ILM's 2017 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

Whoops, not everything was included in the quotes. I am obviously not nominating anything in my last post. Sorry!

We've had the Arcana spammer on here before. FP away ppl.

I move to disqualify that poster's ballot

(ATTN: Johnny Fever and seandalai)

ALBUM

Zephaniah OHora - This Highway

17/30

Sanpaku, are you aware of Bachar Mar-Khalife's father? My favorite album, At the Border (from the early 80s).

Was going to on his twitter but public didn't seem right. He's just tweeted his EOY lists.

someone on facebook encouraged lex to return to ilx just for year-end voting but his response was a pretty firm no

therefore i suggest i be allowed to vote twice

maybe Lex is secretly the Arcana dude.

Spanish words ending in '_idad' are very often the same in English except you swap it with '-ity', so 'navidad/nativity, universidad/University. Therefore Trinidad is simply Trinity

Wrong thread, sorry

(there really are no droners on ilm, are there?)

jesus christ don’t nominate the whole kendrick album

LUST is, like, one of the best songs of 2017. I couldn't not nominate it. sorry

it’s ok i guess, it’s your vote-splitting funeral

Kendrick has survived vote splitting every year. I'd be surprised if anything besides DNA and HUMBLE crack the top 77.

HUMBLE hasn't been nominated yet - it's p clearly one of the album's weaker tracks!

Huh, you're right. Well, it wouldn't be ILM if we didn't buck trends.

I think it's the strongest track on the album, though, but what do I know
