Thread for coordinating the order and timing of ILM ballot polls

> 14 ballots for Pulp - 93 songs represented. Bump up those numbers! Where my Britpoppers at?

my ballot submission alone will bump that figure into the three digits....

lookin forward to the James Brown one, that should be interesting

xp I look forward to it, Lee!

lol jb poll will drive me crazy trying to listen to everything

paging strongo

As much as I looked forward to launching the Kate Bush poll next week (goes without saying), I can get behind the idea of postponing it for a period of time, somewhere between 3 and 6 months (6 seems awfully long to me, but that will be because of my brimming enthusiasm for this poll), to make it possible for all Kate Bush fans and aficionados to take the new album into account. So if others agree too, that is the way to go.

ayo when should i start the noms thread for jb poll in that case? i'm on it, if things get bumped up.

Pulp voting is in its last 2-3 days, so if LBI pushes Kate Bush back, I'd say go right ahead -- a little overlap is no prob.

Le Bateau Ivre, looks like JB is a go -- let me know where you want KB put back in the lineup.

haha whoops! misread you there. well, if lbi wants to go head with k.b. we can nuke my jb noms thread. i have the opening post saved in a word file so it's no big deal.

Well, it makes sense to hold off on KB, and there wasn't really any pushback against the idea in this thread.

this is such a weird game tonight

WmC, I'd be happy to push it back 4 months? Making it March? Can you approximate what new number in line it will be?

haha, my last post in this thread was suppose to go in the World Series (about Game 6) thread.

I think about 10 spots...? That's a rough guess. How about the new 22 between Neil Young and the Cure?

I have to run out and do a bunch of errands, so I'll update the numbering this afternoon.

VOTING EXTENDED 'TIL MONDAY MORNING FOR PULP POLL.

Why live in the world, when you can vote in a poll?

WmC, I'm good with that.

Kindly direct your eyes toward:
Do You Remember The First Poll? - ILM Artist Poll #11 - PULP - Results Thread!

Top 10 reveals this afternoon (or the next hour.. the few dedicated people playing along at home are GOOD!)

Good work with the links and the pre-numbering polls!

Got a little TextEdit file with those handy so I don't have to keep looking them up over and over now.

haha I actually wondered how you did that and figured you would need a text editor to post the same thing after the James Brown poll is done [/too much time on ilx]

Good job!

Jamie_ATP, with the bit of balloting overlap that seems to be working out well, do you want to start the Jacksons poll this week?

Having entered my 50s recently, I think there's a decent chance I'll be dead sometime before Sonic Youth and Motown come up (as long as I last until Madonna and the Velvets, I'll be happy).

Just concentrate on getting to the Neil Young poll, buddy

rip clemenza

hmm i seem to suddenly have 200000 pieces of work descending upon me at once. does anyone else fancy going next to take the pressure off a bit? chap do you fancy doing bowie next?

paging chap!

chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap

I ILXmailed him a couple of hours ago, and he's posted this morning on another thread. Maybe it's time for Lamp with the Paul Simon poll.

Nah, let the James Brown one play out first I think - my listening has felt a lot like homework over the past month or so and it'd be nice to have a break.

(trying hard to resist the urge to volunteer for a minor artist quickfire poll)

Autechre!

Great to have that list, but should the "Fifties" music ballot be rendered also?

Mainly because the result (and the Spotify Playlist) are damn fine!

Hopefully someone else can take over the Kraftwerk poll for me when it comes up. Was looking forward to it, but not enough to put up with the bullshit harrassment I've been getting on this board.

harassment about the Kraftwerk poll?

I'm not an expert on them (Only really know Autobahn and after), but I'd take over for you if you don't want to do it when the time comes. Again, this and the Clash poll is sort of dependent on somebody sending me an e-mail about the particulars of how it's all done closer to the date.

harrassment? wth?

Well, it'll be ages yet (until the Kraftwerk one)

Eh, see the 2011 year end list making thread if you are that curious. Tbh, Im just generally put off by the current tone of ilx. That other thread is making it pretty clear that the unspoken rule is "don't be offended by insults", when imho, it should be "just don't insult other posters".

can the jay-z poll be moved up in its place?

"just don't insult other posters"

What kind of utopian message board world did you reside in before arriving at ILX?

It doesn't mean he has to like it.

lol were you actually harrassed or was it just ilx?

okay i'm good to start the Jacksons poll later this week.

Maybe wait until after the EOY polls?

hmmmmmmmmmmmm yeah good point. let's do that.

I know this is a little presumptuous given that I haven't held a poll myself...

But should we try doing Spotify playlists of the final polls? Or is that already happening?

people were already doing that, but the ILX crash appears to have killed these polls dead

They're not dead, just resting. The James Brown results have gone awol, and voting for the next one is supposed to start once the 2012 poll is done with.
