some dude, is Classic Rock a go during/after Dylan results?

how many get done a year?

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.

105. Covers - kornrulez6969
This is cover versions, not album covers.
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 10 June 2014 19:03 (ten years ago) link
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.
― Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Thursday, 12 June 2014 17:45 (ten years ago) link
Notes on Eno: Eligibility for the tracks poll will include solo albums and collaborations (Eno/Cale, Eno/Hyde, Budd/Eno, Eno/Wobble, etc) and also albums by groups that Eno was a member of. So, Passengers is included, Harmonia '76 is included, the first two Roxy albums are included. But the nature of his collaborations churns the question of eligibility a bit.
Should Bowie's Berlin Trilogy be included? Should More Songs About Buildings and Food, Fear of Music and Remain in Light be included?Should James' Wah Wah be included? Should only the songs Eno mixed be included?
--------------------
Meanwhile, can we have Classic Rock?
― no matter how crabby of a mood I’m in because of the New World Order (WilliamC), Sunday, 15 June 2014 14:39 (ten years ago) link
