ILM's 2020 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

Can't believe you guys have made me start to get into this indefensible Jon Anderson song

Not sure I'm going to vote for many of these albums. There were way more than 25 LPs already nominated I could happily vote for. But the noms list ought to be correct. ;-)

forks: the final track above is behind a subscription-only wall on Bandcamp, I'm afraid, so not much point linking to it. The track is too good not to nominate though.

^ good one!

Should 'Club Future Nostalgia' be its own thing or subsumed under 'Future Nostalgia'? The former would be v high on my list, the latter would be a bit lower

I'll go with whatever the consensus is; someone was asking about the Adrianne Lenker albums upthread too. But it kind of has to be decided today.

I'll nom I

ugh I hate ilxor on my phone.

*I'll nom it then to be safe. Feel like it's enough of its own thing.

ALBUMS

Dua Lips & The Blessed Madonna - Club Future Nostalgia'

28/40

remix albums are generally considered distinct entities from the original albums for the EOY poll aren't they (unlike tracks)? it surely makes sense to here

the adrianne lenker albums could go either way, they were released separately digitally but always bundled together physically. it doesn't really bother me either way and isn't going to really effect my voting (though i am likely to vote for one/both of them)
