Put On >>> all these songs coming after it, except maybe Swift and Madonna.
I voted My President instead of Put On tho :( guess it won't make it.

i guess people are taylor swifted out?
Maybe the "OMG teenage girls have feelings too!" crowd and the "I don't get what's so special about this globally massive pop music" crew have finally got tired of rehashing the same argument with one another. We live in hope.

Actually that ladytron is a jam. What would lt fans recommend to someone who has only listened to that 1 yt clip?

Any of the first three albums, but in this order: Light & Magic, 604 and then Witching Hour.

i love the knife and fever ray but i'd be interested to see how many voters had pretty much the same artists on both albums and tracks ballots - i tried to avoid that, really; always think it's better to rep for tracks which don't necessarily have a worthy parent album, or a parent album at all

We Share Our Mothers Health still sounds terrific, as does the Trentemoller remix that amps everything up to ridiculous levels. I might listen to it on the way home actually.
(I wonder if What Else Is There will place, incidentally... the Trentemoller remix is another insanely bombastic classic and the JLC fake filter disco version is just pure euphoria).
2005 is gonna have a load right at the top end, I can feel it.
― Vulvuzela (Matt DC), Monday, 5 July 2010 17:05 (thirteen years ago) link
WSOMH and Seven are the only two nominated that I really, REALLY wanted to see. Although I think I tossed Silent Shout a point or two as well.
― so you want Mark Ronson to cry into your ass (acoleuthic), Monday, 5 July 2010 17:06 (thirteen years ago) link
trentemøller remix of "what else is there?" had better place!!!!!! ditto "in white rooms" and "way out" #ravememories

Also don't get people (unless it was lex obv :D) calling dirty projectors too srs or whatever. they are one of the few current bands who just seem like they having a bunch of infectious fun times.

yeah i'd be curious about that, too -- 17/40 of my tracks ballot are by people who are also on my albums ballot, although only 8 of those songs are actually from the albums I voted for.
― kind of trill and very self-righteous (some dude), Monday, 5 July 2010 17:15 (thirteen years ago) link
Only voted for 2 tracks from my 40 albums.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 5 July 2010 17:16 (thirteen years ago) link
yay wsomh! also i'm glad you belong with me didn't place AS ridiculously highly as it might have. it's a good song but it would have felt strange to see it in the top 10 or something.
― teledyldonix, Monday, 5 July 2010 17:16 (thirteen years ago) link
we share our mothers health is my fav knife/fever ray track, i love it, still didnt make my top 40

skip, you can't mix a ballot between ranked and unranked (or, in this case, give one track a "ranked" amount of first place points and then the remainder of your tracks the allotted "unranked" points). It's all or nothing. I gave every one of your votes 20.5 points because it was specified as an unranked ballot. xp
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 5 July 2010 17:20 (thirteen years ago) link
i just checked and i voted 9/40 tracks from my 40 albums (2 of which were indeed fever ray / the knife)

when's he going to have another album? Feels like FS/LS was forever ago.

I wish he would make up his mind between acting and music. Right now he's just squandering his talent on taking bit roles and writing songs/taking cameo spots re: music. There was a five year gap between Thriller and Bad, though, so maybe he'll have something in 2011.
