2012 AMF EOY Song Poll

Post by sonofsamiam »

I know there are a lot of polls and rollouts going on right now, but I felt the need to do a 2012 songs poll, as it was a really good year. You all know the drill...

1. Please list a minimum of 10 songs, in the following format: 7 | OneDirection | What Makes You Beautiful (or something similar, just make sure artist comes before song and that there are some common, consistent delimiters)
2. List as many as you want; I will tally up to 50.
3. Deadline is February 1, 1:00 PM GMT

I'm planning on using the following scoring system: 50*(1+10)/([placement]+10)

Hopefully that works for everyone, but I'm open to suggestion.

Please enter your lists in this thread and not the 2012 Songs thread -- makes it much easier to manage.

Great kick-off Sonofsam.

Until today I thought all of Four Tet's previously released Pink tracks (6 out of 8) were from 2011, but in reality only Locked and Pyramid are. Good news.

It's the first one I checked the original release date of. And that's why I thought all previously released singels were from 2011. Would-be top three contender!

So it's just a basic list-tournament? Not a nomination round first like previous year(s)?
Asking just to be sure.

Yes, just standard this time. I'm not sure the last time the songs poll was done this way, if ever.

Hi Romain -- I am counting your top 10 currently, but your next unranked group has more than 40 songs in it. If you want to cut it to 40, I can include those and give them all the same points. Let me know if you want to do that, and what songs they would be!

Hey Jackson, if you edit please let me know, as I'm tallying as we go. It's not a big deal if you do, I just need to go back and tweak.

Nassim, could you clarify if this is for Grimes - Oblivion or Grimes - Genesis?

Actually, Genesis covering Oblivion would be kinda cool, though it would have to be the mid-'70s Genesis...

It's looking like "Ashtray Wasp" will be the AMF special in this poll. I'm still shocked that no critics gave it any recognition when they all praised the song upon Kindred's release.

I think this is the first time I talk about 2012. My focus was elsewhere last year, but I'm trying to catch up. This list is still in progress. I will post in proper format on the 31st.

Everyone, please listen to track 3 and 4!

My top 50: "Dark pop and global spots"

Everyone you meet fights a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.

Nassim, could you clarify if this is for Grimes - Oblivion or Grimes - Genesis?

Actually, Genesis covering Oblivion would be kinda cool, though it would have to be the mid-'70s Genesis...
Oblivion!

There probably should be 1 or 2 Divine Fits on my list, but since they stand no chance I won't bother!

We are pretty much at the deadline, still hoping for others. ZORG, I was especially counting on you, is anything forthcoming?

If anyone just hasn't been able to get theirs up yet, please let me know and I'll keep the thread open a little longer (by that I mean in hours, not days).

Thanks!

Ha.

There's no way I could make a list which was interesting or varied enough. I've only heard about 6 albums from 2012 well enough to rank, so I wouldn't feel right posting a songs list. Damn you 90s poll!

OK, voting IS NOW CLOSED.

It may be a little while before I post the results, definitely not this weekend. Work and life remain crazy, but it will come soon.
