Just made my albums ballot. It's not possible to submit one ballot at a time, is it?
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Sunday, 16 September 2012 19:10 (thirteen years ago)
I'm very proud of this ballot btw. (Also thinking that I might not want to listen to rock music from the 80s for another year or so.)
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Sunday, 16 September 2012 19:13 (thirteen years ago)
yeah I think it's ok to submit one then the other. Most find it easier to do both though. Its up to you. Doesn't cause seandalai any more work afaik

yeah, a v. weird collaboration that I appreciate more than Fugazi because it's overblown and hammering instead of tasteful and fussy. do not expect any OTMs for this.

I know what you mean about Fugazi, though I have warmed to them over the years.

No, even when I downloaded the albums list, I thought "That's one I need to vote for." Somehow when I started deleting albums I didn't know or didn't like, I must have deleted it accidentally.:(

It was hard/interesting to weigh between things I liked as a kid in the 80s, things I got into later at different stages, and things I was introduced to because of this poll itself. The latter probably got the shortest shrift, even though learning about them has obviously been the most valuable part of the exercise.

A 50-track list felt so short!

I regret not making it 100 but I didn't think enough would do it

I had to shave off a couple of Def Leppard tracks to get it down to 50 but it wasn't as tough as I thought it would be

I started with a 4-page 'long list' of tracks I know and like to varying degrees.

Viceroy are you still doing the tracks rollout on monday? Can you manage it all?
― last few days to vote in the 80s rock poll by.. (Algerian Goalkeeper), Monday, 17 September 2012 21:55 (thirteen years ago)
It wasn't exactly tough to make it 50, in either case, though, as much as the final list just seemed short. After I finished ranking things, I just picked the top 50. I did replace "Expressway to Yr Skull" with "For Whom the Bell Tolls" at #50 on the track list because Sonic Youth was already extremely well-represented. Otherwise, I didn't think further.
