Ballot: http://goo.gl/forms/NslNEoxWlZUCjn7Q2
The procedure is simple: enter your tracks and album ballots (up to 25 items on each), one item per line, in the appropriate fields below. Please copy each line directly from the nominations lists; do not number your ballot. You can choose one of three ballot types, which determine how points are allocated to each item you vote for:
(1) Weighted: The first item on your ballot receives 50 points, the second receives 48 points, and so on, until the 25th item receives 2 points.
(2) Unweighted: Each item on your ballot receives 26 points.
(3) Mixed: To submit a mixed ballot, you must divide your ballot in two with an extra blank line. The upper portion of the ballot will be treated as weighted, with the first item receiving 50 points, and so on. The lower portion will be treated as unweighted, in that all items will receive the same number of points. The score allocated to items in the unweighted portion is calculated as 26 minus the number of items in the weighted portion (this is so that any weighted, unweighted or mixed ballot consisting of 25 items will allocate a total of exactly 650 points).

wanna take this opportunity to rep for the Sarah Louise album linked above, it's not on Spotify but u can stream it all on Bandcamp and it is one of my favorite solo guitar records of the year, and exceptionally strong and distinctive and fully formed for what I think is a debut

Just some quick metrics on wrapping up this king hell OCD project:
Spotify singles playlist is 1206 songs and 90 1/2 hours long; YouTube singles playlist is 103 songs; 21 loose singles available elsewhere.
Spotify album playlist is 9863 songs and 741+ hours long; YouTube album playlist is 474 songs; another 98 or so albums available elsewhere.
It's a brave new world.

And yes, we should use this thread for recommendation, stanning and general conversation!
Can this also be the thread where I admit that I forgot to nominate some of my favourite albums? I'm gutted that I had lots of nominations left and still forgot to nominate Corrine Bailey Rae. Same goes for the All Saints album.

Wait why is Wet - You're the Best and The Internet - Girl in the noms? These are mid 2015 and I loved them but I think I voted for that last year.
― dance cum rituals (Moka), Wednesday, 4 January 2017 06:25 (seven years ago) link
Also I thought I saw The Avalanches - I wish I was a folkstar in the noms and apparently it's not there... a shame I would have nommed it completely oversaw that one... best song in the album imho. Will have to pick another one.

I think this might be the third (fourth?) year in a row I see Shura - Touch on the noms. We keep trying to make it happen and it never gets anywhere... I think I put it in my top 3 last year... going for What's It Gonna Be? this year... maybe it does better.

The tracks list also includes Nao's "Bad Blood", which I nominated for the 2015 poll... But I think that's okay according to the rules, cos it didn't place then? And it was included on Nao's album, which came out in 2016.

Also, Aphex Twin's "Houston, TX 12.17.16" is still included in the albums list, even though it was determined in the nomination thread that it's a 12-inch single.

Unless I missed it, I didn't see any mention of the brilliant album by Cellars anywhere. The lead single, Nighttime Girl could well be my favourite song of the year. It's pure earworm and the harmonies on the wordless chorus are everything I love about pop music. https://youtu.be/yPCCioS75jY

The remix is nominated, I voted for that. But his album was great, really sorta jarring and captivating sound-design. Almost harsh and beautiful at the same time, ultra close-up.

Oops. Well, my tracks ballots here have not exactly been as well thought out as the album ballots. Blarggh Hope it places high
― octobeard, Saturday, 21 January 2017 05:48 (seven years ago) link
well, i've been pretty out of things here lately, so i'm glad i happened to look tonight and saw that the deadline was like right now and threw together a ballot. of course, i didn't participate in nominations, so i had to hunt through my top 40 tracks/albums to get enough to fill out the ballot, but i guess that just means i voted for some things other people voted for. glad i stopped by tonight, would've hated to break my streak of voting every year!

a little late because of a work crisis and a wine situation but I've submitted a ballot if it's not too late to consider

Sorry to be a humourless twat, but can someone please walk me through the Gaz Coombes joke? I've been vaguely puzzled at it for a year or so. Is it just "lolz indie music"?
― Camaraderie at Arms Length, Sunday, 22 January 2017 14:48 (seven years ago) link
"joke"?

No joke at all.
Noodle Vague was just a very big fan of Supergrass and he is the cousin of the singer - Gaz Coombes.
