THE 2010 ILM SUPER-MEGA YEAR-END ALBUMS 'N' TRACKS POLL™ is open for nominations thru January 2, 2011 @ midnight EST

With musically's blessing, J0rdan S. and I will be handling the operation of this year's much anticipated year-end poll on ILM. Since seandalai's magical ballot tabulating machine proved so very valuable in the recent 20th Century poll, he too will be involved in that very capacity. More on the voting when the nominations period is complete, though.

Before midnight EST on January 2, 2011, you good people are charged with the following task(s):

* Nominate up to 20 albums and/or tracks in any configuration you choose. (20 albums, 0 tracks. OR 14 albums, 6 tracks. OR 3 albums, 17 tracks. OR...you get the idea, we hope)

* Make certain that these were albums and/or tracks released for the first time somewhere in the world during the year 2010. This would mostly apply to albums and/or tracks released in some region in 2009, but released to a broader audience in 2010. Let's not go back any further than 2008, however. ALSO, you may not nominate an album or a track from an album that has leaked ahead of its 2011 release date. IF a track from an upcoming 2011 album has already been commercially or officially released as a single, however, it DOES qualify.

* Please format your nominations like this:

ALBUMS

Artist - Album
Artist - Album

TRACKS

Artist - Song
Artist - Song

This makes keeping track of nominations SO MUCH EASIER for us.

* Consider mining these threads for ideas and/or refreshers. Also, contribute suggestions in those threads as well. That benefits everyone:

So, it's 11 days into 2010; what records are worth worth buying / hearing / downloading?
So, it's 338 days into 2010; what songs are worth buying / hearing / downloading?

Now, the nominations thread is officially opened!

If something came out as a single a year or so ago, but it came out on an album this year, is that acceptable to nominate?

Sounds fair to me, as long as it didn't place in last year's results.

Okay. I'm thinking of things I never heard last year, never nominated, and that will almost certainly never place in the poll anyway.

That's the right attitude!

Never stops me at any rate.

Do DJ mixtapes count? Sorry to be so edgy all the sudden, but I'm taken with this tribal guarachero stuff and the only long playing format is going to be on mixtapes, I think. (And yes, as far as I can tell, 2010 is part of those Arabic album titles. They do that a lot.)

That's seventeen; I'm holding three nominations in reserve.

Worst:
Superpitcher - Kilimanjaro

u crazy, this is an incredible album

xp, yeah "Rude Boy" was def a 2010 single.

TRACK

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Round and Round

I wasnt aware White Denim had a new album out. Excellent.

I'm just going to say, as I say every time, that I think the "20 albums and/or tracks" instead of a set number of noms for each category is really stupid and adds a pointlessly annoying level of strategy and maneuvering to the nominations process, and I strongly urge you to abandon it the next time you do one of these polls. Thanks.

also letting us know how many albums/singles we'll be able to put on our ballots when we vote would help with choosing what to nominate. thanks again.

It was a freebie download on their website Michael.

Shamed realisation: off the top of my head I'm not sure I could name a single thing released this year. So I'm out.

In my defence it's been a retro year for me and I've had enormous amounts going on personally, but still. Makes the countdown a massive treat though, I'm comfortable with how I am. Looking forward to it.

There are definitely a few canonical choices in '90s electronic/dance, though. I mean, if 18 year-old rock dude version of me bought the Utah Saints album in 1992, it must've had a sizeable impact outside of the club scene.

What? How did I end up back in this thread...oops

Trapped by your own poll and unable to escape.

I have a copy of this and it's dated 2010. If the powers that be want to remove it from the list, I'm okay with it.

ALBUMS

conforce - machine conspiracy
deepchord presents echospace (or w/e they call themselves) - liumin
bvdub - the art of dying alone
black dog - music for real airports
majeure - timespan
regina - puutarhatrilogia
the parting gifts - strychnine dandelions
fluxion - perfused
memoryhouse - the years

Just Echospace according to discogs and RYM, and a fine album which just missed my list.

Did Puutarhatrilogia get a 2010 release? Not up with Oi miten suuria voimia! among my quirky favorites from ever quirky Finland.....

I stand corrected re: Sun City Girls album, and a physical copy that says 2010 seems legit to me. weird release though.

like last year when there was no Blueprint 3 nom.

just curious: did anyone nominate Eminem - Relapse last year?

hey Lamp, is this nomination of yours for Wild Nothing - Summer Holiday (off the album Gemini) or should I nominate that separately?

yah i meant wild nothing was thinking of album titles i guess smh in shame

bvdub - the art of dying alone

feel like this isnt as strong as 'we were the sun' but its p rad that you nomm'd it

o n/m i guess 'we were the sun' is a late 09 release

ilxor: no

2011 meme

fuck it

ALBUMS:

Curren$y - Smokee Robinson

19/20 trying to figure out what my last one should be

Stromae - "Alors On Danse" didn't seem to have much staying power (it won the Summer anthem 2010). Its my favorite discovery of 2011 after encountering the curiously potent mashup

SHIT no - replace Roach Gigz with

Diamond - Lotta Money

please and thx!

To the rescue:

TRACKS

Roach Gigz - Pop Off
Lee Brice - Picture Of Me
Flynnville Train - Sandman
Martina McBride - Wrong Baby Wrong Baby Wrong
Laura Bell Bundy - Giddy On Up
Kenny Chesney - Somewhere With You
Trace Adkins - Ala-Freakin-Bama
Sarah Darling - Whenever It Rains
Stealing Angels - He Better Be Dead
Sarah Darling - With Or Without You
Kenny Chesney - Ain't Back Yet
Miranda Lambert - Only Prettier
Jerrod Niemann - Lover, Lover
Martin Ramey - Twisted
Jake Owen - Tell Me
Jaron And The Long Road To Love - Pray For You
Randy Montana - Ain't Much Left Of Lovin' You
Eric Church - Smoke A Little Smoke
Luke Bryan - Someone Else Calling You Baby
Blake Wise - I've Got This Feeling

FK votes in ilx poll? tis a new year indeed.

xps

above: rolling goon krew regulars being jerks to non-rgk dude as usual. tis the same olde shit after all.

(where's Whiney?)

iirc there is also a band from 2010 called Sleigh Bells, with a track called "Infinity Guitars" -- can't believe they haven't sued these guys yet

lmaoooooooooo

Hey, Mordy I would have put 'Love The Way You Lie' on the ballot if you hadn't. Here's some more pop that will probably annoy somebody.

TRACKS
Goldfrapp - Rocket (original)
Jason DeRulo - Ridin' Solo'
Eliza Doolittle- Skinny Genes
Eliza Doolittle - Pack Up
Gabriella Cilmi - On A Mission
Diana Vickers - Once
Robin Thicke ft. Nicki Minaj - 'Shakin' It For Daddy'

17/20

^(apologies for the stray quote marks I failed to delete in previous post)

My last three noms:

TRACK
Sub Focus - Rock It

ALBUMS
Yakuza Heart Attack - II
Eliza Dolittle - Eliza Dolittle

*Doolittle* aargh

Albums just updated: 708 noms now (dang!)

planned to work on this properly today, but it's really too much like work

FK votes in ilx poll? tis a new year indeed.

Wishing all the old years were new (or something).

Re: Sun City Girls,
it's an albums of new recordings they've been playing for a while, plus new new stuff.

I just want to clarify that these are not new recordings but tracks off previous releases. Nothing on this release is "new". They either come from previous lps/cd/7" records

I would vote for that but I don't think it's eligible if other reissues aren't... Johnny Fever or JS to thread.

Thanks for letting me know that exists though!

For those wondering:

1. Radio Morocco - recorded 1985 - Grotto of Miracles LP
2. Sev Acher - recorded 1988 - You're Never Alone With A Cigarette CD
3. Helwa Shak - recorded 1983 - Sun City Girls LP
4. Kal el Lazi Kad Ham - recorded 1985 - Grotto of Miracles LP
5. Nights of Malta - recorded 1992 - Con Artist LP
6. Esoterica of Abyssynia - recorded 1988 Torch Of The Mystics LP
7. Space Prophet Dogon - recorded 1988 Torch Of The Mystics LP
8. Theme from “Wild World of Animals” - recorded 1990 - You're Never Alone With A Cigarette CD
9. Cruel and Thin - recorded 1994 - 330,003 Crossdressers 2CD
10. Gum Arabic - recorded 1985 - Eye Mohini 7"
11. Lies Up the Niger recorded 1994 - 330,003 Crossdressers 2CD

Sorry to derail there, carry on.

Johnny Fever can you please delete this from the spreedsheet?

Here's the thing (as I see it) on compilations:

A compilation of previously recorded material is kind of a new creation in its own way, whether it be by a single artist or by a variety of artists (though it's preferable on single artist comps to have SOME amount of new material). It's an album that's never been released before, even if it may contain previously released material.

Here's the thing (as I see it) on reissues:

When a full album that was previously released gets reissued intact or even in its original form with a few bonuses, that's not a NEW creation. It's nice to have, but it was also probably nice to have in whatever its original year of release was.

hmmm seems like the SCG would qualify, like that Minimal Wave Tapes that I think someone nommed

OK then, with that caveat I will nominate 2 more albums

Current 93 - Unreleased Rarities, Out-takes, Rehearsals And Live 82-95
Portion Control - Progress Report 1980-83

Current 93 is self explanatory, and the Portion Control has a ton of previously unreleased stuff on it.

11 hours left to nominate, btw!

TRACK

Kayo Dot - Stained Glass

dunno if I might want to change one of my noms later but there's a definite chance

I just want to clarify that these are not new recordings but tracks off previous releases. Nothing on this release is "new". They either come from previous lps/cd/7" records

He/they were much more awesome on Jimmy Fallon last night than I'd expected (though, tbh, I didn't know at all what I was expecting).

xp u mad, doggie?

no i like the album a lot too -- just saying

I see the ILM top 77 tracks results thread, but was there an album's results thread made? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Coming on Monday, I think.

Ah, cool. Thanks!
