Best albums (and tracks) of YOUR favourite albums (and tracks) of the ENTIRE NOUGHTIES: 2000-2009 Ballot Poll Nominations + Campaigning Thread

Umm its kind of weird. It was Jerusalem in 99 and was not one long track. Its separated into 6 parts but is the same composition as Dopesmoker.

Happy to replace it with another album if that causes it to not count.

imago, how big will these ballots be? this is a poll where 50 vs. 100 will be a big deal lol
100 would favour the votes of the mentalists. who would have the time to rank a 100 albums?

ALBUMS

Amerie - Because I Love It
Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSounds
Tweet - Southern Hummingbird

(4/30)

Lets please replace Sleep- Dopesmoker with this:

...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - Source Tags & Codes

30/30

Dopesmoker technically was released in 03 but had already been out in some form (not one long track) before that. Sorry for the confusion.

A solid replacement! Though I still can't decide whether to stan for this or Worlds Apart.

Oh god it won't be more than 50 entries per ballot!

100 would favour the votes of the mentalists. who would have the time to rank a 100 albums?

I'd like to contribute a list but fucked if I can get any handle what got released when since 2000

Basement was already nommed Flappy iirc

Sigur Ros - Ágætis byrjun

This is a dicey one as well. Released in the summer of '99 in Europe.

I too did not know it was 30 total, but I don't have headroom for doing tracks anyway.

Imago, please to end the suffering of the many here and bump up the noms to 50 per person already?

ALBUMS

J Dilla - Donuts
Broadcast and The Focus Group - ...Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age
The Advisory Circle - Other Channels

TRACKS

Ekkehard Ehlers - Plays John Cassavetes 2
Tweet - Oops (Oh My)
Perfume - Dream Fighter
Ariel Pink - For Kate I Wait

[7/30]

Why the bad timing, flopson?

I'll bump it up in a few days. I don't want to do it yet as it'll give me too much playlisting! I think what I'll do with ArchCarrier is accept all his nominations so far but only give him an extra five. Sound reasonable?

You are too kind :)

Customer service on this poll is intense, truth be told :)

So let's get it over and done with. See you in the voting thread!

ALBUMS:

Copeland - Beneath Medicine Tree
Oliver Huntemann - H-3
m² - War of Sound
Speedy J - Loudboxer
Wolfmother - Wolfmother
