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.

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.

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).

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

I was going to ask for someone to jump ahead--I can't start until school lets out at the end of June--so that would work out well for me.

ILM Ballot Polls: where to find the results threads
― improvised explosive advice (WmC), Monday, 7 May 2012 12:33 (1 year ago) Permalink
No one's proposed a Black Sabbath poll? It'll be interesting to see their playlist at their Birmingham show on May 19th. Anyone going? Does someone have to die in order for the Sabbath poll to be slotted after Beastie Boys? Hopefully Iommi will pull through, though Bill Ward's health is often touch and go. For the record I would like for none of them to die.

I'm thinking about taking over the music video poll idea from gr80 - would you guys mind this being a stand-alone set of polls, or would you prefer if they were queued with the artist polls? I don't really take part in single artist ones so I don't suffer from music poll fatigue, but I don't want anyone else to feel too burdened by pollage...
(Also, if anyone wants to offer to help me out, as I've never run a poll before...)
― emil.y, Sunday, 13 May 2012 15:32 (1 year ago) Permalink
I think that one would be fine, preferable even, outside the list of artist polls and could be started anytime. It's a bigger, broader category, like postwar jazz albums or the entire decade of the 1950s. Just my 2 cents.

lol this is the first time I've ever opened this thread and GD that's a long list. So I was going to offer to do one for Erasure but I don't know if there'd be enough interest or if it would wind up just me and Abbott voting tbh. Hmmmmm.

Not too interested in an Erasure poll but would be in a Vince Clarke poll.
