ILM's 2010s Tracks & Albums Decade Poll / VOTING THREAD

XP: arggh, the disappearance from Spotify of seemingly *everything* Príncipe was likely a regional thing too then. Worst region ever, etc, etc.

voted. basically just inserted the lists i made in december 2019 lol.

this is hard.

nashwan please check your email btw

Voted

apologies if my formatting made it harder to total
had to do it on my phone

just checking that you meant to only vote for a single track?

yes, thank you

all good

formatting wasn't an issue at all

thanks - if i do get a chance to complete a 50 tracks ballot (quite unlikely this week) - i'll post an update assuming that's ok

yeah, that's fine

posting to let you all know i am quite close to finalising my ballots

extremely important announcement over

got you covered!

folx, imago would also like to present a single track ballot:

Bad Bunny - Otra noche en Miami

I could only manage an unweighted albums-only ballot but I voted.

i finally got the track list done. making up my mind about the top-5 was tough. deciding on #s 49 & 50 was impossible.
hopefully can submit ballot tomorrow.

shit. just realized i forgot to nominate on of my fav's (Revival by Deerhunter). it's high enough for me that I guess I'm doing a write-in for it. (sorry!)

I noticed that nobody had nominated Desire Lines, which I thought odd, as I'd have probably thrown it some points. Ah well!

i was certain someone else had nominated it (Revival) but looks like it was a difference track.

Just wanted to point out that Ke$ha - TiK ToK is a 2009 song. Is that a "year of impact" thing?

yeah it first hit #1 in the US in 2010 & stayed there for a while, there's a pretty clear argument there

it was also the first #1 of the decade

ok, those are good arguments. I moved right at the turn of the decade, and distinctly remember first hearing tiktok at "the old house". but it definitely grew and grew in popularity.

yeah it had a slow build to #1 in november/december 2009, finally hitting it at the start of 2010 and staying there for 9 weeks

folx, imago would also like to present a single track ballot:

Bad Bunny - Otra noche en Miami

― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl)

Lol

Great choice imago

Tiktok being a 2010s song makes me feel ancient

Fuck I nommed that Bad Bunny track and just realized I didn’t vote for it because I thought noone else would have it in their ballots. I failed you imago.

It's funny, I also moved in 2010, and def. associate "Tik Tok" with the "new house" (tho I wasn't super plugged in, who knows when I finally heard it)

I strongly associate "Tik Tok" with "According To You" by Orianthi.

How many ballots have been received so far? Trying to decide if going the full 50 on each of mine would make a difference or not, and also hoping that the deadline creeps toward the end of the weekend rather than the beginning.

xxp also, ignore me, I'm thinking of "Til the World Ends" - which is not only 2011, but also a Britney song that I always think of as a Kesha song, b/c I'm an idiot.

only 31 so far, individual ballots are still having a fairly large impact, but i'm expecting a significant portion will come in the last few days because that's usually how it is

& i'll extend the deadline to 11:59pm GMT on Monday 8th August

Thanks!

Depending on the number of ballots the rollout will be a top 100. I’d say at least 40 ballots will give the push to not have a bunch of ties in the low end.

i'd be pretty disappointed if we didn't get enough votes for a top 100 (without being pretty silly anyway) but i think we'll get there

there's also at least one album i'm completely baffled hasn't gotten a single vote yet

& i'll extend the deadline to 11:59pm GMT on Monday 8th August

thank goodness. like a month feels like not long enough to weigh in on a decade... but perfect is the enemy of good

album I nominated that is missing from the nominations doc:

Matthew Shipp - I've Been To Many Places

fixed, sorry about that

it looks like i was pretty terrible at catching nominations that were only a few at a time

Voted - somehow I was able to power through this tonight.

there's also at least one album i'm completely baffled hasn't gotten a single vote yet

I'm guessing Daft Punk or Big Boi for this.

Lana del Rey or Joanna Newsom is my guess

Big Boi is a good guess tho. That album seemed adored when it came out several top 3 rankings everywhere that eoy and it lost loads of impact on end of decade.

Maybe one of the cancelled 2010s artists like Kanye or Grimes.

grimes has to be one of the favorites to win the tracks poll haha

I'm absolutely sick to fucking death of Grimes, but she's still on both of my ballots (not yet submitted though)

I can see it being Lana's NFR. Feel like other albums of hers might get more support, especially Ultraviolence.

My Bloody Valentine is another one I wouldn't be surprised it was ignored/forgotten.

Nah MBV is gonna eat

A source close to this poster can also confirm NFR will receive at least one vote.

I am two thirds of the way down the playlist now, can I wrap it up by end of Monday? hm.

i'll say that no one's named the one i'm thinking of so far
