I'm going to have to bow out of the Hair Metal poll (again). I'm cutting down my ilx usage for the near future, mainly by not posting/reading from work, and really won't have the time to run a poll/do the roll-out. Sorry y'all.

― kornrulez6969, Monday, 27 April 2015 17:52 (nine years ago) link
If mookieproof and van horn street are ready to look after the threads (I'll do the images), I'm okay for Yo La Tengo...although #66(6) is ahead of us.
― clemenza, Monday, 27 April 2015 17:59 (nine years ago) link

Hey plz remove me from the queue- I don't have time to run a poll atm and when I do I think I'll run something outernationally not mallcore.

Mookieproof? VHS?
― clemenza, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 01:23 (nine years ago) link
Very excited about the prospect of a Yo La Tengo poll.
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 14:12 (nine years ago) link
ok - YLT is next then unless someone says otherwise. Removing mordy's screamo/mallcore poll from the list.

Back when these artist polls were cranking up (4+ years ago, christ), it never occurred to me that voters would want long voting periods to study a discography. My own method is/was to take a day at most to refamiliarize myself with the work and do a quick 'n dirty ballot based on my opinion at the time, not to discover new opinions. I've tried the intensive study method for a few polls, and only enjoyed the experience once (Bowie). In his case, I came away with a much deeper appreciation for the artist and discovered a ton of great music. For Beach Boys, Motown, etc., it was too much like work.
One of the reasons I bailed on keeping up the list (thanks again, Shakey) is because I hate how long these things are taking now. Are we even managing one a month now?
― WilliamC, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:11 (nine years ago) link
no
― Οὖτις, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:15 (nine years ago) link
we're in a stretch of pretty niche acts for ILM with appeal to niche groups of posters who are probably not super active on ILM and so things get dragged out.
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 18 May 2015 17:25 (nine years ago) link
Speeding things up wouldn't hurt. But in defense of long time periods, by far the 2 most revelatory polls for me--The Kinks and P-Funk-- benefitted from long voting periods where I was able to fully grasp both acts genius for the first time. I'm not sure that would be the case with a more truncated approach.
We could just make sure to launch a new one every 2 weeks, regardless of voting deadlines. There would be multiple polls going at the same time, but at least it would move faster.
― kornrulez6969, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:36 (nine years ago) link
well Creedence is next if Crut wants to get started - they have a relatively small discography and a wide fanbase, no reason that couldn't go quickly.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:39 (nine years ago) link
I dunno, how does the chorus of "Fortunate Son" go again?
― pplains, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:40 (nine years ago) link
Once every two week seems fine to me. If one wants to speed things up, I don't mind have another poll starting now, YLT fans will be there for YLT. I don't think CCR or hair metal will take too much away from the poll.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:45 (nine years ago) link
So who's up? Is it time to bust out Cosmo's Factory yet? Or should we be reacquainting ourselves with the Def Leppard oeuvre for Hair Metal?
