!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I VOTED IN THE 2008 ILX ALBUMS & TRAX POLL AND I LIKED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (poll now CLOSED)

yeah i prefer it when people don't post their votes too, plus i am worried that some people are posting them here instead of emailing them to me?

how about we post ballots AFTER the poll to review instead of while we're waiting. i'll direct anyone who posts their ballot here to send it in via email if they forgot. i think the thread is better used for campaigning anyway.

musically can you check your email please?

I've received 50 ballots so far...since I got 60 last year I would say we're definitely on pace to break the record.

a couple of great drum & bass tracks:

High Contrast - If We Ever

Danny Byrd - Shock Out

Come on, there has to be more than fifty voters. Doesn't the ILX group on Last.fm have a few hundred members???

most ilxors are too busy/lazy to compile a list AND email it.

huh? on last year's results thread that was just linked on here, you said that there were 75 ballots cast.

hmm...i don't remember where I got 60 from...according to the threads last yeah i got 64 tracks ballots and 75 for albums.
