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

my 'why wasn't this track nominated ffs' is Drab Majesty's Dot In The Sky fwiw

filling out the form now, not sure how long the c&p will take..

Am about to vote

at the deadline now, still waiting for imago & geoffreyess at the very least

please let me know if there's anyone else rushing to get in a last minute ballot

ok voted, thanks!

Phew, just in

And in!

Voted! Thank you to everyone involved in setting this up :)

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

no one else still working on a ballot?

it wasn't mentioned but Bjørn Torske's Fuglekongen from 2016 was amazing

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

thank you and Moka both

thanks ufo/moka!!

Stoked for this definitive determination of what music was good

There were 77 good songs. Maybe.

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

:)

But how many good albums

you got mine?

yeah

I have no idea why I thought it was 60, but easily remedied since they were weighted ballots.

How many ballots made it?

84!

Just plug 'em all into Dall-E and see what happens? ;)

someone can do that for this year's EOY poll!

Would be more appropriate for 2022, true

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?

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?

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

The 00s poll from 2019 had 100 ballots for tracks and 111 for albums.

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!

thank you so much Moka

sorry i did not get time but i look forward to the rollout!

can't believe ufo forgot to nom Nao's "For All We Know" (2016)

Omission that was crazy to me was ‘The Underside of Power” by Algiers.

The single

84 votes seems like a lot these days

can't believe ufo forgot to nom Nao's "For All We Know" (2016)

didn't quite make my shortlist unfortunately

84 votes seems like a lot these days

it's pretty much in line with the 2021 EOY poll, not any sort of real drop-off thankfully (which i was a bit worried about because the board has felt even quieter this year generally)

that's good considering the 2021 number and how many years people are asked to deal with here!

i forgive u

What are the main contenders for the tracks poll then? And wonder if any of the yearly poll #1s won't make it, I think probably "Boys" for a start, as people will have voted for other, better Charli tracks (I went for Take My Hand)

based on recent poll results covering similarly broad ground i am going to guess that hit singles by performers who aren't "album artists" will not do well compared to their showings from the year-specific polls

Does "2 On" fall into that category? Cause I think that could still fare well. "Black Beatles", maybe not as much.

These are the number 1s from the past decade:

2010 Girl Unit - Wut
2011 Azealia Banks ft. Lazy Jay - 212
2012 Todd Terje - Inspector Norse
2013 Daft Punk - Get Lucky
2014 Tinashe ft. Schoolboy Q - 2 On
2015 Grimes - Realiti (Demo)
2016 Rae Sremmurd - Black Beatles
2017 Charli XCX - Boys
2018 Peggy Gou - It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)
2019 Busy Signal - Balloon

I actually don't know if any of these are contenders for the decade top spot though.

Some combination of 'what were we thinking' and 'at least we're unique' looking at those lol

I only re-voted for two of those ten.
