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

lol you didn't win that from Diamond Joe Biden in a high-stakes poker game, did you?

Veg, are you volunteering for George Michael/WHAM! poll?

Ismael Klata traded out his front-man/front-women idea and change it to this:
94. George Michael - Ismael Klata

Oh, I thought it was the new WHAM! Lineup

Make it so

It's the role I feel I can do

i would be up for doing a No Wave poll, or is that too esoteric?

i feel like that would be fun, because it's an area i've always been curious about, and theoretically it's a narrow enough categorization that i could probably listen to all the nominated records as a crash course in no wave and be able to vote.

can we skip all the polls between the next poll and my poll?

super down for no wave

too esoteric? i mean we're doing a Sightings poll...

it's pretty cool that we should be hitting the Outkast poll right around the time they'll be touring. it's fun when the timing of the polls feels accidentally fortuitous, like when the Neptunes poll went down circa the Pharrell comeback last summer.

i am not sure that raymond understood what this thread was about btw cos shorly after he said he wanted to do a sightings poll he went ahead and did this:

Who needs a clever title for vicious industrial noise rock par excellence? The SIGHTINGS studio album poll

xp

oh wait, see the last post in that thread

I'd vote in No Wave. As with all genre polls someone is going to have to do border policing.

I still think a Sightings poll is too niche for this kind of thing. I mean, only 15 people voted in a simple one-thread albums poll.

xp - I'd probably go with what is covered in the Marc Masters book and limit it to a certain time period + reissues, but no Daydream Nation or Golden Palominos from the late 80s, for example

I'd vote in No Wave. JF otm re Sightings.

Just bumping for no good reason except to say CLASSIC ROCK FUCKYEAHHHHHHHH *barfs on shoes*

"CLASSIC ROCK FUCKYEAHHHHHHHH" from me too

i just found myself waiting for the laundry to finish and listening to 'Eye in the Sky' and realizing how creepy that song sounds when you actually sing it. In other words, bring on the classic rock!

In the meantime, I think the Roxy/Ferry poll should go forward along with the classic rock poll, since some dude is going to have a period of determining the pool of songs. Charlie H, ready to roll with that?

Re: Roxy getting going now, yes please!

someone plz remind me when the steely dan poll starts

happy to kick off the Roxy poll, yeah. will put it up tomorrow morning, or possibly later this evening if i'm home.

I'd vote in a no wave poll.

Sorry if I've misunderstood how polls work. I'm a little nervous about my second sightings poll, actually - there doesn't seem to be much interest yet. Maybe I care about shit that's just too obscure for ILM?

"The Most Dangerous Band In America" - The SIGHTINGS tracks poll chatter, cajoling, and bar snacks thread

Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry is in progress, just in case there's anyone who hasn't seen it yet: Weary of the waltz and mashed POLLtato schmaltz: The Roxy Music & Bryan Ferry Ballot Poll Thread

responding pretty late, but I am big into a No Wave poll!

Perhaps this has been discussed before, but would be people interested in a DFA poll? If there is interest, I would volunteer for that.

My familiarity nosedives after a certain point, but it'd be fun to catch up on the more recent stuff.

dfa would be dope. isn't no wave just 4 bands tho? and largely one album? never knew there was more to it

i mean i guess whoever those other 10 bands were on the bill the night that brian eno went to that show? but did they ever record and didnt half of them drop off the bill? is anything known about them

I can't lie, I'm getting antsy for the classic rock poll.

Anyone know what the parameters of that is going to be? Are 80s power ballads considered classic rock now?

classic rock poll destined for clusterfuck

Are 80s power ballads considered classic rock now?

guh, I hope not.

I think some dude is planning to synthesize a master voting/nominations list from a few sources, but he's the official source for all this, so I'm speaking out of turn.

can someone stick me down at the end of the queue for a 60s rock/weird hard n heavy type poll please.)like the 80s & 70s one)
If im still alive when it comes round i'll do it,

I'd also like to to Mike Patton at some point, but already down for NIN so maybe I'll wait a few years to volunteer for that one.

If someone else wants to do Mike Patton I wouldn't mind in the slightest BTW.

I can't lie, I'm getting antsy for the classic rock poll.

i'm not gonna overlap with the "favorite albums of all time" poll that just came out of nowhere, so see ya in a few months.

ya honestly fuck that noise

that poll wont finish til end of april or something fwiw

so no reason why classic rock poll cant be done and dusted by then?

any reason why the other one didn't politely get in line like dozens of others have?

GOOD QUESTION

yeah that was a little weird now that i think about it
also i always vote for my favorites

ppl probably don't need to do much listening for a classic rock poll

any really!

I would like to know why this all time thing gets precedence.

yeah that's bullshit

I would like to know why this all time thing gets precedence.

because it was started impulsively by someone obsessed with polls

Looking closer at the S-K thread, I see I actually used something above 90 points as the floor, with 50th place having 6 votes and 97 points.
