THE 2011 ILM SUPER-MEGA YEAR-END ALBUMS 'N' TRACKS POLL™ is open for nominations!

^ actual nominations btw

Until you list them in the proper format, I can't copy & paste them.

ALBUMS

Maria Rita - Elo
Kimbra - Vows
Various - Pakistan Folk and Pop Instrumentals 1966-76

I don't think we allow compilations of old material, do we? (assuming that's what your last nom is)

Single artist greatest hits comps have traditionally been disallowed, but compilations like that where the end result is really the only place you can find such songs (essentially making it a "new" creation) are fine with me.

I'm sure we've allowed comps before. Or maybe that was just stuff that lay dormant and unreleased at the time, so although it was old it was still the first release.

I'd be sad if I couldn't nominate Bangs & Works Vol.2 as it's one of the newest, most relevant things to come out this year, and no you can't really get hold of the individual tracks without going to Chicago and sifting through thousands of records.

Which reminds me:

ALBUMS
Machinedrum - Room(s)
Kuedo - Severant

18/25

Ok cool.

I guess basically comps will have to be included on a case by case basis. Things like archival various artist comps should always be allowed, because the end result of grouping all those tracks together is a "new" creation. Technically a single artist comp is new as well, but that just doesn't smell right for what we're doing here.

(Unless it's a single artist comp of previously scarce or unreleased material, i.e. Arthur Russell from a few years back)

albums:
andy stott - passed me by/we stay together
bvdub - resistance is beautiful
kurt vile - smoke ring for my halo
moon duo - mazes
omar-s. - high school graffiti
oneohtrix point never - replica
the war on drugs - slave ambient
destroyer - kaputt

(8/25)

moon duo has already been nom'd

I feel a little weird listing compilations, actually, but this whole strand of Pakistani music was unfamiliar to me (not that I know much about Pakistani music) and I assume it's largely unheard in the west. It wouldn't surprise me if most of this music is also nearly forgotten in Pakistan, since a lot of it was riding western popular music trends of the time, obviously.

Before I do my tracks list, what's the rule on something like "Super Bass" again, which was an album track in 2010 but didn't become a hit until 2011?

If it placed last year, it's out; not sure what the rule is otherwise.

Yeah, if it placed in 2010, it's out. But if its presence was more of a 2011 thing (which is definitely the case for "Super Bass"), it's def eligible.

2011 is the year I think I finally lost my way with modern music. Whether it was because I have finally given up on pop music, have lost all faith in mankind having ppl pretend skrillex or kanye don't suck, or just because i made the mistake of getting tolstoy audiobooks for work thinking it would be easier than reading them, I dunno. Ok, most probably the last one.

The Original 7ven is the band formerly known as the Time. I'll add my tracks to the Spotify list. Kitchen's Sink are genius--Australian punk somewhere between Flipper and garage jangle pop. Here's the video for 116.

I'd also strongly rep for the Unknown Mortal Orchestra album, which was slow to flower on me, but really emerged as one of the more unusual and beautiful albums of the year.

Loving the Spotify playlist, maybe partly because I clicked "Time" and am listening from shortest to longest. Haven't yet got to stuff longer than 3 minutes...

TRACKS
Whitman - Richard Smith (spotify)

Watch the Throne is on the Spotify playlist twice.

albums first:

aidan moffat & bill wells - everything's getting older
sonic youth - simon werner a disparu
ulrike haage - in:finitum
wilco - the whole love
stepkids - s/t

5/25

Jamie, u fuck with the Pistol Annies record?

ah shit just realised was viewing the thread with 500 messages not showing so my search wasn't working. gimme a min and will repost the tracks list (albums one is fine)

wow, thx for nomming "Suicide Demo"! almost forgot to do it myself

ALBUMS

Peepholes - Caligula

(19/25)

ah ironically it's only county line that was already nominated.

hmm i definitely prefer the Pistol Annies to the new Miranda solo, but to be honest i'm starting to find her a little annoying. not sure why, i find something in her voice just a little too smug and unfeeling from time to time.

actually as a proxy for my wife i will put in some commercial country tracks from this year that i've enjoyed when she's played them:

Tracks -

The Band Perry - If I Die Young
Rascal Flatts - Easy ft Natasha Beddingfield

that Band Perry album is actually really enjoyable!

Shanell-My Button

25/25

Have been saving my last nomination for a while, was planning to use it for the Horrors album but I've totally fallen in love with this song over the last couple of days.

TRACKS

Connan Mockasin - Forever Dolphin Love
William D. Drake - Homesweet Homestead Hideaway
The Devin Townsend Project - The Mighty Masturbator
Ulver - Stone Angels
To Arms Etc - The Black Pampas
North Sea Radio Orchestra - Berliner Luft
The Book Of Knots - Planemo
Knifeworld - HMS Washout
The Fall - Taking Off
Van Der Graaf Generator - Your Time Starts Now

Thanks to Matt DC, Cosmo Vitelli and Kitchen Person for already nominating the other three tracks in my top 13

ALBUMS

To Arms Etc - To Arms Etc
Van Der Graaf Generator - A Grounding In Numbers
The Devin Townsend Project - Deconstruction

TBH I don't really know what my top albums of the year are. I've missed out on so much. Still 12 nominations remaining but I doubt I'll use them all (if any).

Do we still nominate here even though ILX is back up? If so, here are the handful of things that might populate the lower reaches of my ballot, since everything important has been covered already - a.k.a. I LOVE YOU ILM.

TRACKS

Delilah - Go
Dark0 - HYLI
Kirko Bangz - Drank In My Cup
Ke$ha - Shots On The Hood Of My Car
Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe
TV on the Radio - Will Do
Prince Club - Love Jackson (Original Mix)
The Good Natured - Skeleton
Active Child - Playing House (feat. How to Dress Well)
Seany Mac - One of Those Days (Organ Mix)

Re: that last one by Seany Mac - it was released (according to the internet) in 2009, but none of us knew about it until this year when it appeared on two mixes by Physical Therapy and How to Dress Well. Do we do "year of impact on ILM" or is it totally out of the question?

Keep noms in here for the moment. I'll make a thread on proper ILM later tonight.
