1980'S ROCK POLL ALBUMS/TRACKS VOTING THREAD. (Voting closes September 20) (all welcome to vote inc Lurkers)

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.

because i made it clear that nwa would not be counted as theyre not on the spreadsheet. some idiot nommed them for a joke and it snuck in. it will not count and tough shit for not following the rules.

I followed the linked spreadsheets off the voting page, NWA was on there

but whatever, don't count it

as we drift towards another clusterfuck, I'll just take the opportunity to let you know that I was only kidding w/you @ the REM.

it's not a clusterfuck, i was just confused as usual

swans - time is money (bastard)

i nearly shed a tear when i saw that wasn't there.

it's not a clusterfuck, i was just confused as usual

lol @ me for straight "out of" compton

but I will say for the record that this is one of the most nebulous, mystifying polls I've participated in, lol. I haven't participated in many though so that's not really saying much, hahah.

it's an exciting adventure!

xpost god bless raoul

nominations were open like 3 weeks. It's a pity I had to deal with trolling and joke noms otherwise I might've noticed myself.

btw Im not sure when results will rollout as it depends when seandalai sends me the results but if i get them before monday i will extend the rollout and start early. if i get them overnight I'll start tomorrow. If I get them saturday i'll start on saturday. in other words i hope to stsart before monday but fuck knows if i will.
Also still not heard from viceroy if he still wants to do it so it looks like im stuck with it.

rocky was just plain trolling. he sneaked it in. And because of that i might swap all nwa votes for danzig TO TEACH HIM

He's pretty familiar with your brand of fascism, I doubt he'd be surprised :D

just keep emailing him youtubes of the evil elvis

stirmonster has the poll made you nostalgic like it has for a few others?

I really have no idea what has won and I cannot wait to see the results. Wish I could do them myself.

It seems like forever since I voted. Because I was so brutal I have not looked at them since so I can't wait to see the results, particularly since Leichenshrei would probably have been top 10 for me too.

Wonder how different the results would have been if I had gone with the 100 vote ballots :(

and yeah it seems ages since I voted. I can remember what my #1 was but not the order of the rest. And I bet there's stuff I didn't vote for that I thought it did.

just out of interest who would have been happy to vote for up to 100 tracks/albums?

could have done it, sure, but my first cut got me down to fewer than 100 for both tracks and albums, so it would have been stretching things

Submitted my tracks ballot this morning. Won't be putting in an albums ballot I'm afraid, it was just taking too long.

aww you dont need to rank them. just do an unweighted ballot

could have done 100 albums I reckon. Doubtful on tracks though

Contenderizer you could have done more than 50 though, right?

oh, sure. i at least like most of what was nominated, tbh.

no account for spreadsheet so copied off here

u have to include nwa

im guessing whoever put nwa here thought it 'rocked'

AG's not known for his calm, rational logic

but I voted for all the Def Leppard I could find so put that in yr pipe and smoke it (ducks)

Voted! Ranked tracks, unranked albums seemed the way to go, fairly stress free. Kinda skewed punk on tracks and metal on albums. And can I say my left hand devil horns are appropriately sore (from furious copy-pasting).

OK in the spirit of fully joining in the fun I've submitted a quick unweighted ballot featuring 27 of my fave albums from the list.

Tracks ballot is the full 50 and much more considered & wide-ranging 'cause I managed to listen to quite a lot of the tracks that I'd not heard before. Still unweighted though.

stirmonster has the poll made you nostalgic like it has for a few others?

not really as i reckon i was born without a nostalgia gene and still listen to most of the things i nominated fairly often. i was a big nwobhm fan from the age of about 12 to 13, and i did get an odd twinge of nostalgia for that stuff on the list as i only ever dig out my girlschool, angel witch etc. records about once every 5 years if i'm very drunk.

but, i did find this poll experience (which i don't usually partake in, hence missing the nominations thread) very thrilling, even though i am convinced when i see the results it will appear as if it is a metal poll.

I think we might have reached the 80 ballots mark for albums!
ONE HOUR OF VOTING LEFT
