i've been really hankering after a 2000s Amerindie tracks poll lately. i'd be crap at organising it, but would anyone be interested?

If that means I get to vote for Bardo Pond, yes!

so it looks like gr8080 with "Hard Rock/Hair Metal" is next? unless Johnny Fever is ready to do the half decade thing or 2010-2014?
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 17 June 2015 02:17 (eight years ago) link
Metal is next yes

aaaah we are doing a half decade poll?
― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 17 June 2015 20:14 (eight years ago) link
this list is for artist and genre polls, period polls are separate and no half-decade poll was ever proposed to be part of this list so

I always have a lot of fun revisiting past results so i'll be make a list of them so we can access them without having to go through searches.

cool, we are doing the first 15 years of the 2000's, that is a great idea and i missed that discussion. late summer, looking forward to that.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 18 June 2015 02:22 (eight years ago) link
so who's going to go next? I don't know Viceroy is s/he still around...? I haven't seen Gukbe in awhile either. Pplains do you wanna do Metallica?

Yeah tbh I'd much rather take part in a 'this decade so far' poll, I really enjoyed the 2005-2009 one and the narrow timeframe is part of what made that so fun.
― Gavin, Leeds, Thursday, 18 June 2015 16:53 (eight years ago) link
I think Can and/or Stereolab should go next!
― Falconetti Pot (Leee), Thursday, 18 June 2015 17:11 (eight years ago) link
I was planning around Metallica's turn coming up in July.
I can kick it off early, but it wouldn't be until next week.

― Οὖτις, Friday, 19 June 2015 01:05 (eight years ago) link
OK.
And if gr80, Vice or Gukbe want to step in before then, just let me know here.
― pplains, Friday, 19 June 2015 01:16 (eight years ago) link
The idea for the retrospective poll is about parsing the shifting tastes and impressive longevity of ilm. It's not arbitrary. What could we really learn from a 5 year poll window?

i'm just a lot more interested in what people think of the last 5 years of new music than the tiny pointless recent shifts in how people feel about some album from 2002
― some dude, Friday, 19 June 2015 02:26 (eight years ago) link

agreed with some dude.

Feel like there's not that much to discover about the past 5 years - the EOY polls are fresh enough in my mind at least. 15 years is kind of a "history of ILX" poll.

It looks like you, gr8080 and I are the only ones who want to do that kind of poll, so maybe we should just write a book instead.

hmm, i can almost do Spoon, though i just finished the Boo Radleys two polls ago. if one person can go now the timing would be better for me.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 9 July 2015 01:40 (eight years ago) link
btw, can you put me down for Super Furry Animals Smashing Pumpkins at the bottom of the list Shakey?
thanks!

I haven't seen a lot of people in this section of the list in a while. Someone turn on the Batsignal.

Viceroy hasn't posted in almost a year and a half. Gukbe's posted a handful of times in the last month.
― dart scar rashes (WilliamC), Thursday, 9 July 2015 01:52 (eight years ago) link
would love to see/run a non-albums non-singles poll, like just all the shit that gets rejected from the billions of album lists out there. Soundtracks, various artist comps, best ofs, dj mixes, mixtapes, classical pieces, you name it, just no albums or singles. not sure if there would be any interest (or interest in two years when the rest of this list is done) or if perhaps one has been done and my ability to search this site is just shit.
― kruezer2, Thursday, 9 July 2015 18:10 (eight years ago) link
that's kinda broad, I would recommend doing various subcategories (soundtracks is prob easiest/would get the most traction)
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 9 July 2015 18:20 (eight years ago) link
some sort of 'classic mixes' thread would be good
― ogmor, Thursday, 9 July 2015 18:31 (eight years ago) link
srsly how have we never done a soundtracks poll
