ILM's 2010s Tracks & Albums Decade Poll / VOTING THREAD

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

updated the spreadsheet with the missing nominations pointed out

Vote!

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

Hi

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

It's Sunday.

A good day to vote.

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.

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.

Vote plz thx

voted!

will vote this weekend but not for the weeknd

approx one week left

voted. painful amount of decision making.

The deed is done. Torture never felt so good.

btw I don't see these nominations of mine in the tracks playlist

Blood Orange - E.V.P.
Childish Gambino - Redbone
Glasser - Mirrorage
Hatchie - Sugar And Spice
Hudson Mohawke - All Your Love
Khruangbin - Evan Finds The Third Room

Is it still work in progress?

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

both of those are fixed now

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

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"

looks like it was just not available in my region

Voted! I know I'm going to have some regrets later on, but for now it feels good to have it done.

XP: arggh, the disappearance from Spotify of seemingly *everything* Príncipe was likely a regional thing too then. Worst region ever, etc, etc.

voted. basically just inserted the lists i made in december 2019 lol.

this is hard.

nashwan please check your email btw

Voted

apologies if my formatting made it harder to total
had to do it on my phone

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

posting to let you all know i am quite close to finalising my ballots

extremely important announcement over

got you covered!

folx, imago would also like to present a single track ballot:

Bad Bunny - Otra noche en Miami

I could only manage an unweighted albums-only ballot but I voted.

i finally got the track list done. making up my mind about the top-5 was tough. deciding on #s 49 & 50 was impossible.
hopefully can submit ballot tomorrow.

shit. just realized i forgot to nominate on of my fav's (Revival by Deerhunter). it's high enough for me that I guess I'm doing a write-in for it. (sorry!)

I noticed that nobody had nominated Desire Lines, which I thought odd, as I'd have probably thrown it some points. Ah well!

i was certain someone else had nominated it (Revival) but looks like it was a difference track.

Just wanted to point out that Ke$ha - TiK ToK is a 2009 song. Is that a "year of impact" thing?

yeah it first hit #1 in the US in 2010 & stayed there for a while, there's a pretty clear argument there

it was also the first #1 of the decade

ok, those are good arguments. I moved right at the turn of the decade, and distinctly remember first hearing tiktok at "the old house". but it definitely grew and grew in popularity.

yeah it had a slow build to #1 in november/december 2009, finally hitting it at the start of 2010 and staying there for 9 weeks

folx, imago would also like to present a single track ballot:

Bad Bunny - Otra noche en Miami

― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl)

Lol

Great choice imago

Tiktok being a 2010s song makes me feel ancient

Fuck I nommed that Bad Bunny track and just realized I didn’t vote for it because I thought noone else would have it in their ballots. I failed you imago.

Another 3 here.

Don't stress to rush them out Moka, post when you're good and ready
