ILM's 2016 End of Year Albums & Tracks Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

the nominations period was three weeks long

I do my best to allow write-ins but it involves manually checking and adding to the nominations list and if you submit close to the voting deadline I may just skip them.

dwight yoakam - guitar cadillacs etc etc

btw this came out in 1986. His album this year was "Swimming Pools, Movie Stars"

fuck's sake i'm in prague, is this confirmed yet? i'm not taking part in a poll that rev has been excluded from but which will end up being lj's playground

this coming from the guy who gets approx. 4/5 of his ballot in both 77s every year

wow this is pretty early for the lex/lj dichotomy between which the soul of ilx is pushed and pulled

willing to bet lex and my ballots/tastes have never been more aligned tbh

brad is the great bridge of all the soulkeepers. he is the mastersoul.

anyway, the mods let me submit loads of nominations after the deadline using someone else's available nominations, so letting rev submit some more is something that i fully support

I am definitely pro-Rev being allowed to nominate.

However, if she's allowed to nominate, then can I please please please add:

Rattle - Rattle

(albums)

PLEEEEEEEEEEASE

also fully supported, not least as rattle were great live a couple of years ago and i'm curious to see how the album panned out

brad is the great bridge of all the soulkeepers. he is the mastersoul.

See. Told you, Brad.

ok ok if you nominate stuff before midnight or so UK time I'll add it

Yes! Thank you, you are so beautiful and wondrous and sparkling.

Is this open to anyone? If so..

Albums

Corinne Bailey Rae - The Heart Speaks In Whispers
All Saints - Red Flag

24/40

Thanks!

Thanks to seandalai, because I was prepared to be a hardass about this.

Sometime tomorrow, I'll harangue a mod to update the top of the thread.

it's a playground for everyone

Also, the more noms LJ gets the more split the vote for LJ-type-stuff gets. So it all evens out in the end. The reason why I'm precious about getting my noms in is I use the ilx poll as an actual barometer for what I liked in a year, and if there's stuff missing from the list I compile here it'll disappear from my memory. My brain is weird like that.

ALBUMS

Wędrowcy~Tułacze~Zbiegi - Światu jest wszystko jedno
MNDSGN - Body Wash
Street Sects - End Position
Katy B - Honey

...and I'm good

Album

Renaldo & The Loaf - Gurdy Hurding

Thanks!

Thanks again, seandalai
