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.

I’d be cool if ilxor allowed sticky posts at the top for the current “big” polls

I def plan on getting to it before the deadline, but appreciate the reminders (as it’s not top of mind when I sit down to work)

i voted a few days ago but didn't announce it in here. excited for this. I feel like I was on the front lines for this decade
― 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'm trying to get through the Spotify playlist, even with skips it's going to be a close thing.

Culled my singles ballot (which is to say, my sole ballot) down to 70 titles.

write-ins are fine and i will add anything nominated missing to the nominations list if you let me know that i missed it

Got my tracks ballot worked out but still have albums yet to go. I think that one is gonna be a bit harder

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.

(also, ugh, I made a mistake: it’s DJ *Sumbody* ft. Tira, Thebe & Emza – Ayepyep)

thanks!didn't vote for anything I didn't already know but after the results will probably post an alternative ballot ft only tracks I didn't know until getting through the playlist
― nashwan, Sunday, 31 July 2022 17:03 (one year ago) link
thanx ufo!
btw, just noticed that DJ Lycox - Parabéns Moh Baba, which only has a Bandcamp link on the spreadsheet, is on Spotify as "Parabens Mo Baba"
― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Sunday, 31 July 2022 18:28 (one year ago) link
looks like it was just not available in my region
― ufo, Sunday, 31 July 2022 22:24 (one year ago) link
Voted! I know I'm going to have some regrets later on, but for now it feels good to have it done.
― kitchen person, Monday, 1 August 2022 04:26 (one year ago) link
XP: arggh, the disappearance from Spotify of seemingly *everything* Príncipe was likely a regional thing too then. Worst region ever, etc, etc.

just checking that you meant to only vote for a single track?

yes, thank you

all good
formatting wasn't an issue at all

thanks - if i do get a chance to complete a 50 tracks ballot (quite unlikely this week) - i'll post an update assuming that's ok

yeah, that's fine

when tt and i ran the 00's, tt did the images but i did all the bbcode, text, blurb etc stuff, ufo is shirking imo lol
― ban, buddy (imago), Sunday, 14 August 2022 09:41 (one year ago) link
tbf i got around this by not doing blurbs, and demanding the thread's live reactions to suffice
― ban, buddy (imago), Sunday, 14 August 2022 09:44 (one year ago) link
to be clear i originally offered to do that part too (& am still happy to do whatever's necessary there)

poor moka grafting away while you sip daiquiris
― ban, buddy (imago), Sunday, 14 August 2022 09:56 (one year ago) link
Lol
Not at all! Ufo did the spreadsheets, the voting form and the spotify playlists which are a pain to make.

oh damn, did ufo do all the seandalai stuff, accusation firmly retracted haha
― ban, buddy (imago), Sunday, 14 August 2022 14:44 (one year ago) link
that said i did do the spotify stuff for the 00's and that was definitely the most gruelling part yeah
― ban, buddy (imago), Sunday, 14 August 2022 14:45 (one year ago) link
Moka, you're not doing the bbcode by hand I hope? If you have everything in a spreadsheet, any decent text editor can generate the right tags for you.
― ArchCarrier, Sunday, 14 August 2022 16:06 (one year ago) link
xxp1 vote for no blurbs at all.
