That's really depressing. Maybe the sheer volume of their discography was indimidating. I bet more ballots come in today

You're gonna extend the balloting period and you know it.

the thing is, with year-end polls coming up I don't really have a lot of leeway here...

XP You could perhaps extend voting through Thanksgiving weekend at least. Having a results rollout thread run against EOY polling/noms/lobbying shouldn't be that big a deal.

fwiw that track meets the "features 2 or more members of P-Funk members" rule
in case anyone else wanted to vote for it...

I think the sheer volume of material makes it a near impossible task...did the best I could but would of taken weeks to get a definiti list...

Don't think about it so much, guys. Poll your way out of your constrictions. Throw 20 songs on a ballot and GO.

yeah really
it's not like we're voting in an actual election here

I don't change my practices.

ok so who needs more time for a ballot then

I'll give you a 25-song ballot within a couple hours. Maggot Brain fans aren't going to like me.
― Eric H., Friday, 21 November 2014 22:58 (nine years ago) link
yeah this is so daunting. i'll see if i can throw 20-30 together tonight.

Can I vote for "Who Says A Funk Band Can't Play Rock?" 100 times?
― Don A Henley And Get Over It (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 21 November 2014 23:39 (nine years ago) link
yes but it will only be allotted 1 point apiece
― Οὖτις, Friday, 21 November 2014 23:46 (nine years ago) link
I know it's late to ask, Shakes, but can I send you a ballot tomorrow? I have been completing doctoral examinations this week and have had no time to put a serious effort into assembling a ballot even though I've been awaiting this poll for at least 2 years.
― Chuck Eddy. He's a people. (thewufs), Saturday, 22 November 2014 04:10 (nine years ago) link
My ballot's in. Disco-funk forever.

Is there still time to submit a ballot? I somehow missed this.

Oh cool. I got stuck in the company of some real Sir & Madam Nose D'Voidoffunks this weekend, so my listening was limited. I was album to get my copy of Osmium out of storage, so there's a impending vote for "My Automobile".

wait... did you get an e-mail from me that I received your ballot? cuz I don't think I saw your username in any of the ballots I've received so far.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 24 November 2014 19:28 (nine years ago) link
only 17 ballots in so far
Only? That's pretty good is it not? Don't know what the average is though.

XTC poll had almost 40

can't find my VU/solo poll results but that was also around 40 ballots iirc
― Οὖτις, Monday, 24 November 2014 20:55 (nine years ago) link
Pretty sure I participated in a poll which didn't make double figures ... Abba maybe?
― Letsby Avenue (Tom D.), Monday, 24 November 2014 20:57 (nine years ago) link
feel like we should at least have more poll participants than band members lol
― Οὖτις, Monday, 24 November 2014 21:11 (nine years ago) link
So you're looking at three figures then?
― Letsby Avenue (Tom D.), Monday, 24 November 2014 21:12 (nine years ago) link
Stevie Wonder had roughly 20 or 30 I think.

Already said on the Funkadelic album thread, but the new Funkadelic album is out on itunes now. Three goddamn CDs, 3 1/2 hours. Features twice as much new Sly Stone material as Sly's own botched comeback album from a couple years ago. Just purchased it - verdict still pending.

curious to hear what you think of it
I guess the only remaining holdout is Grisso...? once his ballot is in I'll get the results goin
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 16:27 (nine years ago) link
I've got a bunch of work today, but I have done most of my listening already, so I should have a ballot ready tonight or in the morning at the latest.
― Don A Henley And Get Over It (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 18:12 (nine years ago) link
Great, we've been standing on the verge of getting this poll on for long enough!

Hey I sent a ballot but didn't get an email back- not sure if I followed procedure correctly.

Not participating (as usual) but this will be my favourite rollout since the classic rock poll. And can I just use this space to tell the dream I had last night, in which Sly Stone and Bootsy Collins were at my parents' old house, attending my dad's Grey Cup (the Super Bowl of Canadian football) party? Nobody but me knew who they were, dunno who invited them, they just sat beside each other at a far end of the couch. Sly was looking pretty thin and greybearded. I went to my old bedroom to find some albums for them to autograph, and got irritated that my Sly and Funkadelic albums were all messed up, with Tower of Power and Frank Zappa and Ted Nugent vinyl in the sleeves instead. Eventually I realized that I could sort the vinyl out later, but by the time I carried the sleeves downstairs, the game was over and everyone was leaving. Sly and Bootsy had already left. (I hate football anyways.)
