ILM Ballot Polls for 2014 and beyond -- order, timing, "I would have voted if I'd known about it," etc

awesome. I'm a little jammed up this weekend but I'll try to get the voting thread opened by Sunday evening

shakey this is going to be a very tough ballot to handicap!

aw man i already used the best possible title: THE RATING IS THE HARDEST PART: Tom Petty HARD PROMISES POLL

just get to the point and poll another joint

Runnin' Down A POLL

Listen To Your Votes

Now I'm Free / Free POLLin' (Free POLLin', now I'm free POLLin')

Oh My My, Oh Hell Yes, You Got To POLL On That, ILX

you do
have
to poll
like a refugee

Yeah she POLLS so right, she is all I need tonight

And I'm a bad POLL, cause I don't even miss her

STOP DRAGGIN MY POLL AROUND

You POLL Me

Some days are diamonds, some POLLS are rocks

looks like we kept voting open for a couple of weeks on Nirvana. same sound about right for Petty?

I guess that works, but I can already basically fill out a full ballot just off the top of my head.

i'd be fine with less too, but sunday evenings are good for getting those final ballots in... hmm...

Remember that there's a huge US travel holiday this week...

true true. two week window it is.

We haven't sorted out the exact schedule for EOY yet but you have ~3 weeks before noms even open

MMM-Hmmmmmm
Whooahoooahoooo
I'm having trouble
Letting you Poll

I'M PREEE... PRE-POLLIN' - ILM Artist Poll #71 - Tom Petty (discussion/lobbying)

I wanna do a The Cars/Ric Ocasek poll. Would folks be interested?

as long as it is deep, yeah

heh

would vote early and often

lol mookie

Cars/Ric Ocasek poll sounds fantastic, especially if we can vote for solo tracks by the other Cars as well

yeah...maybe side poll of Ocasek productions too

I've got a NIN one coming up about six months I guess, but I've sort of gone off them a bit since volunteering to do it. Trouble is I'm not sure any of my alternative ideas would get enough support, to whit: Mike Patton, Four Tet, Squarepusher, Roots Manuva.

i was looking forward to the nin :(

Well maybe I'll still do it. I'll have to come up with a better title than "Head like a POLL" though.

I hate poll puns so yes

It's obligatory to include one though as I understand it.

I want to POLL you like an animal?

FWIW I love the poll puns.

they're what separate us from the animals

I want to separate you like an animal.

You Let Me SePOLLate You

YOU RANK ME BABY, YEAH YOU RATE ME 1-2 - ILM Artist Poll #71 - Tom Petty (results)

Excellent Tom Petty poll title.

So. . . what's up next?

i would be up for doing the Hendrix poll in Jan or Feb

more likely Feb than Jan so i don't care if anyone goes before me

i'm a little worried that there won't be enough interest in Bauhaus to even run a poll. so i'm asking with this reminder, this has nothing to do with the replacement band this is all about: Should the Bauhaus/Tones on Tail-Love and Rockets/Peter Murphy artist poll go on as planned?

next-level

So what's the next poll? Let's get this party started!
