ILM's 2018 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / VOTING THREAD

Yay @ extension!1!

Well over a quarter of the youtube playlist is friendly and effusive, top marks to the authorities

Yay @ extension but also boo @ extension as I think I was almost done but now have an extra week to listen to more stuff and then try and work out what I'm going to have to axe to fit it in

oh i had a look and Lee Burton's 1420hz has been deleted from youtube must have had a run in with the authorities in Athens

if anyone wants to re-add it then there is another copy of it here

Would it be possible for me too to resubmit my ballot? I did it in a haste, and now I've realised I'd like to add and change a few things, if it's not too much of a hassle?

Voted :)

Think this might be another year where I'm the only one who voted for my #1 track :(

Original post updated to reflect the new deadline by the way.

Thanks for this! I liked the song so much I streamed the album, and liked the album so much I bought it and have listened to it about four times in the last two days. If I get around to voting in this poll, it'll make my ballot.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes it! I found it through a very unlikely acquaintance's sharing it and got kind of obsessed with a few of the songs on there, but I have no idea how he found it or how popular it is or much of anything about them honestly. They've never been mentioned on ILX apparently? I thought I might have been taking crazy pills because virtually everything else ever recorded has been mentioned on here at some point!!

There are 7 of the 9 songs from the robyn album nominated but the only one i like isn't.

The two best songs on the album are the ones that didn't get nominated smfh

Yay on the extension! There were four pretty big albums that I've yet to check out that I wanted to get at least one listen in before voting.

Maggie Rogers - Fallingwater

i’m glad someone nominated this bc it’s prob gonna sneak onto my ballot, the album made me like it even more

i never loved you fully in the way i should
i fought the current running just the way you would
and now iiiiiiiiiiiii

oh nice i had missed that there was a maggie album this year

Atropos, the closing track on the Harmony Rockets album is gorgeous.

xp the maggie album came out today, so you missed nothing

lol

I'm so behind, this extension is very welcome. I can just about manage a 10-album ballot.

Just voted. Let's go Aviary.

voted

thanks for the extension!

having your #1 track fail to place builds character (also indicates lack of shit taste)

Voted. Included one write-in track. Hope that's OK.

Voted, cutting it close.

the maggie rogers album is superlative starbucks music and I promise I'm not saying that as an insult

Voted (er, a few days ago but forgot to mention it)

yes, thanks for the extension to the 25th seandalai!

I nominated “Fallingwater”. It’ll be very high on my ballot - thanks for giving it a shout out Brad.

The album is great - recommended for HAIM fans. There used to be a few of those around here.

I just resent my ballot, which was redone a bit. I hope you can replace my old one with the new?

otm and one of the reasons i like it

I forgot a crucial album in my top 25 and resubmitted (sans tracks ballot this time). Hope it counts, but if not - its not the end of the world.

If you vote again and post here, I'll go back and delete your first ballot.

Yeah, just as guilty, but not seeing Lando Chill's Black Ego was a bit surprising (it's on my list as a write in)

we were talking about fake new order?

submitting my ballot today somehow

I've voted, quite surprised by what ended up topping my albums ballot but there were four or five in contention with no frontrunner.

And yes, Keflavik made my ballot, that's just glorious.

lol that was fast but i'm done! can't wait for the rollout

Oh yeah, that Kasper Marrot song is so good. I thought I had my singles list ready to go, but I might need to reconsider. Still haven't found room for that awesome Toni Braxton single either.

Voted! Such a relief to get it sent in. I spent way too long trying to get my tracks list done.

I'm a total sucker for fake new order

Buzzed through the tracks playlist, It seems like 50% afropop, which totally rules?

checks out

this was me too, super strong year with no clear frontrunner.

the Kasper Marrot track is great!

ahhh just putting my ballot together now and somehow we collectively neglected to nominate the Internet's album

deeply regret forgetting Britten's theme for Succession as a track nom; hoping he wins an Oscar for Beale Street

Find room!

i agree with above

anyways, voted!

go dots!
