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

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

some dude, is Classic Rock a go during/after Dylan results?

how many get done a year?

In the early days, about 20. So far this year, four.

Those four ruled tho.

i'll check back in four years and see how the fahey poll is coming along

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)

I'm ready to start Outkast if we want to speed things up a bit? Gonna be on vacation starting in 3 weeks so I could wrap the whole thing up before I leave if I start it today/tomorrow?

I think that would be great. I don't think it would cross up tipsy on Dylan results. If anything, the Dylan rollout will draw some attention away from early Outkast campaigning, but people can deal with 2 things at once.

Outkast is go!
COS I'M COOLER THAN A POLLER BEAR'S TOENAILS — Outkast artist poll

ice polled title imo

I mean what's poller than poll?

106. New Pornographers/AC Newman - staggerlee

Can we please please add Destroyer and Neko Case to this?

NO

yeah that's silly

okay maybe as side polls?

More like a Co-Poll, considering the amount of material under consideration (which already dwarfs the Newpies catalogue even before considering AC Newman, Zumpano...)

Just as I'd hoped, there was a band named Poll ("Maybe the most famous greek psychedelic folk rock band of the late 60's early 70's era"--skip the maybe, no one's going to argue). Here they are with Ποιος Μπορεί Να Πιστέψει:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLjRw8FzqqQ

Someone should run a poll. I want to see what they name it.

The POLLingest POLL in the POLLStory of POLLS.

Not Aphrodite's Child?

i know i got Queen to do at some stage, but please also put me down for Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, The Birthday Party etc.

Dylan countdown: POLLING THUNDER REVUE: The Bob Dylan Poll Results Thread (He Acts Like We Never Have Met)

Outkast countdown: OLD SCHOOL PLAYERS TO NEW SCHOOL POLLS — Outkast artist poll RESULTS

What, if anything, will happen after that? Stay tuned!

*rolls dice* c'moooooon classic rock

^^^

yeah Classic Rock, oh wait.

77. Dinosaur Jr. - Z S

once again, i'd like to change my pick. i'd like to change it from Dinosaur Jr. to...

CAN

please. man, this is gonna be so fun in 2018

that's the rabies talking

lollll

oh man please don't drop the Dinosaur poll

yeah man leave that one be

i agree, just add CAN as well.

Yay Autechre's next!

xpost
thing is, when i volunteered to do dino jr. i was starting to get really into them and i just assumed by now i'd be an "expert" on them. but then i kind of fizzled out and i really have no business running the poll. my own ballot would be pretty lame (heavy on the S/T and YLAOM and Bug because those are the only ones i really like). i know a lot more about CAN and care a lot more about them as well, frankly.

105. Covers - kornrulez6969

This is cover versions, not album covers.

I'll try to remember to add that detail in the next full list. An album covers poll would be fun though.

Charlie, Nick Cave/Bad Seeds/Birthday Party is in at 113.

KM, Dino Jr will morph into Can.

thanks!

oh yeah

Hahah Lech.

i see what you did there!

halleluwah

a sincere response as well! don't let me miss that one.
