there's no way daft punk are going to do anywhere near as well when the 10's poll comes around right? all the RAM hype feels bizarre looking back
― ufo, Saturday, 26 January 2019 14:37 (five years ago) link
voted for the first time ever after reading the poll results religously for fifteen (!) years
just dipped my toe in the water with an unranked albums list, which I had to recreate after forgetting to copy my first attempt off my work computer
good luck ilm

After all my write-ins I still forgot about one of the best songs I heard last year, because I forgot to write it down.
― emil.y, Saturday, 26 January 2019 16:45 (five years ago) link

― imago, Saturday, 26 January 2019 17:16 (five years ago) link
get lucky was a weird hit but i'll absolutely still rep for it
― ⅋ (crüt), Saturday, 26 January 2019 17:21 (five years ago) link
It wasn't nominated! I was reminded of it last night during a youtube binge, kicking myself b/c this is top 5 material for me, for sure.
The track in question is 'Thou' by White Boy Scream
― emil.y, Saturday, 26 January 2019 17:25 (five years ago) link
xp to imago, obv
Any chance I could still submit my ballot?? I’ve had it basically ready for over a week but got caught up working really late last night and forgot to send it in
― ƒ©˙∆˚¬ (Whitey on the Moon), Saturday, 26 January 2019 19:07 (five years ago) link
just joshing with you johnny fever; i'm happy to maintain the naming for searchability and legacy use.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Saturday, 26 January 2019 19:33 (five years ago) link
any thoughts about including the embedded official youtube with each song? Is that gonna slow down thread loading too much? What do people think?
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Saturday, 26 January 2019 19:47 (five years ago) link
forgot to vote for albums. top 6 woulda been parquet courts, arctic monkeys, amen dunes, kacey musgraves, blood orange in some order

Non-embedded YT links would be fine I think?
― resident hack (Simon H.), Saturday, 26 January 2019 20:42 (five years ago) link
Yeah, YouTube mini links still don't embed on ilx, so that's what I've used for years.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 26 January 2019 20:51 (five years ago) link
I submitted my ballot hours ago and already I have massive regrets!!
― Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Sunday, 27 January 2019 00:33 (five years ago) link
No-one will give a shit what I think, but I wish we'd do this year-end poll in March/April.
― Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Sunday, 27 January 2019 00:34 (five years ago) link
man 2013 was regrettable
and with that I declare the great EOY beef open
― imago, Saturday, January 26, 2019 6:18 AM (eleven hours ago)
I still like listening to Days Are Gone!
― Dan S, Sunday, 27 January 2019 01:43 (five years ago) link
I wish we'd do the end of year poll on January first. Also wish we voted for what we listened to in that year instead of what other people listened to and told us about after the year ended. But that ship has sailed many years ago.

the closest thing to a good new order single last year was krystal klear - neutron dance
― ufo, Friday, January 11, 2019 10:54 AM (two weeks ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
NOT TRUE. i know i am responding to a two-week-old post, the nominations are over and no one cares, but neutron dance is boring af and the lauer track "power" is an actually fun and engaging new order knock-off:

― ufo, Monday, 28 January 2019 02:03 (five years ago) link
So, when does the result rollout start?
― Tuomas, Monday, 28 January 2019 08:23 (five years ago) link
After they agree on presentation and YT links. Clearly they're just enjoying the fact they know the results and we don't :P
― Nabozo, Monday, 28 January 2019 09:28 (five years ago) link
the rollout usually starts a few hours from now, when the americans have woken up
― ufo, Monday, 28 January 2019 09:36 (five years ago) link
How about the albums rollout?
