I did not know there was a Floorplan album this year

it's decent too

the Fruit single and LP were released in 2016 and are some of the greatest things i heard all year

Noms for the not yet nommed.

Albums

The Early Years - II
Motorpsycho - Here Be Monsters
Clipping - Splendor & Misery
Bartosz Kruczynski - Baltic Beat
Karda Estra - Time & Stars

How do we get Tidal links included? I believe that there are alternative ways to listen to music, other than Spotify and YouTube, though ILM is sponsored by Spotify (and couldn't manage its statistical analysis without that connection).

lol tidal

Companies owned by black people are pretty laughable compared with companies owned by Swedish people, so yeah. It's fun opening Tidal and finding *absolutely nothing* that's highly ranked on ILM.

Cool guys, let's do this for the millionth time

Spotify is used by more people in more countries than Tidal, so it's the service of choice for this process. Vimeo is a superior platform to Youtube, but Youtube's use is so widespread (and it has a bigger catalog, so it's a no-brainer).

p sure dlp is the only cool guy who does this all the time

It's fun opening Tidal and finding *absolutely nothing* that's highly ranked on ILM.

I'm confused, isn't this another argument for why we should stick to using Spotify for these playlists?

Quite the reverse, actually.

Blackstar, the song, was on last year's poll at #10.

oh I forgot it was a single in 2015. I bet Lazarus was too. Sorry.

that Santigold track was also a single in 2015. Sorry about that.

you are SO 2015 frobisher

Lazarus might still count. Wasn't nominated last year. Single was released on December 20, but the video was released on January 7.

I'll let the poll runner make that determination.

so that's 9 (maybe 10) of my 30 so far. Will nom some albums later.

one last btw re: Tidal
https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/articles/201724441-How-do-I-import-playlists-to-TIDAL-
^ that took me like four seconds to find

Lazarus might still count. Wasn't nominated last year. Single was released on December 20, but the video was released on January 7.
