If you need more than let's say 5 hours, I may be able to accommodate you.

sorry to be dense, but in what format should we send you our ballots? should we c&p them into the body of the email or attach them as a google doc?
― the geographibebebe (unregistered), Sunday, 29 March 2015 01:27 (nine years ago) link
C+P into an email is preferred.

couldn't plough throw as much of that playlist as i wanted/ intended to. really looking forward to the results, which will provide a more pointed & concise overview of stuff i haven't heard that i need to listen to.

I'm probs gonna know like 5% of the final rollout.

I still haven't figured out why this poll is called "Not an Epics Poll."
― jaymc, Monday, 30 March 2015 22:21 (nine years ago) link
Not all long tracks are epic.

Is it a reference to this series of polls from 2007 that I clearly don't remember at all...?

ftr I don't have a single British artist on my ballot, and I am not the least bit apologetic about this
― the geographibebebe (unregistered), Monday, 30 March 2015 22:50 (nine years ago) link
how is that even possible, we invented epic
― rock (Jack White, Coldplay) (imago), Monday, 30 March 2015 22:51 (nine years ago) link
wait nvm I went back and counted and I have 13 tracks by British artists (vs 22 by Americans). I did however manage to completely overlook the Yes/Floyd/Genesis/Crimson/Tull axis,, and for that I make no apologies
― the geographibebebe (unregistered), Monday, 30 March 2015 23:02 (nine years ago) link
oh you don't need to apologise for that; I only voted for 2 songs by those bands, both Yes, and both low on my ballot

It got called the "epics" poll as a shorthand when I first suggested polling based on track length in the queueing thread, but when we started discussing its parameters, people were constantly complaining that the time requirement left out songs that felt epic like I dunno some stupid GNR songs.

i got a lot of American on my ballot; i guess a sizeable chunk of it is jazz.

Eric, a bunch of my favorites got pushed out of the top 100 after I included your ballot. >=(
