I promised myself I wouldn't cast a tracks ballot this year...

*gasp*

Lol? Every time I do one, its always an ungodly mess, including surely this time, even though I'm limiting myself to less than 10

(Camoufleurs songs are shameless plugs; they're my cousin's band, who put out an EP on Bandcamp early this year. Am genuinely smitten with both of them though, both gorgeous alt-country confections, first time I've felt this way about jangly indie in quite a few years)

a moderator still needs to clean up that paul santa cruz post midthread...

(always nice popping in this early and seeing how many favs have been nominated!)

(JME - Don't @ Me should be credited to JME ft. Skepta, Shorty & Frisco - Don't @ Me)

there is going to be some serious CRJ vote splitting.

And Future too...

and young thug

never sure why people don't think about that before nominating every single album track but oh well! tbh in those three artists' cases even if only their biggest tracks had been nominated there'd still have been mega vote splitting

TRACKS

ITPDWIP - Мне не больно (It Doesn't Hurt Me)

(6/30)

didnt expect to get this far so soon!

I don't know if you're allowed to nominate if you never vote, but I would like a couple of people to at least be exposed to the existence of:

Missy Mazzoli - Vespers for a New Dark Age.

xxl you nominate the track you like best and when someone releases a whole album of bangers (or a number of bangers spread out over 4 albums), this'll always happen.

OPN has been nominated about 6 times now

TRACKS

New Order - Tutti Frutti
CHVRCHES - Leave A Trace (Four Tet Remix)
Clarian - Absence
Shanti Celeste - Universal Glow

ALBUM

Santiago Salazar - Chicanismo
Gacha - Send Two Sunsets

20/30

TRACKS:
Beck - Dreams
Pitbull feat. Chris Brown - Fun
D.R.A.M. - Cha Cha
Alessia Cara - Here
Wet - Deadwater
Tkay Maidza - M.O.B.
Janet Jackson - No Sleeep
Elohim - She Talks Too Much
MUNA - Loudspeaker
Gesu no Kiwami Otome – Watashi Igai Watashi Ja Nai no

(20/30)

Hama - Torrid

This should say 'Torodi', not torrid. That was spellcheck.

I have just been listening to the Nils Frahm solo piano album, it is a very delicate work of subtle beauty, it didn't quite strike me at first - but now it has.

there is going to be some serious CRJ vote splitting.

And Future too...

There honestly should be a separate Future ballot poll for his 2015 output. Would save a lot of hand wringing.

almost tempted to do something like this and then ask the poll makers to consider the top 3 results as the nominations. What's the total number of fields in a regular ilm poll again?

Drake - Hotline Bling
Nicki Minaj - Feeling Myself ft. Beyonce
Justin Bieber - What Do You Mean?

Babymetal placed last year, Dan, so not eligible. You could nominate their live album if you want though - contains the same songs, basically ;-)

tracks

Titonton Duvanté - The Reason Why

(7/30)

Dick Diver - Melbourne, Florida

rly hope saer's nominations actually exist

I am so confused about what year it is right now

so scratch the Babymetal and include:

ALBUMS

The Weeknd - Beauty Behind the Madness

TRACKS

Lena Willikens - Howling Wolf

TRACKS

Lim Kim - Awoo
Got7 - Just Right

ALBUMS

Julia Wolfe - Anthracite Fields

3/30

Could someone who knows about these things tell us whether these are the same?

AE_LIVE_DUBLIN_191214
Autechre - AE_LIVE

AE_LIVE is basically a collection of live shows. Each live show is one individual track. AE_LIVE_DUBLIN_191214 is one of these tracks.

To be honest, I'm not sure whether AE_LIVE_DUBLIN_191214 should count as a track or album. You could basically see AE_LIVE as being a collection of live albums.

So AE_LIVE_DUBLIN_191214 is a whole set? Feel like that should count as an album and AE_LIVE is too big to count as a single nomination.

Yes please! Here are Permalinks for the posts that should be deleted:

ILM's 2015 End of Year Albums & Tracks Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

ILM's 2015 End of Year Albums & Tracks Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

xp

but wikipedia considers AE_LIVE to be an album (running time 9:19:02)

To be honest I would prefer to able to vote for AE_LIVE as a whole, but it's no big deal for me either way.

I nominated Max Richter's Sleep above. It's 8:24.24.

Ok if wikipedia says it's an album then it's an album (I guess like a multi-volume compilation would also be an album). In which case I'm not sure where AE_LIVE_DUBLIN_191214 would fit in.

TRACKS

Amani - Heartbreaker
Feza ft Chege - Sanuka
Brothers Osborne - Stay A Little Longer
Cam - Half Broke Heart

(14/30)

but AE_LIVE_DUBLIN_191214 is a whole set, comprised of different sections which could technically be cut up into individual tracks. each of the nine recordings is an album, albeit nine versions of one album, more or less.
