Thread for coordinating the order and timing of ILM ballot polls

should we really count self producing-artists?

yeah see Van Gelder should totally qualify - that he's credited as a "recording engineer" rather than a "producer" is a bit of a distinction without a difference.

re: self-producing artists - why not?

maybe I should just start this fucking thread already

Clinton counts right?

No way, he's DQ'd for claiming he didn't inhale.

been on a Kate Bush bender lately, lookin forward to that one

I just sent in my Stevie Wonder ballot and I'm skipping the producers poll.
I have the complete Pulp discography lined up in Foobar, so bring on the discussion thread!

Hah! Pulp discussion thread to come soon! But not today.

Should the "All Seeing I" album be included in the Pulp ballot?

Hmmm. I suppose I shall open it up to side/solo projects, if only to get that magnificent 'Ciao!' to place.

That's good, there's 3 or 4 songs on Jarvis's debut solo album which will definitely make my list.

triffic.

Good to hear! I know Angela will definitely make mine.

would there be enough ILM love for The Misfits to rally around a ballot poll?

Bump for people who keep an eye out for this thread for updates -- the Producers poll is ongoing -- I Wanna Be a POLLducer: The Voting thread for Producers, Recording Engineers, and Studio Wizards -- so go vote!

I was toying with R Kelly today. I know little about him, but my impression is he could be fun. Seems silly to commit a year in advance though.

Better than committing 18-24 months in advance if a bunch of other people jump in.

r. kelly poll would be great

Would be a travesty if "I Believe I Could Fly" didn't take the top spot, though. ilxor continuity demands it.

the space jam ost won the 90s poll purely on the strength of the monstars' anthem though

could i vote 'video where he pees in an underage girls mouth' for worst track? also where do you stand trapped in a closet, vote as 1 or 12 individual tracks? aw hell its cool we have a while to think about these things

That video was credited to someone else aiui.

Annnnnnd we have a winner for Stevie!

> could i vote 'video where he pees in an underage girls mouth' for worst track?

geez like this would be normal and fine if the girl was older?

are you questioning whether it would be normal or whether i'd be cool with it if she was?

Oh what the hell, sign me up for R Kelly. Somebody follow up with Destiny's Child + solo tracks and we can have an R&B frenzy that month.

Jay-Z wasn't mentioned in this thread? He might be the only rap act (along with Wu) to fit all the criteria

classic status, large catalog, a lot of "unknown" gems (deep cuts?), unpredictable results, a strong following on ilm

I believe this was discussed during a Timbaland tracks poll

Somebody follow up with Destiny's Child + solo tracks and we can have an R&B frenzy that month.

i'm glad you phrased it this way, instead of the Beyonce/DC poll idea that'd been thrown around previously -- definitely need to have Kelly Rowland solo in the mix as well

i'd been on the fence about volunteering to do a Jay-Z poll (or doing a different hip hop poll first) but hey, it'd be fun to do it back to back with Kells, best of both worlds-style. sign me up!

isn't that supposed to be Jay-Z?

I might have misread, but it's hard to tell. I thought he was signing on to run with Ismael's idea.

I say he does both, back-to-back, just to be on the safe side

VOTE IN THE PRODUCERS POLL AND QUIT SAYING 'OH GEE I NEVER SAW THIS, I SURE WOULD HAVE VOTED'

YOU FLAKES!!!!!!!!

I refuse

I cast one single vote for Stephen Street.

Pavement 57

That reminds me, who produced the Manics' earliest stuff?

Steve Brown / The motherfriggin BOMB SQUAD (kind of)

i was volunteering to do a Jay-Z poll, not a DC one, to clarify.
