aight emily i'll bite--what the hell is paavoharju
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:34 (fourteen years ago) link
paavoharju had like 8 albums in this poll tho so
― hoos gossage (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:34 (fourteen years ago) link
at least it felt that way
I guess it's time for yet another attempt at working out why people love The-Dream so much. Apart from that, Junior Boys and Electrik Red, the top 20 mirrors my own pretty closely.

Calling Erykah as winnar with 4 first-place votes. Can't see Portishead garnering the #1 marks to make it happen.

^ this is why i wz willing to call it...i know i gave it #1, and somedude did too, but then i saw john/via/chi do the whole '^^^^^^^^^^' thing & figured maybe he did too...

Should we post our ballots here or wait for another thread?

Everyone forgot about White Chalk then?
― Born too beguiled (DavidM), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:37 (fourteen years ago) link
I voted for White Chalk. Low. But I voted for it.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:38 (fourteen years ago) link
Paavoharju only have two albums! Though I imagine variant spellings might have been tough to input.
And cad, they're crazy Finns (and we know ilx loves those). They do, uh, I guess it's experimental folk music?
― emil.y, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:38 (fourteen years ago) link
i love faux-shocked poll reactions
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:38 (fourteen years ago) link
huh ok the only crazy finn folk record i have is the lau nau record which is decent

I feel like Final Fantasy was robbed
also lol my highest vote to not place on my hypothetical ballot was... Thom Yorke's The Eraser
― Fee Fie Fo, FUNFNFUINFLFF! (HI DERE), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:39 (fourteen years ago) link
i voted for white chalk too, tho i didn't really think it'd make the list - it was one of those that only people who already cared about pj harvey would have checked i think

I voted for Laulu Laakson Kukista. Low. But I voted for it.
― Born too beguiled (DavidM), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:39 (fourteen years ago) link
I didn't vote; it probably would've been in my top 10.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:42 (fourteen years ago) link
Sounds like the crazy Finn vote was split really wide
― elephant rob, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:44 (fourteen years ago) link
White Chalk and Amerie (both of which I voted for) were the only two albums to get 10 votes and still not place in the top 100. I don't know what point I'm making but there it is.

I haven't heard that Erykah album, is it like radically different from her 90s albums? Because I remember those being kinda nice, but a bit too smooth and coffee shoppish for my tastes, and I haven't really paid attention to her ever since.
I actually bought the Portishead album a couple of years ago, but I've only managed to listen to it once or twice. What I remember of it was that everything was so COLD COLD COLD, no variation or dynamics, no room to breath, just all-embracing ANGST. I guess it's sorta admirable as an artistic statement, but it's way too goth for me, I just can't bring myself to listen to that album all the way.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:51 (fourteen years ago) link
yes it is radically different
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:51 (fourteen years ago) link
who all voted Erykah as #1???
(I got into Erykah in 2000 when one of my fraternity housemates put Mama's Gun on heavy rotation...just explaining how a corny indie fux0r like me could get into this so hardcore...)
― please sb me (Drugs A. Money), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:52 (fourteen years ago) link
One of my votes wasn't counted! It would have placed 762nd.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:53 (fourteen years ago) link
Maybe I should give it a try then... I like her as a singer, so if she's gotten over the coffee shop syndrome I might dig that album.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:53 (fourteen years ago) link
I really tried to love NU AMERYKAH, but it was ultimately an album I ended up admiring more than enjoying. Still, it was an album that I found compelling enough that its placement at the top of the poll pleases me, and I look forward to giving it another listen to see if it clicks this time.
― MumblestheRevelator, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:53 (fourteen years ago) link
Based on the old type of soul/r&b you mentioned often in the alt 70s poll, I think you would eat this album up! xp
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:54 (fourteen years ago) link
johnny fever, where's my missing Yellow Magic Orchestra vote?!?!?!

― 1967 Dragnet episode (Z S), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:55 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, I think I'll give it a listen. Those Youtube songs posted here are pretty cool.

:D
I love Mama's Gun...like every time I listen to it, I feel like Erykah is one of my best friends...
and every time I listen to Nu Amerykah pt. 1 I feel like one of my best friends got elected to Speaker of the House or something...

As I mentioned in the other thread, surprised Be Your Own Pet didn't place in the top 100.
Also as mentioned, I was one of the Erykah #1 voters.
