I'm burning up, burning up for your VOTES! — ILM Artist Poll #31 is Madonna

the "Ray of Light" remixes >>>> the album version (sounds embalmed)

Can't abide by Club 69

Just whittled my ballot down to the absolute essential, cannot-live-without tracks and was surprised to find that I only had 15. So, 5 more slots to play with and then my ballot will be submitted!

Early spring '01 soundtracked to Tracy Young remixes of "Don't Tell Me."

also more handwritten madonna stuff - draft erotica lyrics

i'd love for all her notes to be released one day

aagh amazing

i gotta be real, i don't know how to fill out a ballot

but i will find out

surm you are not getting away with not voting

i abstained from voting for videos because i actually don't think of madonna as a videos artist - i didn't really grow up in a house where music videos were played so i think the first madonna video i saw was, like, "beautiful stranger" or something

<3 her handwriting, esp her g's

^^^^ this a hundred times. She was always to me a radio presence.

I'm sorry to say that my ballot ended up a lot more conventional than I'd wished. Only 3 weren't singles, and I wouldn't be surprised if 1 of those is slated to be a single soon.

Weighting by album:

5 - Erotica (not even being strategic here; could've easily pushed this to 6 or 7)
2 - TB, LAP, BS, COADF
1 - others
0 - AL, HC

Videos was def next hardest to make cuts after songs. Remixes/albums pretty easy for me.

sending ballot in a couple hours

I sat down to make my ballot last night and this turned out to be the hardest artist poll yet for me. I have it narrowed down to about 25 right now, will hopefully finalize it when I get home but that 24 hour deadline extension is tempting: my #1 has changed like 5 times since I started thinking about this, so I might need some more time!

i won't let you down!

vote like the wind, surm!

Voted, mostly an obv 80s nostalgia ballot, crazy hours at work cut short my listening plans for this

Sorry, good ppl :\

really glad JF extended the deadline! Friday's like the only day this week i'm not super busy and i've felt faintly ridiculous thinking "oh man, i like earning overtime but i'm not gonna have enough time to listen to Madonna this week!"

wait when is the extension? i have some reports to go through at work and i'm feeling conflicted about whether or not madonna takes precedence

Now that the Springsteen poll is actually (slowly) taking place, I should probably expand the voting by at least a day. Instead of tonight at midnight EST, it now ends exactly 24 hours later. Basically, if you haven't voted by the time Friday becomes Saturday wherever you live, you either need to send it right then or before I wake up on Saturday morning.

I need the weekend to make images!

"I need the weekend to make images!" would be a good self-conscious latter day Madonna lyric

thx yo!

Timing's going to be perfect for the Miles poll to start next week; I should be wrapping up the worst of the current work deadlines over the weekend.

I would accept a Madonna book called "Journals" as a xmas gift.

should we be voting for her top 5 movies also? "Truth or Dare" #1

Desperately Seeking Susan 4eva

when the rollout's done maybe I can do a movie sub-poll

Madonna released at least one single every year between 1982 and 2003
I thought she didn't release anything new in 1991, although "Rescue Me" might have been that year's crossover. i thought it was late-1990.

Sent!

Feels like buying a lottery ticket.

Ballot sent.

I thought she didn't release anything new in 1991, although "Rescue Me" might have been that year's crossover. i thought it was late-1990.

"This Used To Be My Playground" was released in late 1991.

I might have the challopiest ballot! I've got to narrow it down from 29, but there's nothing from the s/t and 2/3 of them are from the 90's (5ea from Ray of Light and Erotica alone)

actually wait Borderline's on there but it might get axed.

noooooo don't push borderline over the borderline!

but there are 20 songs I like more than "Borderline".

oh i just hate to see that song lose any support, but obviously you gotta vote with your heart

"this used to be my playground" was summer of 92, theme to a league of their own. "rescue me" was released as single very early 91, appeared first on immaculate collection which was released for xmas 90 market. was tempted to do a 'madonna singles/hits that didn't have videos' poll but didn't feel like digging thru the later stuff and figuring out what had a video and what didn't. madonna 91 = http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cd/Madonna_truth_or_dare_poster.jpg/220px-Madonna_truth_or_dare_poster.jpg

Ah, Madonna's site says Nov 1991 for This Used To Be My Playground, but I suspect that you're right and Madge is wrong in this case:
