1970-1979 WTF - The Hard 'n' Heavy 'n' Loud + Krautrock, Arty, Noisy, Weird, Funky, Punky Shit - Albums Poll! - VOTING THREAD! Closes Mar 8th 11.59 PM UK Time - All ILXORS/LURKERS WELCOME

hence my sub is all the usual mojo friendly suspects

was asking the others as I expected nothing less than you ;)

now, if ever there was a back handed compliment ...

have you listened to all the nominated albums you don't know? ;)
I've been trying to at least give a listen to all the ones that people went to the trouble of highlighting and doing blurbs for - think time is still going to defeat me though.

well I dont think people would like it very much if there was yet another extension..

I think mark e's ballot was the 70th btw

woo hoo ..

i feel honoured (or is that honored .. )

just a shame it was full of the usual suspects and nowt special ..

well I dont think people would like it very much if there was yet another extension..
Nah it's cool, I wouldn't ask you to do that! I will submit both ballots by Fri night one way or another, just want to squeeze a couple more new albums in first.
Speaking of which, self-title Ash Ra Tempel album is sounding pretty good right now.

It is an awesome album

btw has anyone seen the prog twins of mares nest and imago around? If there's no prog in the poll results remember to blame them!

into last 24 hours then..

and imago has voted

Voted. Will do a tracks ballot tomorrow. I invested all my time into albums, though.

seandalai checked in btw. Saw an interim top 200. Exciting! (done before sund4rs ballot) but anyone still left to vote can change things EVEN AT THE TOP. So please as many of you vote as you can. top 20s 30s 100 whatever please vote!

finally voted. my ballot is kinda horseshit; I made it up to 90

my ballot is complete horseshit; i made it up while sober

haha thanks for voting everyone! Keep em coming!

Oh crap, I didn't clock what the date was until just now. I will *try* to sort my ballot but I'm out tonight so may not get it in.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo you must vote!

Okay, I had my albums half done already, am I okay to submit that now and then do a separate submission for tracks if I manage to sort through those in time? I'd rather do it that way than risk getting neither in.

Oh good, I thought I was going to have to bribe you with multiple drinks next time we're at the same show.

That's fine emil.y! Most seem to do it that way and it doesn't cause any extra work for seandalai at all.

Thank you!

these are just songs, mind you

will you be voting?

is it due today? just did this on a break from work, but if I have some time to compile something I will

yup closes in 6 hours!

picking just one black sabbath album is impossible

You can vote for 3! or them all if you do a ballot of 100.

Those comps look tight! Video Aventures!!

votes have been flooding in since yesterday and I believe we are at 85 album ballots in.
Thanks to all who have voted and anyone who hasn't voted please do so!

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE BELOW BEFORE VOTING

You can vote for a minimum of 20 and maximum of 100 albums, But you CANNOT VOTE FOR MORE THAN 3 ALBUMS BY THE ONE BAND UNLESS YOU FILL OUT A FULL BALLOT OF 100 THEN THERE IS NO LIMITS

You can choose to submit a weighted, unweighted or split ballot. Points will be assigned as follows: Weighted: 1st choice (top of the ballot) 260 points, then 245, 235, 225, 220, 215, 210, 205, 200, 195, 190, 188, 186, 184 and so on down to 2 points for 100th place. Unweighted: Every choice gets 113 points. Split: The top portion is treated as a weighted ballot and the remaining potential points total is divided equally among the bottom portion.

But It would be good if those who don't want to rank a full ballot would still rank the top 10 or 20 then do a split unranked ballot rather than pure unweighted.
It's entirely up to you but It's helpful for avoiding ties and the top albums deserves the points. So please try and rank part of your ballot. You know it looks better when albums have a #1.

Some may want to just vote for the heaviest or 'rockingest' tracks. They may wish to vote in the style of the 80s poll. Or you may just simply want to vote for your favourite albums in the list. It's entirely up to you. Just vote please!

Please make sure you copy and paste your selections directly from the following spreadsheet: ALBUMS: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AumbddEHET5xdEZaQ0paMUZpNEdGeUdRSGRTY3BfV2c
