NOUGHT BUT THE TRUTH: 2000-2009 albums & tracks VOTING (and campaigning) thread DEADLINE OCTOBER 11

Voted! Had to do unweighted for LPs as it was impossible to do otherwise.

"One track by each artist" principle was also not workable, Broadcast ended up with 2 or 3 (1 with The Focus Group)

Now to get on with the rest of my life.

I couldn't have come up with a list of tracks even if I wanted to. There are limits.

Can I, uh, resubmit my ballot? I made a catastrophic mistake, ranking-wise.

tracks was easy enough but albums was impossible. had to set myself a one album per artist rule to get it down from 70ish to 50.

Voted. Albums only, that was agony enough. Didn't get around to ranking them either, which is also extremely lame. Great poll imago!1! :)

When is the rollout likely to start - next week or the week after?

I voted. Decided to just go with whatever I was into the most these days, made a top 15 or so and then just randomly took enough other tracks or albums from my initial whittling to fill the unranked part of my ballot. It's not exactly fair, but at least it's arbitrary.

It's still open, right? I can vote through midnight tonight?

I kind of did what Silverfish did. I found myself throwing out several songs I'd previously rated highly. (BoC's Dawn Chorus is fine, but pretty repetitious and the voice samples completely ruin it for me.) I don't know why I used to consider this song a standout of that album, let alone the decade. One thing that made this poll so much fun is that this is probably my least favorite decade of music since the sixties, and it has caused me to take a closer listen to a lot stuff I missed.

Argh, I have 40 albums I definitely want to vote for and like another 40 I probably want to vote for and no time to listen to them all before arbitrarily squeezing them down. And the tracks "shortlist" is still in the hundreds...

Can I submit album and tracks polls separately or will that confuse the system?

(This is fun! Too bad I missed the nominations stage as I won't be able to vote for Cave - "Psychic Psummer" and probably a lot of other stuff I haven't thought of because thinking of it would be a waste of brainpower!)

Would it be bad to clutter this thread with things we would have nominated, or should we save those for after the results?

oh boy the songs list is overwhelming to put together but i'm gonna do my best

i should've nominated mark e's "you" but it's not like i mind voting for "rnb drunkie" instead bc it's also perfect

i feel like creepin' to some old school (funk!)
i feel like dancing the night with you! (funk!)

heh otm i nommed rnb drunkie

i need to vote still, and i will

voted

It surprised me a little how song-oriented my tracks ballot turned out, in sharp contrast to my albums ballot. I guess when I think in terms of tracks that stand out in my mind, it's songs that really register, at least as far as 00-09 goes.

it's quite funny how all the questions you're asking can be answered the same way: "yes, it's fine, but seandalai will say if otherwise"

one complaint i have is that my favorite ashanti song wasn't nominated ("rock wit you (awww baby)")

gonna vote for "only you" instead

Queued up what I feel most likely to vote for. Know my number one but the rest...ballot is going to be a total shitshow lol

gimme the weekend lj

how close are you to having the ballots done?

later this evening, NYC time

it's quite funny how all the questions you're asking can be answered the same way: "yes, it's fine, but seandalai will say if otherwise"

I assume this was also a response to my question. I'll resubmit my ballot shortly, then.

i know chris brown sucks but it still bummed me out that "no air" wasn't nominated

how close are you to having the ballots done?

idk songs is still a mess. i could prob have something done but it would be incredibly late tonight

it won't be closed until late morning anyway!

I've barely dipped into this thread, but the Lord has heard your cries, and he will respond.

i could make a list of just r&b, both tracks and albums

The Fish Brothers And Eastend ‎– We All Shout The Millwall Song is missing

Re-voted. Apologies for the hassle, LJ & seandalai.

thanks for this poll already bc it reminded me of what an incredible song lloyd's "get it shawty" is

and Jazmine Sullivan's "Bust Your Windows." God.

and please vote for Ne-Yo's "So Sick" or "Because of You" kthx

so many of these songs are my favorite song of all time. def voting for "because of you"

Submitted a tracks ballot.

"Gimme The Weekend, LJ" is an underrated slow-burn R&B classic

lol

“Knuck If You Buck” is so beautiful it makes me cry

Voted -- 30 albums, 50 tracks

Lj I have 95% sorted out my ballot but left it on my laptop at work, can I still send it to you tomorrow morning?

You can submit it to the ballot page linked at the top of this threaf! I'll ask seandalai to wait until late morning...

*thread

Submitted! This was way easier than originally anticipated, and highly nostalgic. Not nearly enough quality tracks nominated, but there were so many already present it was easier to cobble together a list. My top 10 albums could all be #1. Would be cool if I could do a reverse mixed ballot where the top 10 were unweighted (tied for 1st) and the rest were weighted.

i have voted for the meadowlands

sorry if i missed this but how many albums and tracks will be in the rollout, top 100, 77, etc?

the thought is 100

can't we have an extension to sunday morning? i have got the albums ready but the tracks i haven't started yet. in one of your previous posts you said sunday, imago. otherwise i can't do tracks.
