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.
(the list in progress)

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.

Five of the next six of these will be of extreme interest to me. Looking forward to a hot summer.

Whoa, Neil Young is going to be a tough row to hoe.

thankfully Bruce, Stax and Pink Floyd polls are spaced far enough apart so as not to kill me dead. But omg

A bad pun is close enough. What musical ballot poll would tempt you to vote, Herr Doktor?

Arcade Fire

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.

Donna Rouge, ABBA voting on Monday? Crüt said he's wrapping Depeche Mode results tomorrow.

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).
thanks

Kinda want to run a Beastie Boys poll and maybe cut in line (after ABBA) if no one objects?

i have a request: a (wmc?)-curated thread that contains nothing but the results to each poll and perhaps a link. cause they can be hard to find in a 5k-post results thread.
