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

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!

six days left VOTE VOTE VOTE

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)

that's too bad! how did that happen? neighborhood and 138 trek just HAVE to be there.

added those nominations etc

have got my longlist down to 120, don't think I'm going to manage to listen to everything in the next few days

is there an additions list for all the nominations that have been added since this thread started?

nope

RIP

Voted. Putting it together was a lot of fun, it reminded me of (a) how much I love lists and (b) how difficult I find it to make good ones.

TWO DAYS LEFT
