ILM's 2018 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

Ok!

This year the EOY team is moka, forks and me; we'll be sticking to the rules and principles laid down by our saviour Johnny Fever in bygone times so you already know how it works.

- Nominations are hereby declared open until midnight PST on Friday January 4th.

- Everyone gets a max of 30 nominations, split as you see fit across tracks and albums. You can nominate 15 albums and 15 tracks, or 29 albums and 1 track, or 0 albums and 30 tracks - you get the idea.

- Please make sure it's obvious which nominations are tracks and which are albums.

- Always use the order "Artist - Track"/"Artist - Album", never put the artist second. It's hard enough to filter out duplicates as it is.

- Ctrl+F through the thread before nominating, or check the spreadsheets:

Tracks Nominations
Album Nominations

- No YouTube embeds in this thread! There will be a promotion thread when the time comes.

We should have playlists up and running soon, watch this space!

Nadah El Shazly - Ahwar

I'm afraid this one came out in 2017. One of my favourites from last year, incidentally.

digital was 2017, physical was 2018, a fair case could be made for year of impact imo

https://www.discogs.com/Nadah-El-Shazly-Ahwar/release/11714998

Eh that's still stretching it tbh. It came out in November.

The 2017 Bandcamp release, that is.

I guess I'll just have to disagree and leave it up to the poll runners, seems fine to me.

It was on a few 2017 EOY lists, including The Wire's, so it's not like it was completely obscure prior to 2018. But that's just pedantic me.

ALBUMS

U.S. Girls - In a Poem Unlimited

I'm not a runner anymore, but I'd have let the Nadah El Shazly in for sure since there was a physical 2018 release.

foolish consistency is the yadda yadda yadda

21/30

My favourite poll of the year :)

Pre-thanks to runners and participants, as this largely informs my listening for the following six months. If this year I find something half as good as The Weather Station, I'll be a happy happy man.

It really is the best poll. Listening to all the tracks nominations is a non-stop party that encapsulates every mood!

especially when you have 10% belgian ale

i want to nominate the ale

Good idea, May I nominated Chimay Bleue?

The auto-correction of my smartphone drives me crazy.

this is struise pannepot riserva. the deep cut banger you didn't know you needed

Ah I'm done for tonight! Still missing the last 10 posts or so of albums but album playlist is currently 200 hours long!

https://open.spotify.com/user/forksclovetofu/playlist/5W0EpplRnzDqOsgIGBtab1?si=ywdqD0S_Rtihsgt2aIhfNA

I've been thinking of only adding the first song of each album or rather the top song of each album on spotify so it makes these actually worth listening to... if you like what you hear you go to the full album yourself. Otherwise I don't think there's anyone in here who actually listens to this playlist in full it would take a full month haha. What do you think?

I like that idea!

That makes a lot of sense. If you're curious about something, click through to the whole album.

anyone else having problems?

My browser mangled the URLs when using those links, for some reason. Manually restored the '?' and '=' to their rightful positions and all was well.

Should work, although it puts albums with brief single track intros at a disadvantage.

^^ that was my thought, maybe include the 1st two tracks if track #1 is under 2 minutes>

Updated the Albums playlist, still missing the last 30 or so noms. I've removed full albums and instead chosen the most listened song per album on spotify, if you feel one of your noms is underrepresented by that song please tell me so I can interchange it. Instead of being 200+ hours long the playlist is currently 24 hours long, much more accessible... if you like what you're listening to go to the full album.

holy shit this Orcutt/Corsano record is amazing, thanks EZ Snappin

Glad you like it!

Olamide - Logba Logba
Rayvanny - Chombo
Starboy ft. Duncan Mighty & Wizkid - Fake Love

(10/30)

I've been out for a few days but the spreadsheets are now up to date.

Reniss - Express, Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 (I combined the two EPs she released this year)

I don't know all the details but if they were two separate releases I don't think we should combine them.

I don’t know, it’s a 5-track set called Express, Vol. 1 and a 4-track one called Express, Vol. 2 that are of a piece stylistically, so they feel like the two sides of a single album. It’s just that these days you can play much more with the album format like that.

and with the release schedule, I meant to add

Plus, for the sake of consistency, you would have to split the two Amerie EPs that are currently one nomination on the spreadsheet… just saying

Tracks:

Mary Lattimore - It Feels Like Floating
The Breeders - MetaGoth
Fucked Up - Joy Stops Time
Keith Fullerton Whitman - Albatross (Blend)

Albums:

Charnel Ground - Charnel Ground
Mary Lattimore - Hundreds of Days
Fucked Up - Dose Your Dreams

xp The Amerie EPs were released at the same time, not 8 months apart.

(The mods can do whatever they like, but I wouldn’t have nominated the Amerie EPs as a single entry if they hadn’t been released on the same day.)

(and if they hadn’t been marketed as a “double EP”)

ALBUMS:

Greta Van Fleet - Anthem Of The Peaceful Army
Sting & Shaggy - 44/876

(2/30)

TRACKS:

Mason Ramsey - Famous
Lil B - Keke That's My Kitty
Night Shift - My Dad Is The BTK

(is there a canonical poll nom style for featuring artists btw, for avoidance of duplicates etc? I myself very much favour "Bruno Mars ft. Cardi B - Finesse" over "Bruno Mars - Finesse (ft. Cardi B)" since "ft. Cardi B" clearly belongs in the artist description, not the track title – a song should generally not change its title by being performed by a different artist I think)

I think that may have been a mistakenly submitted ballot?

It was! Copy and paste error!

u have to order it and submit it as an ordered ballot to dilute the spoiler now

ALBUM
Geir Sundstøl - Brødløs
TRACK
Geir Sundstøl - Waterloo

It is tuneful impressionist guitar-based slightly melancholic instrumental music in an ECM vein. I guess it is on Spotify.

I don’t really get that argument. It may turn out to be too niche or whatever to place, but as far as I can see any type of music “belongs” in the (nominations for the) EOY.
