Here's a bold, bold suggestion while we're seemingly experiencing a lack of "I'm ready to go" bids...
I'd be happy to run a Prefab Sprout poll ASAP seeing there's some interest! (Assuming triggercut wasn't actually offering to run it, of course. I couldn't tell for sure.) I've favoured a quick turnaround on polls in the past and could again get it all done within a few weeks. I could even start immediately, but am mindful of the EOY metal poll still needing some space.

I'd definitely be interested in a Prefab Sprout poll.
― kitchen person, Saturday, 15 February 2020 04:01 (four years ago) link
:)
No-one wants to veto the suggestion? triggercut? Okay, how does a rollout around the Monday March 9rd sound? (~3 weeks.) I'm guessing that would be well after the metal poll. I'll create a thread shortly if there's still no objections. (A thread with regular reminders to vote in the metal poll as first priority. LOL, I really want to see a Venn diagram now.)
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Sunday, 16 February 2020 23:25 (four years ago) link
^ March 9th, obviously. No prizes for guessing what date I changed that from.
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Sunday, 16 February 2020 23:30 (four years ago) link
Metal poll rollout will be next week unless disaster befalls seandalai so no reason why you guys cant start a poll as soon as its done.
Thanks for considering us btw. Appreciated.

well, when i say next week i do mean in a weeks time it starts!
― Oor Neechy, Sunday, 16 February 2020 23:34 (four years ago) link
Word. I'll revisit when metal voting period closes.

i'm thinking about running either the Shoegaze poll or the New Wave poll this summer, which should i do?Shoegaze! Shoegaze!
Shoegaze! Shoegaze!

shoegaze
― kraudive, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:19 (four years ago) link
i think shoegaze is a good one to do this year, as it will mark the 10 year anniversary of Moka's tracks poll. i won't redo tracks fully but have an idea for a side poll with those results.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 27 February 2020 02:11 (four years ago) link
anyways, i think it's time for a new poll as the Metal poll is almost over and we can open a new poll as those results finish.
who is ready?
― Bee OK, Thursday, 27 February 2020 02:12 (four years ago) link
I've been ready for some weeks with Prefab Sprout. Can start literally immediately if there are (still) no naysayers.
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Thursday, 27 February 2020 04:01 (four years ago) link
^ Maybe a slightly 'niche' artist but I never can tell with ILM. Anyway, that's why I offered to get it done soon and efficiently, while others decide on follow-up polls.
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Thursday, 27 February 2020 04:09 (four years ago) link
go for it!
― ufo, Thursday, 27 February 2020 04:16 (four years ago) link
Okay, I'll post a thread...
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Thursday, 27 February 2020 05:29 (four years ago) link
Up at the plate. I don't know them but will follow along.

I have not been keeping up, but if there have been any polls here since Go-Betweens a couple months back, we should update it here:ILM Ballot Polls: where to find the results threads
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 27 February 2020 18:33 (four years ago) link
There was Cat Power and then the noughties decade poll. I think the latter is the only one not mentioned there.
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Thursday, 27 February 2020 22:05 (four years ago) link
Ten years. Oh my god. I think I suggested back then that we should do another poll, but for albums/EPs instead of tracks - I can't remember if that's what this poll is supposed to be.
― the salacious inaudible (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Friday, 28 February 2020 23:29 (four years ago) link
Yes, you can see on the above list that it will be for Albums/EPs this summer hopefully. i will do some sort of side poll with the tracks results that we got from Moka's part.
― Bee OK, Friday, 28 February 2020 23:36 (four years ago) link
So, is anyone close to ready for the next one? I'll hopefully have rolled out the Prefab poll by the end of next week.
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Wednesday, 11 March 2020 00:05 (four years ago) link
I could push Underworld out if nobody on the queue wants to leap into action.

Do it!
― groovypanda, Wednesday, 11 March 2020 09:58 (four years ago) link
Yeah, do it! (I'm not really qualified to vote, but I'd like to see the results!)
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Sunday, 22 March 2020 01:17 (four years ago) link
I probably should have added that this one is over and no longer any sort of impediment:
I POLLED the Megahertz - ILM Artist Poll #100 - Prefab Sprout - RESULTS
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Sunday, 22 March 2020 01:20 (four years ago) link
I'm a massive Underworld fan and still extremely daunted at having to try and whittle down some favourites from their extensive library xp
― groovypanda, Sunday, 22 March 2020 07:11 (four years ago) link
Let's nudge the thread for a couple of days in case anyone who's been on deck for a while gets prompted: I'm ready to roll on Underworld, but have the 2019 film poll going on ILE right now, so want to stagger them a bit anyway. (Being locked inside for months is probably the best time for folks to try and figure out which of five nine-minute versions of different songs are their favourites, to be sure.)

Heh I think the shoegaze poll was one of my first polls so there’s no images, some of the winners don’t really qualify as shoegaze (not my fault! That’s on voters) and I broke the usual tie system into a weird one, I’m sure there’s plenty of mistakes too.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 23 March 2020 06:33 (four years ago) link
I mean it wasn’t strictly a shoegaze poll...
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 23 March 2020 06:39 (four years ago) link
Grisso / McCain? sarahell? Eric H.? crutis?
― Dollarmite Is My Name (sic), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 17:53 (four years ago) link
i'm so busy at work right now that i can't do anything. work in prescription drug industry. my next poll will be shoegaze albums...

I won't run Cardiacs and such until LSD is a vain hope tbh

I mean, that would be rad.
Well, I had wanted to run it in September (see upthread) but I've got fuck all going on rn, and I have lately been digging into my Hendrix stuff (currently spinning Electric Ladyland).

Should be wrapping up the Hendrix voting this week. Anyone interested in doing images for the tracks rollout?

i could try to find some images on the web but i have no clue how to integrate them with the poll & track information.

I can do them with the caveat that while I can sling shit together, I am not a good designer.
