I rarely (if ever) post to this list, because I really dont care weather
anyone is aware of my opinions or not, but I figured that since I
bothered to write this while this when voting in the poll, I figgured
someone might be interested, although I dont know why. just so you know,
this poll has no importance to me whatsoever, I just thought it would be
nice for people reading the results in future years for the poll to at
least have some pretense of meaning. If you intend to harrass me about
this tripe, dont bother, because I have no interest in hearing how
stupid my thoughts are on the matter.
... just to let you know, I truely think this poll sucks. There is
absolutely no reason for such constraints and boxes in a poll on a very
free form of music. The only proper representation of what this list
considers best this year would be to eliminate the categorization, and
the nomination and the 'pick one' this is all burocracy, and bullshit.
as far as I can tell, a simpler, more flexible, and more true to peoples
actual preferences would be to have only the most general categories (ie
album, single, artist, label... maybe some more... ), and then give
everyone an equal weight (such as 1) for all their preferences in that
category. so you could vote for just one, or divide your vote any way
you please, weighting each vote however you like so that they add up to
1. Also, the end result should be the top 10 or so in each category, not
just '#1', to give an indication of the true bredth of peoples
preferences. To have such awkward boxes for such free music is absurd.
Im sure I will wonder why I bothered posting when tommorow arives, but
such is life: regret.
mas / skam / v/vm / a-music etc. ALL deserve to be label of the year,
what is the meaning of 'best'?
