ILM Top 100 2005-2009: NOMINATIONS THREAD (Ends at midnight GMT on May 31st, 2010)

A little over five years ago, a very different ILM polled the first half of the last decade. Now this ILM is going to poll the second half. Those original polls can be found here: ILM Top 100 2000-2004: TRACKS and here: ILM Top 100 2000-2004: ALBUMS

The nominations and voting process will be a little different this time because a) we probably won't get anywhere near 200 participants and b) people just want to nominate more than one track and one album. Well, guess what... you can nominate 25 tracks and/or albums in any combination you please. If you never listen to albums and just want to nominate 25 tracks, go for it. And vice versa.

Please utilize the Ctrl+F tool in this thread. The less repetition in the nominations, the easier it is for J0rdan S. and I to compile master lists for voting later on.

Please signal which parts of your nominations are TRACKS and which are ALBUMS.

Please use this format when nominating: ARTIST - TRACK TITLE and/or ARTIST - ALBUM TITLE.

Please participate. Urge fellow ilxors to participate.

Please know that the nominations process ends at midnight GMT on Monday the 31st of May (that's 7pm EDT in the U.S.)

Now, get to work! The Snorg girl commands it:

"Please utilize the Ctrl+F tool in this thread"

what does the ctrl+f thing do? not sure what you want, as it seems to have no effect on my computer...

wait, is that the "find" function? so... if someone else has listed an album, we're not to list it again? (i wasn't around for the first of these, so i don't know how you go about doing this...)

ALBUMS

Basement Jaxx - The Singles
Richard Davis - Details
Deerhoof - The Runners Four

zingzing, yes, an album only has to be nominated once to be eligible to receive votes; so if you nominate something that's already been mentioned, you're just wasting one of your precious 25 nominations (and making it harder for Jordan and Johnny to ensure there are no duplicates in the master list)

^ yes, this.

I hope I don't Offend anybody if I take this Opportunity to note with some frustration that I accidentally left out two Deerhoof albums that I meant to nominate, although I'm not immediately sure what I'd delete in order to make room for them...

I'm sure someone else will take care of you on that front.

(clever hinting, though.)

Bassment Jaxx - The Singles

we should prob just say no greatest hits/reissues -- so paul in santa cruz if you want to nom one more thing, go ahead

lol Basement

just like, use your discretion & don't be an asshole -- obv the missy elliot singles compilation from 2006 would not count in this poll, but DFA/kompakt/other label compilations are okay (or, for instance, no age's 'weirdo rippers')

the Clientele - Strange Geometry
Low - Drum & Guns
Low - The Great Destroyer
the Go-Betweens - Oceans Apart

^ Albums, btw

yeah plz make sure to label your noms, jic i have no idea what a 'go-betweens' is

also i guess i'm cool with, like, 'it's a feedelity affair' & things like that being nominated, since tons of people first came across those lindstrom songs on that album -- something like basement jaxx singles collection is a bit different, but i guess i'll leave this one open to the floor jic ppl feel strongly either way

I'm cool will best of/greatest hits albums as long as at least some of the material therein was released in the 05-09 timeframe. I mean, if you're nominating a Cat Stevens compilation or something, you know and I know it has no place in this poll.

yeah that makes sense xp

whoops, i thought mordy nominated Folie A Deux

Fall Out Boy - Folie A Deux

alright, i'm clear on the nomination process.

what's the rest of the process? maybe this is clear to a lot of people, but, having only seen the results post for the 2000-04 poll, it's not to me. will there be another post? what will that post look like? who's deciding this thing?

sorry, i'm just in the dark...

once the nomination period is over, a new thread will be started for voting -- johnny & i will post the noms list or a link to the noms list & everyone will get to vote for x amount of albums & x amount of singles (this hasn't been decided yet -- probably 30 albums AND 30 tracks) -- once that period is over, johnny & i will tabulate the votes, and then a final thread will be started where we post the results & everyone can discuss

album

really wondering what his shot of placing 2 albums in the top 10 is

also wondering if lvm will actually finish above l/h

Depends on the voter body. If it's the same base who vote the year-end polls, it's totally possible. If it's broader, less so.

would feel weird if girls aloud were tied for most track noms cuz i've never heard one of their joints in my life

johnny you wanna start the voting thread tomorrow?

Tomorrow maybe, sometime this week certainly.

(I'm not in the mood to start counting votes yet, haha.)

xps: naw, it's with ye. GA (who I might have heard a song or two of via jukebox? idunno) are tied for 5th with swifty after bee and some animal collective bullshit

5 cassie songs is funny, 8 animal collective songs is depressing

Yeah, LOL at the Animal Collective presence in the tracks noms. You'd think they were a singles band or something.

(I'm not in the mood to start counting votes yet, haha.)

yeah that's fine. i'm gonna be driving cross country until at least saturday, so i won't be able to start counting votes until next week anyway

Uhm, why was only one of my album nominations counted in?

There are definitely a few pre-2005 albums that slipped in (godspeed you black emperor for one).

ah fuck, I had 8 more nominations that I missed putting in because I was traveling

A song occurred to me earlier and I went to this thread and J0rdan had closed nominations 30 seconds earlier and I am banned from ILX at college

thx for nominating some of my suggestions samosa!!

ilx dance crew is totally gone now :(

― hobbes, Tuesday, June 1, 2010 3:04 AM (11 hours ago) Bookmark

ikr? seriously lacking there...yet inexplicably the girls fucking aloud fans are still here and still care about them. and the lack of dancehall is so o_0

just eyerolling at animal collective's disproportionate presence.

celebrate the vote-splitting instead

dancehall presence here is way down from where it'd be for a '00-'04 or full decade poll the same way it's down everywhere outside jamaica tbh

oh shit i just realised no one nominated miranda lambert's "gunpowder & lead" :(

the TRACK NOM 'Goodnight Oslo' is by Robyn Hitchcock, not Robyn. Though I would love to hear her version...

speaking of..I did nominate Miranda Lambert - Revolution. and Oneida - Rated O and I didn't see either on the album list. Great list though. So many albums that i loved and had forgotten about.

Oneida - Rated O and I didn't see either on the album list

Yes, this needs to be on the list. I will vote for it.

Zombi - Spirit Animal, which apparently was nominated twice, appears to be missing too

At least it's there in spirit, though, isn't it?

thanks guys -- i got zombi in there now + oneida & miranda lambert -- also took out the godspeed

Uhm, why was only one of my album nominations counted in?

what were your other album noms? i'll put them in

There are definitely a few pre-2005 albums that slipped in (godspeed you black emperor for one).

― sofatruck, Tuesday, June 1, 2010 7:14 AM (5 hours ago) Bookmark

what other pre 05 albums did you see?

n/m lukk, i got them

Cool. Thanks a lot. Didn't mean to be a pain.

Oh fuck. I knew I was forgetting to do something. Well, I shan't forget to vote, at least.

xxp.. guess that was it... the others I saw must have been cut from the final list.

the list doesn't have my last minute changes but maybe that's intentional

I'm pretty sure I nominated t.i. "why you wanna"

Collecting nominations from a thread is hard. If we'd taken them by email, it would've been much easier. But a) no one would've known what anyone else was nominating and b) a lot of people wouldn't have even bothered. So bear with us while we rectify things we overlooked and while we check some things for 2005-2009 eligibility and whatever else may need to be done.

the tracks list could turn out really rad if all goes well and the indie deep cut contingent are predictably unorganized

TRACKS:

Noisia - The Tide
Ellen Allien & Apparat - Way Out
The Delays - Valentine
Digitalism - Zdarlight
Blonde Redhead - 23
Ladyhawke - My Delerium
Nneka - Heartbeat
Tracy Thorne - Get Around to It
Crystal Castles - Alice Practice
St. Vincent - Marrow
Zoot Woman - We Won't Break

which leaves 1 nomination in reserve.

None of these appear in the tracks list.

"way out" should definitely be put in given that it's a contender for Actual Best Track Of The Whole Decade.

They do now. :D

would prob vote for Valentine, maybe Marrow

thx J0rdan! don't suppose anyone except me will vote for them anyway...

one more cassie for the mix iirc

and since its not counted yet anyway, i meant broken ear record not repo is that okay?

like

Black Dice - Broken Ear Record

instead of

Black Dice - Repo

but i mean, if not

I'm adding your (amended) list right now, plax.

cool, thanks man, repo is not even that great

Hah, I almost asked you about nominating Repo instead of Broken Ear before I saw the posts below your reposted noms.

Just noticed you're missing

The National-Mr November
Of Montreal-Suffer for Fashion

in the tracks list.

Fixed.

I think we're going to start up the voting thread next Tuesday, and it will run roughly through the end of June. Then we'll be posting the results in July.

smh at us for collectively forgetting to nominate omarion's "touch" and then SEND IT V V HIGH on the trax chart
