"If only more strippers voted." - the Hard Rock and Hair Metal tracks poll nominations thread (not a current poll - just random hair metal chat)

It wont get any from Celtic Frost fans. Any votes it gets will be for the lols.

1st heard it in like 1992, saw it on Raw Power. It put me off checking their older records for a couple of years. By good luck i knew someone who had them and recorded them for me .

Dudes, there is probably no fucking way I can do this poll. I got a lot of shit going down both at work and at home - I just won't have time in the near future to keep bumping this thread and getting people's emails and tabulating results and shit. If someone else wants to take over, that's cool. If not, we at least have a pretty decent list of awesome songs. Sorry, y'all.

Aerosmith – What It Takes

Billy Squier – In The Dark
Dio – Holy Diver
Dio – Rainbow In The Dark
Dio – The Last In Line
Lou Gramm – Midnight Blue

Rush – Limelight
Rush – Spirit of Radio
Sammy Hagar – Three Lock Box
Sammy Hagar – I Can’t Drive 55
Twisted Sister – We’re Not Gonna Take It

xp Fine with me. I'm not permanently burned out on polls, but I'm definitely still recovering from the several we all had back-to-back-to-back.

Bon Jovi-You Give Love A Bad Name
Bon Jovi-Born To Be My Baby

I love how you guys ignore kkvgz and just keep posting nominations. One of you could surely volunteer to take over.

johnny has an excuse, he ran one recently

i'm pretty busy myself right now.

Yeah dudes, sorry. It's just the only time I can foresee myself ilxing in the near future is from my phone on the bus to and from work, which just isnt optimal conditions to run a poll under.

I was looking forward to this.

Yeah, this poll looked/looks awesome. If it does fall back in the queue of ballot polls, I propose lopping off anything that charts in balls's 70s ROCK tracks - should help separate the stripper-hair-party stuff a little I think. Also, would like to add:

Def Leppard - Let's Get Rocked

Might not be a good idea if he's doing a top 666. That's a lot of disqualifications!

Yeah, but still, I mean there is no way "Dream On" for example needs to be in this poll in the first place, let alone if it's already been in the "70s hard rock and punk that balls didn't feel like deleting from the noms" poll.

its the poll runners choice.

i think the # of shared tracks will be relatively small and those tracks will be mostly so great that it would be silly to exclude them

did strippers strip to it? I'm guessing that will be his criteria.

Vain - No Respect

jeez, nevermind guys, it was just a suggestion to keep there from being two polls with really similar results. Although I guess by the time this one comes around, the balls poll will be a few years past.

yeah by the time it has happened people will have forgotten about the 70s rock tracks poll

and the time will be ripe for me to re-poll REM in an open-nomination format!

lol @ AG being all "yup, it'll be a while since you guys will be waiting your turn in accordance with rules that clearly don't apply to me"

nice try

why should rules he or others had no input in implementing in the first place apply to him or anyone else?

not in the strip club, guys.

yeah keep the thread for what it is

it wasn't a "try" at anything, i know nothing i can say would ever have any effect on the Pollgerian Steamroller, but sure i'll keep it off this thread

i'm trying to think of any repeated behavior on ilx as pathetic as some dude's 'my heavens! a poll!' on nearly every damn poll on this board. does it ever occur to you that if you and yr dork bros hadn't spent so many years slowly killing every kind of ilm thread you do enjoy (ie 'let's sift thru what remains of dead genres like hip-hop and alt-rock') that you might get more out of the eighteen hours a day you spend on ilx? why the fuck should ag care that you hate him and his threads? and why do the mods tolerate a poster stalking and repeatedly harrassing another poster for no reason like this? good to know you'll keep it off 'this thread' though, maybe try to keep it off this board while you're at it. don't you have kids for fucks sake?

Not really seeing the "stalking" personally, and right now balls you seem way more heated up than some dude. But I am one of the "dork bros" who loves all the alt-rock threads so YMMV may vary. I do personally think that since there DOES exist the "order and timing" thread then running other ballot polls in parallel, while not really a violation of any particular rule or principle, does seem kinda annoying, like the collective generally is on board with the "order and timing" system to avoid there being eighty polls at once. I don't mind it once in a while for a big cross-artist, "genre" type poll, personally - that's not too much for me to keep up with. But I get the idea of wanting to rein it in a little and I don't think that makes somebody "pathetic."

"YMMV may vary"? okay, def time to get out of the house and face the hurricane

how's life asked not to do this in this thread so w/e i'm good

casino no offense but you have no idea wtf you're talking about and this doesn't involve you. now go listen to yr hard rock (ie wings) and punk (ie tom petty).

why should rules he or others had no input in implementing in the first place apply to him or anyone else?

dude, if i didn't know you IRL i would probably find that way more offensive and uncalled-for, and/or FP, you need to chill out

just curious why continued harrassment of ag by some dude and others is ok but 'clutter' on ilm (defined as 'o no there are threads on ilm i'm not interested in!') is an urgent matter that must be attended to

1) not seeing the harassment

2) issue is not clutter but:
a) consensus in the public realm of ILX as a commons
b) sense shared by some (perhaps not all!) posters that the value of ballot polls is for people who are interested in that music but don't know anything about it, therefore it is nice to be able to actually keep up with the threads to get new recommended listening (as i have for example from the hard rock spotify playlist, so that i can diversify my tastes beyond their apparently unacceptable bounds)
c) civility vs. taking something that was a sincere, i think mild procedural suggestion on my part and turning up the knob to flaming/yelling/Making It Personal, yes some dude called out AG by name but i think your response is super way out of proportion

consensus in the public realm of ILX as a commons - this has never existed btw beyond obv 'dealing w/ openly racist posts/posters' or 'posters hacking the coding of the board' and tbh there wasn't even a consensus in those cases

doctor casino im afraid you're just being caught in the crossfire from fallout in a couple of other threads.I dont think you're being accused of anything.

But really dont continue it here the polls threads should be fun.

I was gonna nominate some hanoi rocks but it appears I already did that 2 years ago!

also i think if a poster admits openly trolling multiple threads by another poster and admits to specifically targeting that poster as some dude has done (although he's not going to do it anymore. on this thread.) and that's harrassment and the poster targeted is genteel and blameless as ag it's pathetic.

balls can keep pissing on me if he wants but i had been pretty good about not even looking at either of your current polls much less posting on them in however many weeks since my last word on the subject so i'm not sure what we're even talking about

like yeah i'd have been better off not saying anything on any thread and my fault for bringing it up on here but fair enough, lesson learned

I have lots of hard-zinging responses to much of the above, but i will concede that this really isn't the thread for it, and that i may well be ignorant of a scorched-earth campaign by some dude, and balls probably does have a better handle than I do on message-board civility so ehh, let's either get back to the strippers or call it a night. wish me luck with the storms y'all, i'mma go bike up amsterdam to max caffe, if any of y'all are NYCers and would like to resolve this through thumb-wrestling

xxpost that kind of sums it up too i think!
