So, what's next?
― 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
yes 66. Emo/Screamo/Mallcore/(post)Hardcore - Mordy is next
although idk if Mordy is aware of this
― Οὖτις, Monday, 27 April 2015 18:03 (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.

I'll e-mail those guys. If they're busy, I'll just open up a voting thread; hopefully they'll be ready to count down in a couple of weeks.

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?
― kornrulez6969, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 18:15 (nine years ago) link

i know i'm no longer managing this thread, hell i sort have been off ILM for a minute. but can someone open a new poll please? YLT won't even start results until next week. so calling:
Mordy has bowed out of "Emo/Screamo/Mallcore/(post)Hardcore" so unless someone else picks it up that one is out.
Creedence Clearwater Revival - crütHard Rock/Hair Metal - how’s lifeExtreme Metal - ViceroyStephin Merritt - GukbeMetallica - Pleasant Plains
I'm doing Spoon after Metallica but i just did the Boo Radleys, so i'm far from ready...
― Bee OK, Thursday, 28 May 2015 02:18 (nine years ago) link
oh damn How's Life is out too so:
Hard Rock/Hair Metal - how’s life
unless someone takes it over.
