Sundar, no i haven't. I am trying to encourage people who post on this stuff to nominate. I'll see how many nominations/interest it gets and if there isn't much then I'll prob not nominate; if I do nominate, it will happen on the last day.

The first two recs I wz thinking of were the MIMEO and ground zero's 'revolutionary...' but do nominate that and 'aggregates' but we already have one ground zero alb nominated ('consume red').

I haven't got all those recs from yr list but a Diamanda should be nominated and definetely 'SAWII'.

albums:
Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle
Dubstar - Disgraceful
Portishead - Dummy
TLC - CrazySexyCool
The Breeders - Last Splash
Belly - Star

I totally forgot The Richard D James Album, which I might even like more than SAWII. What's yr favourite Diamanda album?

Coil: Love's Secret Domain
Master Musicians of Jajouka: Apocalypse Across the Sky
Abdelli: New Moon
Cinematic Orchestra: Motion
Boredoms: Chocolate Synthesizer [I might just nominate that]

The 90's were when I largely dropped out of following the types of music that are most commonly discussed on ILM, and when I spent much more time on investigating the back catalog of other syles; so picking albums is a little difficult for me. (In the 90's I wasn't even following much avant- type stuff of the sort Julio and sundar are listing.)

The Shamen - "Boss drum"
Faith Evans - "Love like this before"
Front 242 - "Tragedy for you"
Felt - "Primitive painters"
Lush - "De-Luxe"

Good grief that's a long short-shortlist, and there are several that have been nominated that will be in there too. This is going to be hard. Can't we have 100 votes? Anyway, I hope some of these will get nominated soon, so that choosing two isn't too painful.

I've not even started on tracks - With 1000+ albums from the '90s, plus loads of singles, I guess it will be something like 15,000 tracks, maybe more, to think through, which will take ages. Maybe I'll try it tomorrow. Or I could be lazy and look at my 'pick of the year' tapes I did every year for friends plus my list of favourite albums, and that'll do me...

TRACKS
Sleater-Kinney, "Get Up"
Built to Spill, "Carry the Zero"

I beseech you, ILM.

-- chris herrington (herringto...), August 30th, 2004.

Dement, definitely.

I'd consider voting for Kool Thing, but I'm not gonna nominate it, not unless all of the following get taken care of first:

Humpty Dance
Protect Ya Neck
Not Gon Cry
Rebel Girl
All the Kids Are Right

(Then again, since it's tracks not singles, maybe I should ignore Dement on the album category and nominate "No Time To Cry" as a track?)

yeah, i did it way too soon, before i gave it enough thought. though i'm very happy to have nominated julee cruise.

SHANIA TWAIN, "STILL THE ONE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have to admit i don't know much 90s country.

i wonder, can i change my vote? i don't want to cause extra work for gear.

Maybe he'd do better in an 80s poll, since lots of people ("lots" in terms of the sparsely-populated Jandek world, I mean) think Blue corpse is his best lp.

xpost

jandek is far too marginal for a chart i suspect

I love that you're getting so obsessed about this, Amateurist. (Only because I am too, haha.)

King Missile – Detachable Penis
The Notorious BIG – Big Poppa
Teenage Fanclub – Alcoholiday
Nirvana – I Hate Myself And Want To Die
Cardigans – Lovefool
Radiohead – Black Star
Beastie Boys – Sabotage
Aphex Twin – Windowlicker
The Cure – Friday I’m In Love
LL Cool J – Around The Way Girl
D’Angelo – Brown Sugar
Belle And Sebastian – Like Dylan In The Movies
Souls Of Mischief – ’93 Till Infinity

-- Jonathan (jonathan_m...), August 31st, 2004.

the thing is, there's not much point in nominating it if you don't expect it to get more than one or two votes.... i mean this is subjective but this seems too obscure to garner many votes aside from yours (obscure to ilmors at least).

corona, "rhythm of the night"

it looks like there are singles from 'The Fat Of The Land' album but none from the previous two Prodigy albums. this is stupid and wrong.

if i rep for 808 State's 'Ex:El' would anyone else vote for it?

i'd rather have LFO's 'Advance' in than 'Frequencies' too - but worried about a split vote

Altern 8's 'Full On...Mask Hysteria' has been added to my albums shortlist

Will someone fucking nominate 'Cubik', for God's sake?

I love your 'glaring exclusions' - I've only ever heard anything by one of those artists!

i'm surprised no one's picked the tortoise yet

OK so scratch that proclaimers one. i was thinking of the obvious. (and i think that song had disappeared long enough for us no longer to be sick of it.) maybe something else by them?

I thought about Wowee Zowee, too, but figured that I wasn't too bothered by its omission as long as Pavement was already represented with S&E and CRCR.

Maxinquaye has already been nominated. Spiderland probably should be, though.

i'm glad abt maxinquaye (how did i miss that?)

I do agree with you on that!

I feel the way you do about Wowee Zowee about Belle & Sebastian and The Boy With The Arab Strap but I'm not sure I can be arsed using one of my two nominations just to make a point.

Out of the blue, via the sterling efforts of actress Mary Stuart Masterson, I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) became the theme song to the film Benny & Joon. In the summer of 1993, the song went from silver screen to small screen to airwaves to record shops. Over 28 weeks in the Billboard Hot 100, I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) climbed to number 3 nationally, sitting at number 1 in over half the States and selling a million copies.

yes, so perversely i'd say it qualifies, but i wouldn't bother using my nominations for that song.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I ahave a hard time voting for an artist multiple times, anyway, so I imagine those Pavement and Belle & Sebastian albums that are nominated will still get some love from me.

Or singles released off 1989 albums, either

no, these totally should count!! if they are associated with 1990 or 1991 or whatever!

i bet no one will nominate this and i will have to KILL YOU ALL

A year of first release is a year of first release. It's simple that way.

Anyway, enough nonsense:

Tracks:

Moby - 'Go'
808 State - 'Cubik'
Sinead O'Connor - 'Nothing Compares 2 U'
Pulp - 'This Is Hardcore'
Robbie Williams - 'She's The One'
The Spice Girls - 'Goodbye'
Shara Nelson - 'One Goodbye In Ten'
Brandy & Monica –'The Boy Is Mine'
Ruthless Rap Assassins - 'And It Wasn’t A Dream'
The JAMMs - 'It's Grim Up North (part 1)'
Leftfield - 'Not Forgotten'
Earth People - 'Dance'
Human Resource - 'Dominator'

Albums:

Lauryn Hill - 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill'
Billy Bragg & Wilco - 'Mermaid Avenue'
Angelo Badalamenti - Twin Peaks OST
The Wedding Present - 'Seamonsters'
Deee-Lite - 'World Clique'
Robert Forster - 'Danger In The Past'
Go Kart Mozart - 'Instant Wigwam and Igloo Mixture'

I don't know who sets the "rules" of the poll, but I'm wondering if the 1992 recording of Henryk Gorecki' Symphony No.3 Opus 36

You can nominate Lamb's "Gorecki" instead.

"Yes" - McAlmont & Butler (HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN NOMINATED YET!)
Voice of the Beehive "Don't Call Me Baby"
Flowered Up "Weekender"
Gary Clail "Human Nature"
Charles & Eddie "Would I Lie To You?"
Teenage Fanclub "Sparky's Dream"
Levitation "Even When Your Eyes Are Open"
Leftfield & Lydon "Open Up"
Strangelove "Time for the Rest of Your Life"
The Verve "History"
Dubstar "Not So Manic Now"
Super Furry Animals "The Man Don't Give a Fuck"

In Spite of Ourselves - John Prine
Diary of a Mod Housewife -- Amy Rigby
My Life -- Iris Dement
Bad Love-- Randy Newman
Colossal Head -- Los Lobos
Mermaid Avenue -- Bragg/Wilco
Can You Fly -- Freedy Johnston
Latin Playboys
Too Much Fun -- Holy Modal Rounders

singles badly in need of representation:

"Protect Ya Neck"
"Around the Way Girl"
"Not Gon Cry"
"All That I Got Is You"
"Everything's Gonna Be Alright"
"Kool Thing"
"Jump"
"You Got Me"
"Red Alert"
"Dead Homiez"
"Ready to Run"
"Back That Azz Up"
"Shoop"

FUCK YES.

Besides that, I'd say the Cardigans and BBoys have the best chance of making the poll, but I'd personally choose "Windowlicker" and "93 til Infinity"

alastair galbraith 'morse'
david kilgour 'here come the cars'
notre dame 'chansons francaises'
spoonfed hybrid 's/t'
his name is alive 'home is in your head'

How the FUCK did I forget that? It's only the BEST SONG EVER.

An hour ago, I thought I'd try and get an honest representation of my fave albums and tracks/singles. 25 each, truly represenatative, and informed by how much I still love them in 2004. Easy, right?:

1. Cornelius - Fantasma/CM/69/96
2. London Funk Allstars - Flesh Eating Disco Zombies vs The Bionic Hookers From Mars
3. The Dust Brothers - Fight Club
4. The Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole
5. Mekon - Welcome To Tackletown
6. The Prodigy - Experience

20. All Saints - All Saints
21. April March - Chrominance Decoder
22. Primal Scream - Vanishing Point
23. Ol Dirty Bastard - Return To The 36 Chambers (The Dirty Version)

25. The Beta Band - The Beta Band
Brit Hop And Amyl House
Soundbombing 2
Ugly Duckling - Fresh Mode
Kid Koala - Scratchcratchratchatch
Luke Vibert - Big Soup
Tricky - Maxinquaye

Here's the problem - even at 25, there are easily more that could have been in. My brane is already fizzing and sparking and my co-workers are noting my spinning eyeballs and the smoke coming out of my ears with alarm.

Now, singles/tracks:

1. Cornelius - Rock/96/Lazy
2. Flipper's Guitar - The World Tower
3. Michael Jackson - HIStory

24. Janet Jackson - Go Deep
25. Pianoman - Blurred
Urban Cookie Collective - The Key, The Secret
Portishead - Revenge Of The Number
Roni Size - It's A Jazz Thing
April March - Nothing New (Dust Brothers Remix)
Pizzicato Five - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 Barbie Dolls
Jeru Tha Damaja - Me Or The Papes (Rae and Christian Remix)
Let Loose - Best In Me
Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight

No Neneh Cherry. Almost no swingbeat. Almost no Timbaland (though I appreciated him more 2000-3 than before). Nearly no Dust Brothers, though with things like that I settle for knowing they're in the albums (cf Prodigy, Chems etc). No '2 Become 1'. No Goodmen. Brain explodes. Mess everywhere.

I motion for separating the polls into 1990-94 and '95-99, though I'm probably alone in that...

Carl Craig "More Songs About..."

Sweet Female attitude is "technically '99", much better that than another vote on the same Destiny's Child single (for example). There's also a ton of happy hardcore and old d'n'b that I can't name but really love. The 90s as a whole is too fucking big for this and I knew this already simply by watching MTV's So 90s each Sunday and noting how early-mid 90s-centric it is.

Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk

Mr Snrub -- "Guerilla" *has* been nominated ...

We should stop all this talk of splitting the poll in half because there's too much music and we'll never cover it all. *Of course* we'll never cover it all. That's the whole point -- it's a poll, and only the top 100 will matter in the end. The more you try to cover, the more the significance of the poll becomes diluted.

Except stevem ended up publishing the top 162 or whatever. With more nominations this time, there's no reason for it not to hit 200.

This actually makes a difference, as I hate to think of people not voting for things on the basis that they think they'll be a wasted vote. That way lies a boringly obvious, and untruthful poll. Let other people surprise you.

but in the end, it doesn't even matter

Finding Tom Ewing's top 100 singles of the 1990s (since disowned) via a Google search for Simon Reynolds or somesuch nonsense.

(I hate relying on the word "consensus" since the word is loaded from all the threads debating what it does/should/shouldn't mean. But I can't think of a better word now).

(xpost)

no chance of Primal Scream 'Vanishing Point' going in now i suppose

or David Holmes 'Let's Get Killed', or 'Exit Planet Dust', 'Dubnobasswithmyheadman', 'Leftism', 'Timeless' - the UK dance canon ignored shockah (apart from bloomin' Orbital)

Position Normal - Stop Your Nonsense
Throwing Muses - Real Ramona
Long Fin Killie - Houdini

Absence of the Chemical Brothers and Leftfield = no great loss. Someone played some early Chems at a party I was at last weekend and I was stunned at how leaden it sounded. Would be nice to see DNBWMHM and Beaucoup Fish in there, mind.

David Holmes
Goldie & Rob Playford
4 Hero
Roni Size (and Krust)
Leftfield
Rollo Armstrong

tho Graham Massey is only covered via Bjork's 'Post', and Norman Cook only as Pizzaman

i think if there's a problem with 'Exit Planet Dust' it's that it's not slow and heavy enough! there are no basslines to quite match 'Da Funk' for example, tho that did come two years later.

and i forgot 'Open Up' HAD been nominated by DJ Martian already - tho that's one of my least favourite tracks on the album

Track suggestions from me (some of these copied from JoB's list on the noms thread):

Air: Le Soleil est pres de moi
Arrested Development: Tennessee

Underworld: Cowgirl (or Rez, or Spikee, or Dirty Epic - in fact anything except the rubbish by them that's been nominated so far haha)

I think that's on the Guerrilla Dub House Disco compilation, my cassette copy of which broke many years ago. I'd like to hear it again.

Albums
I can hear the heart beating as one - yo la tengo
Music has the right to Kiddies - Boards of canada

My CtrlF has been playing up sorry if these are duplicates

Most of my first chouices for songs were already taken

Not sure who tto give my hate vote to, either KID A or 69 sh!te songs - but I hate them both equally - ie with unreserved venom

Someone else paying attention.

Lordy, I can almost see what Ricardo means with those Chemical comments, but I've gotten people to dance to the original and Dust Brothers' remix of 'Elektrobank' in the past 2 years, while 'Not Another Drugstore' and 'Chemical Beats' are tried, tested and true for me and a mate.

Glad in some ways (and apathetic in others) to see Tom's list. Look closely at no. 46 - JX - 'There's Nothing I Won't Do'. If no one else will, I may sawp 'The Key, The Secret' for it.

BTW, Steve, I'm waiting for you to tell me I'm the only one who gives a shit about 'Remember Me'...

'Remember Me'...are you talking about BT? i would vote for the Mood II Swing mix of that like wildfire but there's no way i can put that ahead of Tina Moore, Roy David Jr or even GAT DECOR right now

Please, no Blue Lines. I actually like a thrid of Mezzanine (oooh, 'Black Milk', you are my downbeat love).

Steve, think The Blueboy.

Bossanova Pixies
Trompe Le Monde Pixies

Lo-fidelity allstars 'How to operate...'

I hate this poll already :o(

Oh yeah. Although it took me about ten years to fully appreciate Body Exit Mind, it is now one of my favourite albums of all time.
I don't care that much for their older work though, too Happy Mondays I guess. Well, maybe in another ten years time.

Aw man, yes!

Fluke's 'Philly' would be nice. To be honest I don't know much other Fluke. Why does everyone like '2 Become 1' so much? 'Goodbye' 4ever!

More Euro house: Kyra - 'Easy To Love'.

Also - LFO's 'What is House?' I like a lot from my meagre 90s dance collection. Or is it the other track 'Tan ta ra'?

Also, a couple of fine Mo'Wax moments
The Dust Brothers' mix of Money Mark - 'Cry'

also, more air.

Tracks I thought about including ..

A Tribe Called Quest – Bonita Applebum
Aaliyah – Are You That Somebody?
Busta Rhymes – Woo-Ha
Catherine Wheel – Delicious
Cranberries – Zombie

R. Kelly – You Remind Me of Something
Scarface – I Never Seen A Man
Verve – The Drugs Don’t Work
Wu-Tang Clan – Can It All Be So Simple

This would be a fantastic choice for OMGWTFLOL poll.

I hope not. I seem to remember Matos questioning a little bit on the supposed indieness of latter day MAW stuff, but of course that was far removed from hate.

I'd put it in my top 20.

Are we voting for top 20 or only 15? The list will be really really diffuse I think if we didn't expand the voting totals a tiny bit. Like, the difference between #99 and #199 being negligible.

also I hope everyone would say a little something about their favorites and ones that others might be less likely to write about, because I know Steve had some trouble with certain albums not being written up.

And the window on nominations will close next Friday at midnight PT!

I still need to figure scoring. This might work:

70
65
60
56
52
48
46
44
42
40
38
36
34
32
30
28
26
24
22
20
18
16
14
12
10
8
6
4
2
1

woah, you did? Awesome.

Yeah, that scoring looks about right.

(x-post and nobody's nominating 'Legend Of A Cowgirl' - Imani Coppolla, I see)

I see the fear -- suppose, you've got a lot of people that *really* like, say, "Hey Ya". You worry about it getting a lot of #1 votes compared to its total votes. For instance, what if you had

Hey Ya: 10 #1 votes
30 total votes

Get Yr Freak On : 5 #1 votes
60 total votes

This is an extreme example, but it would appear that the voting was slanted by hardcore OutKast fans ranking their song very high.

Did these sorts of things happen on the 00's poll? As I mentioned on those threads, the only case where it did was with Daft Punk, i.e. lots of ILM uber-devotees, and the singles carried fewer total votes than other singles in proximity to them on the list (also due to vote splitting amongst the hardcore fans).

Therefore, under a 15 ... 1 voting system, Daft Punk would have likely finished considerably lower on the singles AND albums list ... remember OPM had 56 votes, 3 #1's. Discovery had 55 votes, *10* #1's. So, which is the more accurate picture of ILM's tastes?

With a 30 .. 1 vote system, you can wind up with crazy stuff like Loveless getting 4 #1 votes, OK Computer getting 4 #2 votes, and ONE #27 votes, and Radiohead is the winner! Sound like an unrealistic, contrived situation? It isn't -- that's more or less what happened in Pitchfork's 90's Redux list, MBV* got 4 #1's to OKC's one (and Neutral Milk Hotel's three), but OKC got more fringe top ten votes and won!

*this is a hugely significant margin when only twenty people vote in the poll.

It makes perfect sense. Twice the pool. Twice the nominations. Twice the votes.

I am more concerned about having 30 tracks tough. If we had to have a lesser number of one, I'd say the albums. But I think we should have 30 of both.

Ooh. Makes me very sad this one hasn't been nominated, of course. But at least it might draw a few more voters towards the Stardust track.

I thought 20 nominations was a good idea, but I'll go along with whatever the people in charge decide.

Right. I guess I assumed they wouldn't be, though.

also it's more interesting if also more frustrating to winnow it down to 15 rather than 30. in my opinion.

Look, the Use Yr Illusions are not perfect. But they are 1000XX better than all the British indie SHIT that is going to end up on this list.

A few other tracks: "The Operation" - Thinking Fellers, Gza "Liquid Swords", Passing Me By" Pharcyde, "Jackin For Beats" - Ice Cube. 'Tiger Trap" - Beat Happening but really, I am going to have a hard enough time as it is.

btw what are the rules on collusion? Because there are too many Disco Inferno tracks nominated.

Also U&K "Welcome to the Terrordome" isn't on the base58 list.

Hopefully, this absence will translate to a few more album votes.

Daft Punk - "Revolution 909"

Hopefully, someone will get off they asses and nominate this.

(i don't even know if i'm kidding)

Blue Lines though, Everything Must Go... Strange.

I thought someone had nominated Trompe Le Monde, but you're right - it's not on the list.

But I probably shouldn't say that (cos it'd mean *no* Fuzzy Logic).

2pac ft dr dre - "california love"

& albums wise the charm of the highway strip but it's not U&K.

& wait wait wait ppl have nominated the gin blossoms but no GIN & JUICE?!?!

ha, I didn't nominate Symphonica because I didn't figure anyone else would vote for it. I really wanted to nominate Koenjihyakkei's II, but didn't for the same reason.

I'd like to see "Porcelain" in there too, actually

So OTM it's scary. This was in my 10 or so candidates before I submitted nominations.

91 to 01

also, from ethan's 1990 list:
