1. pet shop boys - billy dods (Now in progress, voting closes July 2nd)2. Beatles - Mark G3. Prince - Jamie_ATP4. Madonna - Karen D Tregaskin5. Led Zeppelin - WmC6. Guided By Voices - Johnny Fever7. Kate Bush - Le Bateau Ivre8. Aphex Twin - Karen D Tregaskin9. beach boys - iatee10. Pulp - Finefinemusic
My own inclination for Zep was to allow 3 days for voting and 2 days for the reveal. Billy's 10-day vote window for PSB seems too long, but is my time frame too short?

You suggested 3 days right? I think that's too short. Needs to be a week, I think.
― ...wow! (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 23 June 2011 16:39 (1 year ago) Permalink
I was originally going to go for a week, but that would mean finishing on a Thursday/Friday and I didn't want to roll out the results over the weekend, hence my extending it a few days. I agree with LBI I think 3 days is too short.
― The multi-talented F.R. David (Billy Dods), Thursday, 23 June 2011 18:18 (1 year ago) Permalink
Yeah, I'm coming around on that, 3 days is too short. Agreed on the weekday reveal as well. Obv everybody will wing it as needed for each ballot.
― Mr. Patrick Batman (WmC), Thursday, 23 June 2011 18:28 (1 year ago) Permalink
maybe it should be up to the person in charge of the poll...people have different schedules...but 1 week max?

I'm happy w/ how organized this ended up
― iatee, Thursday, 23 June 2011 19:02 (1 year ago) Permalink
imo long voting period (although more than a week isn't necessary) and brief reveal period is the way to go

My work schedule peaked last night for a few weeks; if anybody in #2-4 wants more time, I can trade with them, but no problem staying at #5 either.
― the presidential candidate inside me (WmC), Tuesday, 28 June 2011 19:27 (1 year ago) Permalink
Can I just say somethin... Beatles poll really needs some other kind of element to it in order for it to not be hugely boring. Why not include all solo & collaborative material? like if you wanted to you could vote for "Handle With Care." that kind of thing.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 29 June 2011 18:29 (1 year ago) Permalink
Or like "Badge."

I'd be interested in a solo Beatles poll more than a Beatles poll, which feels like it's been done to death.
― The multi-talented F.R. David (Billy Dods), Wednesday, 29 June 2011 18:51 (1 year ago) Permalink
solo would be pretty interesting...

I'd prefer Beatles and solo-Beatles be separate, but whatever's cool.

Has this order been changed, and if so could a mod please let me know? If not could a mod please take a look at the rogue Madonna poll?
― Karen D. Tregaskin, Monday, 4 July 2011 14:29 (1 year ago) Permalink
I'm on an iPhone so I can't make a thread but could a mod please delete or lock this thread as it's out of order and is likely to spoil the real Madonna poll when we do it?
Madonna Tracks Poll
Thanks.

o so apparently this is the thread where a handful of aspie rubes unilaterally decided what polls are (beatles - exciting!) and aren't (madonna - a girl!) allowed on ilx and ASSUMED that the rest of ilx (the ones w/ jobs, lives, etc) would know/care/heed what the handful decided. what a fucking wasteland. bye ilx!

Who's going to do the Madonna poll now?

30 minutes is not 3 minutes, BTW and it would be really great if you could for once just keep the "OMG Masonic Boom!" jeering out of yet another thread.
― Karen D. Tregaskin, Monday, 4 July 2011 15:14 (1 year ago) Permalink
The Madonna poll is after the Prince one.
The idea of scheduling was so we're not all doing polls at the same time.
Also, that the person having put their name against an artist is sort of comitting themselves to the work involved.
I know you know this, so hey.
