and the people complaining about lolbrits polls are the same people complaining about any old ballot poll, right?
I couldn't find this thread when I posted in the thread where we suggest/plan which polls should go in which order, but I posted an .xls which should make this polling business easier for anyone who wants to play. Yay!!

"nothing" defeated 82-19 by my count.

In that case we need to have a "something" poll

or Sandy Denny. Her oeuvre is a sprawling mess filled with side projects, appearances on others' records, one-shot bands, incomplete works, etc., and that's before we even get to her scopious role in Fairport Convention's heyday. Which of course makes for a great ballot poll.

Yardbirds, anyone? Not around for long, but as with the recently-polled Beach Boys alot of their best stuff is obscurities unknown to casual fans. Also, there have been about 25 different best-of compilations and not one is all-inclusive or well chosen IMO.

Sisqo poll would own all polls for life

^^^ OTM Sisqo poll now IMO

that would be kind of funny, when "Thong Song" got all the votes and everything else got bageled

Really surprised Jimi Hendrix's name hasn't come up on this or the order/timing thread.

well, if people thought even Zep had almost too small a catalog to poll...
― some dude, Monday, 19 September 2011 22:54 (twelve years ago) link
we need Madonna and Roxy Music in that there poll.

Pulling together all the posthumously released stuff, Hendrix's catalog gets a lot bigger, but yeah, point taken. Still, it would be interesting to see what the top 10 or 15 looked like.

the Madonna poll is cursed. don't even speak of it.
― Jamie_ATP, Tuesday, 20 September 2011 01:09 (twelve years ago) link
it really will be kind of momentous and cathartic whenever it finally happens
― some dude, Tuesday, 20 September 2011 01:16 (twelve years ago) link
surely there's been a stones poll already
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 20 September 2011 01:28 (twelve years ago) link
Not a ballot poll. These things are a fairly recent development on ILM iirc.
