hey William, can you update my two mistakes when you update this the next time. somehow i dropped the names when i moved things around, so all you need to do is add these names.
45B. Velvet Underground + solo careers - Shakey Mo Collier (finished)
104. Shoegaze/Dream Pop/Post-rock (Albums and EPs) - Bee OK
― Bee OK, Thursday, 10 April 2014 01:44 (ten years ago) link
is there really no Sabbath on that list? geez louise
― charlie h, Thursday, 10 April 2014 02:03 (ten years ago) link
xp - will do
I saw some "gauging interest" ideas thrown out there since the last full list, but I think the only one that needs to be added is my poll of Beatles solo careers.
I do hope somebody will sign on for a Devo poll.

also is there an update here?
81. Sightings - Raymond Cummings

I hadn't even noticed Raymond started that poll.
I heard back from the Rev -- he hasn't been following the ballot polls closely and said that if anyone would like to take the reins on Outkast, it'd be cool with him.
― Oren Zombarchi (WilliamC), Friday, 11 April 2014 18:57 (ten years ago) link
I'll do the Outkast poll.

Cool, thanks!

I'd like to run an Erykah Badu poll.
― Cronk's Not Cronk (Eric H.), Friday, 18 April 2014 10:51 (ten years ago) link
You're on the list, Eric.
Raymond, do you want me to drop Sightings? I just don't think the support is there for a ballot poll.

Wait, did I miss the Bob Dylan poll?

No, it or the classic rock poll is coming next. I HOPE.

Can I get a mod to add "VOTING ENDS Tuesday April 22nd at Midnight CST" to the S-K thread?

Dylan next? Any objections to opening voting during the Sleater-Kinney rollout?
― objects in mirror may be closer than (WilliamC), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 17:27 (ten years ago) link
who's running that? can we have a super long voting window?
― balls, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 18:36 (ten years ago) link
I vote for super long voting window, because then it'll push back the Autechre poll and my preparation ("preparation") for it.
― Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 18:46 (ten years ago) link
I vote for a super long voting window for Dylan because of the amount of material to be re-listened (and in some cases, listened) to.
― Inside Lewellyn Sinclair (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 18:52 (ten years ago) link
I vote for a longish Dylan voting window and Classic Rock to run at the same time. I know that might be an unpopular opinion. Staggered results rollouts, of course.
― objects in mirror may be closer than (WilliamC), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 19:35 (ten years ago) link
Since the classic rock poll is formed around a predetermined list, intensive listening will be minimized (unless you've never turned on a radio or gone out in public for the last 30 years).
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 19:54 (ten years ago) link
I was thinking of rolling out Dylan nomination/voting thread this weekend, but only if Grisso doesn't mind. And I'm fine with however long a voting period people want -- 3 weeks at least, but really since I'm taking a short vacation over Memorial Day, 4 weeks would work well for me. I won't have time to tabulate and prepare results until the last week of May anyway.

You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend if you won't have time to tabulate and prepare results until the last week of May anyway.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 20:32 (ten years ago) link
XP I don't mind. I can probably start revealing my sub polls tomorrow. I don't know yet how long my main rollout will be tho.

If Dylan results are more than a month away, something really should run concurrently, and classic rock is the best option, imo.
― objects in mirror may be closer than (WilliamC), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 01:57 (ten years ago) link
If people want a quicker turnaround on Dylan, I can do that too. It would mean shutting off the poll around May 15, probably. My out-of-pocket dates are the 23rd-26th, so it'll either have to be all done by then or have the results wait til afterward. A longer one would be easier for me, but I will defer to the masses.
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 12:21 (ten years ago) link
(And concurrent with Classic Rock is fine by me, but that depends on some dude.)
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 12:22 (ten years ago) link
Dylan poll should be between four and six months long IMO, like some major medieval festival coming once every twenty-five years or something.

Kinda hoping there's a Worst Songs side poll for Dylan, and then I kinda want to poll Elton's worst against Dylan's.

Oh there will be a worst Dylan songs poll, for sure.

is something going to run along with Bod Dylan since the voting is open for such a long time. either "Classic Rock" or Outkast would work i would think. i know it was brought up already so this is more of a bump.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 1 May 2014 01:41 (ten years ago) link
I could do Outkast probably starting this weekend

Two artist polls going at once is kinda unusual though, no? Of course, I probably wouldn't be saying this if I didn't want to vote in both and was worried about dividing my attention too much (Dylan's catalogue is daunting enough to re-evaluate without throwing Outkast on top of it).
