ILM Ballot Polls for 2014 and beyond -- order, timing, "I would have voted if I'd known about it," etc

Wait, did I miss the Bob Dylan poll?

No, it or the classic rock poll is coming next. I HOPE.

Can I get a mod to add "VOTING ENDS Tuesday April 22nd at Midnight CST" to the S-K thread?

Ghost Mod has acted.

Thanks!

Dylan next? Any objections to opening voting during the Sleater-Kinney rollout?

who's running that? can we have a super long voting window?

I vote for super long voting window, because then it'll push back the Autechre poll and my preparation ("preparation") for it.

I vote for a super long voting window for Dylan because of the amount of material to be re-listened (and in some cases, listened) to.

I vote for a longish Dylan voting window and Classic Rock to run at the same time. I know that might be an unpopular opinion. Staggered results rollouts, of course.

Since the classic rock poll is formed around a predetermined list, intensive listening will be minimized (unless you've never turned on a radio or gone out in public for the last 30 years).

I was thinking of rolling out Dylan nomination/voting thread this weekend, but only if Grisso doesn't mind. And I'm fine with however long a voting period people want -- 3 weeks at least, but really since I'm taking a short vacation over Memorial Day, 4 weeks would work well for me. I won't have time to tabulate and prepare results until the last week of May anyway.

You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend if you won't have time to tabulate and prepare results until the last week of May anyway.

XP I don't mind. I can probably start revealing my sub polls tomorrow. I don't know yet how long my main rollout will be tho.

I stand with WilliamC

now face west

If Dylan results are more than a month away, something really should run concurrently, and classic rock is the best option, imo.

If people want a quicker turnaround on Dylan, I can do that too. It would mean shutting off the poll around May 15, probably. My out-of-pocket dates are the 23rd-26th, so it'll either have to be all done by then or have the results wait til afterward. A longer one would be easier for me, but I will defer to the masses.

(And concurrent with Classic Rock is fine by me, but that depends on some dude.)

Dylan poll should be between four and six months long IMO, like some major medieval festival coming once every twenty-five years or something.

Sleater-Kinney results: "I'm The Queen of Rock and POLL!!!!!!"_ILM Artist Poll #51_SLEATER-KINNEY_ RESULTS THREAD

Just to clarify--I'm sure you got it--my Dylan post above was meant as a joke.

Kinda hoping there's a Worst Songs side poll for Dylan, and then I kinda want to poll Elton's worst against Dylan's.

just throwing this out there

cuz I love Dylan but man do I hate some of his songs

Oh there will be a worst Dylan songs poll, for sure.

rereading this for ready reference: What is the worst ever line from a Bob Dylan song?

OK, going live on a Saturday night for all you shut-ins:

It's a Wonder We Can Even POLL Ourselves: The Bob dang Dylan Thread for Nominating, Balloting, Competing, Beating, Cheating, Mistreating and Talking That the Heat Put Plants in the Beds, But ...

Will have a first-take ballot to you within 30 minutes.

is something going to run along with Bod Dylan since the voting is open for such a long time. either "Classic Rock" or Outkast would work i would think. i know it was brought up already so this is more of a bump.

I could do Outkast probably starting this weekend

Hot Bod Dylan

You may call me Bod, you may call me Zimmy

Two artist polls going at once is kinda unusual though, no? Of course, I probably wouldn't be saying this if I didn't want to vote in both and was worried about dividing my attention too much (Dylan's catalogue is daunting enough to re-evaluate without throwing Outkast on top of it).

i gotta clarify that i def can't do oasis, sorry- back at college and still settling in to a more hectic work schedule. iirc someone else had volunteered to do it if i pulled out

At this pace you can get your doctorate before Oasis comes up.

lol, no kidding.

I wish I could vote in a Billy Joel poll TODAY RIGHT NOW

Sooner or later, you'll feel that momentum kick in.

it just may be a billy joel listening thread you're looking for -- and that could happen at any moment if i'm reading the tea leaves correctly.

I'm already on deck for two more polls lol but...

would there be any interest in a Native Tongues poll?

yeah

i am an unpredictable Neil Young kind of classic rock pollrunner, not a corporate rock clock puncher. the label will hear the album when it's ready.

(that's not a "no," though, I will say the outlook is good, I'm just not going to make any promises that could still be broken)
