ILM's 2019 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD

I am going to spend most of the rollout of the results annoyed that the rest of ILM doesn't agree with me

― totally unnecessary bewbz of exploitation (DJP), Friday, January 24, 2020 12:33 PM (two minutes ago)

is there some other way to spend the rollout?

It's getting a lot of points from our house and has quite a few fans elsewhere. It'll definitely make the 77. Have you heard Splendor & Misery yet btw? That's high on my decade list let alone 2016

Yeah I've gone back through their catalog and listened to everything once, which is why I said on Twitter:

FYI I think I am prepared to declare @clppng artists of the decade

tbh imago, i know nothing about rugby. nor cricket.

but high hopes for the EOY scrum nonetheless

xps

Fair shout DJP. I was mostly on board until S&M which was some leagues-above stuff

here's to a fair game with no gouging or high tackling

is there some other way to spend the rollout?

There's what I've done the past few years, which is forget to vote and then spend the entire rollout making fun of the music other people like

a time-honored tradition tbh

i voted!!!!

It's always tougher than I think it'll be, this voting lark. Will get my ballot in tonight, though.

Sorry DJP, but while I like the clipping. stuff I know, I haven't listened to this album so it won't make my ballot ;_;

No worries! Go listen to it but don't worry about the ballot

got my albums done and my tracks down to 26, what do i get rid of

spoiler: clipping made one of my ballots

Voted!

(nb no clipping)

i voted!

i even did a tracks ballot which i usually never bother with

Right, my ballots are almost ready to go but I've put a few write-ins on my tracks one. I say this most years but I use my ilx ballots as a record of my listening over the year, and I like participating more than I have a desire to "win", so I really don't mind if the write-ins don't get counted. Sorry to the runners if this is annoying though.

I forgot to vote for 2 albums that were high up in my shortlist so i'll need to resubmit. I'll also submit a tracks ballot this time

resubmitted albums ballot and also included a tracks ballot this time

Voted!

I wish DJ Khaled ft. Cardi B & 21 Savage's "Wish Wish" had made the nominations list -- my favorite Cardi appearance of the year.

Also guys please give pomenitul a hand and vote in
2019 Metal ’n’ Heavy Rock Poll: VOTING & CAMPAIGNING thread (open until the 7th of February)

Thanks, Neech.

I will try to get a list in tonight.

karl is otm above about the RAP - Export album, it's great

Only gone and done it, mates.

Voted! Very exciting

The following is listed twice in the albums list:

Toshio Hosokawa -Gardens
Mario Caroli, Ukho Ensemble Kiyv & Luigi Gaggero - Toshio Hosokawa: gardens

Poll-runners take note: accidental vote-splitting because of this could cost it its top ten spot.

I've fixed this behind the scenes - vote for whichever you want but they'll be counted together.

just put a 20-album ballot in, that's all i can muster

voted, went with fully weighted b/c i'm a hardened voter nowadays with less sympathy for the bottom of my ballot

have made the cruellest cut, let's do this

excited to see the rollout, i think this past year has been the least i've ever paid attention to whats popular, on here or elsewhere. very real chance that i haven't heard of multiple things in the top 10

it is done, no looking back

i think this past year has been the least i've ever paid attention to whats popular

I've got a very 'pop' oriented tracks ballot but only really in sound rather than popularity. I've been trying to think of BIG albums and tracks that will definitely place and could only come up with LDR and Billie Eilish.

BELFAP!

Oh shit, I did read you guys coming up with that but now I can't remember what it stands for.

big
eilish
lana
fka
angel
purple

lol belfap

Ah yeah, that's right.

oh shit bollocks, forgot to nom the richard youngs album, one of his best ones too

voted.

okidunnit

quite a lot i forgot to nom and then some of the stuff i did nominate didn't sound all that hot when i came back to it this week. oh well, just a bit of fun so lets be cool

~12 hours left to vote!

voted

only four points between the 1st and 2nd placed track - every vote counts!

fingers crossed for a tie

Voted! Tracks nearly killed me. That Black Coffee track was a late-breaking inclusion.

it's on my list too

voted~

this may be the first time I voted that my #1 album isn’t in the top 77 - it was my top nomination but I didn’t campaign for it and haven’t seen it mentioned here

*first time since I started voting

Voted. A little sad I didn't nominate the Versus album.

Voted. My feelings yo-yoing between the old lady’s conviction and the little girl’s bewilderment right now. Could do with some black coffee.

awesome last minute discovery: the Khana Bierbood album

I had high hopes for doing a thorough listen to all the nominations, but in the end a short unweighted albums ballot was all I could manage.
