I'll try to remember to add that detail in the next full list. An album covers poll would be fun though.
Charlie, Nick Cave/Bad Seeds/Birthday Party is in at 113.
KM, Dino Jr will morph into Can.

Not that I'm saying the Ae poll is going to happen -- partly because of busyness, but mostly because I'm out of title puns -- but I was thinking of throwing just about everything into one single poll: Ae along with Gescom and Ae remixes, and maybe even Ae remixed by others.

Notes on Eno: Eligibility for the tracks poll will include solo albums and collaborations (Eno/Cale, Eno/Hyde, Budd/Eno, Eno/Wobble, etc) and also albums by groups that Eno was a member of. So, Passengers is included, Harmonia '76 is included, the first two Roxy albums are included. But the nature of his collaborations churns the question of eligibility a bit.
Should Bowie's Berlin Trilogy be included? Should More Songs About Buildings and Food, Fear of Music and Remain in Light be included?Should James' Wah Wah be included? Should only the songs Eno mixed be included?
--------------------
Meanwhile, can we have Classic Rock?
― no matter how crabby of a mood I’m in because of the New World Order (WilliamC), Sunday, 15 June 2014 14:39 (nine years ago) link
no to all of those imo
― polyamanita (sleeve), Sunday, 15 June 2014 21:52 (nine years ago) link
OK maybe the songs of Remain In Light w/co-writing credits
― polyamanita (sleeve), Sunday, 15 June 2014 21:53 (nine years ago) link
i like the idea of a poll of everything Eno ever touched as a producer or whatever, but it seems like that is not the concept of the poll and it's more about his solo stuff and bands, and it's not like we didn't have a Bowie poll and don't have a Talking Heads poll scheduled down the road.
― some dude, Sunday, 15 June 2014 21:57 (nine years ago) link
yeah leave that for side poll, maybe most 'eno' not officially eno tracks so you can add 'unforgettable fire', 'lemon', whatever else to the pile as well. would leave actual eno tracks poll to stuff that has his name on the spine. personally i'd probably have the roxy tracks in that side poll tbh. i can see other arguments though.
― balls, Sunday, 15 June 2014 22:45 (nine years ago) link
Here was my thinking: Passengers and Harmonia '76 tracks should be included in the main poll, imo. I couldn't see any way to include them and exclude the two Roxy albums, even though Roxy has just been polled. But Roxy through an Enocentric lens looks different than Roxy through a Ferrycentric one, so I think that'll be fine. I've been kinda resistant to the idea of lots of side polls, but "best track Eno was involved in that isn't under his name as artist or producer" might be a good one. "Best Eno Production" will be one -- albums, not tracks.

DON: We watched the rise of Cheap Trick, and were especially pleased after their Budokan album that their songwriting chops were as good as their live chops. To see a good band writing good songs with interesting characters get hits after KISS made it look easy gratified us.
GLENN: How many times were Henley and I in situations where the chick said "I want you to want me"?
DON: Well, yeah.

OK. Should I drop it entirely or does someone else want to take that one on?
Should a single-artist poll run concurrently with Classic Rock? I don't know how long a nomination period some dude has in mind, then add 2 weeks for voting and a week for results...
― no matter how crabby of a mood I’m in because of the New World Order (WilliamC), Wednesday, 18 June 2014 12:56 (nine years ago) link
Voting should start next week, I think. Seems fine to have a single artist poll overlapping imo.
