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

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?

ask crut

I am ready to choogle

i know i'm no longer managing this thread, hell i sort have been off ILM for a minute. but can someone open a new poll please? YLT won't even start results until next week. so calling:

Mordy has bowed out of "Emo/Screamo/Mallcore/(post)Hardcore" so unless someone else picks it up that one is out.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - crüt
Hard Rock/Hair Metal - how’s life
Extreme Metal - Viceroy
Stephin Merritt - Gukbe
Metallica - Pleasant Plains

I'm doing Spoon after Metallica but i just did the Boo Radleys, so i'm far from ready...

oh damn How's Life is out too so:

Hard Rock/Hair Metal - how’s life

unless someone takes it over.

I webmailed crut but he didn't answer

I just sent him a FB message.

argh! sorry. I'll get right on it!

There's a place up ahead and I'm pollin' — CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL (ILM artist poll #62) Voting open until Friday June 12, 2015

Hard Rock/Hair Metal - how’s life

unless someone takes it over.

btw gr8080 is down for this one per his post upthread

I Heard You Polling - The Yo La Tengo Poll Results Thread. (ILM Poll #61)

POLLIN' on the river — CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL (ILM artist poll #62) RESULTS THREAD

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

If that means I get to vote for Bardo Pond, yes!

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?

Metal is next yes

aaaah we are doing a half decade poll?

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

I always have a lot of fun revisiting past results so i'll be make a list of them so we can access them without having to go through searches.

isn't there a thread with links to all the results threads...?

yes, I just looked for it but couldn't find it

ILM Ballot Polls: where to find the results threads

oh great thanks

cool, we are doing the first 15 years of the 2000's, that is a great idea and i missed that discussion. late summer, looking forward to that.

so who's going to go next? I don't know Viceroy is s/he still around...? I haven't seen Gukbe in awhile either. Pplains do you wanna do Metallica?

15-year retrospective poll will be happening august/september

hate this idea so much. i wanna talk about the last 5 years, i don't wanna weigh it against Kid A or what the fuck ever.

I don't find arbitrary eras useful in general, but that's just me

yup

4th-ed

otm

Yeah tbh I'd much rather take part in a 'this decade so far' poll, I really enjoyed the 2005-2009 one and the narrow timeframe is part of what made that so fun.

I think Can and/or Stereolab should go next!

I was planning around Metallica's turn coming up in July.

I can kick it off early, but it wouldn't be until next week.

Eh that works

OK.

And if gr80, Vice or Gukbe want to step in before then, just let me know here.

The idea for the retrospective poll is about parsing the shifting tastes and impressive longevity of ilm. It's not arbitrary. What could we really learn from a 5 year poll window?

How many drake fans there are

some men just want to watch the world poll

i'm just a lot more interested in what people think of the last 5 years of new music than the tiny pointless recent shifts in how people feel about some album from 2002

excited for 'tallica!

Don't think anyone's said that in 25 years!

agreed with some dude.

Feel like there's not that much to discover about the past 5 years - the EOY polls are fresh enough in my mind at least. 15 years is kind of a "history of ILX" poll.

It looks like you, gr8080 and I are the only ones who want to do that kind of poll, so maybe we should just write a book instead.

I heart the tenties.
