How am I the first deftones nom? wtf people

"faded" wasn't a hit in the states until fall of 2000

forgot so many tracks. and there's a distinct lack of Richard X/Alan Braxe/Jacques Lu Cont remixes nommed (the TWD ones listed so far are my faves though!)

I feel like "Big Pimpin" is in many "Best of 90s" and "Best of 00s" lists just based on whatever mood the list maker is feeling that day. No one knows what decade this song is from.

wiki says the album came out three days before Y2K, and the single was released April 2000, which would make it more 00s.

I have a distinct memory of it playing at a summer barbecue in 2003 too lol.

Kinda scared with only four days left that there are so many classic albums left un-nominated... here's my favorites from the era - could have easily added another 20.

same here

another 20 you say

nah, nobody's going to vote for anything I nominated anyway and idk why I'm even bothering, 20 more won't help

that certainly isn't true

ya probably want to wait for the results before making that assumption :)

I'm really just here to join you in the exaltation of Blueberry Boat, after that my work will be done

I guess somebody besides imago and I might vote for Ape Of Naples, maybe

Arovane - Tides
Played the shit out of this album. (mp3 slsk download, convert to ATRAC3, upload to MD LOL)

tt says to say "we love sleeve's taste" and i can only concur

team blueberry solidarity - everyone listen to sleeve's nominations!! and everyone else's haha

aw, too kind, sorry for griping

fwiw my top 5 there are probably Invisible Map, Live Low, Huffin' Rag Blues, Likeness, and Bob Dinners

got it...

We will listen to them all!
