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.)

a disco poll would honour both Summer and Gibb

oh too late, never mind
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.

Eno poll w/ productions would be so much more fun!

rolling out the ABBA results this week!
― yorba linda carlisle (donna rouge), Monday, 4 June 2012 16:49 (11 months ago) Permalink
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
― yorba linda carlisle (donna rouge), Monday, 4 June 2012 17:58 (11 months ago) Permalink
That'd definitely work imo. What do you have in mind? Chic, production work, everything?
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 4 June 2012 18:03 (11 months ago) Permalink
maybe limited to stuff they both were involved in? not sure yet

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.

hah at this rate i'll have two years to figure out how it'll work so i will go ahead and volunteer for it
also ABBA poll est fini, so i guess the fleetwood mac poll can start now?

For your sake, I hope Neil & The Horse have good doctors on tour.
― Hare Kinsey (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 8 June 2012 02:49 (11 months ago) Permalink
Dylan is one of about three where 20 songs will be no problem for me. Even with the Beatles, down towards the very bottom I moved from unequivocally love to like a whole lot.
ABBA will be the one poll in four where a hearse isn't close by. So yes, hang on, Neil.
― clemenza, Friday, 8 June 2012 02:55 (11 months ago) Permalink
these should all be run simultaneously, starting tomorrow
― spextor vs bextor (contenderizer), Friday, 8 June 2012 03:09 (11 months ago) Permalink
Bee Gees extended deadline is tomorrow, so I guess no need to hold off starting the Mac. I hope Shakey gets enough ballots to generate interesting results...
Donna R, you're in at #61 with the Chic Organization. Thanks for running the ABBA poll!

33. Velvet Underground solo careers - iatee
Is this VU and solo careers or just VU solo careers? Cause a Reed/Cale poll sounds like a lot of fun
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 8 June 2012 03:42 (11 months ago) Permalink
it seems a bit weird to consciously skip VU, but limiting it to reed/cale could be more concise.
― charlie h, Friday, 8 June 2012 03:47 (11 months ago) Permalink
should point out that the electronic dance music of the 00s will be happening soon-ish, and for people to vote in it.
