OK, this Talaboman track is great, I'm a sucker for things that should be boring but somehow never stop growing on me for 11 minutes (the repeated ping in this case)

also, refusing to vote for tracks by an artist you've voted for in the albums poll is insanity imo

i mean, i did tbf cut tropical fuck storm and daphne & celeste out of my tracks ballot because i'm more invested in the album as a whole, but there were some artists where i just could not avoid voting for them in both polls and to do so would have defied my year in music

If you're voting for 10 tracks by the same artist, may I interest you in the albums poll?

I'll start a poll once both rollouts are done. let's reconvene on the subject then

If only the highest song places and the others are disqualified I don't see how it resolves vote-splitting.If there's no consensus that's it. Placing several songs is actually a good sign.+1 at not voting for album tracks being madness.Every time I come back to this thread and press on "skipping...", I automatically land on Andrew WK giving me thumbs up :s

I think the only way to artificially reduce track possibilities is through nominations: don't give 40 nominations per user, force them to be disciplined.

top three for today is something like (having not heard Autechre but I can tell what kind of thing it is and it'll be a fine from me n' all):
46: Mr. Twin Sister – “Jaipur”54: Talaboman – “Dins El Llit (Superpitcher Remix)”60: Cardi B featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin – “I Like It”
Worst had to be Smoko. Sounded like lj was responsible for this?

would have still made the 77 without my 6 points

I like that Hop Along song but voted for "Somewhere a Judge" instead.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 20:27 (five years ago) link
I would definitely support curtailing nominations to max of 20 overall or fewer.
If an album has 5+ nominations, you could do a short poll to narrow it down to 1 or 2.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Tuesday, 29 January 2019 20:28 (five years ago) link
I’m opposed to this curating/curtailing of nominations. Let a thousand flowers bloom (or wither, whatever the case may be).
― breastcrawl, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 20:32 (five years ago) link
Reducing individual nominations won't reduce vote-splitting. It will make it a lot harder for people like me, who can't rely on anyone else to nominate things they like.

― i stan corrected (morrisp), Tuesday, 29 January 2019 21:06 (five years ago) link
idk that my taste really adds to the conversation but there was a lot that failed to move me today. everything i liked i had already heard and p much everything i hadn't heard was rly boring to me. as i say, diff't strokes. all good. my music taste is completely fucked-up on instant melodic gratification and overstimulated progge antics so i find a lot of things boring that might be accurately described by others as 'a jam'
mind you wtf were the kim petras and autechre songs doing here lol
― imago, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 21:14 (five years ago) link
might end up using this year's results as an excuse to kickstart an actual poll on instituting a one-track-per-artist limit as opposed to just whining about it again
― resident hack (Simon H.)
I think I also chipped in a similar idea in some thread I don’t remember. The point was to get 77 different main artists on the countdown (feature credits get a pass) and only the most voted song per artist makes it, you can still vote for whichever song of the artist you like but only one gets represented... This to get a more varied poll.
So per example in 2014, a year with 5 Taylor Swift singles in the top 77 you get:
6. TAYLOR SWIFT - Style (620 points, 19 votes)
And maybe either post the real top 77 at the end in text form with repeat artists as it is right now or if you want to discuss all songs on the top 77 in the moment add them as a secondary info inside the main winner from the artist as a mini ranking of their songs inside the top 77 like say:
6. TAYLOR SWIFT - Style (620 points, 19 votes) - Blank Space (515 points, 15 votes) - Out of the Woods (469 points, 12 votes)- Shake it Off (345 points, 11 votes)- Bad Blood (322 points, 8 votes
Something like that...
