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

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.

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.

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.

ABBA voting is open!
Don't go wasting all your ballots/Lay all your votes on me -- ILM Artist Poll #20 -- ABBA (voting thread)
It occurred to me a little while ago that Devo might be a fun poll.

Naive Teen Idol has requested that we do a memorial Bee Gees poll and I volunteered to do it (altho I am skeptical of high voter turnout) what say ye
― 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.

Shakey, you rock, btw.
Anybody mind if I just call this one #20B (B for Bee Gees, fnarr) rather than redo the numbering again?

Man, listening to Gibb songs and ABBA songs back and forth over the next couple weeks is gonna do me in with AWESOMENESS. (And then Fleetwood Mac after these.)

concluding today with videos iirc
naw, I still haven't tabulated those. Dead cat, weekend work, sleepiness, y'know.

Abba and Bee Gees are definitely #1A when it comes to fashion sense.

I'm going to run a Brian Eno poll at #59. Excluding his work as a producer for hire, but including collabs with Cale, Fripp, Cluster, etc

I'd like to do a Wire poll, I suppose at #60.

Cool! Here's a link to the results thread -- You can POLL, you can jive, having the time of your life -- ILM Artist Poll #20 -- ABBA (RESULTS THREAD)
I wish there was more Fleetwood Mac on Spotify -- I definitely plan to vote in that one, but there's a big 1969-1975 gap. Hopefully Youtube will provide.
― Trey Imaginary Songz (WmC), Monday, 4 June 2012 17:41 (11 months ago) Permalink
The 1975 s/t is missing, which is very strange.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 4 June 2012 17:43 (11 months ago) Permalink
q: i know tuomas is doing a disco poll (that i am VERY excited about btw) and that they'll probably get pretty well-represented there but would there be any interest in a chic organization/bernard + nile poll? i would be interested in running it if so

That'd definitely work imo. What do you have in mind? Chic, production work, everything?

hahaha, Spotify is such a mess...check out the "additional tracks" on the 1968 s/t -- that's where they have the 1975 album tucked away.
