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.

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!

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.

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.
― LAST DAY TO VOTE IN 80s ROCK POLL BY... (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 20 September 2012 20:47 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― passive-aggressive display name (aldo), Thursday, 20 September 2012 21:07 (eleven years ago) link
Wonder how different the results would have been if I had gone with the 100 vote ballots :(
― LAST DAY TO VOTE IN 80s ROCK POLL BY... (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 20 September 2012 21:09 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― LAST DAY TO VOTE IN 80s ROCK POLL BY... (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 20 September 2012 21:11 (eleven years ago) link
just out of interest who would have been happy to vote for up to 100 tracks/albums?
― LAST DAY TO VOTE IN 80s ROCK POLL BY... (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 20 September 2012 21:12 (eleven years ago) link
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
― i know your nuts hurt! who's laughing? (contenderizer), Thursday, 20 September 2012 21:22 (eleven years ago) link
Submitted my tracks ballot this morning. Won't be putting in an albums ballot I'm afraid, it was just taking too long.
― Grimes, Shoots & Leaves (Mr Andy M), Thursday, 20 September 2012 21:24 (eleven years ago) link
aww you dont need to rank them. just do an unweighted ballot
― LAST DAY TO VOTE IN 80s ROCK POLL BY... (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 20 September 2012 21:24 (eleven years ago) link
could have done 100 albums I reckon. Doubtful on tracks though
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 20 September 2012 21:28 (eleven years ago) link
Contenderizer you could have done more than 50 though, right?

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

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).
― Oneohchex Point Charlie (Spectrist), Thursday, 20 September 2012 21:55 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Grimes, Shoots & Leaves (Mr Andy M), Thursday, 20 September 2012 21:57 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Grimes, Shoots & Leaves (Mr Andy M), Thursday, 20 September 2012 21:58 (eleven years ago) link
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.

tracks
From the stuff that I've heard for the first time through doing this, so far the Young Gods have been the nicest surprise. They've been a group I've been aware of and vaguely meaning to check out for quite a while now, but turned out to be considerably better & more fun than I was expecting.

ADVANCE WARNING, here are some bands that I don't much like but that I'm fairly certain will show up on the rollout:Def Leppard (sorry VG), Aerosmith, Jane's Addiction, Slayer.When these bands make their appearences, I may be unable to resist the urge to indulge in low-quality attempts at zings, but this is all meant in the interests of a fun and lively thread obvs.
