Now that we've created an incredibly large master list through nominations, it's time to vote! Everybody thank seandalai for helping out, otherwise we wouldn't be having a very generous 100 vote ballot (without automation, computation would be nearly impossible on my part). Here's how it works for you, the voter:
* Go to this form: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dG91cHhoYnZCdVpLTGFzZXF0R214Q0E6MQ* Choose one of the three options: weighted, unweighted, or partly weighted/partly unweighted.* Copy and paste your votes DIRECTLY from the nominations list. This is important. Hand entered votes that don't follow the proper syntax will likely get lost and remain uncounted.* A weighted ballot will consist of (up to) 100 votes, and the points will be assigned downwards from 200, 198, 196...6, 4, 2. Please put your selections in order of preference starting with your intended #1 at the top.* An unweighted ballot will consist of (up to) 100 votes, and the points will be evenly distributed. Each selection will be awarded 101 points. Order of preference is not important.* A split ballot will rank your first set of selections like a weighted ballot. LEAVE A SPACE BETWEEN YOUR WEIGHTED SET AND UNWEIGHTED SET. Your unweighted selections will split the remaining points evenly. You still have a maximum of 100 votes on a split ballot, but you choose how many are weighted and how many are unweighted.* The deadline for ballot submission is FRIDAY NOVEMBER 26 at MIDNIGHT EST (that's the day after Thanksgiving for you Americans)
And now the master list of nominations:

Oh, also...it's important that you enter your ILX username and email address. This is to prevent ballot box stuffing, but also to contact you in case of a problem.

Hm - first trawl yields a shortlist of 310
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 15 November 2010 13:54 (fifteen years ago)
Couple of minor points for maximal transparency:
- If you vote for a song twice, the second vote will be ignored and lower-ranked votes will be moved up one.- Votes for non-shortlisted songs will similarly be ignored- If you submit a mixed ballot with more than one blank line, the first one will be treated as the splitting point and the others will be ignored.- If you vote for more than 100 tracks, only the top 100 will be counted.- If you submit more than one ballot, your last submission will be assumed to be your real ballot. Please don't do this though, it causes us headaches.
― seandalai, Monday, 15 November 2010 14:36 (fifteen years ago)
I just noticed the list includes "Romeo" by Basement Jaxx, even though it came out in 2001.
― Tuomas, Monday, 15 November 2010 15:53 (fifteen years ago)
They were ahead of their time.
― _Rudipherous_, Monday, 15 November 2010 15:56 (fifteen years ago)
Your unweighted selections will split the remaining points evenly.
OK, quick question: If I submitted a mixed ballot of say, 2 weighted + 2 unweighted = 4 entries total. What points would each track get? Thanks.
― daavid, Monday, 15 November 2010 16:00 (fifteen years ago)
I assume the points of your weighed votes are subtracted from the total amount of 10 100 points, and the rest is divided by the number of your unweighed votes to get the amount of points an unweighed entry gets, except that it can't be more than 101.
― Tuomas, Monday, 15 November 2010 16:05 (fifteen years ago)
So in your case it would make sense to give a weighed vote to your 4 songs, because the unweighed ones can't have more than 101 points, so if you weigh them they'll have more points than that.
― Tuomas, Monday, 15 November 2010 16:07 (fifteen years ago)
lololol Year of the Cat
― Stop Non-Erotic Cabaret (Abbbottt), Monday, 15 November 2010 16:12 (fifteen years ago)
xpost OK, thanks Tuomas.
― daavid, Monday, 15 November 2010 16:16 (fifteen years ago)
Weighted 1 gets 200 points.Weighted 2 gets 198 points.All unweighted votes get 99 points each; if you maxed out your unweighed allowance (i.e. 98 unweighted votes) your total points allocation would be 10100.
The formula for allocating unweighted votes is basically 101 minus the number of weighted votes.
― seandalai, Monday, 15 November 2010 17:17 (fifteen years ago)
As Tuomas pointed out, if you have a small ballot you should go for all weighted.
― seandalai, Monday, 15 November 2010 17:35 (fifteen years ago)
Is everybody having fun yet?
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 15 November 2010 18:16 (fifteen years ago)
I've managed to get my list down to 100, think I'm going to go with an unweighted ballot. Can't wait for the results.

― hey look at me i'm a drunken asshole, how 'bout that huh? (Ioannis), Monday, 15 November 2010 18:23 (fifteen years ago)
I didn't have much trouble getting my hundred, but ranking them seems impossible (not that it's required).
― _Rudipherous_, Monday, 15 November 2010 18:33 (fifteen years ago)
My plan is to rank around 10 tracks that I think might use some extra help to get in the top 100 and leave the rest unweighted. Need to listen to a lot more of the pre-1960 material first though, I barely know any of it.
― seandalai, Monday, 15 November 2010 18:37 (fifteen years ago)
I'm planning on ranking the ones that, on their day, I might have as THE best song of the century - probably a couple of dozen of those - and then leave the others unranked. That way the ultra important ones all score big, and the merely very important ones all score reasonably.
Now only to decide which is which.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 15 November 2010 18:41 (fifteen years ago)
I know what my #1 is but ranking beyond that is going to be fucking nuts!

Without giving anything away, I'll say that, with 10 ballots already in (including my own), there is very little consensus to be seen so far. I have no idea how this is going to turn out...and that's exciting!

Well, there is some consensus.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 15 November 2010 23:05 (fifteen years ago)
I hope that songs with only one vote won't make it in the top 100.
Is there a rule for this? I doubt any of the songs in my top 5 will get a lot of support on other ballots and I would hate it if my vote alone places them on the list.
― gospodin simmel, Monday, 15 November 2010 23:14 (fifteen years ago)
Judging by the amount of interest, and the move to 100-vote ballots, I'm pretty sure that won't happen
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 15 November 2010 23:16 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah, that's what I was thinking until Johnny's low consensus comment made me worry.
We can expect approximately 70 ballots, right?
― gospodin simmel, Monday, 15 November 2010 23:25 (fifteen years ago)
I'd hope for at least that, but several people have remarked on how daunting the task is. I don't know if that will mean more participation or less.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 15 November 2010 23:26 (fifteen years ago)
Also the max vote is 200 points - so unlike some of the freeform polls you can't give all your votes to one track.

Depends on what the list looks like. If there's some additional variety to be found, I might stretch it to 125 by counting down 25 a day over a M-F period.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 00:15 (fifteen years ago)
maybe reveal 200-101 on Monday and then 25 for the next 4 days? just an idea
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 00:21 (fifteen years ago)
also this is such a random assortment i dont see any way the top 10 could be accurately predicted which is a huge reason for this being such an awesome idea
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 00:22 (fifteen years ago)
we will know too much about the list if 200-101 are revealed before the countdown. might kill the excitement
― gospodin simmel, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 00:25 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah, I much prefer to find out what didn't make it AFTER the countdown is over instead of before it starts.

Amon Duul, Aphrodite's Child, Art Ensemble of Chicage, Arthur Russell, Arvo Part, Augustus Pablo, etc etc. I think most of the stuff I want to check out again is some of the more traditional classical and jazz, but I'm guessing that'll be a pattern throughout, as they're genres I'm interested in but don't know that much of (more so with trad classical).
― emil.y, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 20:16 (fifteen years ago)
I'm really interested how those classical and jazz tracks will do in this thing. Likely to get destroyed by all the pop stuff.
― gospodin simmel, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 21:23 (fifteen years ago)
Listening to "Yakety Sax" now, I'm glad I voted for it! Even without the Benny Hill connection it's an awesome tune.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 21:33 (fifteen years ago)
Post some animated GIFs you can watch to the tune of "Yakety Sax" aka the Benny Hill Show theme song
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 21:37 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah, "Yakety Sax" is kind of an island unto itself, regardless of the Benny Hill association.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 21:47 (fifteen years ago)
Ha the stronger association for me now is the Dave Chappelle skit of "Roots outtakes."
― Stop Non-Erotic Cabaret (Abbbottt), Tuesday, 16 November 2010 23:19 (fifteen years ago)
251 for me. I didn't actually nominate anything*, and my eventual ballot will bear little relation to what would be my actual choices, but should at least contain a lot of good tunes**.
*because I was mostly ignoring this poll on the basis that it was impossibly broad
**and possibly 'Shattered Dreams' by Johnny Hates Jazz
― Porpoises Rescue Dick Van Dyke (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Tuesday, 16 November 2010 23:23 (fifteen years ago)
I did nominate and still found myself wishing for a bunch of stuff that's not on the list.
― seandalai, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 23:31 (fifteen years ago)
Finally put in my ballot...getting it down to 105 tracks was relatively painless, but each cut after that was excruciating. I feel better now that it's over with.
― seandalai, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 00:53 (fifteen years ago)
Cool, that makes 20 already.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 00:58 (fifteen years ago)
I've just built a listening list that's 789 songs long *eep!*
― Sméagol-Eye Cherry (NickB), Wednesday, 17 November 2010 01:06 (fifteen years ago)
I'd like it on record that I've had not a single break from listening since I last posted, and I have only just reached 'C'. That's five and a quarter hours of listening to 'B', I believe.
― emil.y, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 01:26 (fifteen years ago)
and what were the highlights?
― acoleuthic, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 01:28 (fifteen years ago)
Ummmm... I think I've gone catatonic now. Let's see, Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday, for definite. There was a bunch of big-band sounding stuff, which definitely included Bix Beiderbecke (although a highlight, still not sure I'm going to vote for it). Oh, and Blind Willie Johnson is now a possibility for a vote of mine, I think. Other ones I'd already earmarked for voting would include Big Star ('Holocaust') and Black Sabbath.
My lasting impression of what made up the 'B' section = blues, brass and Bustah Rhymes.
― emil.y, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 01:36 (fifteen years ago)
emil.y since you're at it you could compile a spotify playlist with you rown highlights for the rest of ILM to hear (I don't get Spotify in my country tho...)
― Moka, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 02:00 (fifteen years ago)
If you do decide to make it tho I'd like a list so I can listen to them elsewhere.
― Moka, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 02:01 (fifteen years ago)
Oof, maybe. Will have a look at it tomorrow, as I'm about to give up in favour of sleep.
― emil.y, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 02:02 (fifteen years ago)
I'd take on such titanic task but surely my picks would not be as interesting as yours. Plus I already voted and I'm afraid I'll bump into a new favorite song and then sorely regret not waiting a bit more to make my choices.
― Moka, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 02:06 (fifteen years ago)
Right now per example I'm listening to Big Star's holocaust per your recommendation and I'm already dazzledd - regretting not hearing it before / happy about discovering it now.
― Moka, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 02:08 (fifteen years ago)
Just saw an early tabulation of the ballots submitted up to this point. Surprising results! Things will change, of course, but not at all what I was expecting.
Also, as seandalai mentioned to me, we're already out of the woods for a one-vote wonder cracking the top 100 (even the top 300).
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 02:29 (fifteen years ago)
Got it down to 230+, and I thought I was doing okay. Then the pain set in. I'm pretty close to 100 now, but I'm suffering the guilt pangs and second-guesswork of a legion of self-flagellants.
― Lostandfound, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 05:28 (fifteen years ago)
Super-damn. I'm down to 203 tracks and the cutting's beginning to get truly painful.

I've just noticed that 'Taj Mahal' has made it in twice - once in the Gil e Jorge version, and once in medley form with 'Fio Maravilha' and 'Pais Tropical'. I guess I'll probably cast for both, and they're obviously hugely different beasts, but seems to me this should be taken into account in the final reckoning (e.g. a special 86½th place if/when neither makes it in individually)
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 14:03 (fifteen years ago)
Isn't the Gil e Jorge version the "canonical" one? I voted for that but not the medley, in fact I've never even heard the medley.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 14:50 (fifteen years ago)
I only knew the medley from various fierce live versions before today, the recorded one's actually slightly underwhelming I see. The Gil e Jorge is sweet though. I thought the canonical version was a third version altogether, from Africa Brasil.
There are some genres where limiting to one definitive recording doesn't work imo, like jazz, classical or show tunes - 'Brazil' is probably another.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 15:58 (fifteen years ago)
Yo J0rdan s/crumbsinthebutter (if you're reading): the ballots we have for you are pretty short (~50 tracks), is this ok? Just want to make sure nothing got lost.
― seandalai, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 16:49 (fifteen years ago)
Apologies, but I don't remember if I saw a confirmation screen after submitting my ballot. Can you guys just confirm here that you got it?
― Lostandfound, Thursday, 18 November 2010 18:50 (fifteen years ago)
kind of stalled out in the trimming process. got it down to 100 with great pain and suffering, but then couldn't bring myself to submit my ballot. so i cut about 20 more, provisionally, based on the idea that i'd go back through the master list and reconsider my initial cuts. big mistake...
― naked human hands and a foam rubber head (contenderizer), Thursday, 18 November 2010 19:37 (fifteen years ago)

I'm down to 480. This is going to be tough.
Out of curiosity, what is the most songs you're including by any one artist? I know there are no limits, but I'm struggling with this.
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 18 November 2010 22:05 (fifteen years ago)
I limited myself to one song per artist, but that's not the case for other people.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 18 November 2010 22:17 (fifteen years ago)
picking 100 tracks was not so hard. putting them in order is going to take some time.
― you really love meta jokes, this is a thing that you are into (crüt), Thursday, 18 November 2010 22:18 (fifteen years ago)
That's where the split ballot came in handy for me. I ranked 45 and let the other 55 split the remaining points equally.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 18 November 2010 22:20 (fifteen years ago)
putting more than maybe 2 or 3 songs for a given artist seems kinda ridiculous, unless you really think that artist totally flat dominated all good music produced in the 20th century. i'm gonna give a couple each to the stooges & the beatles, cut i was weaned on beatles and want to see the stooges well represented in the final list. other than that, 1 per.
― naked human hands and a foam rubber head (contenderizer), Thursday, 18 November 2010 22:26 (fifteen years ago)
^ classic rockist
I think just going through the list track by track and doing algorithmic-ish sort of "well, this song belongs above this song but below this song" is my only choice
― you really love meta jokes, this is a thing that you are into (crüt), Thursday, 18 November 2010 22:26 (fifteen years ago)

Down to 112 now and it's agony. And wtf is with nominating specific remixes? I really want to vote for 'I Got 5 On It' but this is NOT the best version
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 18 November 2010 22:54 (fifteen years ago)
putting more than maybe 2 or 3 songs for a given artist seems kinda ridiculous, unless you really think that artist totally flat dominated all good music produced in the 20th century.
I don't think that, but I didn't make any nominations so I don't feel that my ballot will accurately reflect what I'd consider the greatest music of the 20th century, it will just be what I decided were my favourites tunes from the list of nominations. And my favourite tunes might well consist of several by the same artist/group - I'd rather vote for the individual tracks I like most, rather than limit myself to one per group for the sake of diversity.
Copy tracks into spreadsheet. Mark 1 for things you might vote for, 0 for things you won't. Sort. Delete zeroes. Mark what's left out of ten. Sort. Delete those towards the bottom to shorten the list. Sleep on it. Listen again. Mark everything afresh. Sort again. Delete some more. Repeat until you have 100 then fine tune.
― Porpoises Rescue Dick Van Dyke (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Thursday, 18 November 2010 22:56 (fifteen years ago)
Can't help you there. No one nominated the original. xp
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 18 November 2010 22:57 (fifteen years ago)
I love running polls like this, mostly to see some people AGONIZE over voting. I really didn't (and never do) have a hard time with the actual voting. I may regret a couple things later, but it's nothing I can't live with.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 18 November 2010 22:59 (fifteen years ago)

I'm working on basis that for each track all mixes, live versions, etc are included xp. Otherwise I need to know which specific performance of 'Jupiter' I'm being asked to consider.
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 18 November 2010 23:04 (fifteen years ago)
Quite. I'm probably going to vote for This Charming Man, but in my mind it's all about the Hatful of Hollow version, not the one that most people are probably voting for.
― Porpoises Rescue Dick Van Dyke (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Thursday, 18 November 2010 23:07 (fifteen years ago)
The Hatful of Hollow one only has a half-formed bassline though. It's one of the ones I'm agonising over myself.

Tks, JF.
― Lostandfound, Friday, 19 November 2010 05:12 (fifteen years ago)
No Smiths even made my list. No Beatles either. One Stones, but a handful of Dylan. I really was all over the place, but as NB&S said, I just went into it deciding to vote for my favourite songs and to hell with the rest of it.I think what's interesting for me is where my list veered from the canon, and that will be what's interesting about the final tally, I hope.
― Lostandfound, Friday, 19 November 2010 05:15 (fifteen years ago)
i've got two smiths tracks in there (kind of justified given they run pretty close to being my favourite band of all time) and i think three dylan tracks from memory. mostly, i tried to keep it to one song per artist, but in the end there were a few artists i really wanted to rep for.

Co-sign this. At first I started from the viewpoint of which were the 'most important' songs of the century. Then came to the realization that I was in no way remotely qualified to make such a judgement based on the masses of stuff on the list I'd never heard of, gave up, and went with which of the nominated songs meant the most to me personally. Which is how I ended up with 5, yep 5 count 'em, Public Enemy tracks in my 100.
As for agonizing over whether the right or wrong version of a song was nommed I just ignored this. I have never knowingly heard any properly recorded version of 'You'll Never Walk Alone', I'm voting for the song as sung at Anfield before the European Cup Semi Final vs Chelsea in 2005 (technically wrong century then)
List went from 186-153-123-109-103-finally 100. Worth all the hours if only because this list introduced me to Jacques Brel for the first time. Jesus what a singer!
― epically swindled (pandemic), Friday, 19 November 2010 09:37 (fifteen years ago)
Done! Ballot sent. Thank you Johnny F and seandalai!
― epically swindled (pandemic), Friday, 19 November 2010 10:14 (fifteen years ago)
Ha! It was the 'You'll Never Walk Alone' sung after that game that fianlly sold me on it - there's an amazing youtube out there that I'm saving for if it makes the 100. The recorded versions that I've found so far all seem pretty poor in comparison - Elvis' is okay - though there's a rather sweet 1965 Liverpool rendition at Wembley if you want to be picky about centuries.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 19 November 2010 10:18 (fifteen years ago)

― Johnny Fever, Friday, 19 November 2010 17:41 (fifteen years ago)
Same here - it just worked out that way. Some artists had two in my intial shortlist of about 120+ but not the final 100. Also yeah, even though Joni Mitchell, Led Zeppelin and Stevie Wonder had a fair few songs nominated each, none were among my three or four absolute favourites by any of them.
― Gavin in Leeds, Friday, 19 November 2010 17:56 (fifteen years ago)
Thx for the clarification, abanana.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 19 November 2010 18:10 (fifteen years ago)
Duplicates are spotted automatically so the only effect was that only 96 songs got points from abanana. No harm done.

― seandalai, Friday, 19 November 2010 18:52 (fifteen years ago)
Ordering them seems like part of the fun, so I did it, although a lot of the orders ended up being pretty random. I didn't waste too much time on individual "is this track better than this one" type questions beyond putting the songs I liked the best up top and the ones I liked least at the bottom. I tried to stick to one track per artist, but ended up sneaking in two by Bing, Dylan and the Stones.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Friday, 19 November 2010 19:22 (fifteen years ago)
I had two tracks from a couple of my personal canon artists (Arthur Russell, Kate Bush, Jimi Hendrix, Jacques Brel...), ranked about eight tracks I'd consider worthy overall winners (not that they will win) and left the rest unweighted.

Actually, something interesting I learned about myself from all this - great tunes and beautiful structures are all very well, but the ones that score really highly for me are all about transcendent moments. Something like 'There She Goes' might be perfect, but it didn't get near my list while a lot of (imo) slightly flawed things did - because those are the ones with the backing vocal or the chord change that just hit me right there.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 19 November 2010 22:13 (fifteen years ago)
I know exactly what you mean. I gave a shit ton of points to "Bela Lugosi's Dead," not because it's really a remarkable piece of music, but because I could ride that groove into eternity.

We have 37 ballots in so far, spanning 1,478 tracks from 873 artists. It's pretty interesting to watch the voting unfold as the lead has changed at least once every day. I'm not sure what is and is not surprising, as most tracks on the shortlist are all-time classics anyway.

― State Attorney Foxhart Cubycheck (Billy Dods), Sunday, 21 November 2010 13:06 (fifteen years ago)
Good point...The Fairport Convention version is the best-known one (by far, probably), but Sandy Denny and The Strawbs also recorded a version on All Our Own Work. Not really sure whether to second-guess the voters, as both the "Fairport Convention" and "Sandy Denny" listings have received points; whatever we decide will make a significant difference to the results.

― Moka, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 18:44 (fifteen years ago)
I didn't vote a Cure track, chiefly because "Fascination Street" wasn't nom'ed, but "A Forest" would've been my second choice.

I've already made peace with the fact most people are going about voting in a subjective manner rather than an objective manner, which is...a thing, so there will be far less canon on the ILM list than the one this poll was actually a reaction to (though I cannot remember now who conducted it, as the NPR list wasn't the one I was thinking of). If nothing else, we'll have a fun week of infighting and tomfoolery. :)

This has probably been answered 20 times already, but: if I go through the list, pick out the songs I really love, and end up with, say, 37 or something, how many points does each get if I leave them unranked?

voting in a subjective manner rather than an objective manner
The only honest way to vote, IMO. I suppose "objective" in this case would mean voting for things one appreciates for various reasons, including historical context, but not necessarily love?
― daavid, Thursday, 25 November 2010 14:50 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah, Johnny Fever, you say that as though it's such an unproblematic concept. Personally, I did include some oldies/classics partly because of their importance and out of some sort of abstract admiration for them, but only if I liked them, or if they had at least hit him for me at one point or another.

― _Rudipherous_, Thursday, 25 November 2010 15:17 (fifteen years ago)
I did take historical imnportance into account, but ultimately it came down to whether I considered a track to be an exceptional example of its genre and whether I simply love it (subjectively).

Same here. In Norway it stayed at the number one position for half a year, but I didn't realize it sold that much worldwide. You shouldn't underestimate the power of the German market though. Measured in items sold, it is a bigger market than the UK market. Just look at the sales numbers of that Modern Talking single as well - a song that flopped in both the UK and US market.
― You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Thursday, 25 November 2010 21:21 (fifteen years ago)

At some point, I would love to know in some detail everyone's process, whether "subjective" or "objective", or whatever. I don't think the conversation or concept is trivial, and it might lead to the most satisfying ILM clusterfuck conversation ever.
In all seriousness, I suspect many of us brought a whole bunch of criteria to the table, and (going by my own) I'll bet some of the internal monologues and contortions would be fascinating. As daavid wrote, how do you decide whether "Adagio for Strings" ranks above or below "Push It"? I'm probably strange that way, but I'd love to know how some of these calls end up being made.
― Lostandfound, Thursday, 25 November 2010 22:50 (fifteen years ago)
i don't know whether i could detail my thought processes in coherent fashion. i'm whittling down a long list of 400+, mainly by choosing one song per artist and then by deleting ones i'd like to see in the top 100 but which aren't better (or more worthy) than others in my list.
one problem is that when i come close to deleting a track i'm only comparing it to ones around it in alphabetical order. but that is the nature of the beast: too many songs, too little time, too few votes.

― i look at the interior of my sack and feel sad (ilxor), Thursday, 25 November 2010 23:15 (fifteen years ago)
Well, you could make a fist of evaluating influence on subsequent music and broader historical importance - Bob Dylan is more important than Guided By Voices, whether or not you'd rather listen to "Game of Pricks" than "Like a Rolling Stone". Obviously this shifts some of the subjectivity to judging "importance" but it does assume the existence of some sort of canon that's removed from the immediate and ahistorical listening experience. This would probably lead to something like the RIAA's Songs of the Century list, which I think is a pretty good summary of the 20th century in American popular music but is far less fun to argue about than the ILM version will be.

nothing personal to seandalai but that approach is the very opposite of where i've ended up, which is 'which songs from the last century that i can vote for in this poll are the ones i couldn't do without if there were only 100 left to listen to?' it's - for me anyway - the best way of avoiding 'canon' considerations.

― seandalai, Thursday, 25 November 2010 23:47 (fifteen years ago)
i think pretty much all the selections i made with the mindset of including "canonical" songs got whittled away gradually as i began the ruthless process of condensing my shortlist. with a few songs i asked myself "is this really a reflection of something i really love or am i just being compliant"?. in the end there was a whole lot of widely revered stuff in my top 100 that happened to coincide with my personal views.
― charlie h, Thursday, 25 November 2010 23:49 (fifteen years ago)
It's interesting that the highest ranking Rolling Stones song ("(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction") on that songs of the century list wasn't even nominated here.

As daavid wrote, how do you decide whether "Adagio for Strings" ranks above or below "Push It"?
That'd have to be subjective. Which means classical music loses for most (I'd rank "Adagio" way about "Push It" though. Particularly the Orbit version ;) )
― You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Thursday, 25 November 2010 23:57 (fifteen years ago)

Gave preference to songs that I thought had a chance to make it but this particular poll turned out quite eclectic so no idea if my perception holds true.

I definitely made room in my own ballot for some things I don't listen to very often, but are certainly important/respected compositions from the last century. Not that they're tokens or anything (I truly like them), but I probably skewed a little more toward broad regard than personal pet songs.

I came out with a longlist of about 300, about any song that I would have considered voting for, plus a bunch of stuff that wasn't necessarily what I'd consider a particular artist's best work but that I could still get behind. Like, I think the most singular and powerful thing the Feelies ever did was "Moscow Nights", but I wasn't about to split the slim Feelies vote by nominating such an outlier; and for sure I'm voting for something by those guys. There were also a bunch of songs on my longlist that I wouldn't be able to hum and probably wouldn't take to a desert island - mostly prewar stuff - that I wanted to bump because of historical importance & geneaology-of-pop purposes. A lot of that stuff had to go, in the end, but I kept some that I had genuine affection for. I would always cut a rad 80s song before cutting anything pre-1960 just because I smelled the poll swinging hard toward the 80s. I figured "When Doves Cry" was going to get a bazillion votes anyhow, but Blind Willie Johnson always needs a leg up.
Although come to think of it, I don't imagine I had the heart to cut "When Doves Cry". It's just too good.
I'm the least confident about the balancing act I tried to pull off was balancing how much I like and would want to hear a song nowadays with what songs have meant to me throughout the years, regardless of whether I even want to hear another Hank Williams or Neil Goddamn Young song again (much less "In the Mood") in my entire future. I mean, I'm currently on a big Kraut kick, but I wasn't going to fill up my goddamn list with Can and NEU! songs at the expense of Bessie Smith and the Everly Brothers.

― Porpoises Rescue Dick Van Dyke (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Friday, 26 November 2010 07:47 (fifteen years ago)
Objective/subjective dichotomy - I probably went for a bit of both. I tried to include something from every genre I like (i.e. everything but prog), but went for the 'best' rather than 'most important' in each. No way was I voting for 'Adventures on the Wheels of Steel' just cos it was first.
As for what 'best' is, I mentioned upthread that what does it most for me is transcendent moments - having worked that out, it was kind of a question of identifying which tunes had best/most of these (great lyric, scintillating solo, neat harmonic changes, smokin' live version, whatever). Much as I love 'Cortez the Killer', there's not actually that much going on there, so out it went.
The track I ended up with at #1 I hadn't expected, but on listening this way it seemed obviously the best amazing-moment-after-amazing-moment, so there it is. That said, ask me later and I'll give you a totally different answer, so...
I'm a bit worried about the eventual list now though. If 'best of the 20th century' turns out to mean a pile of early Cure tracks, hardly any universals, and nothing before 1965, we might as well not have bothered imo
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 26 November 2010 09:33 (fifteen years ago)
wow, i really don't get why people are having such great difficulty narrowing their choices down here. i mean, yeah, i get that "the list" can seem daunting at first. and, sure, i started out with a personal list of some 400+ songs that i well and truly love, any of which could have easily made it on my ballot. yet, still, i found i had no problem whatsoever in whittling it down to 106 or so from there. my criterion for inclusion in the top 100 was simple: "has X track meant something more to me beyond it being, you know, just another great/important song?" if so, in it went. if not, tuff shit. only problem i encountered was in shaving off the excess six tracks really. kinda like excising bits and pieces of my soul there, tbh. but so what? i mean, hell, what did my soul ever do for me anyway?
oh, and ordering the damn thing after deciding on a final 100 or so was a bitch, tru. but, eh, i survived.

@People who can't face cutting from 400 down to 100: maybe it would be easier to cut 400 down to ~50 and just pick the tracks that are indisputably better than everything else for you? A couple of people have submitted half-size ballots.

Almost there. Pretty sure I'm not going to order my ballot, it's difficult enough to work out which tracks should go in it.

― wheezy f baby (a hoy hoy), Friday, 26 November 2010 16:35 (fifteen years ago)
It is done. Got it to exactly 100 and submitted straight away. No regrets. (Actually, no 'Je Ne Regret Rien' either.)
One of my criteria was to make a list that I'd really like to play to people, so that included prioritising a couple of 'important' songs (though only ones that I think are important AND great) and trying to make sure I represented a reasonable range of styles. Not sure how much I succeeded in getting a proper range, but I feel pretty satisfied with what I ended up with. Although I'm probably going to kick myself for some exclusions.

Thanks korn!
― Lightning Is For Babies (Johnny Fever), Friday, 26 November 2010 18:20 (fifteen years ago)
I think choosing a priority ballot made it easier for me to narrow the choices down to 100, as I simply just cut everything after 100.

Got my longlist. Watching Strangers on a Train before I continue.
― Gukbe, Friday, 26 November 2010 18:58 (fifteen years ago)
I kind of have an issue with trying to make sure "important" choices are represented because to me it just seems like a subconscious way of perpetuating existing the canon. I wonder what would be wrong with a list in which people simply chose their own favourite tracks, period, completely disregarding things like historical importance and range of styles. Like, this things should take care of themselves when it's all averaged out, right? I feel this is the reason so many lists end up looking like boring textbooks. True, complete indulgence could produce some heavily skewed results that end up reflecting more about the music that is relevant today (for ILM in this case). But I think that's somehow inevitable anyway so why not embrace it?

...not that I wasn't guilty of this to a certain degree myself.
― daavid, Friday, 26 November 2010 19:06 (fifteen years ago)
My mindset has slightly evolved re: this issue over the course of voting. While I will still cringe seeing some things get overlooked in the countdown (as I'm sure other people will as well, though maybe not the same things), I'm comfortable with whatever kind of list we get. It's a reflection of this one little collection of tastes in one corner of the world (ILM) and should be embraced.
― Lightning Is For Babies (Johnny Fever), Friday, 26 November 2010 19:08 (fifteen years ago)
Well, range of styles was more because I hate making playlists which are all the same - I get bored. If I'm trying to compile something that I'd be happy to bombard my friends with enthusiasm about it'd rarely be a single stylistic venture. That's how I grew up making mixtapes, it's how I'll always remain. I actually didn't make it into a playlist proper but kept all tracks in alphabetical order, as I like the strange patterns that can be imposed by that. But then I'd look at it critically as in 'hmm, should I really be making a list with these three songs together?' and maybe cut something.
But yeah, judging by 'importance' is difficult. I would say I only really went for two tracks by that criterion, and they were ones that were on the borderline of making it in, fighting with a couple of other tracks for inclusion. 'Importance' won out because they're things that I like in my version of the canon. I guess it's similar to what I was saying in the nomination thread about wanting to vote for things like 'Gloomy Sunday'; they ARE canon, but they're hella good canon, and if we can use them to crowbar out shitty canon like the Beatles, then all for the better.
xposts to daavid
― emil.y, Friday, 26 November 2010 19:10 (fifteen years ago)
In the end I think it comes down to what "important" means, which to me it should be more "what people like"/"are moved by", as opposed to "what influenced X or Y".

There are a lot of musical tastes represented on this site so I am sure if everyone votes according to their taste, the finished list will still contain a huge variety of styles and genres, and probably contain most of the "important" tracks as well. Although with a typical ILM twist, naturally.

Still no clear idea about how this will finish...There are 50 tracks within one unweighted vote of making the top 125, and 100 tracks within one first place vote.

I saved myself a fair degree of intensive deliberation by limiting myself, from the outset, to one song per artist. Doing so was its own interesting challenge b/c u are left in each case trying to weigh your personal preferences with which song choice would be the most appropriate 'representative'- moreso in a general thematic sense than an attempt to predict ilxor consensis. I still ended up w/ a clusterfuck in the end, tho, & had to axe 50+ songs, all of which I LOVE DEARLY. Yeah, this was a v tough exercise, but that will make it all the more interesting to watch the results roll in.

I had two tracks from a couple of artists. Generally down to me trying to whittle them down and just being plain unable and justified as different representations of the same band.
I deliberated on which Smiths track for ages and then scrapped them altogether. I think it worked out.

I have a bad feeling that the results of this poll will feel somewhat like the results of a pitchfork poll.

still think you should reveal 150-101 the first day

I can do that, but I don't want anyone complaining about fast I'm posting them. If I wait 15 or 20 mins between them (as is usual), I'll be on here all damn day.

I'd prefer if it was a top 100 list.
― daavid, Sunday, 28 November 2010 06:35 (fifteen years ago)
wouldn't revealing 150-101 on the first day (before the top 100) spoil the fun a bit?
― gospodin simmel, Sunday, 28 November 2010 13:43 (fifteen years ago)
Well, revealing 100-51 kind of spoils the top 50 a bit. JF said from the beginning he was going to break with boring ILM convention and do a top 125. Not sure about 150 though.

Counting up from 1-1,600 would solve all of these issues
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 28 November 2010 14:19 (fifteen years ago)
^ Yes. Do 1-1,000 on Monday, 1,000-1,500 on Tuesday, and then the remainder can have one day each until March.

How about a thread of just the ones that got no votes?

top 100 in completely random order
22, 63, 5, 48, 19, 84...

JF said from the beginning he was going to break with boring ILM convention and do a top 125.
Yeah, I was never really going to NOT do a top 125. I was just playing along. imo, 125-102 are some of the most interesting results in the entire poll.

that's a damning slight on whatever's #101
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 28 November 2010 22:07 (fifteen years ago)
101 = Johnny Hates Jazz 'Shattered Dreams'
― Porpoises Rescue Dick Van Dyke (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Sunday, 28 November 2010 22:11 (fifteen years ago)
Not really, because there is no 101 (99 is a three-way tie).

You mean, the ones who nominated their favourite tracs and forgot to vote in the actual poll? :)
