To Poll Somebody - The Robin Gibb Memorial BEE GEES TRACKS POLL (voting thread) - FINAL DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, JUNE 15, NO FOOLIN'

I repped hard for Paradise upthread, but one more from Living Eyes is going to make my ballot: Cryin' Every Day

okay voted. How many does that make now?

bumping for more votes. I don't want this poll to die prematurely.

sorry I've been absent today, been home sick.

I got 3 ballots today, so that brings the total to 10

you started a poll which started the whole board yawning

Not yawning, it's just that an unexpected poll of a 1000-song discography didn't leave me much time to explore the deep cuts. I'll get a ballot in b4 midnite PST.

ballot sent.

ABBA did okay with 19, so maybe just leave the deadline open until you get somewhere close to that?

rly disappointed in ILM right now.

buncha jerks

Did you get the 30 vote ballot I sent? I emailed you a few times -- but don't want to keep spamming you.

VOTE BABY VOTE (unless Shakey Mo is no longer accepting ballots, that is)!

so 13 ballots received so far (m@ttw3iner that includes yrs, but I was unable to send a confirmation e-mail for some reason)

I'll keep balloting open if more people are going to actually vote and just haven't had time to compile a ballot yet

i think maybe people respond to deadlines, though? like if you set a new date and put it in the subject line, people will know how much time they have and work on it. i know that at least for me, personally, i'm not gonna take the time if there's a good chance that the poll is just going to randomly close at any minute before i'm ready.

are you referring to yrself? cuz so far people have not responded to deadlines, but maybe the ABBA poll was distracting people or something

I mean if there's another pool of voters out there I'm fine with setting a new deadline, but if there aren't then I'm not going to bother

Is there anyone upthread who's said "I plan to vote, honest" but hasn't pulled their finger out yet?

i'm speaking broadly, if you extend the deadline without updating the thread title or saying what the new deadline is, a lot of people will just assume the poll closed already or they won't have time. if you care about maximizing the # of late ballots you get at this point.

yeah yeah I know, I can't update the thread title myself so I was asking if there are actually any other people who want to vote before I set a new deadline is all

(m@ttw3iner that includes yrs, but I was unable to send a confirmation e-mail for some reason)

Great. Kickback was probably bc I was emailing my ballot from my Evernote account. I just wanted to make sure my full 30 vote ballot made it in -- after all, cutting those masterpieces from High Civilization and Magnet were hard enough!

I'm not hearing much from prospective voters aside from some dude... sooooo, let's extend the deadline to this Friday, the 15th and that'll be it.

Can a mod put the deadline in the thread title plz? thx

If you don't start voting soon, people, I'm going to post sequential photos of me disrobing. NOBODY WANTS TO SEE THAT, BELIEVE ME!

this makes me v sad

Deadline added.

(^^^entire movie is absolutely amazing fwiw, but that is the only Bee Gees song in it. He does do "Bridge Over Troubled Water" later tho)

Robin's song about his dog >>>>>> Macca's song about his dog

er, BARRY'S song

gonna vote in this & hope my deep cut #1 will place high b/c of bad turnout

entirely likely!

epic

four Andy Gibb songs on my ballot! I think all were Barry co-writes

14 ballots in so far

It will be weird if this actually gets as many ballots as Abba.

It will speak well of Shakey Mo's browbeating prowess, though nobody will ever match Armond Ratfucker.

Hey, I have been beating many a brow as well!

*Jumps on browbeater bandwagon*

only TWO days of voting left!!! OMG SO EXCITING

As it stands, is the #1 track expected or unexpected?

it is a lustrous pop pearl of the highest quality, buffed and polished to perfection

Oh great, that could be 50 different Bee Gees songs.

I guess more people should vote so the right pearl wins!

at this stage, more votes will make the lower ranks more diverse/interesting, rather than being a string of entries all separated by less than a single point. I don't expect the top 10 to change too much.

I'm sending in a ballot today. I just keep being introduced to new awesomeness by y'all.

JessF's ballot brings the total up to 15... still waitin on some dude

i'm trying man

your welcome for explaining to you how these things actually work and what would help w/ turnout though

domo arigato some dude-san

voted

16! a few more and we'll beat ABBA

we can do it you guys!!
