or 30/30 if my original list qualified (minus the repeats)

It did.

Sorry for all these "Note to self" posts, but it's how I keep track when plowing through the thread because using a bookmark isn't as practical.

NOTE TO SELF: both spreadsheets updated and alphabetized as of this post.

TRACKS

Beach House - PPP
Joanna Newsom - Leaving the City
Dawn Richard - Calypso

(23/30)

Seems that this came out in 2013, is this a year of impact nomination? I get that the Villalobos mixes are 2015.

yeah I mean I only heard it when I heard the Villalobos mixes but they were more excellent for introducing me to the original than on their own merits imo so feel free to strike it - i'm sure i can use the extra nom spot. on that note

ALBUMS

Not On Tour - Bad Habits
Les Ambassadeurs - Rebirth
Baroness - Purple

TRACKS

A-WA - Habib Galbi
The Mountain Goats - The Legend of Chavo Guerrero

(30/30 + done)

To each their own, but I've never understood the practice of nomming a whole bunch of album tracks from the same release. I mean if one is your personal favorite that makes complete sense, but when people nominate 3-4 or more tracks from the same album at once, I've never understood that.

even if they were singles?

can't believe Woman's Work and Slowly hadn't been nominated yet

To each their own, but I've never understood the practice of nomming a whole bunch of album tracks from the same release. I mean if one is your personal favorite that makes complete sense, but when people nominate 3-4 or more tracks from the same album at once, I've never understood that.

voting post to be on grounds of year of impact, don't think it placed last year but couldn't find the full results

uh that should be

DBH - Mood

Albums

Floating Points - Elaenia
Swervedriver - I Wasn't Born To Lose You
Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - A Year With 13 Moons
Daniel Bachmann - The River

TRACKS

(16/30)

Also, that should be

Windhand - Grief's Infernal Flower

good record

Vote splitters please note that we currently have nominations for 8 cuts off Carly Rae's Emotion, 7 songs from Future, 5 cuts from Kendrick's To Pimp a Butterfly, 5 songs from Young Thug, 4 cuts on Ashley Monroe's The Blade, 4 cuts on Colleen Green's I Want To Grow Up, 4 cuts on Roisin Murphy's Hairless Toys, and 4 cuts on Susanne Sundfør's Ten Love Songs.

these are all what i'd think are singles-heavy albums (maybe not Green?) so it seems weird to complain about vote splitting noms as if there are a bunch of nominations for joanna newsom or destroyer or sufjan stevens tracks.

A couple more nominations:

ALBUMS

Zalys - Reminiscences
Zalys - Sublime

(24/30)

fucking silly post. wild horses could not stop me from nominating 'slowly' and putting it very high on my ballot. some albums just have loads of tracks people connect with

I'm not saying if you have a favorite album cut don't rep for it. I've nommed and voted for album cuts when they stood out above the rest of their album. It's just the people who nom a whole bunch of songs from the same album that confuse me.

maybe they love all those tracks? Looking at the kind of acts getting the multi noms its the ones that in the old days might get 4-7 singles off an album depending on how successful an album was.

i kinda agree with you rev as it can be boring if the same big acts get their songs placing above lesser known ones that might be better, but I can see WHY people do it

if every track off an album got nominated then that would be a joke of course

If i liked an album i might nominate every track otherwise I dont think I'd be able to fill a whole 30 nominations (which is far too many anyway)

well, the lex would then say why not vote for the album instead of every track?

and id agree with him

Nominations don't cause vote-splitting, voting does. And artists making more than one good track in a year.

Why wouldn't they vote for the album AND the tracks? I reckon if you love 5+ tracks from an album you're going to vote for it.

i was talking about saer saying he would nominate every track from an album if he liked it

I assumed saer was the kind of person who could only like an album if he liked every single track on it.

Songs:

Alex G - Bug
Elvis Depressedly - N.M.S.S.
Fit Siegel - Carmine
Florist - Vacation
Freddie Gibbs - Fuckin' Up the Count
Go! Team - What D'You Say?
Juan Wauters - I'm All Wrong
Leon Bridges - Coming Home
Niagara - Impar

I assumed saer was the kind of person who could only like an album if he liked every single track on it.

― moans and feedback (Dinsdale)

the opposite! a record with one good track on it is a good record

there's always something on crut's albums nominations that blows me the fuck away

last year, weyes blood. this year, looks like it'll be matchess
