The CaterPOLLar -- ILM Artist Poll #23 -- The Cure -- voting thread

About to send. No surprise that my ballot leans heavily on THOTD.

2 Faith (if you count the 2005 expanded edition)

o fuck I forgot about "Carnage Visors"

FUCK

I def struggled when I got to #30 though.

Hit 20 ballots! Thanks all!

still super pissed I forgot "Carnage Visors", that had a realistic chance of placing high on my ballot

deadline still today?

deadline was never today, it was Friday, but it's been pushed past the weekend

Anyway, I have to extend the voting period because it's my son's birthday this weekend and I'm away Tuesday night, so voting will now end at MIDDAY on WEDNESDAY 15th. So get your ballots in, folks.

Just made an initial list.

TIB/BDC comes in with the most picks at 8.

HOTD, KMKMKM and Disintegration all wound up with five though that could change a bit as I'm only at 35 and will probably pick five more before submitting.

I realized after the fact that I'd included every song from Staring at the Sea except for one.

I am curious to see what the latest song to make the poll will be

I def won't have anything after Wish.

not even this? http://youtu.be/4hkWX9gUFgE

i actually have one non-album single post WMS (which I think narrows it down to two possibilities, SPOILER) but yeah, considering how many songs people love pre-WMS i'd be surprised if anything then on makes the cut

ah ok it says Deadline:Friday August 8th, 10pm UK time above & I just remembered the 8th

also ppl, don't neglect yr b-sides from any era

omfg I really fucked up my ballot ;_;

plz everyone put "The Big Hand" on yr ballots because I completely forgot that it existed

as long "This Twilight Garden" made yours

well duh

It'll take me a while to work out which albums my songs come from. I actually own nothing by The Cure, but one of my best friends at university (91-94) was a Cure obsessive so I taped loads of stuff off him.

don't neglect yr b-sides from any era
I voted for two of those

^_^

fyi I'm listening to a playlist of all the songs I was considering that I could find on Spotify and it's really the fucking best

TIB/BDC: 5
SS: 3
F: 5
P: 4
TT: 4
THOTD: 2
KMKMKM: 4
D: 4
W: 2

Singles/B-sides not on any 'proper' albums: 7

poor Blue Sunshine is going to get shafted in this

I'd be curious to know what the latest track to hit *any* poll is. Most of these artists are still trying hard, yet Timbaland's the only one I can think of who's sneaked one in from this century.

Hearts can never be POLLed -- ILM Artist Poll # 18 -- Depeche Mode RESULTS THREAD

good old Dave

"Punish Me With Kisses" is an excellent song

I would take Blue Sunshine over pretty much every post-Disintegration Cure album

I think the latest track on my ballot was "Burn"...so, 1994?

OH FUCK I FORGOT "BURN" TOO

FUCKING BAND, WITH SO MANY GREAT SONGS, I HATE YOU

There must be plenty. Off the top of my head, I'm reasonably certain that 'Out of Time' (2003) placed in my Blur poll. Did 'Vertigo' place in the U2 one you did?

3 on the U2 poll (lol, none of them were "Vertigo" and it's debatable as to whether 2000 is "this century")

I think we should make an exception for Dan and let him vote for 100 tracks.

probably be harder for him to come up with 40 cure tracks not worth our time

ha that's an interesting challenge, lemme think about that

lol I got to 37 before I ran out of songs I disliked or didn't care about

oh hey, can I pad with Glove songs? that might get me to 40

Thanks for doing the gruntwork Dan. I think Vertigo might even have scored negative points - people really don't like voting for recent stuff in these things.

The Cure has no songs with the refrain "uno doz tres CATORCE!"

lol

ha my list of 40 songs Cure songs no one needs to bother with will alternately enrage and make ppl go "well DUH"

I'll post it after voting closes

Mine:

TIB/BDC: 4
17S: 4
Faith: 3
Porno: 3
JW: 3
Top: 2
THOTD: 3
KMKMKM: 6
Disintegration: 3
Wish: 2
B-Sides: 6
Stand-alone single: 1

I've got 5 from Wild Mood Swings, bring it on

huh

wow!

there's at least one WMS on my "don't bother" list that's actually a lot of fun live so I can't even really say I got to 40 songs I thought had no redeeming value

there's also an objectively terrible WMS song that I love in spite of myself that I refused to put on the list

I honestly don't remember much of the stuff off it. That tour was the first time I was old enough to see them live and I remember being terrified they weren't going to play any of their old stuff (dumb, I know but it was my first big concert!). Thankfully they didn't disappoint set list wise.

Although I remember being pissed because all the merch was WMS related and while I wanted to a shirt didn't want one affiliated with that album in particular.

IMO the songs to check out on WMS are:

Want
The 13th
Jupiter Crash
Numb
Trap
Treasure
Bare

(did not list my sentimental fave because no one else actually likes it and I know it's bad but it's SO MUCH FUN)
