No, the version I voted for is the correct one. Just regretted not being able to vote for Ashby.

Gotcha.
Five songs have points from four different artists! Only one of those five songs is in the top 15!
― WmC, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 15:44 (five years ago) link
Gonna have to scramble. With a few exceptions, probably going to vote for mostly obvious stuff, especially early stuff on Scepter, especially if Paul Griffin is on it.

Your daily reminder to vote! With a low turnout, everybody who votes can be sure their ballot will carry a lot of weight.
― WmC, Wednesday, 8 May 2019 15:46 (five years ago) link
Okay, thanks. Slowly compiling a ballot.

I count a dozen or so unballoted posters upthread who said they'd vote or vaguely indicated interest -- please give a few minutes to hammer out your ballot! NV, Morbs, rushomancy, Euler, Darin, et al...

One of the weirder bootlegs in my music collection is Zumpano on the radio on “Burt Bacharach” night in 1999 playing:
24 Hours From TulsaAnyone Who Had A HeartWhat The World Needs NowAlways Something There To Remind MeMy Little Red Book
It’s a fun listen if nothing else, and I can’t remember where I got it.

OK, I have a better sense of my work schedule (I hope). The thing is, my work client has newly-discovered cancer and is putting 95% of her time and attention into dealing with that, so a big project that should have been finished on the 1st isn't getting finished until next week. My part should be mostly done by Monday, fingers crossed. So I'm calling a hard deadline on ballots: MONDAY, MAY 13th by end of day. I will work on tabulations and artwork Tuesday and roll out results starting Wednesday.
Sorry this is dragging out past a month, I hate it when these polls do that. But you have plenty of time to vote!

I have a job application and a ballot scheduled to do tomorrow/Sunday, hangover permitting. Might well just vote for the songs rather than versions tho

91 years old today! (or whenever Sunday arrives in the western hemisphere anyway)Nice Guardian article btw.

Interesting article!
I am pretty sure I could stay cool and collected in the presence of any individual but Dionne Warwick would be the exception. "Anyone Who Had A Heart" is just the greatest song

Ballot #15 received and added to the spreadsheet.
I just want to say that one of these years real soon, Burt's going to die and somebody's going to say "hey we should do a ballot poll in tribute" and I'm going to be real tempted to ban that fucker if stet doesn't catch me and unmod me first.
Pretend he's dead now and vote in the memorial poll!

One song has points from seven different artists, still not enough to push it into the top 10.

OK, no ballots came in overnight so this dish is DONE with 17 voters. Thank you to everyone who sent in a ballot! I could start the results right now if previous polls hadn't raised the graphics game so high.

A sense a bit of perfectionism in you, not unlike Mark Hudson.

for my part, I don't ever look at the graphics in poll rollouts, with images off.
― L'assie (Euler), Tuesday, 14 May 2019 12:18 (four years ago) link
OK, I don't see any reason to delay the results, but I'm still waiting on a big work dump that is 2 weeks late at this point. If it comes in today, I'll have to pause the rollout and give 100% attention to that.
