Just came here to nominate this! I've been listening to it all day in between turkey.

yes, it’s a good one. There was brief talk on the balearic thread and I believe people were a little cool on it, but I find myself drawn back to it more than their previous LP, which I found brutally sad at times

lol at the suggestion that I haven't found enough "quality music recorded in 2017," I have a playlist for you

what, can’t find enough quality music recorded in 2017?

xp, if i had been able to nominate the album, which was the original intent, i likely woulda just let it pass because it's the whole of the album that moved me more than anything else. But those two individual tracks (and those Blasts from the Past albums ; thanks forever Captaine Jay Vee!) were as close to a kaddish for prince as i got this year. they elevated me and my life and i think that's worth a nod in a silly internet talent show. besides which as you point out, i am also conserving silly internet talent show nom nom noms but i don't think the prince contingent was gonna show on those picks in any case so better to play cards early.

Bodak Yellow is fine

the "Cardi B / you know where I'm at / you know where I be" part vaguely reminds me of "Gorilla Pimp" lol

I have no idea why previously unreleased bonus tracks would be dqed if you're gonna let collections of prev unreleased old stuff in..

Using Purple Rain as an example, it was an album released in 1984, therefore it is ineligible for a 2017 poll in any iteration. "We Can Fuck," a bonus track on the latest reissue, was recorded in 1984, but never heard by anybody nor commercially released, so it is an eligible track. Compilation albums like the Numero Group volumes or whatever, despite consisting of old material, are new creations and are therefore eligible in the albums category, but since most/all of the tracks that comprise them are previously commercially released—even if they were small 7" runs of 200—would be ineligible for the tracks poll if they came out in, say, 1971.

Hopefully that's not too confusing/convoluted.

MISSING FROM THE SPREADSHEET:
