They Might Be Giants - Johnny Fever

I canceled this one a long time ago, but you can leave it there open for anyone who'd like to run it.

This --

There should be one of these for live albums.

― 20-lol pileup (WilliamC), Wednesday, April 26, 2017 9:24 AM (seven months ago)

does not equal this --

Live Albums - WilliamC

Take me off the list, kthx.

i added a bunch of mentions. if you don't want to run said poll, we can add "poll runner needed for this one" instead of your name.

i will take Johnny Fever and WilliamC and anyone else name off the list, next update. just ask to be removed.

icymi the ILM end of year poll is open! ILM's 2017 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / VOTING THREAD

Last chance to vote in the ILM EOY poll! Closes tonight-ish.

Alright, who's up? Does anyone feel like running a poll?

Yes!

I would like to do a poll of pre-1900 recordings. In, say, three weeks time.

Never done one before so may need some help, or maybe can figure it out myself.

I can give you a link to a Google spreadsheet that I’ve used in the past if you want it

Does anybody want to do something now? With all due respect, Pre 1900 seems like it would get 10 ballots max. Maybe I'm wrong.

I'll sit on this as a substitute Johnny

Well just to explain my reasoning, I've been making mixes for these years over here and there are full packs of mp3s ready to download, so maybe could get a little over 10 ballots. Then could do 1900s next year, then 1910s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s - think 60s onwards has been done enough.

There was a great 50's poll a few years back but we should definitely do the rest.

Anyone feel like running a poll?

i'm a bit sour on polls at the moment after Joy Division. if anyone wants to take over and run any polls i have signed up for you are more than welcome. i'm sure i will do a poll again, just nothing in the near future.

you okay man?

I could do a Kraftwerk poll soon, or Smashing Pumpkins since Bee OK isn't up for it?

im not really sure we need this whole thing anymore? interest seems to have died quite a bit and a lot of users on the upcoming list dont even post anymore. or maybe just clear the deck and have people re-sign up to run whatever.

run in reverse order for 2018 I say - get some polls ppl have recently signed up for and are actively jazzed to do, then see how that does for overall poll enthusiasm

mookieproof - yeah, baseball is almost here!

ufo - it's all yours if you want it.

Spottie - i think the interest is still there, my Talking Heads poll was in 2017 and got a huge turn out, one of the biggest ones in ILM history. i'm just a bit pissed at Joy Division. i got the ballots, more than your last poll, but i got little reaction and after how much time and effort was put into it i was upset. the votes were there but where was the reaction was my issue. (Go SF Giants)

Doctor Casino - Super Furry Animals is next then :-) talk about a very limited audience but my passion for that band is almost unmatched, only the Boo Radleys poll compares to that for me and that one was done. the B-52's would be outstanding and a lot of fun.

if ufo or someone else takes Smashing Pumpkins then i will do the Jesus and Mary Chain sometime in 2018 or next for me.

I can start the Smashing Pumpkins poll next week then to get things going

for those of you who use bookmarks, yay new poll:

POLLcelina of the Vast Oceans - ILM artist poll #87 - SMASHING PUMPKINS (voting open until 2 April 2018)

With Utopia out, I'd be happy to move to the front of the line with a Bjork poll soon imo.

please do, that would be great

No idea what etiquette is, so I'll wait at least until the Smashing Pumpkins rollout is done.

That would be great Eric!

Oh, which ends today, looks like. I'll make it a point to open that up soon.

The SP rollout started today and I think it ends on Friday.

My mistake. I thought they were wrapping up the songs but it was just albums.

That sounds great Eric, you can be poll #88. I hope there is a side poll for the Sugercubes.

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

Yeah, planning on side polling the albums + Sugarcubes tunes. But I think B-sides can be part of the main poll.

Also, something I'd been wondering about but too lazy to investigate. Has there been a '90s dance music poll?

that would be amazing

I volunteer to tabulate that one too, if not.

there's been a '90s electronic music poll, but

... not an '80s dance poll, though

Has there been a '90s dance music poll?

I seem to remember one about five years ago

I checked the results of the '90s electronic poll and it had an acceptable amount of dancey-ness in it. Probably don't need a repoll.

Excuse me, but I just have to explode this poll off me: POLL Neon Like -- ILM artist poll #88 -- BJÖRK (voting open until April 27, 2018)

... when would be a cool time to run a kylie minogue poll? i've never done one of these before so i'm a little clueless
