NOUGHT BUT THE TRUTH: 2000-2009 albums & tracks VOTING (and campaigning) thread DEADLINE OCTOBER 11

one complaint i have is that my favorite ashanti song wasn't nominated ("rock wit you (awww baby)")

gonna vote for "only you" instead

Queued up what I feel most likely to vote for. Know my number one but the rest...ballot is going to be a total shitshow lol

gimme the weekend lj

how close are you to having the ballots done?

later this evening, NYC time

it's quite funny how all the questions you're asking can be answered the same way: "yes, it's fine, but seandalai will say if otherwise"

I assume this was also a response to my question. I'll resubmit my ballot shortly, then.

i know chris brown sucks but it still bummed me out that "no air" wasn't nominated

how close are you to having the ballots done?

idk songs is still a mess. i could prob have something done but it would be incredibly late tonight

it won't be closed until late morning anyway!

I've barely dipped into this thread, but the Lord has heard your cries, and he will respond.

i could make a list of just r&b, both tracks and albums

The Fish Brothers And Eastend ‎– We All Shout The Millwall Song is missing

Re-voted. Apologies for the hassle, LJ & seandalai.

thanks for this poll already bc it reminded me of what an incredible song lloyd's "get it shawty" is

and Jazmine Sullivan's "Bust Your Windows." God.

and please vote for Ne-Yo's "So Sick" or "Because of You" kthx

so many of these songs are my favorite song of all time. def voting for "because of you"

Submitted a tracks ballot.

"Gimme The Weekend, LJ" is an underrated slow-burn R&B classic

lol

“Knuck If You Buck” is so beautiful it makes me cry

Voted -- 30 albums, 50 tracks

Lj I have 95% sorted out my ballot but left it on my laptop at work, can I still send it to you tomorrow morning?

You can submit it to the ballot page linked at the top of this threaf! I'll ask seandalai to wait until late morning...

*thread

Submitted! This was way easier than originally anticipated, and highly nostalgic. Not nearly enough quality tracks nominated, but there were so many already present it was easier to cobble together a list. My top 10 albums could all be #1. Would be cool if I could do a reverse mixed ballot where the top 10 were unweighted (tied for 1st) and the rest were weighted.

i have voted for the meadowlands

sorry if i missed this but how many albums and tracks will be in the rollout, top 100, 77, etc?

the thought is 100

can't we have an extension to sunday morning? i have got the albums ready but the tracks i haven't started yet. in one of your previous posts you said sunday, imago. otherwise i can't do tracks.

voted, with the most hastily assembled ballots of my life. I will be deeply unhappy with them in, five, four, three...

i said sunday mistakenly then corrected myself a few seconds later

hmph

gonna vote for "only you" instead

if this had been the reggaeton mix it would have been high on my ballot.

ALSO, my instinct is to do albums first, then tracks second. anyone with any enormous objections?

Voted!

That was tough, could have easily done another ballot I'd be happy with with an entirely different set of nominations.

I haven't forgotten how Tim F introduced me to the Aeroplane ft. Kathy Diamond remix of "Whispers."

David Guetta ft. Kelly Rowland - When Love Takes Over

can i just say that i love that this was nominated

everyone still has nearly a week anyway!

I don't generally like to nominate tracks because I don't have a good sense of what were actual singles, so I just would pick my favorite songs off the albums I nominate, but putting my tracks list together made me wish I had offered up some nominations because there were definitely some key tracks that should have been on there.

voted, both ballots mixed

The requisite singing along of compiling a ballot is what really takes it out of you.

I prefer albums* myself so would enjoy that rolling out first so no complaints from me.

* I never did get round to doing the lifetime of ilm metal tracks poll (did the albums one in 2016) so after this polls all done & dusted I might be able to run the heavy Rock,Noise & Metal tracks poll I promised 3 years ago get it over and done with before the EOY polls in January.

I vote tracks first. There's a likelihood of weirder variety, and listening along makes thread engagement fun and immediate, rather than just thinking your memories of an album. This spurs excitement that can carry on into and energise the albums rollout.

well, let's see which top 100 is weirder first!

lol my eyes glazed right over “whispers”.

imago would it be a major hassle for me to submit a modified ballot?

I left the house today and bought clear liquor with a genuine intention to do a tracks ballot, but i opened the doc and fuck you for this oppressively hard task, nah I'm closing this and walking away, also I looked at the albums ballot I submitted the other night and this is bafflingly wrong, I'll stand by it due to some In Vino Veritas bullshit but I'm apologising right now for not even noticing The Meadowlands on the list, what is on there is all in the wrong order, I've picked the wrong albums for the one-album-per-artist self-imposed nonsense, che vergogna. It's all good stuff though, nah fuckit this is my truth. Tracks would have been well different, just cos of different mode of consumption, but I'm not up to it and I'm ultimately responsible for the life choices that led me to this place

I miss people and cats from this period and some of these songs are Proustianly unhelpful
