!~!~!~!~!~BOOM BOOM ALBUMS N TRAX POLL 2009: NOMINATIONS due Dec 31~!~!~!~!~!

Same as last year...

-The noms in question had to have had a fairly significant release, re-release or peak in 2009.
-Album tracks on albums released in 2009 qualify UNLESS it is relatively obvious that they will be singles in 2010.
-Tracks on albums released in other years that were singles in 2009 qualify.
-Remixes of tracks must be nominated separately but the points will be merged. When voting you will only be able to vote for one "version" of a track.

You can nominate up to 15 albums AND/OR tracks. 15 tracks, 14 albums and 1 track, 3 tracks and 4 albums, 1 track, etc.

Due date: please get your noms in before the new year. If it's datestamped with 2009 I will take it.

Note: it would be of great help if you could format your nominations as

Tracks

Artist - Song

Albums

Artist - Albums

No quotes or extra punctuation, just a dash btw the artist and the work, and please try to keep to the artist-first order. I export everything to Excel so the more consistency, the better.

― lex pretend, Wednesday, 9 December 2009 00:46 (11 minutes ago)

you don't read the metal one? :(

lex LOVES metal.

15 albums and/or tracks. Wow. Um. This requires some strategy, neh? Time to think.

I think the year end polls are getting better, I remember the first one I did had something get into the top 50 with two votes.

I can still enjoy threads/articles on bands/genres i dont like if the contributions are good. Plenty of the polls on ilx arent all to my taste but the chat is great!

i hope musically wont mind if I promote this years metal nominations thread

Thanks, musically, really appreciate this!

was MPP in last years poll?

It was initially, but it was disqualified when musically noticed the malfeasance of trying to sneak it in.

xpost/
I'll voluntarily refrain from posting at ILM for two weeks if 51 people vote for the Joel Plaskett Emergency (triple) album!

I don't know if MPP was in last year's poll, but I make it a policy not vote for leaked-but-not-yet-released albums...

i do remember talk about it but i forgot if it was in it or not.

it was dq'd iirc

Tracks
Florence + the Machine - You Got the Love (Jamie xx Re-Work)
Yeasayer - Ambling Alp

Patrick Wolf - Hard Times
Fever Ray - When I Grow Up (D.Lissvik)

ALBUMS

Crazy Cousinz - This Is UK Funky House
K'naan - Troubadour
Olenka and the Autumn Lovers - s/t
Olenka and the Autumn Lovers - Papillonette EP
Patrick Wolf - The Bachelor
Shakira - She Wolf

Goes without saying that the above are all varying degrees of awesome, but if y'all track down either of Olenka's releases, they're a lovely pair of sort-of folk albums (one more Slavic, one country-tinged) that caught me totally off guard to become firmly entrenched in my listening habits this year.

Except according to wikipedia they both came out in November of 2008. Shit. The EP was released by a label in 2009 (tho) so I suppose that still counts.

oh wait just noticed that in rainbows will win a 05-09 and now dont care anymore

if there's an 05-09 poll i am semi-tactically going to give erykah high placement just fyi rev

if there's an 05-09 poll i am non-tactically going to give erykah her rightful no 1 spot

album

La Roux - s/t

tracks

Kelly clarkson - I Do Not Hook Up
St. Vincent - The Strangers
Chipmunk ft. Emeli Sande - Diamond Rings
Atlas Sound ft. Noah Lennox - Walkabout
yeah yeah yeah's - heads will roll

Six left, though I'm not sure I'll use them, so if somebody wants me to nominate a few things...

I do! I just posted it to the Youtube thread. It's really different to every other track nominated so far! Give it a whirl and see if you approve. Youtube Companion for the ILM Albums/Trax of 2009 Poll.

Also, most of the tracks on that St Vincent album deserve nomination tbh.

lol sorry about the title, there are only so many puns i can think of using poll though. i couldn't call this thread "poll-ker face" and look at myself in the mirror.

as long as it's datestamped for YOU in 2009 that's fine, i'm not exactly going to be sitting at this computer over the new year so whatever!

hope everyone had a good new year, here's to this new decade not being nearly as horrible as the last.

nominations are closed, here are mine

Albums

David Guetta - One Love

Tracks

David Guetta feat Akon - Sexy Bitch
Ne-Yo - Mad (was this 2008?)

I'll get the voting thread up soon, it's going to be all fancy and shit!

"mad" def peaked in 09...it's still an 08 "track" in my mind tho and i wont vote for it, though it would find a place on my list probably if i considered it eligible

oh, fuck me, sry musically, wrote "the crying game" when i meant "the crying light" (antony and the johnsons album), you prob caught this but just in case

and "pschic psummer" when it should be "psychic psummer," askldfjlksdfjlsdkf

awwww man i forgot to nom. Looking forward to voting though! Thanks as always musically.

...so when does voting start?

it will be up tomorrow, I was working overtime last week after coming back from vacation and haven't had any time at all. I'll have the list and voting page up very soon.

Can't wait. I'm still on a poll high!

i'm 100% burnt out by lists but am really looking fwd to this - last year's was lots of fun

Looking forward to this, but it fucking sucks when you've just heard a new favourite album in the last week or so and no-one has nommed it (A Sunny Day In Glasgow - Ashes Grammar).

^ i would also consider voting for this album btw

^ as would i.

please to be linking to new thread here?
I'm so bookmark dependent.

seconded

wish I could nominate motor's "death rave"; heard that at optimo recently, nearly took the roof off

is there a voting thread yet?

Not yet. musically sounds pretty busy. :(

i want to at least be able to post youtubes, looks like we can't even do that on the youtube thread now?

Did none of us nominate Vic Chesnutt's album or "Flirted with You All My Life"? Stone cold, ILM.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~FINALLY - 2009 ILX Albums 'n' Trax Poll voting thread ahoy~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (noms due Jan 22)

also, don't tell anyone but I added Agnes - Release Me and David Guetta feat. Estelle - One Love to the nom list because in my infinite retardation I forgot to finish my nominations.

noms due Jan 22?

goddamn it

time to start the annual rolling "please change this" thread in the mod request form.
