Yeah, and it's pretty easy to vote too. I don't own any albums by any Jackson (except for one Janet remix album) but I have/have heard so many of the singles they've released that coming up with a top 20 was no problem (and I still had to leave out 20 other tunes I love).

Gonna give this one another week to give the slackers a bit more time to send in a ballot.

Jamie_ATP, Friday, 10 February 2012 09:36 (twelve years ago) link

Thanks. Will try and sort my ballot out over the weekend. May even do some repping itt.

At the moment it's not got as many ballots as the Manic Street Preachers one, which is pretty weird.

Jamie_ATP, Friday, 10 February 2012 12:32 (twelve years ago) link

Poll fatigue?

Tuomas, Friday, 10 February 2012 12:38 (twelve years ago) link

Oops, had forgotten the deadline was today - will do my ballot now while I'm on lunch...

Gavin, Leeds, Friday, 10 February 2012 12:41 (twelve years ago) link

Can You Feel It = best song and best video.

Nate Carson, Monday, 13 February 2012 09:37 (twelve years ago) link

oh man, was thinking on saturday how bummed i was that i never found the time to send in a ballot, happy to hear about the extension (maybe you should get the thread title/OP updated w/ new deadline so people know?)

some dude, Monday, 13 February 2012 14:32 (twelve years ago) link

I voted / Bump

Jeff W, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 18:06 (twelve years ago) link

Jamie_ATP, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 18:14 (twelve years ago) link

One of my favorite Jacksons tracks, seriously:

And MJ's best outtake (beats the entire second half of Off the Wall, excepting maybe "I Can't Help It"):

torture is so incredible

Whiney vs. (BradNelson), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 18:32 (twelve years ago) link

And the song ain't so bad either.

wolf cola, everyone (thewufs), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link

definitely closing things off at the end of this friday, then results after the weekend

Jamie_ATP, Wednesday, 15 February 2012 18:56 (twelve years ago) link

16 ballots in at the moment.

Jamie_ATP, Thursday, 16 February 2012 10:08 (twelve years ago) link

16! Poor show, 2 less than the Manics. Hopefully there's a last minute deluge of ballots.

Jamie - worth asking a Moderator here to amend the thread title and first post so that the (new) deadline is prominently displayed.

Jeff W, Thursday, 16 February 2012 11:40 (twelve years ago) link

yep done, sorry should have done that before.

Jamie_ATP, Thursday, 16 February 2012 12:18 (twelve years ago) link

If this doesn't get at least 30 ballots by the end, it's time to fold up shop.

did you get my ballot, Jamie? I never got a confirmation email, & waiting is torture.

Euler, Thursday, 16 February 2012 14:45 (twelve years ago) link

sorry i've been slow processing them and replying to people, yes i got it

Jamie_ATP, Thursday, 16 February 2012 15:28 (twelve years ago) link

god you know making a ballot is hard when you find yourself cutting songs you've loved virtually your entire life

wolf cola, everyone (thewufs), Thursday, 16 February 2012 16:08 (twelve years ago) link

indeed, i wanted to vote for a few more left field choices but just couldn't take out the obvious singles

Jamie_ATP, Thursday, 16 February 2012 19:46 (twelve years ago) link

only 16?? :(

billstevejim, Thursday, 16 February 2012 22:20 (twelve years ago) link

i'm going to try to vote in this

horseshoe, Friday, 17 February 2012 03:32 (twelve years ago) link

I voted!

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 17 February 2012 03:37 (twelve years ago) link

feel like my ballot is going to be v boring and obvious because 20 tracks for jackson 5 + janet is impossible, leaving aside mj solo

horseshoe, Friday, 17 February 2012 03:42 (twelve years ago) link

here is my janet jackson challop: "rhythm nation" and "if" are essentially the same song, except "rhythm nation" is better.

horseshoe, Friday, 17 February 2012 03:45 (twelve years ago) link

I ignored the Jackson 5 utterly, which made my task a little easier.

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 17 February 2012 03:47 (twelve years ago) link

but I selected several songs by The Jacksons. Go figure.

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 17 February 2012 03:48 (twelve years ago) link

no "i want you back" no cred >:[

horseshoe, Friday, 17 February 2012 03:53 (twelve years ago) link

xxxp If gives you the Gap Band, Rhythm Nation gives you Sly Stone. you win either way.

gospodin simmel, Friday, 17 February 2012 10:24 (twelve years ago) link

I ignored the Jackson 5 utterly

what the... but how... but...

plee help i am lookin for (crüt), Friday, 17 February 2012 10:26 (twelve years ago) link

I didn't get a confirmation email, should I have done? If not I can just re-send my ballot.
