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

Stirmonster I don't know the results but I'd be surprised if metal was the dominant genre but who knows what will be in the poll.

yup. genuinely excited to see the results.

the answer to crut is probably jjj nominated it instead of nominating dead kennedys

damn.

hasn't this thing closed yet.

i.e. bravo to AG for working this poll harder than any other poll on ilm ever ....

i mean, even i f*cking voted.

not that i had a choice in the matter.

I think we all know what is quite likely to be top 50 but there will be surprises I'm sure. There is always some incredibly unexpected high placings and stuff that is expected to be top 20 but misses out completely. It is really hard to tell what will be in an ILM poll as there are lots of big posters on here who do not vote in polls but people associate them with ilx taste. Some fans of genres just dont vote either (see extreme metal fans)

AG = a one man campaign machine

mark e you love the 80s and the thirlwell fan in you made you vote. of course you had no choice!

I just wish I could have the results at midnight to start the countdown right away!

the big question is
will the goth brigade have turned out in numbers?

or the hair metal crüe?

or the rivetheads?

oooh AG .. you gave my limited options of choice away !

I hope people realise this closes at 11.59 UK Time and not american time.

i.e. 10 minutes from now .......

ish

I suppose anything can be counted until seandalai has started tabulating but he could do that without having posted here.
It could be tonight it could be sunday - who knows.I'm just thankful he is doing it for me and I think he deserves all our thanks for doing it!

What email address do we sent ballots to?

I hope people realise this closes at 11.59 UK Time and not american time.

hey, I did not realize this. AG, can you plz update the thread accordingly if voting is extended at all?

start work on yerballots they will be counted if you get them in before seandalai tabulates and hes not likely to be doing that at midnight,

kornrulez its a voting form not email

so yeah get to work and tell me when you've done it guys.

Are you guys voting?

I'd like to, yeah, but I won't be done w/ work til 8-8:30 US Eastern. If it's still open by that point, I'll submit one.

submitted.

Warehouse: Songs and Stories - wtf how did this not get nominated?

Also, no Walk Among Us by The Misfits? For shame.. lol I whine, but I didn't nom anything, so I really shouldn't complain (not that that will stop me from doing so, mind)

that misfits album is there

use the spreadsheet not the list at the top

hey i voted btw people

guess who hasn't jjj

just sent an unweighted tracks ballot.

just submitted mine.

AG/seandalai - I messed up & forgot to denote that I want my tracks ballot split, not weighted all the way. I did include a space where I want the division to start, though, so it should be fairly self-evident. thanks!

Alright, just submitted my tracks ballot

oh can I still vote? I will do that before bed

haha okay I voted

skipping this one

there def should be 80 albums ballots

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

I didn't nominate this because I wasnt sure if it qualified as a track or an album; had I, and had it gotten approved, it definitely would have been my #1 pick

DONT YOU BLOW YOUR TOP

i would like to encourage anyone left that hasnt voted and doesnt like the awesome stuff i like to accept that it is too late for u. people that will vote for foetus and big black however should vote as many times as your sockpuppets allow.

you can save us all from 14 sonic youth tracks in the top ten! rock the vote!

you will all weep when Def Leppard & Maiden sweep this poll fyi

i have absolutely no idea what to expect from this poll. except for Daydream Nation winning. and SST for the rest of the top 5.

But I have no idea what's going to be #22, and that's what keeps me hanging on...

daydream nation winning = the tin-eared indie terrorists have already won

not heard from seandalai so all your votes will count. Thanks for voting!

I can't wait to see the results! No idea who even won!

Hey, I'm on a superslow Internet connection here and can't get to Google Docs. Can I send the results on Saturday?

Pillbox - I'll sort you out

so do we have a rough idea of total numbers of ballots? Sounds like it was a roaring success!

you will all weep when Def Leppard & Maiden sweep this poll fyi

I was thinking afterwards that while I voted for several Maiden tracks, I didn't rank them highly enough. And somehow Number of the Beast slipped off my albums list when I made the final cut, which is criminal.

The real crime, though, is that I didn't listen to You're Living All Over Me before voting.

daydream nation winning = the tin-eared indie terrorists have already won

It's actually kind of funny for me to think of DN as an "indie" album, considering what the term usually refers to these days. I know it's about as indie canon as it gets.

it was too indie for me. i bought it the day it came out and took it back to get a refund the next day thinking "why did they have to go so indie?"

DN was the only SY album I voted for, being the limp-wristed indie fop that I am.

seandalai sure that's fine. Thanks!

seandalai do you want me to save the google docs stuff to an .xls and send you that?
