^^^ my favorite video on the internet

lol

Mika’s ballot in plus one more, bringing the total to 40! With that I’ll unofficially close balloting.

40 ballots, that's impressive!

I'm violently happy with the turnout.

Can't wait for the results and to see individual ballots!

How many ballots do ILX polls typically get? I don't think I've participated in one in years

low of around 20, high of around 50 iirc

I ran Stevie Wonder and it got something like 30 ballots.

Madonna poll, which I still consider the gold standard, had 57 ballots.

lol i think that was the last one i did

Madonna poll was immense – much the best yet.

Totally; I can't really think of many other artists who have such an immense career catalogue.

OK, so I still need to verify everyone's ballot as being accurate in my spreadsheet. I expect results can start next week.

if "Karvel" and "Domestica" doesn't place I'm deleting ILX.

Domestica is in my top 10 so hopefully there’s more of us.

Forgot about Karvel goddamit. That one is amazing.

What’s the thread title going to be? Venus as a Poll / My love is a Poll / Poll is full of love / something else?

'Ilxor Behaviour' would be a refreshing 'poll'-less title.

I definitely think the opening post could quote liberally from “Human Behaviour”: you better be ready to get confused / there’s definitely definitely definitely no logic / but oh to get involved in the exchange...

'Hyperballot' was an another excellent early suggestion.

^^^^^ yes

It should be Hyperballot, yes.

"there’s definitely definitely definitely no logic" is what I hum when I read every single ILM poll results thread tbh

I'm fond of "Hyperballot." Tho I like saying "poll is full of love" out loud.

Hyper-ballad will be number 1 too so

It it really such a consensus choice? It was my #21.

i cried watching the “hyperballad” video last week lol

Were you thinking about Karl's cat?

lmao

It’s the winner in past bjork singles polls so maybe?

BJORK SINGLES POLL (debut-vespertine)

Bjork singles

🤐

Weird how Bachelorette is a favorite over Joga, I don’t think it’s even in my top 5 for Homogenic.

If there was ever a consensus pick to make me happy it’s easily Hyper-Ballad.

unravel is my fave bjork song ever fuiud

"our love in a ball of yarn"

this ballot roll out makes me nervous i've neglected a genius bjork track just cuz there's so many

I love Bachelorette but also agree with this.

I started my ballot with the notion that she has about 60 songs that deserved a mention.

I'm sure I could find 30 Björk songs to put in front of Hyperballad. Post is also one of my least favorite albums in her career (and yet it's still rather good).
Anyway I missed this poll so I won't have to lose mental energy over ranking her songs.
Some that would feature in my ballot would definitely include: Human Behaviour, Venus as a Boy, The Anchor Song, Army of Me, Isobel, Joga, Unravel, All Neon Like, Immature, All is Full of Love (single), Hidden Place, Cocoon, It's not Up to You, Undo, Pagan Poetry, Sun in my mouth, Heirloom, Unison, Vokuro, Who is it, Desired Constellation, Ancestors, Mouth's Cradle, Triumph of the Heart, Earth Intruders, I see who you are, Vertebrae by Vertebrae, Not Get, Atom Dance, Utopia.
+ Play Dead, A Generous Palmstroke (live with the harpist), Charlene. And to nominate one remix: Crystalline by Current value.
Well, I think it's already over 30. I think at the moment my official favoritest Björk song is still Hidden Place.

and if the poll organizer wants to include my late unranked ballot (I know ilm is nice like that sometimes), I substract The Anchor Song, Army of Me and Unison back to make it 30 exactly (not counting the current value remix either).

and since I'm at it: 1) Homogenic 2) Vespertine 3) Medulla 4) Debut 5) Volta (6) Vulnicura 7) Post 8) Utopia 9) Biophilia)

and to make it 4, I've gone through the thread and haven't seen the remix I mentioned, and maybe it's not too known, crank it up because it slays

(to pair with that beat-drop facebook video... what was that btw)

Nabozo, if you can put that in the form of an email, I'll let your ballot slip in. I'm not revealing until next week.

Alternatively, if you just want me to count all 30 of those as "unranked," I can do that too.
