyway

I didn't vote the album. For some reason I played the hell out of it when it first came out then could no longer stand it at all.

new youtube embed formatting has kinda ruined potentially good zings hasn't it?

Jennifer Hudson - Spotlight (Quentin Harris Mix)

biggest regret not voting for this - couldn't decide between og and rmx, not that it would've mattered. that song was a bigger part of my 08 than some that i did vote for.
