review of nominations and VOTING for (very nebulously defined) ELECTRONIC DANCE TRACKS of the 00s

got em

how many ballots so far?

same as before, no new ballots

VOTE PEOPLE VOTE

in other news i just sent a professional email to a stranger from the email i am using for this poll, god damn you google multiple sign-in

I will vote in the fullness of time

yeah sorry, it's a problem w/ me, not the poll, can't get behind anything right now.

working on it

I voted! And I managed to be surprisingly purist in my ballot too.

Looking at my selections though, I'm simultaneously struck by the sheer wealth of musical quality it presents as well as how seemingly pedestrian my tastes are.

Bring on the 90s poll amirite!

(obviously not right away, of course)

i'm more excited for the 88-99 poll too

going back a few days here but TLG misquoted teh 1st appearance of the gay homo house meme:

for the record, Buttez/Pato is one of my favorite posters ever.

you are not only into terrible, gay, homo, awful, house, music but you are also a complete homo and suck tons of penis.

its the comma between "house" and "music" that made it stick imo

otm

chaki or gr8080?

Oh man, I'm going to have to listen to soooo much techno before the 90s poll.

I just got stuck on the X-101 through X-103 series and I'm going to be at a loss to figure out which tracks to vote for.

Hey late great or any of the dance thread regulars, if you want to add me on Facebook I think I'm the only friend of Tim or the Reverend with this first name.

i would but i'm not friends with anybody on facebook ;_;

Well I post almost everything on my Facebook that I post here so you're not really missing out.

Except for some topical Wisconsin related humor.

chaki or gr8080?

ha, the comma

Aargh, again I curse Canada's hate for Spotify.

isnt it the other way around

Oh, maybe. I was kind of assuming it was an issue of anal copyright law (even though Grooveshark is fine) but maybe you're right.

dan perry to thread

the late great did you get my vote? i voted i think i know i made a list

i encourage everyone not to vote btw since the fewer ppl who force the official list from my own ballot the better

hi late great, I don't know when will I get the time to go through the list and vote but please don't start without me.

holy fuck i just discovered that jlc remix of britney :-O

...and acid washed 'general motors'

i'm more excited for the 88-99 poll too

I promised to do the 90s poll, but I'm not sure what time period it should cover. Including the late 80s makes sense in that the the electronic dance music boom of the early 90s began then. But how far back should we go? To 1988, with "Good Life", "Theme from S-Express", "Bango (To the Batmobile)", etc? To 1987, with "Acid Tracks", "Strings of Life", "Pump Up the Volume" "The Promised Land", etc? To 1986, with "Your Love", "Love Can't Turn Around", "Can You Feel It", etc? Or even further, to include early house, Cybotron & Model 500, electro? Or should it just be 1990-1999 so it's simpler? Maybe a separate poll for 80s dance music?

since i want you to be able to continue posting in interrogatory sentences i'm going to arbitrarily declare the poll will include everything published after "sharevari"

88-93 / 94-99

best of dance poll 88-93 (house ONLY!)
best of dance poll 88-93 (acid ONLY!)
best of dance poll 88-93 (bleep ONLY!)
best of dance poll 88-93 (jack tracks ONLY!)

techno 1979-1999 (detroit influenced)
techno 1979-1999 (not detroit influenced)

yes i think splitting the poll into pieces might clarify matters

Right, going to try to chop my shortlist of 66 into a top 50...

...on closer inspection, several of these (run into flowers, silver screen shower scene, dooms night, fix my sink) are not the versions I like

which are the versions you like?

you can do write-in votes for other versions if you like.

No - I need to get rid of something

Well I'm pretty sure dooms night is '99.

Who sneaked Midi Rain on there? It's from 1991!

struck by how seemingly pedestrian my tastes are
How I feel every day tbh. That said, I will get my votes in at some point in the next couple of days - need to catch up with a few more of the tunes from the noms list that I don't know first.

How did I forget to nominate "Another Girl."

Should have really trawled through the spreadsheet earlier - went through looking for anything I may have missed while compiling my list, and none of the tracks I nominated back in this post were visible. Oh well, voting for most of them anyway.

(Took me till I reached the lack of Shit Robot's "Triumph" in the spreadsheet to make me do a double-take, though)
