Okay, there was a vague agreement (with Bee OK at least) that I'd go ahead with The Go-Betweens after Beck concluded. So...no objections?I'm willing and able to commence pretty much immediately. Tuomas's ambient jamboree is scheduled to choogle along for most of this month but it didn't seem to dampen enthusiasm for the Beck poll. I'm thinking that a generous voting deadline extending a week or so beyond the ambient one might just work. I'll start a thread today if no one advises against it!

I guess I'm on the list for Bardo Pond, but I also threw out a Cat Power poll. I'm up for either if that's something people want!
― Coelacanth Green (Leee), Thursday, 18 July 2019 17:09 (four years ago) link
Add me at the back of the list for a Wussy poll. I'll be dead and Wussy will be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by then, at which point someone else can take it over.
― clemenza, Thursday, 18 July 2019 17:21 (four years ago) link
I for one would be interested to see the results of a Cat Power poll.I've found it pretty hard to gauge the likely turnout from responses on this thread. There seem to be few contenders right at this instant, so Leee, if you're in a position to start immediately you may as well just try it and see.(IMHO. Certainly not speaking with any authority, obviously.)

someone should really run an Underworld poll sometime considering all the love for them here, but I'd want to wait until after Drift finishes up of course

\///\/// It's the ILX SUPER SUMMER R.E.M. POLL OF POLLS RESULTS THREAD \///\///
― mookieproof, Friday, 19 July 2019 22:53 (four years ago) link
No, that's the REM poll that happened, but not the one that was proposed. I can't remember the details now because it was more than 10 years ago (but someone could look into it, if anyone is remotely bothered), but I think that poll was based on people voting from a limited selection of REM tunes that had been selected from an album-by-album series of traditional ILM polls (i.e. where you can only make one vote for one track). Then I copied the idea and did a Blur poll where people could vote for any track by Blur and then it kickstarted this whole neverending list of artist polls and at some point somebody said 'ah, we should do REM again, but this time you can vote for any track by them'. I think.
― the salacious inaudible (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Friday, 19 July 2019 23:04 (four years ago) link
XP That REM poll wasn't really a standard ballot poll tho.
I can take over Hendrix.
― frustration and wonky passion (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 19 July 2019 23:05 (four years ago) link
oh okay
― mookieproof, Friday, 19 July 2019 23:13 (four years ago) link
yes, REM needs to be redone because NBS pretty much nailed the reason and that is why they were added to this list.
the Shoegaze/Dream Pop/ Post-rock (Akbums and EPs) will be done but i'm also willing to let someone take over that one if wanted. to tell the truth, i will do New Wave before that one anyways, so i would love it if someone took it over that way it will be done sooner rather than later as i can't see me doing it for at least two years.
Hendrix is yours C. Grisso/McCain
image, ballot poll #100 for the 00's poll just sounds perfect. you are on deck.

doesnt hendrix have a really small catalog?

Kind of, but we've done bands with small-ish discographies before (Nirvana, Velvet Underground, Led Zeppelin etc.).
― frustration and wonky passion (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 19 July 2019 23:24 (four years ago) link
true. dunno how accurate this is but it says 174 tracks, which a ton are live and/or posthumous.
