must be up to or just over 50 ballots now at least, right?
a fair way beyond that now, competitive with last year's EOY poll which i wasn't sure we'd get to. turnout has been decent!
2 & a half hours left but if anyone is not quite done then please post here so i can wait for you, within reason

Should I get an acknowledgment, just checking I didn’t mess it up.
― Dan Worsley, Monday, 8 August 2022 21:47 (two years ago) link
I've got your ballot
do people want email acknowledgements?

xxp great to hear - I know the anxiety of watching the votes come in and wondering whether there will be "enough" (whatever that means)
― TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Monday, 8 August 2022 21:59 (two years ago) link
Voted!
Can't believe nobody nominated Let It Go! Would have thought that was a lock for the top 20.

My not nommed bad was Strawberry Skies - Games. I might have put it Number 1!
― kraudive, Monday, 8 August 2022 22:04 (two years ago) link
It was nommed, unless there's a group called Strawberry Skies that did a song called Games.
― eatandoph (Neue Jesse Schule), Monday, 8 August 2022 22:07 (two years ago) link

Oh, should mention I added a quick edit about ten minutes ago, but no worries if it's too late!

it wasn't mentioned but Bjørn Torske's Fuglekongen from 2016 was amazing
― Dan S, Tuesday, 9 August 2022 00:35 (two years ago) link
ok that's it then, voting is closed. thanks everyone!
the rollout will probably not start for at least a week, Moka is working on the images
― ufo, Tuesday, 9 August 2022 01:01 (two years ago) link
thank you and Moka both

Stoked for this definitive determination of what music was good
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 9 August 2022 01:26 (two years ago) link
There were 77 good songs. Maybe.

There were only 50 because that’s all that was allowed. Everything else was terrible.

you got mine?

yeah
― ufo, Tuesday, 9 August 2022 04:29 (two years ago) link
I have no idea why I thought it was 60, but easily remedied since they were weighted ballots.
― beard papa, Tuesday, 9 August 2022 06:06 (two years ago) link
How many ballots made it?
― octobeard, Tuesday, 9 August 2022 07:07 (two years ago) link

Just plug 'em all into Dall-E and see what happens? ;)
― ban, buddy (imago), Tuesday, 9 August 2022 07:51 (two years ago) link
someone can do that for this year's EOY poll!
― ufo, Tuesday, 9 August 2022 09:18 (two years ago) link
Would be more appropriate for 2022, true
― ban, buddy (imago), Tuesday, 9 August 2022 09:29 (two years ago) link
Love the idea of DALL-E imaging the 2022 poll

Oops I forgot to vote :)

84 seems really good, right? is that on par with other big polls like this?
― gman59, Tuesday, 9 August 2022 20:58 (two years ago) link
As far as other non-artist specific polls:
Classic Rock Tracks - 63
Grand Disco Poll - 40
Greatest Rawk Trax of the 1970s - 56
1990s ELECTRONIC ALBUMS - 24
1980's Rock Poll - 87 album ballots and 62 tracks ballots
ELECTRONIC DANCE TRACKS of the 00s - 42
ALL TIME RAP MUSIC POLL OF THE GODS - 35ish
ILM Top 100 2005-2009 - Somewhere between 80-90

Around how many does an average EOY poll get?
― Disarm u with a SMiLE (morrisp), Tuesday, 9 August 2022 22:08 (two years ago) link
the 2021 poll received 77 tracks ballots and 86 albums ballots so this is very much in line with that (78 received of each)
EOY vote numbers have been declining for a while though, used to be a fair bit higher than that

Disco gotta be re-polled, gotta say
― Bait Kush (Eric H.), Tuesday, 9 August 2022 22:53 (two years ago) link
The 00s poll from 2019 had 100 ballots for tracks and 111 for albums.
― MarkoP, Tuesday, 9 August 2022 23:39 (two years ago) link
I will do a top 100 for both tracks and albums!
Will start working on images and bbcode, hopefully I can get time to add also a small blurb from zines that gave a positive review on each track / album.
If everything goes fine I might be ready to roll next Monday, if not it will probably be until Aug 23. Will update my status this weekend to confirm when we’re live!
Thanks everyone who nommed and voted!
