heyo, i'm doing my first ballot poll (filling in for Bee on the B-52s poll) and just wanted to check that these are the accepted ranking/scores:
Tracks:
Rank Score1 402 363 334 305 286 267 258 249 2310 2211 2112 2013 1914 1815 1716 1617 1518 1419 1320 1221 1122 1023 924 825 726 627 528 429 330 2

We use wOBA for music polls.

(i'm using the spreadsheet that's referenced upthread (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-6UZjUc-eioPify1wTOMXe_dSsjOQ6pBu0ZjT0I7CCQ) but i'm using lol numbers on my macbook so i have to make some adjustments and use vlookup i guess)
― Karl Malone, Friday, 9 November 2018 05:54 (five years ago) link
i don't know if ilx music polls are ready for the wOBA revolution
i'm going bee ok style! (1 = 50, 2 = 46, 3 = 43, 4 = 40, 5 = 38, 6 = 36, 7= 35, then one point less for each successive ranking down the list). posting it here in case some other hapless poll runner needs it in the future.

Yeah, results usually rolled out end of January

I'm suddenly keen to run a Belle & Sebastian poll at some point. Thought there was mainly antipathy on ILX, but it seems that's not necessarily the case.
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Saturday, 24 November 2018 22:46 (five years ago) link
Would definitely vote in a B&S poll.
― Timothée Charalambides (cryptosicko), Saturday, 24 November 2018 23:08 (five years ago) link
really surprised that a B&S poll hadn't been done before and wasn't even on the list of ones people were planning to run, would definitely vote
― ufo, Saturday, 24 November 2018 23:46 (five years ago) link
yeah same
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 24 November 2018 23:48 (five years ago) link
Would vote in a B&S poll!

Right now? LOL. I could quite readily, if not for the queue-jumping.

The queue is fake news.

Poor Hard Rock/Hair Metal has been waiting at the top since 2015.

Okay, if there are no objections in the next few hours I'll start a thread.

Yes! Ideal band for a poll. This is gonna be good.

So how should we kick off 2019? Anybody feel like running a poll?

AM Radio Gold - Jeff WPower Ballads - rogermexicoSongs Under 2 Minutes - Leee
Feeling one of these three ^^^^^
― zama roma ding dong (Eric H.), Tuesday, 12 February 2019 14:33 (five years ago) link
Songs Under 2 Minutes could be very inteeresting!

that does sound really fun. it would depend on a really good nomination process, but at least there's already threads dedicated to the topic that would get us started
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 12 February 2019 15:57 (five years ago) link
i thought imago was gonna run a decade poll at some pt

A good way to kick off 2020

I'm going to do the 2000-10 albums and tracks poll but I thought maybe this summer would be a nicer time for it. Maybe spring though!
― imago, Tuesday, 12 February 2019 16:43 (five years ago) link
Sorry, I mean 2000-09

I would like to do a Serge Gainsbourg poll at some point, not immediately.
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 12 February 2019 16:49 (five years ago) link
Quick scan of my files, and I've got so many great under-two-minute songs--another vote for that.

― clemenza, Tuesday, 12 February 2019 17:43 (five years ago) link
It'd also be a bookend for the long-song poll from a few years ago.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 12 February 2019 17:46 (five years ago) link
as a bonus, it would be a lot more practical to listen to the playlist of the short song countdown than it was to listen to the long song countdown.
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 12 February 2019 17:47 (five years ago) link
i would stan hard for wire in the short song poll
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 12 February 2019 17:48 (five years ago) link
yeah short songs is a great idea. Let's do it.
― kraudive, Tuesday, 12 February 2019 19:06 (five years ago) link
I was just marvelling at how great Dinosaur L's "#2 (No, Thank You)" was merely minutes ago!

leee if it ends up happening and you want any assistance just let me know
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 12 February 2019 19:09 (five years ago) link
Short songs sounds fun. It's hard to guess what the consensus favourites would even be. "Outdoor Miner"?
― jmm, Tuesday, 12 February 2019 19:10 (five years ago) link
No because the best version of Outdoor Miner is over 2 minutes
― imago, Tuesday, 12 February 2019 19:18 (five years ago) link
"Velocity Girl" and "What You do to Me" spring to mind
