TIMBALAND TRACKS POLL (voting deadline Saturday, September 10th at FIFTEEN AFTER THE HOUR midnight EST)

Close voting now I say - a tie is a thing worth having imo.

nahhhh -- keep 'em comin' people

Yeah -- we need a resolution.

(Sorry.)

tbh i am waiting to put in my ballot last in part so i can strategically break any ties or move some favorite songs up a little, although the turnout has been so great that it's not like i'll be able to have MUCH influence over the final result even doing that

i dug up an old timbo best of that i had made a while back and i stuck it in my car tonight -- but it was pretty beat up and on half the songs i was like "... is the CD skipping or is this a next level drum pattern that i never picked up on?"

ha there's part of 'do u remember' that always sounded like the distortion i'd get when my cell was getting a call & was resting on my discman back when I used to play that cd instead of as mp3s

xp I always do my ballot first when I'm running a poll, precisely to avoid that temptation. I don't think my conscience could take knowing it's only 'cos of me that J-Lo's #1.

Three questions:
1. When are you rolling out the results?
2. Top... 100? 50?
3. Hope you glanced over my, uh, haphazard ballot before thanking me for it.

yeah i thought about doing my ballot first before any came in, but then i procrastinated and they started rolling in and i was like 'oh well.'

i am definitely doing a top 50, and i am definitely rolling them out between monday and friday this week but i'm not really sure when it'll start (which somewhat depends on how late our last couple stragglers are) or when it'll end, although i'm leaning toward not stretching it over a long 5-day rollout. anyone have any preferences or suggestions in that department?

everyone gets thanked for their ballots, imo the more the better so there is no such thing as bad input to a pollrunner!

You could 3 days -- 20-20-10. That builds a little drama for the end.

yeah i like that idea. hopefully i'll know tonight whether that'll start Mon or Tues or Wed. i'm guessing people would generally prefer results get posted during US daytime hours? if that becomes tricky for me any day(s) i may e-mail that day's results to someone to post while i'm busy, if anyone wants to step up for that (maybe forks?).

Just emailed my ballot to you, sd. ridiculously late I know, no worries if it's too late for inclusion. looking forward to rollout of the results!!

you're in! still going!

Sent through webmail.

I didn't vote for worst Timbo tracks - what's going to sweep the field there? I haven't, er, kept up with "Ghetto Techno" or his tracks w/D.Guetta or Jet, heh.

i should've noted before, but only sending to the address at the top of thread works, my ilx webmail goes to a defunct address

only 5 of the 30+ voters sent in worst ballots, so i'm probably going to do away with the 'results' for that altogether, or may just unveil the one or two songs that actually were listed by multiple people.

ok voting is officially CLOSED. i'm thinking results will start on Tuesday morning or maybe Wednesday (although the results thread might start with some teasers and early info before that). people who volunteered to write blurbs have been given their songs to write about and will hopefully get those back to me before i need 'em.

also as i said up thread i may pass the baton to someone else to post the results for me while i'm out here or there, so if anyone who'll be around and posting during the day this week wants to volunteer, let me know.

if you need someone to cover a blurb last minute let me know & i should be able to throw something together

like if someone cant get it in or w/e

ok thanks

dittos
tho i may need a day or so to get the ones you sent so you know, trust your gut

if u didnt vote for this eff u imo

what is it?

'is that yo bitch'

phew.

I think I voted for just about every pre-2001 Jay-Z/Timbaland track except the Foxy Brown collabo, and even that's pretty great. "Hola Hovito" was in my top 50.

track i'm wondering about how it places, wondering if it can make the top 5 some how: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

is that yo bitch was a last minute addition to my ballot, had completely forgotten abt it, and then was like oh shiiiittt

I included it in a 'hmm i can't remember which version i like, give [x] points to whichever one comes highest kthx'. Think it was the first time I heard Twista.

When is this kicking off?

Tuesday morning, most likely.

hey sd i never did get back to you but if you still need some blurbs or whatevs i can do it, pretty much for anything on my list

cool, i'll e-mail you a few you could do!

anyone have any bold predictions for the results?

I take it the surprising number one you mentioned earlier is no longer the case?

top 5 at a guess:

beep me 911
pony
my love
big pimpin
work it

the #1 is a bit more obvious than it was at one point

xpost top 5 with no aaliyah???????

i og had one in a million but i dunno... maybe try again? she'll def have those two in the top ten.

top 4

get ur freak on
are you that somebody?
big pimpin
pony

oh shit are you that somebody... plz say i didnt forget that off my top 40. must go check now.

top 10 prediction:

gyfo
beep
work it
the rain
ayts
oiam
try again
pony
big pimpin
my love

oh thank fuck i did.

huh wait Ugly some how should make the top 10... right?

smh for all time if "my love" makes the top 10

Snoopy Track is my outside bet to place high

haha this is fun, i may set aside certain predictions to feature later as "eerily prescient" or "hilariously wrong"

i dunno y'all p4k loving hipsters and my love was their #1 of... whatever year it was. do love that song even if timb has done much better.

snoopy track was my #1 but i think timb is such a great singles guy that an album track doesnt really have a chance

oh shit how did i forget it, it must be top 10 #2: oops (oh my)

about 1/5th of the top 50 is album tracks actually

yeah but for someone who oft. produced whole albums with people, getting 40-50 isn't really making me re-think that 'my love' will do better than 'best friends' or 'snoopy track' etc.

smh if tweets 'call me' isnt in the top 10

I will take either "Call Me" or "Oops (Oh My)"

gotta be oops
al, working on yer blurbs now

cool

anyone want to be my backup person to post results if i'm busy during the day this week? like i'd just e-mail somebody a chunk of the countdown to post one at a time over a few hours if i know i'm gonna be away from the computer for a while and want to keep the results coming.
