Thanks! 12 hours left to vote!
Seandalai are you around? Anyone seen viceroy?

time to update S/N

Could a kindly mod edit title to (CLOSES 11.59 PM UK TIME please?

might do a top 150 for tracks. Will all depend when I get the results though.

Got a ballot from someone I didn't expect, thanks! Maybe we can get over 70 ballots?
Getting 80 ballots for an 80s poll would be awesome, please vote!

tracks ballot in! must now finish re-arranging deck chairs on the sinking Titanic that is my album ballot.

How many tears have you shed?

album ballot in!

How many tears have you shed?

ha, more like stomach-churning and vertigo. always a good time when you spend way too fucking long finding a slot for record, only to realize when you go to vote that you haven't actually nominated it (High Rise II, fuck it). a lot of the records I voted for aren't going to place, though, so w/e.

good poll, though, so thx.

*a record

Mine is in now. Wish someone had nominated The Ex's 'History Is What's Happening?' and a bunch of others but nothing I can do about it now!

ranking is the road to madness, sitting here trying to figure out a basis of comparison for the cows' daddy has a tail and killing joke's night time

I drove myself mad trying to rank albums so I just went unranked for tracks. Life's too short.

This was almost the most fun part of the voting process for me.

Apparently, I overrated Zen Arcade though. I seem to actually prefer Warehouse.

usually I'm not too bad at ranking stuff but a disproportionate amount of my favorite albums of all time are in this poll. horror film poll was tough but this is insane.

it's easy to rank the ones you're \m/ about ...but it's harder for the stuff that falls in the middle

fyi gun club's "sex beat" is on the nom list twice

Just voted, hope I'm not too late.

Do we still have another week for albums or is the deadline for that today as well? I can hammer out a tracks ballot in an hour, but albums will take way more work.

deadline is today for both, afaik.

yeah it's today as seandalai isnt always around and I'd rather make sure we have the results ready to go than place extra pressure/hassle on him.

voted!

glarg, so much missing from tracks noms, my own fault tho

band of susans - birthmark
bauhaus - terror couple kill colonel
big black - racer-x
big boys - history
birthday party - release the bats
black flag - I've heard it before
black sabbath - the mob rules
cop shoot cop - eggs for rib
live skull - I was wrong
swans - time is money (bastard)

birthday party - release the bats

Aye, I noticed that was missing myself but it was too late to add

78 albums ballots in!

52 tracks ballots plus 2 people voting for "FREE PUSSY RIOT". You wacky kids

swans - time is money (bastard)

I almost nominated this track, but I had already nominated four others. didn't realize that I'd be the only person to nominate any Swans, though. might be a total wipeout f/Swans tracks.

Need to come up with thread titles for the results. So far we have

"Call The Waaahmbulance - its the 1980s Rock poll results"

"Butthurt Surfers - The Albums I Didn't Vote For Have placed Too Low - 1980s Rock Poll Albums Results"

"Yay Rockism - The 1980s Rock Poll Results"

Any suggestions?

speaking of wipeout...

no poll puns!

it takes a nation of algerian goalkeepers to hold us back

be best to use the same title for the nominations, voting, youtube and results threads, so this stuff can be located in the future

he nearly said pollkeepers til i stopped him in his tracks

erm i assume you're taking the piss knowing fine well emil.y resigned so i cant use her name

No, you can't fucking nominate REM!

joeks

lets get to 80 album ballots!

time is money (80s poll results)

I still like Asbestos Poll Asbestos though.

DJP and JJJ nominated but haven't voted. Dont think mr fever has voted either or mr ellison

poll art threat!

nothing will have the impact of one year calling the results 'Jizz & Poop'

there, you've got your stinking ballot, happy?

doesn't really work as a title.

remember voting closes 11.59 uk time That's just under 3 hours from now.

no slates in albums or tracks list, what a disaster for ILM

I WANT YOU...TO WANT ME?

REMEMBER TO USE SPREADSHEET FOR COPYING AND PASTING NOT THE LIST AT TOP OF THE THREAD

All votes for N.W.A. wont be counted. Dont waste seandalai's time.

erm i assume you're taking the piss knowing fine well emil.y resigned so i cant use her name

no, i meant no dig on that level. just appreciate consistency in naming, where possible. makes searches easier.

xpost okay wait what? if it's on the voting list it gets counted, otherwise what the hell are we doing here

I think having 1980's rock poll in it will mean its easy to find. but i cant use the nominations thread titles incase of offence.
