why does anyone do lists?

to make sense of things, to bring order, to commemorate

i don't have any agenda, durr durr durr brought up the idea and i thought it might be fun?
i see a lot of poll threads on ILM and i never click on them because i basically don't give a shit about what they're polling about, thought i'd step in and facilitate this one because i have a lot of past dance-thread sins to make up for. also because i always looked at those threads on new answers and thought "we should do a dance one".
i always thought about doing separate house and techno ones but always figured it'd be hard to draw the line and everyone would get super-frustrated, sort of smh that we're doing a much more inclusive poll and people are still arguing about it

to answer your questions
1) i don't think there's enough critical distance to do something canonical on 00s dance music. it's hard enough coming up w/ a disco canon let alone 00s dance.
2) i am pretty certain that the results are not going to look like 50 tracks i'd want to take to a desert island w/ me ... i'll feel lucky if five of my picks make the top fifty let alone ten
3) not sure what an aesthetic soi is, is that like a soi disant critical theorist of the hardcore continuum?

I think the most effective thing to do is have a sort of "flag nomination" system, where if you see something you don't want on, flag it, and it will go to an external review board (i.e. we'll debate it here for 2 days to no conclusion).
I see that my two Barbara Morgenstern noms were flagged as "pop?". If you really must, you can delete "Gute Nacht", as it is kind of a synth poppy (though everything in it is still electronic beside the vocals), but "37°" is a pure instrumental electronic tune with no singing.

I see two Knife songs have been flagged as "popish". I'm pretty sure they're Lutheran.
No good can come of whittling down the nominations. If you can go through to flag things you want to get rid of, or things you want to keep, you can put a ballot together. Just let people vote and call them a feeb if you don't like their list afterwards.

Also: DL nominated Röyksopp's "Eple", but it isn't in the nomination spreadsheet.

always curious about this urge some people have to stroke chin and say "Venetian Snares is electronic music and you could dance to it if you wanted to hmmmm??? do you see?????" tho

like a common reading of the parameters wdn't generate enough options to vote for.

That's true, though i suspect more stuff will be flagged as "pop" than flagged as anything else.
Clearly anyone who votes for Venetian Snares should be forced to submit a YouTube clip of them dancing to it or have their ballot considered void.

Good to see Slowhouse - 03 A1 up there, what a tune.
― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 27 April 2012 07:48 (twelve years ago) link
Is it too late to add:
Ada - The Red Shoes
I noticed a lot of tracks in the spreadsheet, but not this one, which is the one I've seen get the biggest reactions on the dancefloor.

Yeah, if your nominations are missing, just put them in, or mention it here (but again, if you have no intention of voting for it, probably no point of having it there).
While I think submitting 50 track list first solves a lot of problems, I doubt people are willing to submit a list, and then submit another one.

Just let people vote and spare the endless handwringing.
― Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Friday, 27 April 2012 09:10 (twelve years ago) link
Like when magazines or websites do these sorts of lists people are basically free to vote for anything with no nominations process and those turn out alright*, the number of nominations is a red herring.
*Okay they are often lame but not as a result of having too many options to vote for.
― Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Friday, 27 April 2012 09:12 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, at this point the nomination system is kind of... well, pointless (other than giving a convenient advice list to refresh people's memories).
but yeah, OTM.
And why did someone 0_o my Poison Dart/Skeng noms? The former is definitely top 50 material.

"Venetian Snares is electronic music and you could dance to it if you wanted to hmmmm??? do you see?????"
dancing to ragga/jump up/breakcore is not some foreign thing that people decidedly don't dance to unless they're trying to make a point reserved for hypotheticals, like i don't even understand where people can come from with this unless they've been to zero dnb parties ever at which point how can you get all decider-er on anyone's appropriate place in edm

I think Coal was pointing and laughing at Venetian Snares rather than making a point about their eligibility.

Okay, here's a start on a spotify playlist, let me know if it works:
spotify:user:lumpygravy:playlist:1y6YgTuBxq8bmwdTnKbJrX
Only got to the end of adding the A's before I got horribly bored, but I might do more another time. Only 50% of the tracks were available (39 out of 78). Feel free to chip in...

Would it be really bad form if I abandoned alphabetical order and just added ones I nominated?

You get the noms you deserve, whatever people decide is suitable is de facto suitable because its whatever ILX thinks is suitable and if that means Hot Chip and Venetian Snares instead of Mr G or Mike Dunn there's nothing wrong with that, its what ILX is into
