BEAMAs 2014 Round 1 Voting

Anonymous · 2015-01-21T05:42:40-05:00

The games forum is pretty packed at the moment so I figured it made sense to do these here (if any mod has an issue by all means move us to the games forum). For those who don't know the BEAMAs are our annual awards celebrating the music of the year before - imagine the grammys but with you know...people who have actually listened to music voting. So it's time for first round voting and that means nominating the albums and songs you want to see nominated for the second round of voting. There are 2 surveys to fill out so that you don't have to overload yourself by doing iut all at once (though if you feel like it by all means...) because it is a lot. Each survey gives the instructions for that survey but the gist is that most categories have a minimum of 5 and maximum of 10 contenders you can nominate (with the exception of Best Song and Best Album which have a minimum of 10 and maximum of 50). The preferred format of text entry is "Album/Song Title - Artist Name" it makes it much easier for counting if you can stick to this. The first survey consists of the genre categories. It can sometimes be hard to decide what genre an album or song is (hey we hate using terms like 'Electronic' and 'Alternative' but what can you do?) but it's up to your judgement - use wikipedia or RYM if you like. You can ask in this thread what people think an album/song falls under since we will be considering an album/song in the genre it gets most votes under. The second survey is the so called 'bigger' awards and follow much the same rules. The categories for the first survey are: Best Indie/Alternative Album Best Indie/Alternative Song Best Pop Album Best Pop Song Best Electronic Album Best Electronic Song Best Hip-Hop Album Best Hip-Hop Song Best Country/Folk Album Best Country/Folk Song Best Blues/Jazz Album Best Blues/Jazz Song Best Metal Album Best Metal Song Best RnB Album Best RnB Song Best Rock Album Best Rock Song Best Avant-Garde Album Best Avant-Garde Song Best Instrumental Album Best Instrumental Song Best Album Not In English Best Song Not In English Best Solo Male Album Best Solo Male Song Best Solo Female Album Best Solo Female Song The categories from the second survey are: Best Debut Album Of The Year Best EP Of The Year Best BEA User Created Album Of The Year Best BEA User Created Song Of The Year Most Overrated Album Of The Year Most Underrated Album Of The Year Biggest Letdown Of The Year Biggest Surprise Of The Year Worst Album Of The Year Worst Song Of The Year Best Music Video Of The Year Best Album Art Of The Year Best Song Of The Year Best Album Of The Year Just a reminder that you can skip whatever categories you want because if you only vote for one album or song in a category we won't count it anyway. PLEASE use this thread to promote those songs, albums, videos that you think people should know about before voting because a lot of the time people just don't know. First Round Voting closes on the 4th of February. So you got 2 weeks. As always any questions thoughts, post em. Thanks and enjoy :mrgreen:

By the way, does anyone have any EPs to recommend? I haven't heard many thus far, and tbh so far Kitty's Frostbite might actually be my favourite 😮 (Mr. Noah is there too)

My top ten will probably look something like:

1. Shackleton - Freezing Opening Thawing
2. 100s - IVRY
3. Shamir - Northtown
4. Oneohtrix Point Never - Commissions I
5. Mumdance - Take Time
6. Kane West - Western Beats
7. Vince Staples - Hell Can Wait
8. Lowtec - Workshop 20
9. Shlomo & Jeremih - No More
10. Mas Ysa - Worth

Of which I think you'll particularly enjoy Mas Ysa, Shamir, Vince Staples, and possibly Kane West too. But they're all worth checking out.

Also, if 'Lifestyle' by Young Thug & Rich Homie Quan isn't nominated for Best Hip-Hop Song then the entire tournament is a lie.

Bashful Creatures by Hippo Campus

One of my favorite releases of the year, definitely my favorite EP.

The JJ DOOM one mentioned earlier was really good and the Oneohtrix Point Never was pretty good too.

Originally, no more time. But this is BEAMAs and not even me and Jhereko have voted yet, so I suppose a few more days at least. Also, we really don't have enough votes so far, so we can't really close it yet even if we wanted.

Was half-awake last night and accidentally included a 2015 release when I was running through the survey (Beardfish's +4626-COMFORTZONE) so feel free to discount that one. Pretty sure that's the only mistake I made.
