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

oh i see it's been resolved sorry

The links to both playlists are in the OP though if you want to get going

Death From Above - Romantic Right
should be Romantic Rights

Gorillaz - Client Eastwood
is a dupe and has a typo too

LCD Soundsystem - 45:33
i would call this an album -- it includes "someone great" and a few other songs -- but it's your choice

The Studio - No Comply
The Studio - Out There
The Studio - West Side
the band's name is Studio

Client Eastwood :'D

I might keep it like that

lol i shouldn't go by memory of ILM thread titles

The Studio - West Coast

ok I moved 45:33 to albums, agree it should be there instead

if ledge wishes to protest he may

I noticed that my fraudulent nomination of Robyn - Dancing on My Own is still on the tracks masterlist. Can that please be replaced by ... Rhythm & Sound - Free For All (Soundstream Remix)?

Albums:

The Good The Bad and The Queen - s/t

(18/30)

hahahahahah oh my god there are so many albums and songs hahahahahah

anyway if you hadn't heard weekend by the zazen boys this it is not your fault dear readers but if you don't vote for it now that you HAVE heard of it......... that is your fault

wait what

a snooze 4 love remix is nom'd? and not the original? was a remix released in 2009 and the original in 2011?

oh shit ok i see what happened, macallan's picks were all the wrong decade and they made the list. i got REAL confused when i saw the xx on hold (yes i am reading it from the bottom like an extremely normal person, what of it)

does anyone still have bluesk's ultramixes by year? i used to listen to the 06 one on repeat to the point where i can't hear some of these songs without hearing the next one from that mp3 following it

have zapped thee macallan 18 year's erroneous nominations

allow me to reiterate that NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSED

unless

As I'm such a pushover, I will allow anyone who has not posted to this thread before today a small handful of 'panic nominations'. fgti bring the first of such. But that only applies if you really didn't see this until now.

And on I playlist.

Sund4r, Evan Parker and Sainkho Namtchylak - Mars Song is from 1996. Zapped. Sorry

Glad all the '00s Silver Jews LPs were nominated. I'd been casually listening to them far more than any other noughties music since certain events in August. At least of two of them are more excellent, as albums, than I have tended to remember. Any support will probably be vote-spliited to death here though, no?

The Toeachizown double up is my fault, sorry all! (Don't know if that means I get another nomination back, but I don't want to create any extra work for imago).

lol i shouldn't go by memory of ILM thread titles

Their first few releases were under The Studio moniker

LCD Soundsystem - 45:33
i would call this an album -- it includes "someone great" and a few other songs -- but it's your choice

well it's a track that was later released on an album with the same name along with other bonus tracks - but otoh it's a 45:33 long track with three distinct sections and also i really don't give a shit.

Sund4r, Evan Parker and Sainkho Namtchylak - Mars Song is from 1996. Zapped. Sorry

Oh wow, oops.

xp can it be on both lists? I'm probably voting for it either way.

can we standardize NSYNC? I'm seeing *NSYNC somewhere near the top of the tracks list and then NSync and NSYNC in the N's.

45:33 is a track and has appeared in at least one tracks poll before iirc (maybe an album one too tho)

does anyone still have bluesk's ultramixes by year? i used to listen to the 06 one on repeat to the point where i can't hear some of these songs without hearing the next one from that mp3 following it

mixcloud has them all! https://www.mixcloud.com/ghostfood/

Has the number of entries per ballot been decided yet? I already started getting my Albums ballot ready.

Imago, the Abe Vigoda album is still twice on the list.

Not a typo, but t.A.T.u is in the tracks list with and without full stops - not hugely significant except that it means one of their tracks is separated from the other two by about six other songs.

…and in the albums list, you've got Streets and The Streets, leading to a large separation between the two.

50 for each I think! Will see to the remaining problems in a bit...

getting together some panic nominations now that i'm in front of my computer and not incredibly sick

Just listened to 45:33 for the first time since that time and damn. Best thing he did.

here's 30 album nominations just to do it

Cursive - Domestica
Lou Reed - Ecstasy
Lifter Puller - Fiestas & Fiascos
Morbid Angel - Gateways to Annihilation
Enslaved - Mardraum - Beyond The Within
Sunday's Best - Poised to Break
Janet Jackson - All for You
Jimmy Eat World - Futures
blink-182 - Untitled
Gorguts - From Wisdom to Hate
Slipknot - Iowa
Sparklehorse - It's a Wonderful Life

Saves the Day - Stay What You Are
Saves the Day - In Reverie

Bloc Party - A Weekend in the City
My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
Perfume - Game
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones
Tegan and Sara - The Con

i know a weekend in the city isn't a good album but i'm voting for it

added! any tracks feel free to add too

also, all suggested changes have been made and 45:33 restored to tracks list

tracks is a way too overwhelming a concept for me atm, just gonna go with what everyone else nominated

ok! :)

if anyone else who hasn't posted yet by some miracle turns up tonight they might have their stuff added, otherwise i think the lists are as they shall be, misspellings and all. you've probably all got a few more hours of nabbing mistakes before we finalise everything idk

i am going to try and finish these playlists this year weekend, if it kills me

Oh, and we're working on a weighted ballot breakdown that skews things towards your top five (and even more so your top 4, 3, 2, 1), just FYI. Hope that's okay with everyone!

To be clear, numbers 50-6 will get points ascending in twos and then 5-1 will get increasingly boosted

seems reasonable! only unreasonable part is holy shit how am i gonna get down to 50 :|

we're giving you 3 weeks

it's less the time and more the sobbing and begging if i can bring all of my toys on vacation with me

(i'm not complaining btw you are a hero for doing this and if i got to rank all 250 of the songs i've shortlisted already you uhhh would probably not have a fun time)

fortunately, seandalai's algorithms will be doing much of the heavy lifting!

nominations are totally and utterly closed now btw, errors and all

Just a reminder to double check through the track playlist to get rid of instances where entire albums were put in there, such as Empire of the Sun's Walking on a Dream. Usually from when a title track was nominated.

TRACKS

Kylie Minogue - Slow
Mis-Teeq - Scandalous
Richgirl - He Ain't With Me Now Tho

(30/30)

Going through the tracks list today and I think all three of these have been missed? Noticed only because I intended to vote for 2 of them myself!

Just noticed that Jazmine Sullivan is in there twice, once as "Jasmine Sullivan" for the track "Lions, Tigers and Bears."

I'll try and amend that now

ok done. there's already a voting form so i hope this doesn't affect things too much
