SNA, sometimes clicking over to a particular board. I'm often not interested/able to participate in the single artist ballot polls (my listening tends to the broad over the deep), so it's more that I glaze over the thread titles, rather than them not actually appearing when I'm online.

same tbh
another problem is that a lot of the polls I'd enjoy simply don't have an existing fanbase. I could run the world's greatest Cardiacs & Affiliated poll, but it'd have 6 voters, so there's no point. The Autechre and XTC polls are extreme rarities in that they're ILX-popular AND I am quite a fan of both. /self-indulgent moan

Albini and YMO to be added to the next full list.

Who will run Iggy/Stooges? Step right up.

We should really do a Scott Walker / Walker Brothers poll, right? I'm not sure I have the knowledge or wherewithal to do it.

Elvis is a great idea
― g simmel, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 11:20 (nine years ago) link
That'd be really interesting: no idea if the winner would be a Sun single, an early RCA single, or a late-'60s comeback single.

What's going to happen after XTC? Chic Org with a volunteer showrunner, Iggy/Stooges with a volunteer showrunner, or Boo OK and the Bee Radleys?

I think we need another Autechre poll.

someone really needs to step up and do Stooges/Iggy. i only know the Stooges and none of the solo stuff so i'm out.

I'll do a Byrds and offshoots poll which includes CSN, Gram Parsons, Gene Clark, And others I can't recall right now.

JF, no objection from me.
Leee, will your epics poll need a definitions/nominations thread? I wonder if that's something that could or should start now-ish or soonish so it's ready to go when the voting opens.
― warning, #4 can't be unseen (WilliamC), Wednesday, 15 October 2014 23:07 (nine years ago) link
WC, yeah, the parameters of the epics poll need to be hashed out and I wouldn't be averse to opening that up for debate. However, I'd like a maybe another few weeks before I go through the process of curating another poll.
― cichleee suite (Leee), Wednesday, 15 October 2014 23:42 (nine years ago) link
i can't do The Boo Radleys right now because of work. so i think that will be coming around February of 2015 after we do all the end of the year stuff.

can you move "Shoegaze/Dream Pop/Post-rock (Albums and EPs)" into that vacated # 81 spot? then can you add The Jesus and (fucking) Mary Chain into that 104 slot? thanks.
― Bee OK, Sunday, 19 October 2014 07:22 (nine years ago) link
I was just going to redo the numbering, but you want to jump 23 places in line? I'll open the floor to opinions on it.
Meanwhile, a Chic poll isn't happening without a volunteer. An Iggy/Stooges poll isn't happening without a volunteer.
― warning, #4 can't be unseen (WilliamC), Sunday, 19 October 2014 13:45 (nine years ago) link
it was not about jumping the queue, it was more about filling in the blank spot. redoing the numbering works too as it looks like those two poll will be dropped?
― Bee OK, Sunday, 19 October 2014 18:29 (nine years ago) link
lol
― mookieproof, Sunday, 19 October 2014 18:57 (nine years ago) link
so uh what's going on with the order here? The Pixies jumped 8 spots or something? I am still into doing the P-Funk poll (which will take a good deal longer than the XTC one I just did, I expect).

I'll post an updated list later today. If nobody volunteers for Chic or Iggy, they're going to the bottom of the list. And won't the Chic and Iggy fans be mad then, at something they could have done something about.

Well, write me up for a Tropicalia/MPB poll after them. I'll spend the next three years pushing brazilian music to drum up excitement and get people to vote.
