Am def going to vote, still listening to a lot of nominations.
I recommend the new Lustre, who’ve dialled back their sound even further to the point where it’s finally impossible to say whether that faint static in the background are guitars of just the sound of a shower hitting the plastic curtain. Drums and vocals are also hitting new records in Metal in terms of how distant and low they are in the mix. The whole experience is like slowly falling asleep in front of a dimly glowing fire, wrapped in a fluffy blanket, holding a huge mug of hot cocoa topped with extra whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles.

wrong poll thread Siegbran!
Forgot to vote in this main poll last year so made sure to get my ballot off right away. Cheers to the pollrunners.

Not 100% sure whether anything from Instant Classic, but this song from the Alameda Duo album is an amazibg, approximation of Bob Welch-era Fleetwood Mac

i forgot to nominate this year, a ballot with some write-in votes are ok I guess?

I don’t make any guarantees about write-ins (if everyone did it the system would break down) but I do make an effort to count them.

Johnny, I know there was a second Spotify playlist created for album nominations since the first one got overloaded, wasn't sure if there were still two playlists for album noms but thought I'd mention it.

Dear Van Horn Street,
There was no email for you given in the ilx mail you sent, but the answer to your question is "Creating the nominations list is an imperfect exercise, and I'm sorry if I missed a nom of yours. You can still vote it as a write-in, but adding it to the main list 50% of the way through the voting period wouldn't help matters. People have already submitted ballots."
Thx,J Feves
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 12 January 2018 22:27 (six years ago) link
Ah fuck I was super busy and I didn't get to nominate songs like XX - Replica or Migos - Stir Fry which I thought would be nominated for sure. Ok I'll work with what we have.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 12 January 2018 22:57 (six years ago) link
^it was also surprising to me that The XX - On Hold and Migos - Bad and Boujee weren't nominated

the trax list is full of great stuff though

Everything is Recorded - close but not quite and Mustn't Hurry by Fever Ray are also not there :S should have nominated.

Zsófia Boros - Lost Objects
So I screwed this nomination up:i) The title is Local Objects; don't know how I messed that up +ii) it came out in Oct 2016
I doubt it will make the top 77 anyway but mea culpa.

I just want to register my disappointment, though - and I know this is my fault for not nominating - that Logic's 1-800-273-8255 and Migos' Bad and Boujee were not choices on the tracks poll. Horrible oversight IMO.

voted just night but just realised that i copied my album votes from a personal list and not the proper noms list (had meant to fix that but forgot). i think that most things should match but there may be a couple of things that don't exactly match. sorry, was totally my fault - happy to email a corrected version. my tracks ballot should be fine though

I noticed that The Clientele - Music From The Age Of Miracles is named incorrectly on the album list (because of me getting the name wrong when I nominated it). I'm not sure it's going to be an issue really, but just in case it does place, it should be Music For The Age Of Miracles.

I didn't get a confirmation either. I didn't even realize how close to the deadline I was voting last night. I've been putting it off because I liked so many albums from this year (a bunch only discovered in the last few weeks).
