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

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

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:

oops wrong thread

... OR IS IT?

uh, don't want to piss anyone off and I'm sorry about how my poll fell off the face of the earth, but I finally got the results tallied so I'm doing the Extreme Metal albums rollout now...

Finally... The Top 200 Extreme Metal Albums of ALL TIME!

On the classical thread, I suggested doing a ballot poll for 20th century notated music. I'd be up for it if at least a third other person expressed interest. A suggestion was made that that poll could maybe run parallel to this queue since it might not involve as many people. Would this work, whoever is involved in co-ordinating these things?

they made frobisher wait his turn despite no one here being interested in it so i doubt those also waiting will approve even though they should

imo it would be totally fine to run whenever

Yeah do yr thing

man there's some really good shit coming up in the queue here. up-my-alley stuff anyway. kinda stunned that we haven't done the smiths! that'll be cool, small catalog but not too small, ton of desperately beloved songs. not predictable imho. pearl jam will be interesting also for different reasons (bigger catalog but maybe a divide between people who only know their 90s records, like me, and people who stuck with them as fans).

I'm really looking forward to running the Smiths poll.

go ahead and run it now, then, nothing else is happening

It could go out tonight...

Yeah, let's do The Smiths. I'm on board.

Done. Get voting!

oh awesome!!

oh boo i'll be out of country for this. wonder if i can slap a ballot together in the next few hours...

SOME POLLS ARE BIGGER THAN OTHERS - ILM Artist Poll #72 - THE SMITHS

really excited for Stereolab

IF IT'S NOT LOVE THEN IT'S THE POLL THAT WILL BRING US TOGETHER - ILM Artist Poll #72 - THE SMITHS - RESULTS THREAD

There doesn't seem to be an Underworld one. I'm happy to run that if you want to add it to the queue.

The POLL’S Gone Out: Rank your Dark Entries - ILM artist poll #73 - Bauhaus - Love and Rockets...Voting open until Sunday March 20, 2016

YEAAAAAAHHHH!

what happened to the dino jr poll?

The person who was running it decided to sub it out for someone else.

who's next - CAN? Stereolab?

Bauhaus is up

will someone call me when it's can o'clock?

it's always can o'clock somewhere

well technically there's several things in the queue ahead of Bauhaus (including CAN) but the people who volunteered to run those polls are AWOL

Any reason why whoever was running the polls then ignored this?
