NEUPÖLLN - ILM Artist Poll #14 - David Bowie (POLLS ARE CLOSED)

Thought about submitting the 20-song Bowie mix tape I made for myself about 20 years ago, in the original running order, but no.

just sent you mine

submitted my ballot via ilxmail.

My vote for Sweet Thing was basically a stand-in for the whole sweet thing candidate reprise deal

BALLLLZ i think i forgot to vote for Look Back In Anger

it'll most likely be on mine. will be sending it in tonight. had a good time going through the best-of dvd on saturday evening. als, good to hear the sweet thing/candidate/sweet thing reprise debate is settled.

Voted.

This feels like one of those rare instances where even if none of my 20 tracks makes the final countdown, it won't matter. Whatever does make it will be great.

OK, I've slept on the it, and I'm going to allow ST/C/ST(r) as a single ballot spot. Anyone who used multiple spots on their ballot to vote for 2 or 3 of its parts is welcome to redo their ballot and send it in. Someone upthread mentioned leaving it off entirely because they couldn't decide which part to include -- you can redo your ballot and include it if you want.

If you voted for "Sweet Thing" and would like it applied to the whole suite, like hugo_w, email me or post here and I'll make that fix.

In other arbitrary tallying decisions, votes for "It's No Game" are going to be combined for the final vote count, though in some cases (1) or (2) were specified. "John, I'm Only Dancing" and "John, I'm Only Dancing (Again)" will not be combined.

BTW, last 16 hours to vote! Six more ballots arrived overnight.

ARE YOU ME?! Jesus man alive, I almost did the same thing, but I thought better of it. "Young Americans" was one of my MAJOR JAMS on that one though.

WmC can you just count my 3-in-a-row vote for ST/C/ST(r) as one vote for the whole thing and then bump everything below it up 2 slots on my ballot? Or I could just do it on my end and resubmit if that's easier

Do you want to fill in those two spots that are freed up at the end?

BTW, the Bowie-compiled iSelect compilation includes ST/C/ST(r) as one 8:47 track, which makes voting for it that way in this poll legit enough for me.

Hey WmC, just sent in my revised ballot. Thanks again for doing this!

Glad to! I get a stoopid amount of fun out of these polls.

This is where I remind everyone to check out the live version of "TVC15" on Stage -- it's 100x better than the studio version. Faster tempo, swings like a motherfucker, just more fun all around.

Nah I think I'll just keep it at 18 since I'm too busy today to go back and look for more votes. Thanks.

You could put YOUNG AMERICANS on there if it is not already on there...
Just sayin

I almost did the same thing, but I thought better of it. "Young Americans" was one of my MAJOR JAMS on that one though.

I'll get it out of the car and scan it soon, I'm curious to see how closely the top 20 I chose for this poll matches it! Pretty sure Young Americans is on there : ) I know Candidate (demo) led off side one since that was the song I always wanted to be easy to rewind to.

Finally getting around to preparing my own ballot, and this is the hardest one I've ever done for an ILX poll.

Still on the lookout for ballots from some dude and M@tt H, possibly SMC. Just over 12 hours to go.

Is 70 on? We can't have Pavement as top ilx favourites.

We're over 60, so it could happen.

It would be fitting if we topped out at 65.

I'm thinking about blasting through the results in two days -- all of the albums and part of the tracks on Tuesday, then the rest of the tracks on Wednesday. Fooey on long reveals.

Not my poll but TOO FAST!

Will do my ballot a bit later.

Can we have the results rolled out a bit slower please? I get the feeling that people in Europe are going to miss out on talking about individual tracks without awkwardly having to preface their posts with (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxp)

just sent my ballot!

Got it, thanks!

Yeah, I think three days to roll it all out would be better after all. Albums and a few teaser tracks on day 1, the bulk of the tracks on days 2 and 3. There have only been a couple of "most hated" ballots, so that won't be happening.

mine is kinda boring i guess, except for my big station to station boosting (but that might be boring in and of itself on ILM)

too many great songs!

hahaha!

Appreciate the slower rollout, thanks WmC

thanks WmC

ballot sent!

listening to scary monsters atm

i maybe should have put this on my albums list

I always forget just how much I love 'Up The Hill Backwards' until I put it on to listen to.

^^^

And then afterwards I have the "it's got nothing to do with you/if one can grasp it" lyric going 'round my brain for weeks until it eventually dies off and I start the whole cycle again.

Bump. Let's get the total ballots into the 70s.

Figure there's going to be a lot of people sending theirs in at the last minute.

i just noticed bowie says "fuck me pumps" in "we are the dead", i wonder how old that expression is???

^^that one was one of the last to be crossed off the list. I always thought it was/sang it like "juicy pumps". Listening now I wonder why?! Maybe I was prone to protect myself from filthy language...

I've sent mine. - Never knowingly ahead of the last minute.

There's been barely a mention onthread of any of my top fifteen, no idea where or if they're going to place. I'm getting *extremely* curious to see the results now.

scent

Scrabbled together some kind of list and sent it in

Yours is ballot #73.

haHA!
take that, pavement

aaaaah left space oddity off my ballot /dumb

Wowie Zowie

Attention Willem! Your ballot has 21 tracks -- you have two #15s. Want me to just chop the last track off?

in the name of paranoias, you, uh, got my ballot, rite?

I guess not! I've sent emails to everyone as ballots came in, unless I acknowledged receipt in this thread. Hit me with it again.

--------

Attention Brad C! Your ballot has 21 spots. Same as willem, I'll just knock the 21st track off unless I hear otherwise.
