still working on my ballot but "It Came Out of the Sky" will definitely make the cut
going through the albums, I was surprised to enjoy Pendulum so much ... Fogerty's performances on Hammond and horns are mostly just passable but somehow they sound great

Pendulum is v underrated!

the last hurrah
I didn't like it very much, will try again at some point but I know for sure there's no more room in my 25

Coverage of the 2008 expanded reissues, and the way Fogerty's sensibility comes across; kinda ties in with Mark Sinker's '03 post, pasted onto this here thread earlier:http://www.villagevoice.com/2008-10-01/music/revisiting-the-curt-cosmic-populism-of-creedence-clearwater-revival/full/

I haven't sent out any confirmations yet, but I will try to remember to do that tonight.

Voted!

I've never heard "Sailor's Lament." Love the groovy bass, the organ, the horns.

btw I'm counting Chronicle as an album b/c why not

Finally sent confirmations to the people who have sent in their ballots so far. Remember, the deadline is tomorrow night! (+ however long it takes me to tally up the ballots)
― example (crüt), Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:10 (eight years ago) link
will send one today

aw c'mon man this is like voting for the Immaculate Collection or something
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:30 (eight years ago) link
can't believe I left Don't Look Now off my ballot
― Brad C., Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:32 (eight years ago) link
you can resubmit!
― example (crüt), Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:33 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, putting together my ballot for submission right now. I still expect mine to be very Greatest Hits-y, with only a very few songs that people who only know CCR from Chronicle or classic rock radio won't know. Will say, though, that for someone who has only ever heard Green River among their studio records that Willy and the Poor Boys was a minor revelation.

xp thanks, I'll leave it as is, it was hard to get down to 25 tracks ... maybe some late voters will pick up my slack
― Brad C., Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:35 (eight years ago) link
def hard to narrow it down. listening through all the songs on my ballot, I keep thinking every single song should be my #1.
― example (crüt), Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:41 (eight years ago) link
My list is basically Chronicles Vol. 2.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:55 (eight years ago) link
OK, sent. Don't even want to think about the stuff I've left off.
― Willibald Pirckheimers Briefwechsel (Tom D.), Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:57 (eight years ago) link
Nothing wrong with voting for either (and TIC is worse than Chronicle). Some comps transcend their ephemerality: Al Green's, Sly Stone's, Singles Going Steady.

when do ballots need to be sent by? midnight?
― fetty wap, kombucha, where to trap queen (some dude), Friday, 12 June 2015 14:37 (eight years ago) link
ostensibly yes, but I'm actually not going to get a chance to tally things up till tomorrow, so i'll extend the deadline till noon tomorrow
― example (crüt), Friday, 12 June 2015 16:10 (eight years ago) link

sent in my ballot, hope I made it in time
― some dude, Saturday, 13 June 2015 15:15 (eight years ago) link
I've only got 21 ballots including my own, which seems a little low. I'm inclined to extend the voting period. Is anyone else interested in voting?
― example (crüt), Sunday, 14 June 2015 17:11 (eight years ago) link
Wow, I thought this might end up being one of the polls with big participation, but ilm is finicky.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 14 June 2015 17:13 (eight years ago) link
21 is about average i think
― Οὖτις, Sunday, 14 June 2015 17:23 (eight years ago) link
I didn't submit a ballot, but would vote if an extension was made.
But I don't want to be that guy everyone's waiting on either.
― pplains, Sunday, 14 June 2015 17:28 (eight years ago) link
I think 20+ is enough to get reasonable results. ILM def has poll fatigue and extending deadlines isn't going to change that.
― WilliamC, Sunday, 14 June 2015 17:30 (eight years ago) link
all right, i'll go ahead and tally these up, then. voting is closed!
― example (crüt), Sunday, 14 June 2015 18:29 (eight years ago) link
i know everyone likes these brief voting periods but i always thought 2 weeks was too short, both as a voter as an organizer. i always pushed back the deadline for polls i ran to encourage more ballots. and w/ this one i just barely had the time to work on my ballot before the 2 weeks were up.
that said, 21 is definitely a decent number, maybe even above average. i've definitely done artist polls w/ fewer voters.
― some dude, Sunday, 14 June 2015 19:57 (eight years ago) link
I promise I won't say "'Ramble Tamble' only at No. 16? It would've at least been No. 15 had my ballot gone through."
― pplains, Sunday, 14 June 2015 20:05 (eight years ago) link
Don't worry, I've got "Ramble Tamble"'s back.

Oh yeah, I've def got "Ramble" in my top five somewhere
― bunny slopes, Sunday, 14 June 2015 21:39 (eight years ago) link
No worries on the "Ramble Tamble" front.
― The Manner of Crawly (Tom D.), Sunday, 14 June 2015 22:31 (eight years ago) link
"Ramble Tamble" is probably very moved by this outpouring of support.
