My ilX ballot, 2010: Crowded at the top
Jan. 19th, 2011 10:18 am
Here's my tracks and albums ballots for ilX's 2011 poll. Difference between this and the other polls I do is that in this one we can only vote for tracks and albums that have been nominated. Of course, we can nominate a whole lot ourselves, but I deliberately nominated a mess of country tracks I knew I wasn't going to have room to vote for, since I wanted to vote a lot of things that would get votes from someone else too. Also, this way I got to vote for several tracks from 2009 that were nominated by others.
We were instructed to copy and paste our votes directly from the final list of nominees, as "syntax is of utmost importance" (I understood the reason for that instruction perfectly, recalling how back in Pazz & Jop 2005 the Voice poobahs failed to add together votes for Robyn's "Be Mine!" and Robyn's "Be Mine"). So here are my lists as pasted, including my vote for "Jamie" Johnson. (I'd've had the opportunity to vote for Jamey Johnson under tracks, but what was nominated there wasn't nearly as good as "Poor Man Blues," "Cover Your Eyes," "Lonely At The Top," etc.)
