Voted! There were a shitload of good songs in the 2000s. Holy mackerel

kornrulez6969, Saturday, 12 October 2019 01:27 (four years ago) link

yep i did albums easy-ish also, tracks is tuff~

johnny crunch, Saturday, 12 October 2019 01:28 (four years ago) link

Done! I only repeated one artist (Missy) in tracks, no repeats in albums. Viva variety!

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 12 October 2019 01:59 (four years ago) link

Resubmitted my albums (no changes, but I had to fix a typo on the last entry)

jmm, Saturday, 12 October 2019 02:22 (four years ago) link

typo?

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 12 October 2019 02:22 (four years ago) link

I copied my picks from the nominations list into a Word file, and from there into the voting form, but Word autocorrected one of the hyphens into a dash. So I just fixed that.

jmm, Saturday, 12 October 2019 02:32 (four years ago) link

Ah, just wanted to make sure.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 12 October 2019 02:44 (four years ago) link

love the video for Lust for Life, it's the most SF thing ever

also the one for Hellhole Ratrace which should have been nominated

Dan S, Saturday, 12 October 2019 02:46 (four years ago) link

american bradass (BradNelson), Saturday, 12 October 2019 02:48 (four years ago) link

Nobody nominated Monster Hospital, so I had to vote for Help I'm Alive. That's ok.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 12 October 2019 02:52 (four years ago) link

Voted!

I wish I had a boyfriend
I wish I had a loving man in my life
I wish I had a father
Maybe then I would've turned out right

Now I'm just crazy, and totally mad
Yeah I'm just crazy, and fucked in the head

And maybe if I really try with all of my heart
Then I could make a brand new start
in love with you

Dan S, Saturday, 12 October 2019 05:09 (four years ago) link

love those lyrics and the ones that follow

Dan S, Saturday, 12 October 2019 05:11 (four years ago) link

imago, Saturday, 12 October 2019 08:42 (four years ago) link

thank you seandalai!

brb cancelling all appointments for the day for some important Spotify mining

How did ILM managing to get through the nominations process without including either of the first two Fiery Furnaces records or Ciara's The Evolution? Both would have been unthinkable omissions at the time they came out.

Matt DC, Saturday, 12 October 2019 10:03 (four years ago) link

I just realised there's only one Jay-Z album nominated as well.

Matt DC, Saturday, 12 October 2019 10:05 (four years ago) link

Also can I be churlish and point out that 'The Magical World of the Strands' was relaased in 1998 and definitely doesn't count here?

now let's play big lunch take little lunch (sic), Saturday, 12 October 2019 10:09 (four years ago) link

xp. thanks so much for the extension, seandalai. i have about 40 tracks now and still to listen to my extract of other people's nominations from f to z. i will be ready tonight, european time.

je est un autre, l'enfer c'est les autres (alex in mainhattan), Saturday, 12 October 2019 10:10 (four years ago) link

Foiled by definite article once again.

Matt DC, Saturday, 12 October 2019 10:16 (four years ago) link

Voted. Thanks!

eatandoph (Neue Jesse Schule), Saturday, 12 October 2019 10:54 (four years ago) link

Hahaha no one nominated 'Survivor' either.

Matt DC, Saturday, 12 October 2019 11:10 (four years ago) link

This'll be a suitably spiritual successor to the original 2000-2004 poll as a result of all the omissions (although there were rather more brutal nomination restrictions with that first poll). Hope there's at least over 60 ballots.

nashwan, Saturday, 12 October 2019 11:17 (four years ago) link

Compelled to send an edited tracks ballot sorry

or something, Saturday, 12 October 2019 12:45 (four years ago) link

I ended up voting with my heart on the albums list and heavily tactically on the tracks ballot. Impossible to pick my genuine ten favourite songs from an entire decade so I ended up piling the top 10 with records I both loved and passionately felt should be represented.

Matt DC, Saturday, 12 October 2019 13:14 (four years ago) link

lol, Blueberry Boat was the first thing nominated in the entire poll

imago, Saturday, 12 October 2019 14:27 (four years ago) link

I haven't listened to The Meadowlands in forever, but man, it aged tremendously well.

jmm, Saturday, 12 October 2019 14:51 (four years ago) link

Oni Ayhun - OAR004-A
Robyn - Dancing On My Own

all zapped

― imago, Tuesday, September 24, 2019 7:08 PM (two weeks ago) bookmarkflaglink

these did get a few votes (three so far) - those votes will be zapped (not the whole ballot, just those tracks); in a ranked ballot the tracks below will be moved up one position

britain's secret sauce (seandalai), Saturday, 12 October 2019 14:52 (four years ago) link

When meadowlands places someone will have to explain to me why it’s so beloved

Mordy, Saturday, 12 October 2019 16:06 (four years ago) link

I might even have to listen to it

Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Saturday, 12 October 2019 16:11 (four years ago) link

Didn't quite manage to fill the ballot as I've been attempting to finagle my way into the Après Ski scene and I didn't want to take my chances with a fat ballot I might have to explain on the fly. Nevertheless, I voted.

saer, Saturday, 12 October 2019 16:37 (four years ago) link

Voted twice today. One for parliamentary elections, one for ILX.
My nominations were late and I had to let go of some top favorites, so I really can't complain about the selection. But it's rather poor to be honest :P
Big thanks to the organizers for the idea.

Nabozo, Saturday, 12 October 2019 18:06 (four years ago) link

Man, making a ballot is hard! I thought everything I liked would be nominated by someone else, but I forgot I'm the only Dane on here, one of few Scandinavs. I think I'm missing, like, ten albums I'd want to put on there, and that makes it all really hard.

Frederik B, Saturday, 12 October 2019 18:51 (four years ago) link

How am I supposed to make a ballot without Håkan Hellström or Kaizers Orchestra or Bjørn Svin or Under Byen or Tiger Tunes or...

Frederik B, Saturday, 12 October 2019 18:52 (four years ago) link

Voted

Frederik B, Saturday, 12 October 2019 19:11 (four years ago) link

done, at least i got my act together to make top 5 mixed ballots. very curious about the overall results. thanks a lot for making this possible imago and seandalai.

je est un autre, l'enfer c'est les autres (alex in mainhattan), Saturday, 12 October 2019 21:23 (four years ago) link

Going to shut this down in about half an hour - unless there's someone out there furiously working through the nominations after three weeks of procrastination?

britain's secret sauce (seandalai), Saturday, 12 October 2019 22:41 (four years ago) link

me!!!! i’m not done yet!

american bradass (BradNelson), Saturday, 12 October 2019 22:43 (four years ago) link

i am almost done but i’m about to head into a movie :|

american bradass (BradNelson), Saturday, 12 October 2019 22:43 (four years ago) link

I am theoretically just about to submit, I hope

a passing spacecadet, Saturday, 12 October 2019 22:51 (four years ago) link

ok I can leave it go until the morning if imago's ok with that
