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

I’m up for the Elvis one if you want

so Euler will run the Elvis poll and Moka will help with images is how i'm understanding it. it's Elvis so it should have two involved. looking forward to it you two.

Awesome. Euler as soon as you start counting ballots, Idk if you’ll use google docs or something else but share with me motelmoka at gmail.

When do we start and how many tracks will you post?

Yes! Elvis poll! I like this kind of party!!!

Let me be the first to say Change of Habit TOO LOW!

I know you mean the song, but there should also be a sub-poll for the movies.

ILM Artist Poll #90: Elvis Presley poll : general discussion and hot pictures of the King

Finally!

can we do the pre 1950s poll very soon plz?

i would be willing to run it if there's no one else available but i need to vote for this track in some poll this summer

who's this mordy person -- some games poster?

Lol

2014 was a dope year -

angel olsen - burn your fire for no witness
aphex twin - syro
fka twigs - LP1
Grouper - Ruins
St. Vincent - S/T

etc

would people be interested in a Tori Amos poll sometime soon-ish?

Oh yes. I'm very ready to vote for "Promise" and "Cloud Riders."

Pre-1950s is too much music. Still suggest doing it decade by decade, though perhaps pre-1920 would be a more acceptable start than pre-1900?

how about an american songbook poll

Personally not interested in that, sorry

ILM Artist Poll #90: 19 Elvis Fans Can Be Polled: The ILM Elvis Presley poll roll out thread

who's next? I should be able to start the Tori Amos one in ~ 3 weeks, so there's time for someone else to run one

if the current OPO thread has people excited, I could get the TMBG poll running.

oh that would be great! would really love to dig into them again

actually it might take me three weeks just to get the list of eligible songs together

Somebody run a poll pleas

I can send the spreadsheet I used to do the SP poll if you want (based on the one someone linked here a while ago) that automatically sums the results of submitted ballots instead of requiring you to manually input ballots against a master list of songs? you just need to check for spelling errors etc to prevent duplicates

i was about to start a new poll tonight, not saying which one, but decided against it and deleted the thread at the last moment. i decided to do The Jesus and Mary Chain next instead but i feel that one can't happen in the summer. i will do that one in the winter of this year, maybe after my one year anniversary of Joy Division, who knows. all my other polls are up for grabs if anyone wants to take them over.

we have only done four artist polls this year?!? anyone in the mood to start a artist poll? ILM Artist Poll #91 is on deck...

if no one else is up for one I'm ready to start a Tori Amos poll in a few days

um HELL YEAH

I’m a day or two away from being ready on TMBG but happy to step back

now is the best time I'll have to run a poll for a while, so I'll start it in a few days then. looking forward to TMBG too

American POLL Posse - ILM Artist Poll #91 - TORI AMOS - Results

Who's up?

It'd be wrong to do Low just now based on the new record just being out (and the reception it's receiving). I think it needs to be the early months of next year to have let it settle in.

My thinking at the time of squelching the 2010-14 poll was that a "history of ILM" poll would be more fun, and would've covered 2001-16 at the time. But shit, we're so close to 2020 now, we may as well wait and do the whole shebang.

IMO we should do the 2000s and 2010s separately. I think a 2000s poll would be quite a cool thing to do

cosign a 2000s poll

2000s would be cool. Let me preemptively say The Glands too low!!

Doing 2000-2019 would condemn the earlier stuff owing to recency bias. A good look back from at least nine years' remove would be much more interesting. I know we already did 2005-2009 but a) that's only half the decade and b) it is weird how time shifts opinion

00s would be pretty interesting to do but that also means finally getting through the few hundred 00s albums in my backlog lol. definitely shouldn't be combined with the eventual 10s poll.

it's funny to look at the results of the previous 00-04 poll here, obviously the board was basically a completely different place then but there's mention of The Strokes and OutKast not even being nominated, Voodoo placing next to Get Ready, lots of bizarre little things like that

ILM Top 100 2000-2004: ALBUMS

oh they did do the first half! second half was erykah badu, portishead and the knife in i think that order but lots of weird ones again there

first half top ten stuffed with radiohead, the streets and basement jaxx. safe to say it needs another look

ILM Top 100 2005-2009: ALBUMS

the second half was still before my time but it feels like the board has changed much less since then. it's a great list yeah

those Basement Jaxx albums are still fantastic and seem a little overlooked these days imo!

a lot of critically-loved stuff from those years has aged quite badly imo - anyway, someone should do it

Trying to convince myself to undertake such a thing, but I'm not there yet.

With imago on this one

Honestly 2000s seems so daunting

Find it easier to remember 2010-2014 most for some reason, possibly the insane amount of good music

a lot of critically-loved stuff from those years has aged quite badly imo

Yeah, I'd have to relisten to a lot of stuff. There's very little of what I liked during 00-09 that I feel like I can take for granted as being good now.

Yeah I'm down for a 2000s poll, even if calling it daunting is an understatement. We'd need a lot of time to go and relisten to all those albums.

Would we do songs? Albums? Both? With songs I could probably make a ballot in 2 minutes, albums not so much lol

I mean, it could be fun to dive back in, because I haven't listened to Miss Kittin or Playgroup in yeeeears, but then I'll be mad when people vote up Modest Mouse and Arcade Fire and I have to smash my phone.

nominations period might need to be a few months lol

arcade fire will certainly suffer the wither of hindsight

my real hope is that lcd soundsystem does too

Badu still better be #1 tho.
