I'll e-mail those guys. If they're busy, I'll just open up a voting thread; hopefully they'll be ready to count down in a couple of weeks.

Back when these artist polls were cranking up (4+ years ago, christ), it never occurred to me that voters would want long voting periods to study a discography. My own method is/was to take a day at most to refamiliarize myself with the work and do a quick 'n dirty ballot based on my opinion at the time, not to discover new opinions. I've tried the intensive study method for a few polls, and only enjoyed the experience once (Bowie). In his case, I came away with a much deeper appreciation for the artist and discovered a ton of great music. For Beach Boys, Motown, etc., it was too much like work.
One of the reasons I bailed on keeping up the list (thanks again, Shakey) is because I hate how long these things are taking now. Are we even managing one a month now?
― WilliamC, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:11 (eight years ago) link
no
― Οὖτις, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:15 (eight years ago) link
we're in a stretch of pretty niche acts for ILM with appeal to niche groups of posters who are probably not super active on ILM and so things get dragged out.
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 18 May 2015 17:25 (eight years ago) link
Speeding things up wouldn't hurt. But in defense of long time periods, by far the 2 most revelatory polls for me--The Kinks and P-Funk-- benefitted from long voting periods where I was able to fully grasp both acts genius for the first time. I'm not sure that would be the case with a more truncated approach.
We could just make sure to launch a new one every 2 weeks, regardless of voting deadlines. There would be multiple polls going at the same time, but at least it would move faster.

well Creedence is next if Crut wants to get started - they have a relatively small discography and a wide fanbase, no reason that couldn't go quickly.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:39 (eight years ago) link
I dunno, how does the chorus of "Fortunate Son" go again?
― pplains, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:40 (eight years ago) link
Once every two week seems fine to me. If one wants to speed things up, I don't mind have another poll starting now, YLT fans will be there for YLT. I don't think CCR or hair metal will take too much away from the poll.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:45 (eight years ago) link
So who's up? Is it time to bust out Cosmo's Factory yet? Or should we be reacquainting ourselves with the Def Leppard oeuvre for Hair Metal?
― kornrulez6969, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 18:15 (eight years ago) link

i've been really hankering after a 2000s Amerindie tracks poll lately. i'd be crap at organising it, but would anyone be interested?

so it looks like gr8080 with "Hard Rock/Hair Metal" is next? unless Johnny Fever is ready to do the half decade thing or 2010-2014?
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 17 June 2015 02:17 (eight years ago) link
Metal is next yes

this list is for artist and genre polls, period polls are separate and no half-decade poll was ever proposed to be part of this list so
