20 nominations so far... Probably won't nominate any tracks.

Looking at the nominations list so far, and the critics poll thread... man, what a supremely "meh" year in music 2014 was. 2013 seemed ludicrously and prolifically opulent at the time, upon only one year's worth of reflection, it truly was.

I'm sure someone else will sooner or later, but my favourite songs from the Wussy album:

Wussy - Teenage Wasteland
Wussy - Halloween
Wussy - Home
Wussy - Beautiful

Young Thug - Stoner
Gucci Mane & Young Thug - Stoner 2 Times

Was going to nom the latter but thought it might cause confusion and get subsumed into the former.

D'angelo and the Vanguard - Black Messiah

lol rev

I guess it should be on the list

it will probably win

Idk p much everything I've heard from the metal poll has been awesome, if not exactly high profile

(xp to octobeard)

TRACKS

Taylor Swift - New Romantics
Taylor Swift - You Are In Love
Perfume Genius - Queen
Hercules & Love Affair ft. John Grant - I Try To Talk To You

@ octobeard: I already nominated iamamiwhoami - Blue, so you're only 19/30.

TRACKS

Major Lazer feat. Pharrell - Aerosol Can

(25/30)

The Pop Group - Cabinet Of Curiosities (6 previously-unreleased tracks, 2 alternate mixes, 1 remastered A-side)

17/30

People are getting sloppy about labeling things albums or tracks.

YEAH SLEEVE

Yours was kind of easy to tell with its description, but Alfred just dropped that Robert Plant album in a post all by itself and I nearly missed it.

Rival Dealer made last year's list, didn't it?

also Popcaan - The System was released as a single in 2012

Bah. Year of impact (on me) rule?

Speaking of Year of Impact, would Lewis' L'amour count? I can see the case being made for "Romantic Times", but I'm not entirely sure about "L'amour" since it was making the rounds on some blogs a few years ago before being reissued this year Light in the Attic.
