Wow! Amazing. Thank you for doing this!

Yeah, echoing the thanks for doing this.
I'll definitely try and get a ballot in, although seems quite daunting (especially for tracks) but very much looking forward to the rollout.

I did a quick scan of songs I wanted to shortlist from the noms and it came up to over 200 tracks... this is gonna be tough!

Yeah, I've given up for now on tracks. I was already up to a hundred plus and I wasn't even half way through the alphabet.

thanks so much for the playlists, ufo <3

^ I don't think those have been overlooked as such. Just that the final few days of nominations are yet to be added to playlists. I suspect ufo just needs a spare moment.

thank you! one more request: could you please add the video for Olu Maintain’s “Nawti” to the YouTube playlist? the “Nawti” that’s on Spotify is an instrumental remix, the actual song is not on there (although there is a “Nawti - Instrumental” that is the actual instrumental track without any unnecessary sax embellishments)

I thought albums would be my easy ballot, but I scrolled through the big list last night and just gave up. I'm glad the voting period is so lengthy, because I'm going to need it. I haven't even looked at tracks yet.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 17 July 2022 17:05 (one year ago) link
Interesting that there's some tracks missing from the noms which made it into our top 10s in the past.
Will be interesting to see in the final results if we end up with tracks which didn't appear at all in the top 77 of their respective years.

― gman59, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 15:12 (one year ago) link
hello ufo, many thanks for the time and energy you have put into this. i voted just now but had to add in my #2 album which although nominated does not appear on the spreadsheet. i hope this does not cause you any problems and the album in question is unlikely to trouble the top 200 so it's not a big deal.
― oscar bravo, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 15:31 (one year ago) link
it looks like this nominated album is missing from the nominations list:
Yamantaka // Sonic Titan - UZU
― silverfish, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 16:09 (one year ago) link
I voted. What a ridiculous endeavor this was. It was a fun exercise to spend time listening to a bunch of stuff I put on my year end lists throughout the decade.

I've narrowed both down to 50-odd each, somehow. Now I have to put them in order.
Dull realisation: I've been an album kinda person for the last 25 years, to the point where I often struggle to put a tracks ballot together; this poll has made me realise I've gone back to my teen self, ie much more tracks focused. Fascinating, I know.

Hi
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 23 July 2022 02:24 (one year ago) link
I just voted! Like Chinaski, I am mostly an album listener but albums WAS hard to get to 50, because there's only about 40 I love and know well and maybe another 100 I liked but don't remember too well. Thought about doing some major relistening or even just capping it at those 40, but in the end, I went with my vague memories to pick the final 10. Tracks was easier because they're all songs I know well. Overall, I'm satisfied with my ballot
― Vinnie, Saturday, 23 July 2022 03:58 (one year ago) link
It's Sunday.
A good day to vote.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 25 July 2022 00:52 (one year ago) link
I'm down to 63 albums and 73 tracks. I was determined to vote by the end of today but it doesn't seem likely.
I'm tempted to be more strict when it comes to overlaps in my two lists, but I just can't bring myself to cut some of my favourite artists. I don't know how people manage to do that.
― kitchen person, Monday, 25 July 2022 02:34 (one year ago) link
I usually hate sending in unweighted ballots but after trying to rank my tracks ballot, I had to come to terms with the fact that there was no single song that was clearly my favorite of the entire decade. Any given decade I could probably make a case for at least half the songs on my list.
I did weight my albums ballot. I think there are 2 albums in my top ten that will appear on a lot of other folks' ballots, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was alone, or nearly alone, in the other 8.

It’s actually going to be 100+1, since #101 has the same points as #100 but I’m using number of votes as tie-breakers. I feel bad leaving #101 out on a technicality.

Hi everyone!
So I’m at 65% of the tracks images, I’ll have them complete by Monday no problem…However, I still need to do the text / bbcode and search for blurbs for each one and that takes more time than I’ll have from Mo-We because it’s a bit of a hectic week for me and I don’t want to have long spans of not posting, I usually like posting every 8/10 mins so I can post results in a spam of 3 hours every day.
There’s 3 options:
1. I start posting on Tuesday. Finish the top 20 on Saturday instead of Friday.
2. I start posting on Monday without blurbs, maybe I can start adding them for 80-01.
3. I start posting Monday 22nd.

If I were to take on a big task like this I wouldn’t want to start until I’m good and ready, so take your time I say. 1: only if you can make it, 2: no, 3: why not? this is about a whole decade - what’s another week?
― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Saturday, 13 August 2022 22:44 (one year ago) link
Thank you!
Alright, saturday is off!
I’ll do my best to post at least 15 on Monday or go blurb-less for the first batch and then I’ll catch up.
In case of fire we’ll jump to the 22nd.
