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.

Yes: a thread with the final results of all the polls only (and no other comments) is a great idea. I look forward to somebody else making it. :-)

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.

I am currently reading aero's book (bought because i'm a mountain goats stan) and have been listening to Sabbath for the first time. Really enjoying them and would like to be a n00b lurker for such a poll.

Beasties/Abba/Mac is such a fascinating run because I genuinely don't have a clue what the winners will be.

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.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 17:41 (1 year ago) Permalink
Not too interested in an Erasure poll but would be in a Vince Clarke poll.

Yeah, I'd thought of that as an option too.

sorry i haven't been paying this much attention but i can still do ABBA once i figure out how to actually start and run one of these polls
― yorba linda carlisle (donna rouge), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 19:09 (1 year ago) Permalink
it's been the same template for each one more or less, right?
― yorba linda carlisle (donna rouge), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 19:10 (1 year ago) Permalink
More or less, because it works well, but it's your call really.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 19:11 (1 year ago) Permalink
I liked that once the voting opened, I had a few days to sit and ponder Finefinemusic's spreadsheet template and figure out how to shot data. I used it for the tracks voting but did albums and Most Hated by pencil/paper.

― yorba linda carlisle (donna rouge), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 19:21 (1 year ago) Permalink
OK by me! I think Johnny Fever is going to get all the way to #1 on Beastie Boys tracks today, and I think he's doing a countdown of BB videos tomorrow, but no reason not to start ABBA today. I try not to be Lord High Boss of all this stuff other than just maintaining the list, so however you want to do it is the right way to do it.

― Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 21 May 2012 17:01 (1 year ago) Permalink
Bee Gees + Gibb brothers as producers/songwriters, I'd suggest. Would vote.
― Jeff W, Monday, 21 May 2012 17:06 (1 year ago) Permalink
yeah would definitely include non-Bee Gees material, I would think there is some consensus that their chief strength is as songwriters

I just need to make sure I can finish Neil Young by late August--so should be fine. But no more major pop stars are allowed to die between now and then.
