I unfortunately didn't keep up with this due to life events, but golly am I happy to see two of my own nominations facing off here, along with another one of my picks! Glad to see The Good The Bad and the Ugly, Deep Cuts, and Seven Swans survived without my support as the nominator. Match-ups: Sleat...

24º Hot Chip - Over and Over 2006 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl8JLyhgZRE I do not know who this guy called Casio, but this song is gay because of him. CASIO is a company that produces, among many other things, electronic music instruments... I think you may be stretching things a bit with some...

How Do You Sleep by LCD Soundsystem was the song I was worried about being missed earlier; didn't expect there to be an unlisted vote even higher than my own! Really happy with its placement.

BleuPanda

I support this punk dominance in the top 10 and desperately hope it's reflected in the EOY lists. Brutalism was one of the most underappreciated albums of last year, I sure hope people wake up to IDLES with the outstanding Joy as an Act of Resistance.

Hmm...there's a song in my top 100 that I know received at least another top 100 vote and a few other lower votes, but it hasn't appeared yet and I can't imagine it will at this point...I wonder if it got ate up in the file?

I voted for 15 of the 33 and then was the high voter for two out of the five on your second list! Pretty amazing given that these were singled out for only drawing a few votes. It's funny because I don't think our lists are that correlated on the whole but we share a lot of random songs that only a...

It has had this feature as long as I've been using this forum. Does it not show up for everyone? It's the little icon that shows up when there's new messages, when you click on it.

Going through this just confirms why I wasn't able to participate. I like quite a few songs that have shown up, but I've never felt particularly guilty for doing so.

So, uh, I wanted to get to this, stop feeling guilty about delaying all these things so much...

But I asked my husband for a divorce on Monday and have no idea when I'll be in the right head space to do this...

I should revisit this one. I find both "O.N.E." and "Ambling Alp" to be severely underappreciated. So much energy carried through both, and they really capture a sound entirely their own.

One issue I have with this list is that minor variations of the same game are listed separately. Are any publications listing both Ninja Gaiden (2004) and Ninja Gaiden Black simultaneously? Black is essentially a director's cut; where would Ninja Gaiden (2004) land if the two games were combined? Sa...

Since only six people have submitted a list so far (and I kind of half-disappeared over the last several months...), I wanted to share on the music forum as well. I have extended the deadline to a week from today.

BleuPanda

I have extended the deadline to the 17th since I figure a lot of people who would participate missed it. Greg has also submitted a ballot now.

BleuPanda

So, I only received 5 lists, it appears? Which feels really small (but I also didn't push this as much as I should, sorry). Let me know if you thought you submitted one and I lost it or if you forgot to submit and would like to.

Here's who I have:

This happens again for 1978's The Man Machine song.

I decided to tackle Halo this weekend with a friend, got through the first eight of ten levels in one go. I feel like World of Warcraft is just going to sit in that awful place of being a top 10 game I won't get around to; all my friends who do play MMORPGs have moved on to Final Fantasy XIV, and th...

American Football is the one I always think of, though part of that perception is probably skewed by living in the same town as where the band formed. But seeing it at #6 on the list Harold provided suggests I'm not alone. I'd certainly take them over the other two Urbana-Champaign bands who do alre...

Looking at that initial list, I just now noticed how much The House That Heaven Built has fallen. This song started off above Oblivion somehow!!!

Gah, for some reason I decided to update my song list this week...why would I do this just in time to see my old list be used? Why didn't I wait until after this new list to find new songs?

Not in the mental state to update it, so it's good as is.

So, I haven't actually touched this at all, but combining it shouldn't take too long - so today is the soft deadline, but I will give a hard deadline once I'm closer to actually presenting. Sorry again for the delay in all of this; I've been going through perhaps one of the most stressful periods of...

Can you still extend a deadline of movie poll for a month (or at least two weeks). I would love to participate but I’m so busy right now that I haven’t had time to update my list.

I'm still in a bit of an odd place, so definitely.

BleuPanda

Well, there's always the obvious cycle that something referred to as the 'greatest X' will end up having more people check it out, and then many will try to understand the medium through the lens of that artist or work. And because so many people base their views of a medium through that 'greatest' ...

This feels like the first event-type album of the year to me, so I figure it deserves its own thread.

No worries - though I am kind of anticipating the day you hand this project over to others because I want to dive in and expand the album list to 5,000. In other words, I am excited to someday realize just how stressful running this has been all these years...

This was the first time I didn't vote, but not out of a lack of interest. I did have less time, but wanted to listen to everything on Monday evening, but the poll was already closed.

I also simply didn't have time.

For me, it all depends on the genre. Lyrics are easily one of my main focuses in hip hop and folk music. Other genres not so much. But in those first two genres, the way language is said also works differently; most of the time, the enunciation is clearer. There are a lot of rock songs where I have ...
