Voted! The chance of hearing a life-changing album before the deadline is getting smaller and smaller and besides, I have to get some work done. Very excited for the rollout!

ArchCarrier, Saturday, 4 March 2017 09:53 (seven years ago) link

hi I don't think I will have time to vote in this poll but I just wanted to voice my approval of matthew good; avalanche & last of the ghetto astronauts are great as well as the records brad mentioned

I'm going to vote in a bit, hungover and emotional as appropriate. I haven't heard as much stuff that's new to me as I would've liked and I think my ballot's going to be a bit weird but there we are.

Still don't know if I'm going to include things like Thursday and C&C that used to mean a lot to me but haven't listened to in many years...

Rival Schools was the last album I added to my ballot, so thanks Spottie! Campaigning does help.

ArchCarrier, Saturday, 4 March 2017 11:57 (seven years ago) link

Sadly I've been wildly busy recently with trying to not be unemployed (which by all rights this should have been the perfect playlist for) and I haven't had time to listen to much. Still, I'll submit a quick ballot tomorrow and I'm very excited for rollout discoveries. Thanks so much for doing this, Mordy!

60 on my shortlist. time to whittle down

Odysseus, Saturday, 4 March 2017 14:08 (seven years ago) link

oh bollocks City of Caterpillar wasn't nominated :(

Odysseus, Saturday, 4 March 2017 14:14 (seven years ago) link

Mordy says I can do a write-in so everyone who hasn't voted yet (TT,LJ, sund4r etc please give a listen and a top 5 vote to City Of Caterpillar - City Of Caterpillar.
It's a brilliant record.

Hi5 AC

I've left this too late but Shiner were a great band, one of my nominations. Really strong post-hardcore with a solid rhythm section and some slightly experimental/math-rock leanings

Ugh, I don't know what I'm doing wrong but yt won't embed for me any more, sorry.

The songs were 'This Situationist' from 'Lula Divinia', And the title track from 'The Egg.' They're awesome, honest.

Oh yeah, City of Caterpillar's pretty good too.

ultros ultros-ghali, Saturday, 4 March 2017 16:51 (seven years ago) link

Shiner were great and not forgotten by me

Odysseus, Saturday, 4 March 2017 16:52 (seven years ago) link

Do you like Gospel?
This album is easily one of the best albums of the 00s.

Odysseus, Saturday, 4 March 2017 17:16 (seven years ago) link

Sorry I literally just sent my ballot man... City of Caterpillar made it though. Glad someone else likes Shiner too!

ultros ultros-ghali, Saturday, 4 March 2017 17:21 (seven years ago) link

There was quite a few shiner fans on here back in the day. Its probably how I heard of them.

Odysseus, Saturday, 4 March 2017 17:24 (seven years ago) link

ftr that Gospel album is loved by scott seward too. Whether youve voted or not you should play it. (as should anyone reading)

Odysseus, Saturday, 4 March 2017 17:26 (seven years ago) link

Screamo-prog! Fuck, this is great.

ultros ultros-ghali, Saturday, 4 March 2017 18:04 (seven years ago) link

Told you!

Odysseus, Saturday, 4 March 2017 18:16 (seven years ago) link

oh no, i think i lost my shortlist :(

why ruin a good tradition? (Will M.), Saturday, 4 March 2017 18:41 (seven years ago) link

Did you look under the couch?

Odysseus, Saturday, 4 March 2017 20:22 (seven years ago) link

Yeah, Gospel sound v good a few tracks in, sort of like what I hoped Mars Volta would sound like.

My Body's Made of Crushed Little Evening Stars (Sund4r), Saturday, 4 March 2017 20:29 (seven years ago) link

I wish Mars Volta had sounded like Crime In Choir. (ex atd-i dudes who quit early and not the guys who were in the shitty band Sparta who i saw twice supporting Qotsa)

Wouldve voted Crime in Choir if they had been nommed

Odysseus, Saturday, 4 March 2017 21:03 (seven years ago) link

I voted btw Mordy, did you get it?

Odysseus, Saturday, 4 March 2017 21:03 (seven years ago) link

god damn i forgot how much i like this saetia record

why ruin a good tradition? (Will M.), Saturday, 4 March 2017 21:09 (seven years ago) link

i got it xp

fyi everyone we currently have 22 ballots!

Mordy, Saturday, 4 March 2017 21:29 (seven years ago) link

just eyeballing it the results look like they'll be very interesting

Mordy, Saturday, 4 March 2017 21:37 (seven years ago) link

lol ugh i nominated sunday's best and totally forgot to vote for them

the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Saturday, 4 March 2017 21:48 (seven years ago) link

shite, i forgot to vote fir Saetia

Odysseus, Saturday, 4 March 2017 22:14 (seven years ago) link

Mordy, the op says Sunday but saw you say in the other thread you need it by end of day today?

Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Saturday, 4 March 2017 23:19 (seven years ago) link

Apparently Sunday evening is enough time so that's when it'll close. Rollout on Monday. I'm thinking... 15 albums a day w/ 17 on the first day. wrap up on friday.

Mordy, Saturday, 4 March 2017 23:27 (seven years ago) link

Not a top 300 then?

Odysseus, Sunday, 5 March 2017 01:29 (seven years ago) link

I voted. My ballot was ridiculous.

My Body's Made of Crushed Little Evening Stars (Sund4r), Sunday, 5 March 2017 02:26 (seven years ago) link

non ridiculous ballots should be thrown out imo

who else submitted a full 50

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 5 March 2017 03:07 (seven years ago) link

50? I thought it was 30

Odysseus, Sunday, 5 March 2017 03:13 (seven years ago) link

Of course Mordy's the boss, but there are no technical reasons why your ballots should only have 30 albums. 50 is fine by me.

I haven't even started to shortlist yet lol, probably gonna get six beers deep the night of, scan the noms list, and go strictly by feels

Then it's fine with me. If people who already submitted want to resubmit that's fine. Just make a note that it's a resubmission in your new ballot.

Odysseus, Sunday, 5 March 2017 04:03 (seven years ago) link

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 5 March 2017 04:36 (seven years ago) link

I voted for 50 albums

ArchCarrier, Sunday, 5 March 2017 06:55 (seven years ago) link

my ballot is in.

really weird (but awesome) group of albums in the end, had a lot of trouble ranking them in comparison to each other. really interested to see the results!

Will (kruezer2), Sunday, 5 March 2017 21:55 (seven years ago) link

This City of Caterpillar stuff is absolutely amazing!

tangenttangent, Sunday, 5 March 2017 22:21 (seven years ago) link

Told you so. Did you like Gospel?

Odysseus, Sunday, 5 March 2017 22:35 (seven years ago) link

Haven't listened yet. Compiling film ballot and sourcing outliers for my emo 50.

tangenttangent, Sunday, 5 March 2017 22:48 (seven years ago) link

The Gospel album is better than City of Caterpillar (its screamo-prog)

i resubmitted my ballot btw

Odysseus, Sunday, 5 March 2017 22:52 (seven years ago) link

I wasn't going to vote in this but we're listening to Braid and...I might, you know

an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Sunday, 5 March 2017 23:10 (seven years ago) link

give a listen to Gospel.

Screamo-prog! Fuck, this is great.
