I didnt get a chance to nominate stuff this year and pretty much everything I wanted to vote for wasnt listed.

I guess I should listen to the Yamankata // Sonic Titan album then.

It really is great

hah some dude its just funny as I never read it. but I guess seandalai doesnt have a list for terrorizer poll

Thanks so much for another fantastic EOY extravaganza Johnny Fever and seandalai. I think this was one of the best run downs in history. Very varied, something for everyone, despite a couple of repeat artists. But the important thing I think is that so many styles got a look in, and that Hot Fruit placed.

Here's my weighted ballot.
Apparently I read Pitchfork and am closest to PFunkboy in taste.
Tracks that didn't place have YouTube links and I suggest you lot watch them ALL because they're flippinnnng great.

2. Poliça - Tiff
3. Vampire Weekend - Step

10. Classixx - All You're Waiting For
11. Daft Punk - Get Lucky
12. Stylo G - Soundbwoy

and yes thanks tojf & seandalai!

devvvine confusing me by voting for some of the more baffling (to me) inclusions in this poll AND my number 1, at number 4

*searches own soul*

something for everyone

Not really.

Hot Fruit came in at #63 iirc, so there's your "something".

Don't know what my list was anymore, I voted SNSD - I Got A Boy to #1, someone else did as well, only 5 votes in total means a miss, unfortunately.

That was me! Probably one of the reasons we're closest neighbours. We need more campaigning next year.

Yeah, I guess so. Just would've liked a bit more variety in general.

xp

"i got a boy" cut from my ballot at the last minute, sorry k-pop ppl

"Green Gardens" was on my shortlist, EZ

The lower rungs were more in line with my tastes and therefore maybe more interesting. Wasn't that excited by a lot of the top 15 bar a few exceptions. But that's the tracks list for you.

Lol @ my Blood Sausage award. I was gonna use emil.y's 'nobody within or without' line but I did get a few songs that got some traction behind them ( The Hive, Rianticism is Always Fatal, Oh Bondage Up Yours!)

My other two votes besides Bardo Pond were #beautiful (which is kind of a Starburst commercial but I do like better than Get Lucky or Blurred Lines) and KING's In the Meantime which I thought was way cool. Voted for Amel in albums ballot. Wouldve posted 'Trapped Being Human' for imago if lex hadnt got to it first.

I feel a little exhausted after that... can't wait for the albums roll-out.

*Romanticism

Nice one for voting Oh Bondage Up Yours, Drugs A. Money - that was my #1

You'll probably hate a lot of it but it's relatively varied, I think.

I'm mostly enjoying it actually, only as far as Hookworms though. Yamakata and Matmos really good.

249 Paramore - Daydreaming 105 3 1

it was behind a fucking Lorde album track

The only Lorde songs it was behind are "Royals" and "Team", which are both top 10 hits. The actual Lorde (mostly) album track that I voted for at #1 was even lower.

post yr damn ballot G3orge

my neighbour is someone called m✧@mindl✧✧✧.c✧✧

i could easily have filled my top 10 with paramore trax

optimistic about their performance in the album results now. #2 in the aggregated artist poll!

I didn't bother nominating anything for tracks and put my votes together very quickly with not a lot of thought so this isn't really representative of what I thought the best tracks of 2013 were but here you go:
