I guess I missed the deadline; that's fine, I really just wanted to vote for "Battery Brides" because it's a fun OMD prototype.

If its any consolation Alfred my wife's favorite is also Wasp Star, altho yeah this is a fairly unusual opinion.
I consider Skylarking their perfect record. Apple Venus is close.

I also consider skylarking their perfect record, but it's my 3rd favorite

Euler if you send me yr ballot before tomorrow morning I will count it

I wanted to try and represent every record but in the end I had to cut my favorites from White Music and Go2 because I couldn't justify keeping them over my 4th or 5th faves from some of the later albums.

^and you had to limit the size of your ballot why?
― hardcore dilettante, Sunday, 12 October 2014 20:37 (nine years ago) link
Guess I didn't have to but 40 was hard enough for me...
― ColinO, Sunday, 12 October 2014 23:02 (nine years ago) link
OK! 33 ballots in, votes have been tabulated, just have to get the images together and then we will roll out the results
― Οὖτις, Monday, 13 October 2014 15:43 (nine years ago) link
232(!) songs received votes
― Οὖτις, Monday, 13 October 2014 15:45 (nine years ago) link
I take that back, 196 songs received votes (stupid text formatting)
― Οὖτις, Monday, 13 October 2014 15:59 (nine years ago) link
what with the absence of a limit on how many songs you could vote for I was trying to work out how many songs were eligible, I gave up, but it's a lot:
http://chalkhills.org/reelbyreal/i_song.html
slightly disappointed there wasn't at least one indomitable voter who ranked every song on that list
― soref, Monday, 13 October 2014 16:07 (nine years ago) link
there were a couple 100 entry ballots, most hovered around the 20-40 range
― Οὖτις, Monday, 13 October 2014 16:16 (nine years ago) link
Didn't vote because my favorites are all the obvious songs, but looking forward to the rollout

I was tempted to do a 50 track + monsterballot, but I found it too hard so I decided to just pick 20 songs I liked and not make any attempt to be comprehensive, aside from the top 3 or 4 there's probably another 16 songs I could have substituted and been equally happy/unhappy with
― soref, Monday, 13 October 2014 16:48 (nine years ago) link
I cut my ballot off at 100 songs because I was under the gun. Had about 115-120 songs on the list. Ranked them from 0-5 stars while listening on iTunes. Then was ranking from within the star ratings on the fly as I typed up the ballot.
― hardcore dilettante, Monday, 13 October 2014 18:23 (nine years ago) link
Damn forgot to vote in this. Looking forward to the rollout. My ballot would have been boring and had Nigel at number one anyway.
― voodoo chili, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 04:20 (nine years ago) link
My ballot would have been the Dukes tracks, with some singles and various Go2/plus/"Take-away" tracks.
