ILM's 2021 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

It's time to rescue what was good from the wreckage of 2021, by ranking tracks and albums in order and then arguing about it.

Once again your EOY team is moka, forks and me. The nominations process (and this blurb) is likewise unchanged:

- Nominations are hereby declared open until midnight PST on Saturday January 1nd.

- 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:

Track Nominations
Album Nominations

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

I'd like to challenge anyone who nominated (or nominates going forward) an album to note the key song for them on that album for anyone who would like to have a go at the LP but simply can't listen to everything!

Maybe we should ilxmail you our choices to keep this thread clutter-free?

Oh right wait, this isn't about the playlist, this is about just recommending to others. Yeah, a separate thread for that I think!

i mean go for it? i'm doing my yearly culture vulturing here and i may be able to get through the tracks but there's no fucking way i'm even trying the albums without a cliff notes

Sund4r, the Nihiloxica album came out in 2020, was nominated last year too

If it's easier for the pollrunners, a lot of the track selections are in this playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5LWzXc65oUzyUGQQIec5UK?si=d7fa3add26c54a6e

(PS my list is fkn SICK if I do say so myself. CYA in the voting thread!)

I already nominated Drunk History and See Dem, so you get two more

Bankulli ft. Not3s - Foreign

fuck yeah

Tristan Arp - Sculpturegardening (From the Seams)

This song sounded crazy familiar to me. Figured it out. Rhythm, synths, and vocal cut ups all very reminiscent of Four Tet's "Sing."

what is it with my searches and your posts???

idk ;_;

Guess I'll nom a couple more then:

ALBUMS
Parquet Courts - Sympathy For Life

TRACKS
Sam Binga ft. Fox & Polo - Weh Mi Seh

also Jazmine's "Pick Up Your Feelings" was maybe my #1 song from 2021 and definitely got votes last year... i forget how we handle overlap songs? I guess I could vote for it again tbh.

I feel like that happens to me every year (this year it's "Essence"). iirc it has to actually place in the top 77 to be disqualified?

i believe this is an ep and not a single?
― When Young Sheldon began to rap (forksclovetofu), Thursday, December 16, 2021 4:22 PM (one hour ago) bookmarkflaglink

Sorry! This should be

Marc Mac - Uptown Posse

I had a feeling I'd heard Pick Up Your Feelings prior to 2021 but Spotify seems to think it came out this year?

"Pick Up Your Feelings" is a song by American singer Jazmine Sullivan, released on November 20, 2020 as the second single from her debut extended play (EP), Heaux Tales (2021).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick_Up_Your_Feelings

i forget how we handle overlap songs?

I think because we have year of impact allowances, you can nominate and vote for something the next year if and only if it didn't make the top 77 the last year.

Good on you for nomming D&D, silverfish. That record is really good, I just don't listen to enough of that genre and I am old friends with Takiaya so I didn't feel like I could do it.

if you hear the radio with any regularity, this was "pick up your feelings's" year

Hey, monotony, what do you know about Myra? I agree it’s a great album.

― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Thursday, December 16, 2021 4:19 AM (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink

Not much! I heard "Dovre faller" on a Scandipop playlist and was enamoured enough to check out the rest; it's a lot of fun and she's a promising talent.

I note that I misspelled the album title in my nomination post so if a mod can be bothered for the sake of me and longneck, please change it from Myra - Boxser & Ballerina to Myra - Bokser & Ballerina

Myra is signed to my friend’s label - and yeah, she’s very good indeed. I promise to vote for it.

Don't miss saer's first mention Papolious Jones - We're the OG Ghosts

It's not on Spotify but it's the business

Is campaigning ok here or will we have a separate thread,

There's usually a separate thread - I don't think anyone would mind if you mention stuff that's particularly notable but no embeds or anything.

roza terenzi & d. tiffany - step ball chain

Don't know if it matters, but the Roza Terenzi/D. Tiffany collab is called Tapestry of Sound

i think it was mis-labeled on streaming services with tapestry of sound as one of the artists and step ball chain (the name of the label that released it) entered as album name

Yeah, it's hard to get a clear answer on it, but I believe Step Ball Chain is the name of Roza Terenzi's label

The album and track playlists should be fully updated. I'll do a final pass of whatever is nominated in the next 10 hours or so in the next few days.

If I've posted the wrong version of something you've nominated or missed that it is available on spotify(US), let me know and I'll adjust accordingly.

That's 934 tracks on the tracks playlist and 8200+ on the albums, more or less enough to keep you busy for the rest of the year if you wanted.

more than in recent previous years, there's been a fair amount of not-on-spotify nominations, probably around less than 7% but still noteworthy.
