The 1975 s/t is missing, which is very strange.

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?
― 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.

For your sake, I hope Neil & The Horse have good doctors on tour.

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.

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.

VU with solo careers is a great idea because the band's catalog is relatively small and the solo offshoots are kind of part of the same canon and it'd be interesting to see where they rank with the VU songs. just a Reed poll would be one thing, Reed/Cale/Nico etc. with no VU is just weird to me.

I'm alive! It's been a crazy month so far (I'm moving next week, for the first time in seven years--and definitely having some remorse about the amount of vinyl I've accumulated...), so I haven't been as present on ILM--apologies for the unresponsiveness. I'm pumped to do this poll, though, and I will design the parameters today and get everything set up and ready for launch. I honestly have no clue as to how I'm going to narrow down my own choices, and I have a good feeling this will be a lively, high-participation poll. (Speaking of which, shall I wait for the green light to post the poll itself?)

If you're planning on whetting the appetite with one of those best-album-type polls, can I suggest running a 'favourite member' mini-poll?
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 11 June 2012 15:10 (11 months ago) Permalink
I'm looking forward to it! I don't know if the Bee Gees even has a sustainable amount of ballots yet to make a rollout happen.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 11 June 2012 15:10 (11 months ago) Permalink
if you've extended the deadline and want people to keep voting you should bump the thread and update the title so that people know, I just assumed I missed the window but may try to put together a ballot this week if there's still time
― shipl.de.al (some dude), Monday, 11 June 2012 15:12 (11 months ago) Permalink
Sorry about the Bee Gees! I could certainly get my girlfriend to submit a ballot there. Ismael, I like that idea... But it's already happened:
Favourite Member Of Fleetwood Mac

Shakey Mo's last update said he had but a mere ten ballots.

Low turnout for Bee Gees is a bummer, but it would be good to get things moving again.
― Biff Wellington (WmC), Monday, 11 June 2012 15:23 (11 months ago) Permalink
Shall I wait until there's an official closing date for the Bee Gees, or should I just go ahead and roll out the Fleetwood Mac poll?
― Clarke B., Monday, 11 June 2012 16:17 (11 months ago) Permalink
I'm trying to ascertain if there are other potential Bee Gees voters who just haven't been able to yet, or if I should just call it a day and go forward with the results from the 13 ballots I have so far.
― retro-shittified (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 11 June 2012 16:47 (11 months ago) Permalink
ok, gonna keep the Bee Gees poll open until Friday in the hopes that it'll top 20 ballots

the ABBA poll had 19 ballots fwiw

I could vote in Bee Gees but I'm on the road for a long time & have no way to do any concentrated listening; do you want a top of the head ballot which will be slanted toward hits? I feel the view that the pollz are for headz & I'm def not one for los BGs but I know enough jams; don't really know the convention around here anymore
― Euler, Monday, 11 June 2012 21:32 (11 months ago) Permalink
you can just c+p my ballot if that makes it any easier
but seriously I'm for any and all votes. Don't care how long, exhaustive, or informed they are.
