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

I'M PREEE... PRE-POLLIN' - ILM Artist Poll #71 - Tom Petty (discussion/lobbying)

I wanna do a The Cars/Ric Ocasek poll. Would folks be interested?

as long as it is deep, yeah

heh

would vote early and often

lol mookie

Cars/Ric Ocasek poll sounds fantastic, especially if we can vote for solo tracks by the other Cars as well

yeah...maybe side poll of Ocasek productions too

I've got a NIN one coming up about six months I guess, but I've sort of gone off them a bit since volunteering to do it. Trouble is I'm not sure any of my alternative ideas would get enough support, to whit: Mike Patton, Four Tet, Squarepusher, Roots Manuva.

i was looking forward to the nin :(

Well maybe I'll still do it. I'll have to come up with a better title than "Head like a POLL" though.

I hate poll puns so yes

It's obligatory to include one though as I understand it.

I want to POLL you like an animal?

FWIW I love the poll puns.

they're what separate us from the animals

I want to separate you like an animal.

You Let Me SePOLLate You

YOU RANK ME BABY, YEAH YOU RATE ME 1-2 - ILM Artist Poll #71 - Tom Petty (results)

Excellent Tom Petty poll title.

So. . . what's up next?

i would be up for doing the Hendrix poll in Jan or Feb

more likely Feb than Jan so i don't care if anyone goes before me

i'm a little worried that there won't be enough interest in Bauhaus to even run a poll. so i'm asking with this reminder, this has nothing to do with the replacement band this is all about: Should the Bauhaus/Tones on Tail-Love and Rockets/Peter Murphy artist poll go on as planned?

next-level

everybody changing usernames all the time doesn't make this easy either

Nirvana has already been done... I think R.E.M. has too?

rooting for hendrix, stereolab or bacharach

links or it didn't happen

xp

crüt's The Cars/Ric Ocasek poll needs to be added to the list (assuming he still wants to do it?)

ah here's Nirvana: Teenage angst has paid off well / Now I'm bored and POLLed: The ILM Nirvana poll results thread (Poll #69)

Tom Petty did too, right?

shit I haven't updated this in awhile

REM was back in 2009 - \///\/// It's the ILX SUPER SUMMER R.E.M. POLL OF POLLS RESULTS THREAD \///\/// - but, i fucked it up, and have always said that they deserved a do-over.

I have a horrible feeling that ilx is going to cease to exist before we get round to the eurovision poll, that's the one I'm really looking forward to

okay yeah I removed Tom Petty and Nirvana from the running. I don't think either of the big metal polls happened?

I'm rooting for Stereolab or Can.

I feel like I sent in a ballot for the extreme metal poll but I don't think results were ever posted?

Yeah, I think extreme metal was taking an extremely long time.

i'd love to see the George Michael poll happen

Extreme Metal poll happened but the results did not, apparently...? The ILM Extreme Metal Poll Voting, Discussion and Campaigning Thread

2015 POLL RESULTS COUNTDOWN - ILM Metal(ish) Albums of the Year

Oh, wait, is that a different poll?

frobisher couldnt do the tabulating so results havent been run.

is Gukbe, gr8080 or someone else on the top of that list ready to go? i know some dude could do Hendrix in February. if anything i can do Bauhaus at anytime now.

someone oughta help frobisher out with the Excel spreadsheet so those results can roll out

hopefully that is in hand

I've got the spreadsheet and a bit of time, I'm happy to do the tabulating and pass the results on.

thinking specifically of Oscar-brand health insurance and its unpleasant NYC subway ads:
