Best albums (and tracks) of YOUR favourite albums (and tracks) of the ENTIRE NOUGHTIES: 2000-2009 Ballot Poll Nominations + Campaigning Thread

No. 1?

Ok, anyone is allowed to nominate their no. 1 song if it's missing. However, if their ballot later shows up without that song at no. 1 their ballot will be discounted! Isn't power fun

Thanks, imago!

Here we go!

Alexis Strum - Nothing Good About This Goodbye

:)

on I plunge playlisting

The Chemical Brothers - Surrender has been officially thrown out of this poll for being released in the middle of 1999, sorry ledge

noticed we all failed to nominate merzbeat, or indeed any merzbow. what has become of us? only my colossal respect for imago stops me from voting for it anyway

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

There is now an Albums master list!

Tracks to follow.

If I've made any errors, let me know and I'll correct...

The Chemical Brothers - Surrender has been officially thrown out of this poll for being released in the middle of 1999, sorry ledge

i was going purely on my shoddy antiquated mp3 tags, apologies for wasting your valuable time.

Right now I've been playing the fun game of going through the tracks playlist on shuffle and trying to pinpoint what year a song I don't recognize is from without looking at any track or artist information.

xxp thanks! only 1,661 album noms, I can do this.

looks like you've got Dam-Funk's Toeachizown on there twice

A couple more dupes:

Desaparecidos - Read Music/Speak Spanish
Abe Vigoda - Kid City
Elliot(t) Smith - From a Basement on the Hill
Melt-Banana - Cell-Scape
Move D / Namlook - XII: Space & Time
Saint Etienne - Tales from Turnpike House / Up the Wooden Hills
Spoon - Transference
The Advisory Circle - Other Channels
TV on the Radio - Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes

Oh, and Mastodon - Leviathan

Transference turned out to be ineligible.

Has a voting deadline been set yet?

Daamn no-one nominated Daft Punk's Human After All (not that I'd vote for it)

It was pointed out already but Fripp & Eno's 'Evening Star' is presumably ineligible? It was merely remastered in 2008 afaik

TRACKS NOMINATION LIST

As before, please let me know if you find any dupes or omissions!

The Glow pt. 2 is listed under Microphones, The instead of The Microphones where the other such albums are listed

Albums I would vote for, but are not on the list: Xiu Xiu "A Promise", Harvey Milk "Life.. The Best Game In Town", Deerhoof "Reveille"

Xiu Xiu "A Promise"

Fuuuuckkkk.... I was sure that was nominated, which is why I didn't myself...

Oh also: The Mountain Goats "We Shall All Be Healed", like every album is there except the best 00s album

I myself would vote Constantines s/t over "Shine A Light", and Fucked Up "Epics In Minutes" over "Hidden World", and I intend to do so

Will you allow write-ins LJ? 'A Promise' cannot be absent.

is there a voting thread with the links to the nomination lists on top?

My list includes only two mainstream albums (Missy "Under Construction", Erykah "Mama's Gun"), only one Solex album, zero Grouper albums-- one Kranky release and it's "Tired Sounds Of...", Life Without Buildings, only one Xiu Xiu album and only one "electronic" album (and it's Max Tundra, of course)

Dupe in tracks:

Fatima Yamaha – What's a Girl to Do
Fatima Yamaha ‎– What's A Girl To Do?

Oh and I am voting for three Canadian albums. The aforementioned two and Destroyer "Your Blues".

If this is the campaigning thread, let me once again state that the best Fucked Up album is "Epics In Minutes", it is also the best Canadian album of this century, and you can hear for yourself and I am tired of saying this over and over again

https://derangedrecords.bandcamp.com/album/epics-in-minutes

No voting thread until seandalai creates the voting form, and he's only back from holiday tomorrow!

As I'm such a pushover, I will allow anyone who has not posted to thisthread before today a small handful of 'panic nominations'. fgti bring the first of such. But that only applies if you really didn't see this until now.

I'm out now but will make further edits later and add fgti's choices etc

<333

Lightning Bolt - Dead Cowboy is there twice in tracks (my fault for having nominated it a second time)

has to shoot him twice just to be sure

The track list has Isolee - Beau mot plage, which was released in 1998.

Also this one:

― american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, September 19, 2019 5:26 AM bookmarkflaglink

this is a problem tbh

oh i see it's been resolved sorry

The links to both playlists are in the OP though if you want to get going

Death From Above - Romantic Right
should be Romantic Rights

Gorillaz - Client Eastwood
is a dupe and has a typo too

LCD Soundsystem - 45:33
i would call this an album -- it includes "someone great" and a few other songs -- but it's your choice

The Studio - No Comply
The Studio - Out There
The Studio - West Side
the band's name is Studio

Client Eastwood :'D

I might keep it like that

lol i shouldn't go by memory of ILM thread titles

The Studio - West Coast

ok I moved 45:33 to albums, agree it should be there instead

if ledge wishes to protest he may

I noticed that my fraudulent nomination of Robyn - Dancing on My Own is still on the tracks masterlist. Can that please be replaced by ... Rhythm & Sound - Free For All (Soundstream Remix)?

Albums:

The Good The Bad and The Queen - s/t

(18/30)

hahahahahah oh my god there are so many albums and songs hahahahahah

anyway if you hadn't heard weekend by the zazen boys this it is not your fault dear readers but if you don't vote for it now that you HAVE heard of it......... that is your fault
