Unlurking to thank the voters for turning me on to a lot of really enjoyable music in these results. (Much more so from the albums than tracks.)

Avi Buffalo
nice enough record, but not something i would have voted for

Voted for Ronika, as its arguably as good as any album from the 80's Nile Rodgers production/freestyle/Ze Records era, and there's nothing sacrosanct about any Pop graveyard. Pleased to see Kelis. DJ Q is a belated discovery.

one thing that i know was totally overlooked and is very good / more exciting than e.g. leon vynehall was shinichi atobe's butterfly effect. i should have voted in this.

Would be eager to meet this studio tech!
Yeah, maybe that's a bit of a silly comment. Typed out after a couple of beers!
I guess my feeling is that as the glitch aesthetics and post-digital has become convention, the kitsch sentimentalism that Endless Summer was first engaging with doesn't have such an obvious foil against all the signal processing. So the whole thing unfortunately comes across as a bit trite to my ears these days. That said, I'd be curious to return to 'plus forty seven degrees 56' 37" minus sixteen degrees 51' 08"' and 'Field Recordings' maybe.

xp 'butterfly effect' is pretty good, idk about exciting

Listening now to the one direction album and realising they're as good at this point as girls aloud were back in the day.

I was a bit disappointed by Butterfly Effect...expectations might have been a bit high but it didnt particularly grab me

the other singers in this countdown could take a lesson from their example
I'd never heard of One Direction before this poll, are they like a boy band? They look really young in those pics.

Really enjoying this Ronika album

dj q - great album albeit one i felt like i should have gone back to a lot more than i did? like, i enjoyed it in a low-key way but it never turned into an addiction. "notice me" and the epic "through the night" are highlights
DJ Q is like Funkystepz for me in that his tunes (instrumentals especially) are like mini-Autobot components of a whole and they just don't sound right on their own. Like nearly everything on the album is good and I think I voted for it but I keep thinking about how much more thrilling they'd be pitched up in the mix and all piled on top of one another. As someone who came up through records like the Brown album and Exit Planet Dust, I like dance albums to feel like DJ sets and the album didn't capture the rushiness of his own sets, when it quite easily could have done.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 12:39 (nine years ago) link
OTM. Q's tracks have a consistent vibe and are relatively short for dance tracks, so a mixed album (possibly with a separate-track vinyl release for DJs) would have been a lot more useful.
― UK Horseshit Cru (dog latin), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 12:47 (nine years ago) link
My highlight was 'Trust Again' FWIW
― UK Horseshit Cru (dog latin), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 12:49 (nine years ago) link
Yeah the thing that prevented me loving Ineffable more is that it wasn't clear to me why I was listening to discrete album tracks from the best DJ in the world. It's still a great album but can't compete with one of Q's better MoS or Nocturnal sets let alone seeing him spin live (best night ever still).
― Tim F, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 12:54 (nine years ago) link
Voted for Fennesz and Alvvays from yesterday's run, I liked the Katy B and Lee Ann Womack albums as well, the latter is completely out of my wheelhouse but yeah it definitely deserves to place.
― Gavin, Leeds, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 13:00 (nine years ago) link
Just saw that Avi Buffalo split - wonder if anyone but me threw a vote to At Best Cuckold. (The other worthwhile indie-pop record, which I forgot about for a bit just now.) Really hit the spot for jangly self-loathing.

I threw it a vote. Loved their debut album, the second one was really good too. No way it'll pop up here though.

just struck me that unless ariana grande places in the top 40 (which i think...possible but unlikely?), she'll get shut out completely. no track, no album, not even a guest spot
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 13:50 (nine years ago) link
Still getting over the fact that "Bang Bang" finished higher on the tracks poll than anything on her album.
― Tove Lo Tove You Baby (jaymc), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 13:53 (nine years ago) link
I'm beginning to think that nothing I voted for will actually place in the top 77. :( I guess Neheh Cherry or Mirel Wagner or Meshell Ndegeocello still might appear, though their chances feel a bit slim already.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 13:56 (nine years ago) link
Also, it was probably pointless to vote for two classical albums, because the only classical that has any chance of making it in these polls is indie-friendly crossover stuff like that Winged Victory album.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 14:00 (nine years ago) link
or Clean Bandit
;)
― Ban Kil Moon (imago), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 14:01 (nine years ago) link
I think Neneh Cherry has a good shot at making it!
― example (crüt), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 14:05 (nine years ago) link
really really hope mirel wagner does! i actually counted up everyone who loved it in her thread. it came to less than the total votes albums around this mark are getting though :///

the mk remix of "west coast" was a biiiiiig tune for me in 2014. i need to keep more up-to-date on house remixes of LDR if not her source material

sort of admire that she's retreated even further into her thing though

Had this in the bottom half of my list, big improvement on her first album.

i liked the original "West Coast" a lot, shocking more because it was the Black Keys guy than because it was LDR.
