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.

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

Trux is at #90, so not until late 2015 or early 2016 at our current pace.

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.

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.

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!

Who's going next? I can't tell from Leee's cryptic posts whether or not he plans to do an Autechre poll at all. Does Donna Rouge post here anymore? Does Elvis T have time to tackle Spacemen 3? Radiohead? YLT et al while Clemenza's on summer break?

Well, whoever wants to go next can probably get rolling -- maybe Monday? Eno is finishing today, and Classic Rock voting ends Tuesday. That would put the next voting period during Classic Rock rollout, finishing afterward.
