ILM's 2022 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / VOTING THREAD

so this explains why i cannot stop eating yogurt

lmfao sorry

what i MEANT to write was: I would have absolutely nominated and voted for the Tyshawn Sorey Trio 3-disc record— came out too late in the year for me to give it a listen, it is really good

Voted!

Thanks pollrunners and stoked for the rollouts

Okay are we closed?

about an hour left before I shut it down

apologies to all the tracks I was foolish enough not to make room for

everybody who hasn’t voted yet vote for Skeng’s “London” instead of me

Voting is closed!

74 tracks ballots (slightly fewer than last year), 93 album ballots (slightly more than last year)

don’t think it’s eligible

ILM's rockist year
Or maybe everyone is into ambient now

The nominating and voting and waiting for the year-end poll are the best parts of the year music-wise
Then of course the poll results get published

jk, I'm still excited, when do we start

People being mad about the top results being relatively predictable is too funny. I'd almost like to see a rollout that starts with #1. The bottom half is the real fun. More discoveries.

xp I think when i filled out the form, it said rollout planned to start on Monday

Didn’t vote but interested to see if any of my noms made it. Hagan and TSHA and Ron Trent and Space Ghost, artists of that nature.

Was the book in the tracks or albums poll?

i think the book vote was from me (albums poll). it was a cut & paste error, but it is a most excellent read.

lol, I thought someone had intentionally voted for the Dylan book or something

My top 2 albums are definite top 10, likely top 5, and I make no apologies for being such a consensus centrist because they’re GREAT.

I also ditched my long-running preference to not vote for tracks from albums I also voted for, because in several cases I think the tracks are more likely to place than the albums.

we're going to defer the rollout for a week so moka and forks can put together the art/blurbs - we'll start on the 30th

I don't really care if anything I voted for places, but it's interesting to see if anything makes the bottom reaches with one or two other votes. I agree that that's the fun part, discovering more music from the depths.

I didn't vote as an experiment to see if any of my noms actually get votes

You could’ve still voted and seen if any of your noms received >1 vote(??)

Break week! Can anyone nom me a nice book?

xp no I want the records to succeed or fail on their own merits!

admittedly I am being somewhat flippant, I should have given Wau Wau Collectif a boost but things have been crazy in life

that's one of the things I voted for!
