Sex Pistols "My Way" is a good 70's video IIRC
a) it is not a video, it is an excerpt from a feature filmb) you don't rc who it is by

You sure showed me.

To me it's a video.
I always felt this way, but if a segment from a feature can be shown as a stand-alone clip on TV out of context and still look like an awesome video, then why shouldn't it be? I think excluding clips from TV shows or movies limits the options way too much, especially for clips from the 60s and 70s. This would mean we can't include James Brown "Please Please Please" because it was part of a movie? That's just stupid reasoning IMO.

If the 2010's are going to be included, maybe do that one last so that more time can pass. I would vote against lumping them in with the 2000's.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:55 (1 year ago) Permalink
just my dumb opinions. ignore me
The 10's are a decade of its own but maybe we should just ignore post-2010 in these polls since it's been only two years.
― Moka, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 21:59 (1 year ago) Permalink
I was thinking, poll the other decades first.. If people want to do the 2010's by the time all the others are finished, then go for it.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 22:01 (1 year ago) Permalink
should we even bother polling the 90s when we know this video will win?

getting stoked for noms threads!!!
ok we can't all agree but how about we start with:
1st poll: 2000-Present2nd poll: 90's3rd poll: 80's
then figure out if we wanna continue decade by decade or just do a 70's and earlier thing

What you suggest sounds fine, gr80. I'm most excited about anything pre-80s but I'm happy to wait.

i doubt ive ever seen more than 20 80s music videos!! and i dont really have a good sense of music videos post like 2003 either
― BJ O (Lamp), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 23:39 (1 year ago) Permalink
I never got why people still made videos in the era after mtv was playing them but before youtube

i think allowing enough time for ppl to watch nominations they may not be familiar with will be croosh

youtube is gonna make like five million dollars off this poll
― iatee, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 23:50 (1 year ago) Permalink
Just had a thought - should we get people to just post up the short links that don't auto-embed? Otherwise all the threads will be a massive pain to load. Or should we just figure that people will know those threads are youtube-heavy and 'enter at your own risk'?
― emil.y, Thursday, 9 February 2012 00:48 (1 year ago) Permalink
short links arent a bad idea but it being a music video poll i feel like we should go w/ embeds
pr0 tip: you can always turn images off in settings to avoid loading 700 youtubes
― ⚓ (gr8080), Thursday, 9 February 2012 00:51 (1 year ago) Permalink
maybe short links in noms thread and embeds in results?
Oh yeah, I'd expect the results thread to have embeds! The noms threads will have way more videos posted, though.
― emil.y, Thursday, 9 February 2012 00:54 (1 year ago) Permalink
I agree with short links in noms...if there are multiple videos I want to watch in a thread I'll usually open them in new tabs anyway as otherwise I'll forget there's something playing and navigate away.
― two lights crew (seandalai), Thursday, 9 February 2012 01:07 (1 year ago) Permalink
embeds are gonna be a pain even in the results thread tbh - it's not that hard to click on a link surely?
how long was this era though? i remember seeing tons of music videos in the early 00s on mtv or its offshoots. can't remember when youtube really started but this must only have been a couple of years

There was that era around 2000-2005 when videos were tagged onto CD singles so people could watch them on their computer. I suppose as well it was still a necessary promotional tool for those acts who couldn't make it to Romania or wherever.

i know this only applies to the musical 1% but fwiw TRL was on the air till 2008

haha i totally looked that up on wikipedia after i posted the other day cuz i felt like trl had continued post-carson but i wasnt really sure for how long. 2008 was... much later than i had expected.

maybe now would be a good time to point out that youtube embedding sucks ass and it's not too late for the mods to overturn the dumbest decision they ever made
― Alshipleyan Goalpostmover (some dude), Friday, 10 February 2012 02:43 (1 year ago) Permalink
auto-embedding, i mean
disagree
― ⚓ (gr8080), Friday, 10 February 2012 02:44 (1 year ago) Permalink
why couldn't they make it so any image URL you post automatically becomes an image in the thread with no BBcode formatting required? that would actually be super useful all the time and wouldn't make loading threads a pain in the ass, unlike youtubes.
― Alshipleyan Goalpostmover (some dude), Friday, 10 February 2012 02:46 (1 year ago) Permalink
Any more thoughts on doing this, gr8080? If you're not up for it, I'm willing to take over... though it'd be my first poll-running experience, so you'd doubtless be the better candidate.
