I like your style, Bee!

Does Spoon have the most noms of any artist on this poll?

probably, and i could have put more Spoon songs in but then too much vote splitting. might happen anyways.

thanks Thermo Thinwall!

i just picked the first 50 that i came across that wasn't already nominated. i'm sure i could do another 100 plus and still have high quality songs of my opinion.

this is going to be such a hard ballot to put together.

I was playing the tracks spotify playlist and ran out of free skips just as Party For Two came on. Thanks ilm.

speaking of Spoon, i saw Transference and "Trouble Comes Running" were both nominated. these are both barely out as they came out in January 2010.

Just to reiterate, you have until I leave the house at roughly 10.30am BST! That's 10 and a half hours from now! Happy nominating!

Building Castles Out of Matchsticks - Building Castles Out of Matchsticks

50/50

XP: Oooh, I considered So, but figured I'd be the sole vote. Nice.

It really was one of my favourite albums of that year and still sounds beautiful to me.

I usually assume and accept that I'll be the only vote for a bunch of things.

that So album is awesome

I love Maryanne Amacher's Sound Characters

playing it makes me feel like something is moving in the walls of my house

I can't figure that one out, I've really cranked it and I get how the high frequency stuff is supposed to work but it just seemed painful and I didn't understand the low frequency stuff at all. I should try it again with the newer amplifier, there's a lot of low end.

(with MY newer amplifier, to be clear)
