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

damn my #1 (The Fall) just missed being top 50. I can take consolation in that.
― sleeve, Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:02 (fifteen years ago) link
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
― Robin van Injury (country matters), Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:04 (fifteen years ago) link
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
― Frank Sumatra (NickB), Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:06 (fifteen years ago) link
Yes, bravo once again to musically! God these polls are fun - and I'm finding some great new music too.
I think that might have been me! Mainly for Timb's opening address and my conviction that everybody's actually saying "varmints."
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:09 (fifteen years ago) link
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.

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?
― The Reverend (rev), Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:12 (fifteen years ago) link
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!
― Boring Sign In Name (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:12 (fifteen years ago) link
actually I take back the M.I.A. vitriol if it means LADY GAGA isn't in the top 50.
― danzig, Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:13 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― Robin van Injury (country matters), Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:14 (fifteen years ago) link
thank you musically. I also gave "i hate this part" some love.

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:

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.)

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.)

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.
