seandalai btw, will u b open to assist me in running the 2000-09 poll say this summer

i will b

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.

that is excellent news sean, ty

commiserations emil.y i hope i voted for it instead or something

get lucky was a weird hit but i'll absolutely still rep for it

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

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

just joshing with you johnny fever; i'm happy to maintain the naming for searchability and legacy use.

any thoughts about including the embedded official youtube with each song? Is that gonna slow down thread loading too much? What do people think?

forgot to vote for albums. top 6 woulda been parquet courts, arctic monkeys, amen dunes, kacey musgraves, blood orange in some order

any thoughts about including the embedded official youtube with each song? Is that gonna slow down thread loading too much? What do people think?

no embeds pls

beautiful images and commentary only

could we get a ruling about no shit music?

Non-embedded YT links would be fine I think?

Yeah, YouTube mini links still don't embed on ilx, so that's what I've used for years.

I submitted my ballot hours ago and already I have massive regrets!!

No-one will give a shit what I think, but I wish we'd do this year-end poll in March/April.

man 2013 was regrettable

and with that I declare the great EOY beef open

I still like listening to Days Are Gone!

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.

Voting for metal poll is now live:

The 2018 ILX Metal n' Heavy Rock Poll VOTING + CAMPAIGNING thread! Ballots due Saturday, Feb. 2nd!

the closest thing to a good new order single last year was krystal klear - neutron dance

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:

surprised that album didn't get nommed

Sorry bout this, but Moka only got the weekend to get all the images in shape for Monday so we had to close up when we did.

you forgot to send me the template for the comedy placements

they're en route pigeon post

the Lauer album is indeed very good and i probably would have voted for it if i'd heard it in time

So, when does the result rollout start?

After they agree on presentation and YT links. Clearly they're just enjoying the fact they know the results and we don't :P

the rollout usually starts a few hours from now, when the americans have woken up

How about the albums rollout?

Next Monday I presume

I'll start a thread around 9 for singles.

so uh is it too late to vote

kinda
ILM’s Top 77 Tracks of 2018

I forgot to vote too so yet again I will have a little pity party as I read the results

arrrgh I can't believe I completely missed this thrrreeeeaaad

your votes are with us in spirit, unless they're bad

Especially if they're bad, surely?

arrrgh I can't believe I completely missed this thrrreeeeaaad
