Have been having some fun speculating on the age of each ballot submitter as they come in. Generational differences are making these results a bit more surprising than I anticipated.

forks, it’s not a pain to me, and it’s not really that I feel a pressure to keep up either. it’s just that there’s so much good music coming out all the time, and I enjoy wallowing in it, which includes ending up in the occasional rabbit hole. I have bouts of revisiting or (re)discovering older stuff, but these are never planned and never last very long. it wasn’t always this way, but it is now, and like I said, I like it that way.

breastcrawl: Far be it from me to tell anyone how they should listen! I get into long listening jags myself where I disappear into niches, genres, eras or artists, so i dig it.

If I were to do my ballot for the 00s album reboot today I wd absolutely include All for You. 'Masterpiece' is def a word that came to mind a few times while I've been listening to it over the past week

it's definitely better than its reputation.

I'm going to say the ultimate official cut off is tonight at midnight so that I can hopefully roll out the poll next week.

I should mention that 135 songs have gotten at least one vote, which means about half of them will end up on the 77.

Based on some of what you've been stunting for upthread, I think you'll be more or less cool with the results as they are.

Control: The Remixes always reminds me of this snippet in the Faith-era Rolling Stone interview with George Micheal;
"How do they get that sound?” He is driving down London’s Piccadilly, turning heads in nearby cars as he marvels at the thunderous bass on the Janet Jackson remix album that’s playing on the CD player in his black Mercedes sedan.

iirc it's on American spotify now tho, along with a ton of other Janet remixes
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 30 July 2020 11:50 (three years ago) link
lmao it's almost twice the length of the album itself
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 30 July 2020 11:52 (three years ago) link
Holy shit, y'all, Spotify has remix "singles" for Rhythm Nation, Miss You Much, Escapade, Alright, Come BAck To Me, Black Cat, Love Will Never Do, and State Of The World that are ALL album-length as well (like 45-75 min)
