you helped make the 70s poll such a success

By my count, 31 of my 100 albums have at least one female member playing on them. Which is not, in itself, great. However, unless I am mistaken, I count three women in the entirety of the top 50 bands by band-rank.

Another good reason for the longer rollout then!
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 29 March 2013 17:17 (eleven years ago) link
A longer roll-out doesn't change the weighting of band rankings.
― emil.y, Friday, 29 March 2013 17:18 (eleven years ago) link
tbh there's loads of bands in the list that I have no idea whether there's female band members or not. There is bound to be more than we think.
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 29 March 2013 17:18 (eleven years ago) link
and so you should.Ohio Players are awesome.
Ohio Players are awesome.
yeah, I like them alright and was kind of annoyed when somebody upthread claimed that I hated them. I just thought it was funny for a while there when so many of their albums were placing close together. they don't seem to have been hurt by vote splitting as much as some other albums. It seems like there were about 16 Ohio Players fans who put all of the albums on their ballots.

Nothing sexist about this poll, Stacia in Hawkwind, there's a woman doing a great job in a rock band
― Step not on a loose unforgiving stone on a pyramid to paradise (Tom D.), Friday, 29 March 2013 17:19 (eleven years ago) link
no different to the fans of other bands who put all their albums on their ballots. Its just noticeable because Ohio Players dont generally make these polls.

Loooool.
I actually refused to count Hawkwind as having a female member, on my ballot as well as on the main list.

Hey yeah thanks for this - but i'm already on that. I meant an aggregate list of ALL the spotify playlists made for all of these running ilm artist polls. Any thread like that?

Oops My Spotify playlists, let me show you them
plus this isnt part of the series of artist polls. its a standalone poll (well, its kinda series as we had an 80s rock poll and theres gonna be a 60s and 90s poll at some point probably)
I dont know if the artist polls have playlists. you would need to ask william and I dont think hes been on this thread
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 29 March 2013 17:24 (eleven years ago) link
Alright, I mean I guess ultimately it's not really my place to say -- I'm not running or suggesting these polls because I don't really operate that way. I just felt compelled to add my 2¢ about non-Western music of all time because that is an insane amount of time and ground to cover :)

I dont envy mordy running that non-western poll!
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 29 March 2013 17:26 (eleven years ago) link
I just started one for poll results playlists, without seeing that there are others. Bugger.
What is ilx listening to? (a spotify playlist thread)
― emil.y, Friday, 29 March 2013 17:28 (eleven years ago) link
Im still surprised mordy went off his original idea of a soft rock/folk/soul/electronic 70s poll (ie stuff not included in this poll). It would compliment this poll and get a lot of participation. Probably a lot easier to manage too!
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 29 March 2013 17:28 (eleven years ago) link
I don't even use spotify, I was just trying to be helpful. Never again. *shrugs*

a soft rock/folk/soul/electronic 70s poll
No. Silly.

tom d you wont take part in any of them what do you care? you think all polls are silly!

yeah, but in reality how much pre-1950 stuff would get nominated anyway? it just seems like there are going to be some people with a really in-depth knowledge of '70s reggae, someone who's really into '60s ethiopian stuff, someone who knows about some really interesting early middle eastern '78s, etc. and it seems pointless to leave anybody out.
― wk, Friday, 29 March 2013 17:35 (eleven years ago) link
stopping at 1999 makes sense though.
― wk, Friday, 29 March 2013 17:36 (eleven years ago) link
No I don't I've told you which ones I might take part in! I did the Beach Boys and ABBA, unlikely to take part in the Blodwyn Pig/ Tucky Buzzard one tho.
― Step not on a loose unforgiving stone on a pyramid to paradise (Tom D.), Friday, 29 March 2013 17:37 (eleven years ago) link
xps I assume that crossover/Western-influenced music would dominate because that's what most people know, but it would be a fun discovery exercise imo.
― Newgod.css (seandalai), Friday, 29 March 2013 17:38 (eleven years ago) link
would latin america be included, or is that too european? can't really include music like salsa for example without allowing in a lot of records made in the US.
― wk, Friday, 29 March 2013 17:41 (eleven years ago) link
tom d you mentioned you found an old 70s ballot you never sent in. Please post it here so we can see it!
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 29 March 2013 17:41 (eleven years ago) link
the geographical/cultural boundaries of such a poll seem way harder to pin down than the timeframexp
i think latin american would definitely be included.

would latin america be included, or is that too european?why not? there is a lot about latin america that is not remotely european, don't see why not

Nah it was full of holes, lots of albums I'd obv. forgotten to put in. "Soon Over Babaluma" won it but probably wouldn't again... and "Not Available" by the Residents was in the Top 5... ummmm Beefheart did well, can't remember much else.

why not? there is a lot about latin america that is not remotely european, don't see why not
made in latin america though right? so no fania records for example.
