ILM Ballot Polls for 2014 and beyond -- order, timing, "I would have voted if I'd known about it," etc

all righty! should we open it over the US thanksgiving holiday?

I'm into the Petty poll! Kick it off asap imo

awesome. I'm a little jammed up this weekend but I'll try to get the voting thread opened by Sunday evening

shakey this is going to be a very tough ballot to handicap!

aw man i already used the best possible title: THE RATING IS THE HARDEST PART: Tom Petty HARD PROMISES POLL

just get to the point and poll another joint

Runnin' Down A POLL

Listen To Your Votes

Now I'm Free / Free POLLin' (Free POLLin', now I'm free POLLin')

Oh My My, Oh Hell Yes, You Got To POLL On That, ILX

you do
have
to poll
like a refugee

Yeah she POLLS so right, she is all I need tonight

And I'm a bad POLL, cause I don't even miss her

STOP DRAGGIN MY POLL AROUND

You POLL Me

Some days are diamonds, some POLLS are rocks

looks like we kept voting open for a couple of weeks on Nirvana. same sound about right for Petty?

I guess that works, but I can already basically fill out a full ballot just off the top of my head.

i'd be fine with less too, but sunday evenings are good for getting those final ballots in... hmm...

Remember that there's a huge US travel holiday this week...

true true. two week window it is.

We haven't sorted out the exact schedule for EOY yet but you have ~3 weeks before noms even open

MMM-Hmmmmmm
Whooahoooahoooo
I'm having trouble
Letting you Poll

I'M PREEE... PRE-POLLIN' - ILM Artist Poll #71 - Tom Petty (discussion/lobbying)

I wanna do a The Cars/Ric Ocasek poll. Would folks be interested?

as long as it is deep, yeah

heh

would vote early and often

lol mookie

Cars/Ric Ocasek poll sounds fantastic, especially if we can vote for solo tracks by the other Cars as well

yeah...maybe side poll of Ocasek productions too

I've got a NIN one coming up about six months I guess, but I've sort of gone off them a bit since volunteering to do it. Trouble is I'm not sure any of my alternative ideas would get enough support, to whit: Mike Patton, Four Tet, Squarepusher, Roots Manuva.

i was looking forward to the nin :(

Well maybe I'll still do it. I'll have to come up with a better title than "Head like a POLL" though.

I hate poll puns so yes

It's obligatory to include one though as I understand it.

I want to POLL you like an animal?

FWIW I love the poll puns.

they're what separate us from the animals

I want to separate you like an animal.

You Let Me SePOLLate You

YOU RANK ME BABY, YEAH YOU RATE ME 1-2 - ILM Artist Poll #71 - Tom Petty (results)

Excellent Tom Petty poll title.

So. . . what's up next?

i would be up for doing the Hendrix poll in Jan or Feb

more likely Feb than Jan so i don't care if anyone goes before me

i'm a little worried that there won't be enough interest in Bauhaus to even run a poll. so i'm asking with this reminder, this has nothing to do with the replacement band this is all about: Should the Bauhaus/Tones on Tail-Love and Rockets/Peter Murphy artist poll go on as planned?

next-level

So what's the next poll? Let's get this party started!
