you'll be fine sarahell, the order is messed up anyways. just make sure no other poll is running, maybe bump this thread saying you are going to open it and off you go.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 19 July 2017 23:43 (six years ago) link
tbf up until recently it was still very clearly a line, and plenty of people are in it waiting their turn, just there's been some amount of ppl not being ready when their turn comes around and so we've done a bit of jumping down to ppl slightly lower in the list to respect that? i think?
― ﴿→ ☺ (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 20 July 2017 00:25 (six years ago) link
good point and i agree. we should keep the order as best that we can. there are gaps that i wish did not happen...
― Bee OK, Thursday, 20 July 2017 01:12 (six years ago) link
If I was down to run any of these I would have volunteered for a music video poll series.

They can be great, especially with acts that have huge discographies that you're not 100% familiar with. For me, the Kinks and Parliament-Funkadelic polls were momentous.
― kornrulez6969, Wednesday, 9 August 2017 00:11 (six years ago) link
who wants to run a poll? we are in need for a new poll.
i was thinking about bumping Smashing Pumpkins for my next poll but because i ran Talking Heads this year i will wait and open that Mega one around Feb of 2018. i will probably run "Shoegaze/Dream Pop/Post-rock (Albums and EPs)" since we got a fantastic new Slowdive album this year and it's my next poll on this list.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 10 August 2017 03:01 (six years ago) link
would be cool with a Glen Campbell poll

i will do Shoegaze albums this year, maybe Oct or Nov.

The rare poll where I would, at the very least, make an attempt to relisten to the two Worldwide Hits box sets I got through once and shelved years ago. I would, before I die, like to be able to say I'm a bigger fan of Elvis's music than I am of Elvis, the Guy Who Changed the World. Who I'm a very big fan of. They're not quite inseparable.

Have we not done a T Rex poll?!?
― Naive Teen Idol, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 00:11 (six years ago) link
we have not, do you want me to put you on with the next update? i do own around five albums, so i'm in.
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 00:46 (six years ago) link
Drexciya has side projects? I've got to catch up.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 01:34 (six years ago) link
I would do the poll mostly to learn - so if nobody else participates it's not a good idea - but yeah, seemingly Drexciya had a ton of side projects, and I would include them all. A lot of them relate to the Drexciya mythos in some ways. Dopplereffekt, Arpanet, The Other People Place, Transllusion, Shifted Phases, Abstract Thoughts, Lab Rat XL. And more.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 10:45 (six years ago) link
Kidding--I've never heard of Drexciya. (But then I'd never heard of Manuel Göttsching, either, until three or four years ago.)
― clemenza, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 12:57 (six years ago) link
Lol, ok :) But I seriously don't know enough about Drexciya to tell what is jokes and what is not. I would run the poll purely out of interest. And if nobody else seems to really have delved into the whole catalogue, then it's probably limited how useful a poll would be. Don't put me on yet, Bee OK :)
