the trane record placement is prob the craziest to me still
― D-40, Sunday, 28 August 2011 01:55 (thirteen years ago) link
and thrust and wes ...
you should see what missed out
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Sunday, 28 August 2011 02:01 (thirteen years ago) link
a) were you expecting ppl to vote for 20 trane albums
b) the whole premise of this poll is insane, though props to kerr for trying; it is too huge and precious few voters (eg me) have heard enough of these enough times to constructively vote
c) very looking forward to checking out some new stuff, but i don't think bitching about the rankings is gonna get us anywhere
d) sorry i hate jazz guitar (should try again) so wes/grant's placements are partially my fault

If you haven't heard Sharrock's Guitar, let me recommend it with his quote in mind: "I consider myself a saxophonist with a very fucked-up axe."

tbf to deej he's not bitching, he knows what polls are like. but i dont blame him for being baffled at the low placement of the trane album. but it's an ILM poll, you know these things happen!
Also i think 1 or 2 did vote for (nearly) all the miles or trane albums.

Anyone want to predict the top 10/20? Then we can compare the guesses when the poll is done and see who was closest.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Sunday, 28 August 2011 02:40 (thirteen years ago) link
As somebody already said, Kind of Blue is a strong favorite for number one
― Don't ask for the steening, ask for the HOOS (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 28 August 2011 02:46 (thirteen years ago) link
In the top 10 (or at least top 20): Love Supreme, Kind of Blue, Silent Way, Black Saint, Evans @ Village Vanguard, Brilliant Corners, Shape of Jazz to Come, Out to Lunch. Maybe Spiritual Unity? Anyway, I expect like most polls it'll get less interesting near the top. Already d/l'd that Clifford Brown from emusic, I can tell this list is going to give me a lot to dig into.

didn't vote obv, but KoB is one of the few instrumental records out there that I can sing along to. every lick has been etched. thanks, high school band nerdery

Have ended up embracing the fool's errand white elephant nature of this poll and think ILX- centric voting can only help. I like jazz and that is the kind of music I go to see most often live but, for good or for bad, I never really listened to it, um, systematically, the way I did rock music way back in the day, when I spent an entire weekend listening to every minute I could of The Beatles A-Z on WNEW-FM or would read something like Stranded over and over and try to seek out every single record in there. As somebody already pointed out, it is relatively easy to have listened to the entire recorded output of one or many of the big sixties rock bands and have an opinion, whereas with jazz the career of even Miles Davis is hard to enough to keep track of, let alone, say, Duke Ellington or all the other hundreds of important musicians, so an ILX poll is as good as any angle to try to approach it.
