tbf up until recently it was still very clearly a line, and plenty of people are in it waiting their turn, just there's been some amount of ppl not being ready when their turn comes around and so we've done a bit of jumping down to ppl slightly lower in the list to respect that? i think?

good point and i agree. we should keep the order as best that we can. there are gaps that i wish did not happen...

If I was down to run any of these I would have volunteered for a music video poll series.

They can be great, especially with acts that have huge discographies that you're not 100% familiar with. For me, the Kinks and Parliament-Funkadelic polls were momentous.

who wants to run a poll? we are in need for a new poll.
i was thinking about bumping Smashing Pumpkins for my next poll but because i ran Talking Heads this year i will wait and open that Mega one around Feb of 2018. i will probably run "Shoegaze/Dream Pop/Post-rock (Albums and EPs)" since we got a fantastic new Slowdive album this year and it's my next poll on this list.

would be cool with a Glen Campbell poll

The rare poll where I would, at the very least, make an attempt to relisten to the two Worldwide Hits box sets I got through once and shelved years ago. I would, before I die, like to be able to say I'm a bigger fan of Elvis's music than I am of Elvis, the Guy Who Changed the World. Who I'm a very big fan of. They're not quite inseparable.

Asked this in the band thread but...
Have we not done a T Rex poll?!?
― Naive Teen Idol, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 00:11 (six years ago) link
we have not, do you want me to put you on with the next update? i do own around five albums, so i'm in.
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 00:46 (six years ago) link
Drexciya has side projects? I've got to catch up.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 01:34 (six years ago) link
I would do the poll mostly to learn - so if nobody else participates it's not a good idea - but yeah, seemingly Drexciya had a ton of side projects, and I would include them all. A lot of them relate to the Drexciya mythos in some ways. Dopplereffekt, Arpanet, The Other People Place, Transllusion, Shifted Phases, Abstract Thoughts, Lab Rat XL. And more.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 10:45 (six years ago) link
Kidding--I've never heard of Drexciya. (But then I'd never heard of Manuel Göttsching, either, until three or four years ago.)
― clemenza, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 12:57 (six years ago) link
Lol, ok :) But I seriously don't know enough about Drexciya to tell what is jokes and what is not. I would run the poll purely out of interest. And if nobody else seems to really have delved into the whole catalogue, then it's probably limited how useful a poll would be. Don't put me on yet, Bee OK :)
