Unknown POLLsures

POLLing yourself with a washing line in the kitchen

... Again

Is the West Experiencing a Left-Wing Drift?

bc it is clearly not

ooo i have a good thread for u

A thread about once critically-lauded artists (based on their first album or two of releases, or however many), only to then release an album or two (again, whatever the amount) of mostly-shit output, thereby losing goodwill among critics and fans alike, only to then release, to you, a brilliant comeback album release (but at that point, no one longer gives a shit.

how has this not been posted here already

that is truly dismal

'acclaimed artist turns shit then releases great album' there eight words bam done

'nuke ilm from orbit' got it down to four

Bang Bang You're Dead... POLL In Your Head - ILM Artist Poll #87 - SMASHING PUMPKINS - Results

Awful

US Politics, June 2018: This is a total goat rodeo.

I don't know the origin of "goat rodeo" but it seems like one of those DOA phrases someone on twitter thought was funny and that a bunch of other tweeters memed

I'd never heard it before, but it seems to predate Twitter.

“Goat roper/rope” and “goat rodeo,” as well as several other variants (“goat dance,” “goat screw”), are apparently all euphemistic forms of the original slang phrase, which involves the venerable “f word” and is close to another variant, “goat raper.”

Thought we agreed that the monthly trump threads were taken as read itt

Goat ropers need love too.

When will y'all realize that Marissa Nadler is the nu-gothique schnizzle?

Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - Blood Lust (One of the best rock albums this year)

stop telling me what to think ffs

it doesn't have "POLL" in the title, can't be that awful

Jesus -- I really do, now, doubt humanity after coming to find that after six or seven or whatever years of ILX, that there is no specific (Clan Of) Xymox C/D thread.

this perennial least fave is back in SNA:

I have had it up to here waiting for the Beatles catalogue to be remastered

especially since it's now been several years since the beatles catalogue was remastered, and now the thread will be devoted to nitpicking those remasters until the beatles catalogue is remastered once more

acknowledging that there wasn't already a thread for the topic in the thread title is my biggest forums peeve

as someone that cares about threads and thread titles, i find that kinda cute tbh

I have nothing against Creedence, but I really hate this thread title

If you actively dislike Creedence Clearwater Revival, then I can never respect anything you have to say about anything.

noize borad aesthetic continues to suffer in so-called 'twenty tens'

Aussie/Kiwi Guitar Pop- The scenes that just keep giving and giving

still waiting to find out if anyone's heard of spotify

maybe if it were NSFW

Spike Lee: Dud or DUD?!?

This title just reminds me of that Simpsons episode where he was on the spaceship full of crap people heading for the sun, and much like that episode I do have to wonder whether a white director with as many brilliant films under his belt would get this kind of treatment.

QUICKLY what is your favorite album released in the year of your birth?

sorry but that QUICKLY is anxiety-inducing and pointless and grinds my gears

Yes, why must it be quick? I want slow discussions of things, just firing things out without context is pointless listcruft.

Why are Japanese films so terrible?

They're generally not, you're obviously terrible, 'Pete'

It isn't that part of a series? French, Italian, whatever?

Probably, it's just dispiriting that particular thread has been the main nexus of debate.

What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

^ always bums me out because AOC is awesome and sometimes I just want nice things to be nice, and I know the title wasn't meant in a sexist way, but it kinda makes me feel icky because so often prominent women in American culture are criticized and attacked for way more petty bullshit than men are, and this thread title reminds me of that fact.

it was changed for precisely those reasons! then the pedants came out.

What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

i automatically think there’s a clusterfuck going on in that thread when I see it revived PRECISELY because of the title

sarahell, maybe you can start a new thread and see if that moves folks off it?

ok i've remembered the worst one

there is not one album in existence that better on CD than on vinyl is there?

That fkn Beatles thread man, constantly reliving a first world problem from 2005

Ebay Fever!`

I keep wanting to rub that little mark off my phone screen.

Why is everyone not going totally bonkers about the junior boys?

Yeah the extremely wordy titles with multiple negatives and posed as questions make me IA.

I feel like if we had a word count of every thread named in this thread, the super long ones would probably be disproportionately represented relative to their absolute number on ILX, but then again, I could see it being a pretty even spread, IDK but someone should definitely not waste their time doing that: C or D?

Lol

So, Does Everyone Hate Cass McCombs?

Well played Doc.

oh that actually is a link to the actual thread lol
