hate this idea so much. i wanna talk about the last 5 years, i don't wanna weigh it against Kid A or what the fuck ever.

I don't find arbitrary eras useful in general, but that's just me

Yeah tbh I'd much rather take part in a 'this decade so far' poll, I really enjoyed the 2005-2009 one and the narrow timeframe is part of what made that so fun.

I think Can and/or Stereolab should go next!

I was planning around Metallica's turn coming up in July.
I can kick it off early, but it wouldn't be until next week.

OK.
And if gr80, Vice or Gukbe want to step in before then, just let me know here.

The idea for the retrospective poll is about parsing the shifting tastes and impressive longevity of ilm. It's not arbitrary. What could we really learn from a 5 year poll window?

i'm just a lot more interested in what people think of the last 5 years of new music than the tiny pointless recent shifts in how people feel about some album from 2002

excited for 'tallica!

Don't think anyone's said that in 25 years!

agreed with some dude.

Feel like there's not that much to discover about the past 5 years - the EOY polls are fresh enough in my mind at least. 15 years is kind of a "history of ILX" poll.

It looks like you, gr8080 and I are the only ones who want to do that kind of poll, so maybe we should just write a book instead.

hmm, i can almost do Spoon, though i just finished the Boo Radleys two polls ago. if one person can go now the timing would be better for me.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 9 July 2015 01:40 (nine years ago) link
btw, can you put me down for Super Furry Animals Smashing Pumpkins at the bottom of the list Shakey?
thanks!

I haven't seen a lot of people in this section of the list in a while. Someone turn on the Batsignal.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 9 July 2015 01:43 (nine years ago) link
Viceroy hasn't posted in almost a year and a half. Gukbe's posted a handful of times in the last month.

would love to see/run a non-albums non-singles poll, like just all the shit that gets rejected from the billions of album lists out there. Soundtracks, various artist comps, best ofs, dj mixes, mixtapes, classical pieces, you name it, just no albums or singles. not sure if there would be any interest (or interest in two years when the rest of this list is done) or if perhaps one has been done and my ability to search this site is just shit.
― kruezer2, Thursday, 9 July 2015 18:10 (nine years ago) link
that's kinda broad, I would recommend doing various subcategories (soundtracks is prob easiest/would get the most traction)
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 9 July 2015 18:20 (nine years ago) link
some sort of 'classic mixes' thread would be good
― ogmor, Thursday, 9 July 2015 18:31 (nine years ago) link
srsly how have we never done a soundtracks poll
― gr8080, Thursday, 9 July 2015 20:41 (nine years ago) link
Would songs from the Singles soundtrack be counted?
― pplains, Thursday, 9 July 2015 23:01 (nine years ago) link
we'd just nominate & vote entire soundtracks, not tracks
― gr8080, Thursday, 9 July 2015 23:03 (nine years ago) link
gr80 missed it.

Is gukbe around?

hey guys if we can push the Merritt thing back (if there's any interest) a month or two that'd be great. ~work stuff~

Can we still adds poll to the (long) list? If yes, I'd like to propose a france/francophone music poll.

This is a great idea as well, a French language poll would be awesome. Also, I would fully support a Dancehall poll. I prefer genre polls to artist polls I guess.
I would definitely commit to doing a soundtracks poll, to be a little more focused is a good idea.
― kruezer2, Monday, 13 July 2015 19:48 (nine years ago) link
I'll stick francophone on the end of the list, check back in 3 years :)
