lots of great songs only getting 3 or 4 votes. did most only send in a 20 song ballot?
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 5 December 2014 17:14 (nine years ago) link
Hey at least they sent one in!

true, tom. I thought the point of artist polls , and the reason for the queue system , was so that people take part in lots of them and try and learn about the bands during nominations and voting time. But i guess shakey was lucky 19 people did vote. deserves better than fucking xtc
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 5 December 2014 17:23 (nine years ago) link
you gonna do this the whole poll?
I mean d-if-we-do d-if-we-don't. Some of us don't have time to learn a dozen more albums worth of material just cuz ILM is having a poll.
― Vic Perry, Friday, 5 December 2014 17:26 (nine years ago) link
twenty is plenty
― Vic Perry, Friday, 5 December 2014 17:28 (nine years ago) link
I mean song choices, not total participants. But the whole "how can you possibly not know about this and still vote" thing is obviously not going to increase participation, you know?
aaaaanyway

― X-Prince Protégé (sonnyboy), Friday, 5 December 2014 17:36 (nine years ago) link
conciliatory point 1: In all seriousness, somebody who wants to, with plenty of time on their hand, should at the end tabulate a 'ultimate funkateer' songlist based only on people who sent in a 100 song ballot. I'd pay attention to the results, and go listen.
not so conciliatory point 2: Personally I don't think poll choices based on some preference you just developed in the last week should be considered as more reliable than stuff you've known for years. My 20 song ballot is based on some seriously road-tested preferences --- like, I KNOW why I voted "Presence of a Brain" because that song has stood the test of time in a way that most other "social commentary songs" have not.

Glad "Wars" made it (although I don't think I voted for it). I always wished P-Funk had done more musique-concrete-ish stuff like that and "Eulogy and Light."

Rollingstone.com has a 10 things we learned from the George Clinton autobiography up now. This one is astounding, as it could be my favorite Funkadelic guitar solo that's not Maggot Brain:
Hit It and Quit ItOne of the classic Funkadelic guitar solos wasn't cut by the band's Eddie Hazel but by a strung-out white kid who wandered into the Hollywood Sound studio in L.A. and said he would play on a track if Clinton gave him 25 bucks. Clinton liked his attitude, and let him play on "Get Off Your Ass and Jam": "We set him up, started the track and he just started to play like he was possessed. He did all the rock & roll that hadn't been heard for a few years, and he did it for the entirety of the track. Even when the song ended, he didn't stop." An astonished Clinton paid him $50, but neglected to get his name, so he was never able to use him again or credit him in the liner notes.

P-Funk is amazing but so are XTC. I voted in both polls (67 songs in XTC and 100 in this) Even though I voted for more in this one for some reason I found putting my P-Funk list together way harder. Parliament and Funkadelic are bands I've played a lot in my life but I might always struggle to remember their song titles or which song is from which album. This was a hard poll in the same way the disco and Motown ones were.
