I don't know that I would've voted for Jessie Ware in 2012, but that's what I'm doing now.

why set up a poll like this and then close it in 5 days?

Dan S, Saturday, 28 May 2022 03:36 (two years ago) link

Because five days is plenty of time and anything more is risking voter fraud!

I know I've engaged reluctantly with the last couple but these polls should really last 0 days. We'd all get a lot more out of discussing the ILM 77s from each year than relitigating critical consensus

Grimes - Visions
Swans - The Seer
Death Grips - The Money Store
Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
Baroness - Yellow & Green
Goat - World Music
The Mountain Goats - Transcendental Youth

I rep for all of these but my vote went to GOAT who are simply phenomenal.

I really wanted vote for Purity Ring or The Mountain Goats but this is very clearly Kendrick

Top 3 are amazing but wanted to throw out some love to Shields.

Voted for Swans. I should revisit it.

I mainly remember 2012 for illness with a soundtrack of Hindemith instead, for some reason. But from the list, Kaleidoscope Dream is the one giving the strongest "you should dig me out and re-listen this instant" vibes, so that.

So did I - definitely my favourite of hers.

Voted for Miguel, might have gone for Jessie Ware instead had I not somehow missed it. Think my favourite album from this year would be Koi no yokan by Deftones (their overall best album maybe).

I remember the Converge album being good, I should revisit that.
