"Voter 17 gets tickets to Cheap Trick on this Block Party Weekend!"
― Damnit Janet Weiss & The Riot Grrriel (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 16 June 2014 00:27 (ten years ago) link
DON: We watched the rise of Cheap Trick, and were especially pleased after their Budokan album that their songwriting chops were as good as their live chops. To see a good band writing good songs with interesting characters get hits after KISS made it look easy gratified us.
GLENN: How many times were Henley and I in situations where the chick said "I want you to want me"?
DON: Well, yeah.

Can you imagine getting stuck listening to an Eagles "Block Party Weekend Six Pack"? People lived like that for years.

Classic Rock has been delayed long enough, hell it even got another "best of" poll canceled.
― Bee OK, Monday, 16 June 2014 02:02 (ten years ago) link
looking forward to a Monday for once.
the other poll had to die.

If only we could have a thread-specific autoreplace that changes "Sway" to "Riad n' the Bedouins"...

totally fuckin stoked for classic rock canon obviously, and i say this as a man who completely bogged down in his plans to follow obsessively several of the last couple of results threads - but this, THIS i will set aside days for, i will set alarms for.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 16 June 2014 05:10 (ten years ago) link
otm
i am committed to 100% world cup. and classic rock.

Amazed we've got this far without a Can poll. And Arthur Russell.

I'd been waiting for a giant sandbox to be installed in my living room, I wanted to be able to feel sand on my feel while running the poll
― some dude, Monday, 16 June 2014 13:16 (ten years ago) link
what's the matter, sh1pley, got sand in yr feel?

I'll run an Arthur Russell if there's sufficient interest.

CLASSIC ROCK TRACKS POLL parking lot tailgate pre-party -- nominations, discussions, parameters, etc.

I want to withdraw from Royal Trux

OK. Should I drop it entirely or does someone else want to take that one on?
Should a single-artist poll run concurrently with Classic Rock? I don't know how long a nomination period some dude has in mind, then add 2 weeks for voting and a week for results...
― no matter how crabby of a mood I’m in because of the New World Order (WilliamC), Wednesday, 18 June 2014 12:56 (ten years ago) link
Voting should start next week, I think. Seems fine to have a single artist poll overlapping imo.
― some dude, Wednesday, 18 June 2014 12:58 (ten years ago) link
when is Royal Trux supposed to run? I might be able to take that on if it's after July.
― polyamanita (sleeve), Wednesday, 18 June 2014 13:38 (ten years ago) link
imo no harm in keeping the single artist polls running concurrently with genre/category polls
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 18 June 2014 13:56 (ten years ago) link
Trux is at #90, so not until late 2015 or early 2016 at our current pace.
― no matter how crabby of a mood I’m in because of the New World Order (WilliamC), Wednesday, 18 June 2014 15:05 (ten years ago) link
I could start Eno today or tomorrow (busy with work now but will be pretty free in a couple of weeks when it's time to count), but Leee is ahead of me with Autechre and I want him to have first shot if he's ready to go.
― no matter how crabby of a mood I’m in because of the New World Order (WilliamC), Wednesday, 18 June 2014 15:15 (ten years ago) link
I'll take the Royal Trux then xp

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, 19 June 2014 18:06 (nine years ago) link
so this mean Brian Eno or Chic Organization is next, nice.
― Bee OK, Friday, 20 June 2014 01:11 (nine years ago) link
OK, I'm going to try to get Eno going today.
― WilliamC, Friday, 20 June 2014 14:19 (nine years ago) link
hell yeah

Somebody point me to a poll that used a 30-track ballot -- I don't want to have to figure out the points from scratch.
― WilliamC, Friday, 20 June 2014 14:27 (nine years ago) link
Check that -- I'm just going to make it the standard 20.
― WilliamC, Friday, 20 June 2014 14:34 (nine years ago) link
It's just like the 20, but tracks 21-30 just dip into single digit values.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 20 June 2014 14:35 (nine years ago) link
Oh yeah, that's right. (Been a while since I've done one of these!)
― WilliamC, Friday, 20 June 2014 14:37 (nine years ago) link
oh please do 30 for Eno!
― polyamanita (sleeve), Friday, 20 June 2014 15:07 (nine years ago) link
stax was 30 iirc

Generative polling -- no two ballots are alike, 77 million combinations, etc etc -- Dead Finks Don't Vote — ILM Artist Poll #55 — BRIAN ENO
