I just did a bunch of edits and post deletions to make this thread a lot easier to scroll through in case anyone cares about rereading it. Where it was just the master list, I've deleted the post, and where there was other chat, I've edited the list out. I didn't start messing with it until posts from August, when the list started getting long and unwieldy.

NTI, are you volunteering for Bee Gees or hoping someone else steps forward?

i wouldn't have time to coordinate a bee gees poll, but somebody needs to do it.

also for dylan we should probably list the top 100, not top 50.

I agree with this, and ditto Miles. I'll probably expand ballots to 30 tracks for him and results to 75-80.

i think that for the bee gees it'd be fun to allow gibb bros songs recorded by folks other than the BGs. for dylan that would become a mess really quickly, though.

I don't want to post the whole thing too often -- makes scrolling through it all obnoxious.I might go under the hood one of these days and edit out the long list in posts more than a month old.― improvised explosive advice (WmC), Saturday, 21 April 2012 23:53 (1 week ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Would it be OK to put the 'up-to-date list' on the first message? I know it's a bit 'naughty' but when the list goes into the 'Skipping' void, we end up either having to ask for the list to be reposted, or load 1000+ messages and scrolling through.
― Mark G, Monday, 30 April 2012 09:59 (1 year ago) Permalink
That's a thought...I'd rather not do it that way, but it's a thought. It's a bit more of a pain to edit posts than to submit them. I'll try to remember to keep an updated revised list on the outside of The Void, but if I forget and the list keeps dropping in, your suggestion is a good one.

Had a brief thought that a ballot poll of live albums might be interesting, but the results might be a little predictable. Whadda y'all think?
― improvised explosive advice (WmC), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 14:59 (1 year ago) Permalink
i don't think it'd be that predictable, actually, so long as the voting base is large enough that there's a diversity of opinion.

I am inexpert on most bands' oeuvres, even the ones I like. Also, I don't care to spend the time. I might vote on HuDu if I, you know, stop reviewing films.
Still have never heard the Grammy-winning AF album.
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 16:30 (1 year ago) Permalink
I'd claim expertise on only one musical artist, and ain't no way in hell I'd start a ballot poll for him.

My ballot is ready to roll. Their catalogue is quite like Led Zep's, oddly, at least in length and self-containedness. Same string sound on the late stuff too.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 4 May 2012 14:59 (1 year ago) Permalink
ABBA is an interesting one. i think the only songs i've ever heard by them (which are pretty much all fantastic) are on the Gold compilation. and i think that has roughly 20 songs?

can you change 51 (Steely Dan) to Bee [space] OK (like 37 New Order).
