In the early days, about 20. So far this year, four.

i am an unpredictable Neil Young kind of classic rock pollrunner, not a corporate rock clock puncher. the label will hear the album when it's ready.

I'm ready to start Outkast if we want to speed things up a bit? Gonna be on vacation starting in 3 weeks so I could wrap the whole thing up before I leave if I start it today/tomorrow?
― Spottie, Monday, 26 May 2014 21:15 (ten years ago) link
I think that would be great. I don't think it would cross up tipsy on Dylan results. If anything, the Dylan rollout will draw some attention away from early Outkast campaigning, but people can deal with 2 things at once.

More like a Co-Poll, considering the amount of material under consideration (which already dwarfs the Newpies catalogue even before considering AC Newman, Zumpano...)

Just as I'd hoped, there was a band named Poll ("Maybe the most famous greek psychedelic folk rock band of the late 60's early 70's era"--skip the maybe, no one's going to argue). Here they are with Ποιος Μπορεί Να Πιστέψει:

xpostthing is, when i volunteered to do dino jr. i was starting to get really into them and i just assumed by now i'd be an "expert" on them. but then i kind of fizzled out and i really have no business running the poll. my own ballot would be pretty lame (heavy on the S/T and YLAOM and Bug because those are the only ones i really like). i know a lot more about CAN and care a lot more about them as well, frankly.

I'll try to remember to add that detail in the next full list. An album covers poll would be fun though.
Charlie, Nick Cave/Bad Seeds/Birthday Party is in at 113.
KM, Dino Jr will morph into Can.

Not that I'm saying the Ae poll is going to happen -- partly because of busyness, but mostly because I'm out of title puns -- but I was thinking of throwing just about everything into one single poll: Ae along with Gescom and Ae remixes, and maybe even Ae remixed by others.
