Voted. Thanks!

Hahaha no one nominated 'Survivor' either.

This'll be a suitably spiritual successor to the original 2000-2004 poll as a result of all the omissions (although there were rather more brutal nomination restrictions with that first poll). Hope there's at least over 60 ballots.

Compelled to send an edited tracks ballot sorry

I ended up voting with my heart on the albums list and heavily tactically on the tracks ballot. Impossible to pick my genuine ten favourite songs from an entire decade so I ended up piling the top 10 with records I both loved and passionately felt should be represented.

lol, Blueberry Boat was the first thing nominated in the entire poll

these did get a few votes (three so far) - those votes will be zapped (not the whole ballot, just those tracks); in a ranked ballot the tracks below will be moved up one position

Didn't quite manage to fill the ballot as I've been attempting to finagle my way into the Après Ski scene and I didn't want to take my chances with a fat ballot I might have to explain on the fly. Nevertheless, I voted.

Voted twice today. One for parliamentary elections, one for ILX.My nominations were late and I had to let go of some top favorites, so I really can't complain about the selection. But it's rather poor to be honest :PBig thanks to the organizers for the idea.
― Nabozo, Saturday, 12 October 2019 18:06 (four years ago) link
Man, making a ballot is hard! I thought everything I liked would be nominated by someone else, but I forgot I'm the only Dane on here, one of few Scandinavs. I think I'm missing, like, ten albums I'd want to put on there, and that makes it all really hard.

How am I supposed to make a ballot without Håkan Hellström or Kaizers Orchestra or Bjørn Svin or Under Byen or Tiger Tunes or...

Voted
― Frederik B, Saturday, 12 October 2019 19:11 (four years ago) link
done, at least i got my act together to make top 5 mixed ballots. very curious about the overall results. thanks a lot for making this possible imago and seandalai.

Going to shut this down in about half an hour - unless there's someone out there furiously working through the nominations after three weeks of procrastination?

OK, I've submitted
let me know if yr magic can't parse my ballot, I took the lines from the txt version but trimmed the trailing spaces, hoping that works out the same as the Google sheets version in the end...
oh and thanks very much!

I am resigned to certain inevitable outcomes. But at least I got some folk to listen to Frightened Rabbit oh wait you never even did that didye? oh well, MCLUSKY DO DALLAS FTW my band in this decade was named BATFiNK! my wee brother played bass and insisted on that notation. My band circa like 2008ish-2016 was called The Ragdoll Physicists, better name but not as good as BATFiNK! point is I forget why this is the point but my current band is called I'VE GOT A KNIFE and yeah I'm drunk but I've got a lot to be drunk about
― Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Sunday, 13 October 2019 00:10 (four years ago) link
had completely forgotten about EP when doing all my 00s listening (it seems like its weird status means it gets relatively overlooked compared to the first two fiery furnaces albums?) but im listening to it for the first time now and its by far my favourite fiery furnaces release already. all the things i liked from blueberry boat without the annoying bits

my phone has lost the power to use the internet, so it'll be 'while I'm at home' basically, which, tomorrow, means 'UK afternoon, and very late evening' - might post 10 either side of the jump. will def try to get it going tomorrow
― imago, Sunday, 13 October 2019 12:43 (four years ago) link
do we still want remix votes as part of the numbers for songs? i'm a bit torn because remixes are functionally completely different listening experiences...on the other hand, people might have still voted for the originals. what do we think. NOT THAT THIS CHANGES TOO MUCH *taps nose*
― imago, Sunday, 13 October 2019 12:45 (four years ago) link
Add them together I say, voted for some remixes where I could have just as easily voted for the original (heartbeats, forever more). Seems unfair to punish a track for having another excellent version of itself
― or something, Sunday, 13 October 2019 13:55 (four years ago) link
i think the only version of “forever more” nominated was the remix. regardless i have no opinion about this, both approaches have their merits
― american bradass (BradNelson), Sunday, 13 October 2019 13:56 (four years ago) link
one might argue that when a track is remixed, it is no longer itself. also a 'divorced' approach celebrates remixes as discrete entities, of which several are in the top 100 under their own steam! i've asked seandalai to send the version of the rundown with remixes separated and i'll make a decision based on what you all say here + my gut instinct...
― imago, Sunday, 13 October 2019 13:59 (four years ago) link
no to combining remixes
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 13 October 2019 14:19 (four years ago) link
Remixes separate imo
― nashwan, Sunday, 13 October 2019 14:22 (four years ago) link
why wouldn't we combine remixes? we do during the EOY polls, and it gives a disadvantage to tracks that have a popular remix or more than one remix.
― flopsy bird (voodoo chili), Sunday, 13 October 2019 14:25 (four years ago) link
it doesn't sit entirely right with me
fyi the only changes would be cosmetic, except for one unlucky song lol, but do we not love drama here?
plead on, all sides
― imago, Sunday, 13 October 2019 14:28 (four years ago) link
were that many remixes even in there? keep them separate imo
― gyac, Sunday, 13 October 2019 14:30 (four years ago) link
you cannot perform the same track twice but remixing is not the same as sampling, keeping the title is a choice to maintain the link the original, & it's ilx convention
― ogmor, Sunday, 13 October 2019 14:43 (four years ago) link
Would you do the same with covers?
