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

& i'll extend the deadline to 11:59pm GMT on Monday 8th August

thank goodness. like a month feels like not long enough to weigh in on a decade... but perfect is the enemy of good

album I nominated that is missing from the nominations doc:

Matthew Shipp - I've Been To Many Places

fixed, sorry about that

it looks like i was pretty terrible at catching nominations that were only a few at a time

Voted - somehow I was able to power through this tonight.

there's also at least one album i'm completely baffled hasn't gotten a single vote yet

I'm guessing Daft Punk or Big Boi for this.

Lana del Rey or Joanna Newsom is my guess

Big Boi is a good guess tho. That album seemed adored when it came out several top 3 rankings everywhere that eoy and it lost loads of impact on end of decade.

Maybe one of the cancelled 2010s artists like Kanye or Grimes.

grimes has to be one of the favorites to win the tracks poll haha

I'm absolutely sick to fucking death of Grimes, but she's still on both of my ballots (not yet submitted though)

I can see it being Lana's NFR. Feel like other albums of hers might get more support, especially Ultraviolence.

My Bloody Valentine is another one I wouldn't be surprised it was ignored/forgotten.

Nah MBV is gonna eat

A source close to this poster can also confirm NFR will receive at least one vote.

I am two thirds of the way down the playlist now, can I wrap it up by end of Monday? hm.

i'll say that no one's named the one i'm thinking of so far

Grimes and Kanye sort of followed the same wavelength:

They both started the decade being loved by everyone. Dated and had kids with POS billionaires, and couldn’t stop saying the most vapid shit at every chance.0

Kanye doesn’t just say “vapid shit,” he’s a politically active Trumper. (Also, Kim was no billionaire when they got together – whatever you think of her, she’s not to blame for who he is.)

I mean, you can’t blame Musk either for Grimes.

I did notice "Horchata" and "Cousins" by Vampire Weekend on the list, and those are arguably 2009 songs, as they were released as singles in October and November respectively. Though I suppose they could get by on Year of Impact rules. Does feel a little odd to see them on there, and then on the other end of the decade see "Don't Start Now".

Thanks ufo - really looking fwd to this.

Typo in the tracks spreadsheet: Modern Kosmology - 'C'est Le Vent' should be by Modern Cosmology - my error when nominating, sorry.

I thought that Broken Flowers by Danny L Harle had been nommed as a track but apparently this was an album! Possibly will manage to find 50 other tracks to vote for despite this major setback

Hi there! I think that this may have affected the spelling of Jane Weaver - Modern Kosmology which is spelled in the spreadsheet as "Modern Cosmology". Could the Jane Weaver album be given its proper spelling in the albums list?

People on ILM were lining up to listen to Donda 3. You sure they're going to hold his state of political confusion against albums that were released years earlier and critically lauded for their mad egocentric genius ? Also the Big Boi still sounds fresh and fun, it takes Daddy Fat Sax three seconds to put a smile on my face.

Donda live from a piece of lawn*.

fixed, sorry

i think someone brought them both up before and i fixed the wrong one by accident

Thank you!

I mean, you can’t blame Musk either for Grimes.

I’ll let someone else tackle Grimes

My point was – dislike Kanye for whatever reasons you like, but “was in a relationship with a rich person” seems like it wouldn’t make the top 5

ILXors, assume your responsibilities of citizenship
Vote like you understand someone died for your right to do so
Good #1s are determined by people who SHOW UP
Silence is betrayal
Get mad and vote

ah man, just realised voting closes today - i thought it was going to be over the weekend. I'll try to whip up my ballots real quick!

no it's extended until end of monday, gmt

the deadline has been extended to to 11:59pm GMT on Monday 8th August (as of two days ago)

LOL Nabozo.

Voted just now. I hadn't really been much of a "yearly list" sort of person for much of the decade, so largely started from scratch. The noms made for a good 6-ish weeks of listening!

oh phew, thanks ufo! will def get something in by tomorrow-ish

Glad to see it was extended. i've spent this whole poll thinking "nah, i shouldn't vote, there's no way i could feel confident enough in any ballot i put together"... but I've had a total turnaround since then. I've absolutely gotta vote, even if i end up doing an unranked ballot.

Ballot submitted!

ufo, my power blipped out at the moment that I pressed send on my ballot. So I went back, filled everything out, and tried sending again. I hope I didn't accidentally send duplicate ballots.

a vote that was simply too powerful

i got your ballot just fine peace, man

Albums ballot in. Working on Tracks tomorrow.

VOTE MOTHERFUCKERS!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I will Axl, I will.

about 2 and a half days left so please get your ballots in everyone! there's still a ton of volatility in the results and pretty much anything has a chance of placing so every vote counts.

this playlist is really very long

so was the decade

Voted for 50 tracks and 1 album (I’ll understand if the album ballot is disqualified)

i'd really prefer a minimum ballot size of say, five or ten, but i forgot to specify that so i'm not going to disallow it

Will something be required to receive a minimum of, say, two votes in order to place in the results?

Working on tracks now. YOU FREAKS DIDN'T NOMINATE K. MICHELLE'S LOVE 'EM ALL????

I'm putting it on my ballot anyway.

so many things not nominated. Like I think there was like less than 20 house/tech songs nommed lol. can’t belief I missed Helena Hauff.

wasn’t going to nominate a bunch of 12s and weird tapes nobody but me and maybe one other poster would vote for

but I guess I thought there were more techno fans here… times change I guess

I realize those last three posts are rather incongruent
