Thread for coordinating the order and timing of ILM ballot polls

Remember you can vote in the TV Theme tunes poll until Sunday.

will put you and DinoJr in at 78, ZS

tv themes rollout will be a good capper before everybody adjourns to decide whether 2012 was a good little year or a bad little year

Not going to claim it, since I'm committed to running one at the end of the list right now, but throwing Hendrix out there as a suggestion.

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCE

hahaha, I knew exactly what one syllable that post would be

:D

SPOOOOOOOOOOON.

no you said it wrong

it's
BRRROOOOOCCE

When we do the Madonna poll can we do tracks, albums, and remixes too? There are soooooo many good Madonna remixes!

I don't know what to do about remixes other than just count all versions of a song toward its placement and then break down the specifics during the rollout.

Well I meant like have a separate category just for remixes.

Actually, I'm into that idea. I wasn't really sure what to do with them, but that would work. Like, a top 5 lps, a top 10 remixes, and then a top 50 of regular singles/tracks.

But no Immaculate Collection Q-Sound mixes, that's cheating.

Bruce voting: end of next week after 2012 Albums or wait until the 4th so everybody can towel off and have a post-reveal cigarette?

Johnny Fever, would you be interested in jumping up one spot and doing Madonna at 31 (hurr hurr) instead of 32? My freakin' work schedule is either all or nothing, and it looks like it's going to be on All just when the #31 voting period ends.

Sure, I can move to 31.

Madonna first! Madonna now!

Bruce-Madonna-Miles-Fall is an interesting grouping in any order imo.

xp lol, you'll have to take that up with Jamie_ATP

THE BOSS SAYS NO. i'll get his one started after 2012 albums.

Cool! VegGrrrl would have rioted if Bruuuuuuuuce had been pushed back.

Haha well praise brooce that you've all been spared

Hmmm i might vote in Bruce, def in Madonna...

Was listening to Perverted by Language last night, first time in a couple years, thinking about the Fall poll. Boy that felt great; cant wait

can someone link to the eoy polls, if they are taking place?

Metal Poll 2012 - The Countdown
ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2012

Missed you during the tracks roll out, a hoy hoy. Albums roll out begins Monday, though!

ive not really been on the internet for a while due to ongoing new job/looking to move issues

William, how are you planning to do the Miles one? I've been through about thirty albums now, and still not sure I could elevate one track over another.

Haven't worked it all out yet, except that I know the ballots will be longer (but not too long). 20 is too few, 40 feels like too many, so I guess it'll be 30. I'll figure out the points allocation before voting starts. 1970-75 live stuff is a little tricky, and I think I will combine votes for, say, "Tatu Pt. 1" and "Tatu Pt. 2" if they show up that way. Will poll favorite albums as well, but not least-favorite tracks. I'm open to suggestions on that one.

My idea of revealing some of the results (like #16-75) in random order and then doing the top 15 in regular order sounds dumber the more I think about it. If it were a John Cage poll, it would be the ONLY way to go, but it seems gimmicky here.

gonna start the Brucey voting thread on monday!

*ties red bandana around head*

woooooooooooooooo

shit I better get to work

seems like interest in the artist-based threads is on the wane (or maybe we haven't done one for a while, but i haven't noticed any on sna in a couple months). would anyone be opposed to bumping these up the list? i'm pretty eager to hear these, particularly disco & italo

38. Motown Singles - a hoy hoy
39. Stax - seandalai
40. Disco - Tuomas64. Italo - daavid
64. Italo - daavid

We took a break during eoy poll timez.

and now the real fun begins

I'm not going to be able to listen to any Bruce 'til next week, but I'd like to do something to get into the mood beforehand. What should I do? I was thinking maybe breaking out some Sopranos.

yeah, Sopranos is a good call. Bit of Sylv!!!

watch some car movies--Two-Lane Blacktop, Vanishing Point, the og Gone In Sixty Seconds.

I might see if there's a steelmill nearby that'd let me work the weekend, that'd be quite blue-collar

see if any of the local street racing gangs will let you join in

also key: meet a girl named Wendy

As JF mentioned, we took a hiatus while best-of-year polling took place. We did it last year and it seemed to work well -- people seemed to come back to the artist polls in Feb. with more energy, so it will probably be an annual thing. Ten months on, two months off, and EOY voters can really focus their listening.

also key: meet a girl named Wendy

or a man named Sir. Dude's in every song.

hahah

yeah it's cool i just don't personally have much interest in the artist-based polls and wanted to see if there was any will to move those up the slot but it's cool

Bumpity bump.

Darn this switch to Chrome...

whoa this bruce poll makes me realize this list is up to 78 and no Petty?

I'll run that one if we think it'll net any more interest than just me, alfred, and tipsy mothra...

I'd definitely vote in a Tom Petty poll.

The Boo Radleys, Classic or Dud?
