Well, for starters, these polls are supposed to tear along pretty quickly. By the time that one is done, it will have gone a month start to finish. They should last half that time. On top of that, the rollout itself has spanned two weeks, and the final sixteen is being spread over two days...and all he's doing is embedding youtubes. Not exactly time-consuming on his end.
If it sounds like I'm whining, maybe I am a little. I got the voting done in a timely manner, worked all weekend on the art, and was ready to go Monday, but I chose to wait a day hoping Springsteen would wrap up yesterday. Nope. It doesn't wrap up until tomorrow, for some reason.

i got myself a little burned out on Madonna by the time i submitted my ballot, so i'm appreciating the break, will be good and stoked for the Madonnaness later in the week.

Is it paced to reflect the live version of The River or something?

Yeah, top 50. I'm doing the subpolls at the end instead of the beginning.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 5 March 2013 15:59 (eleven years ago) link
Are we just waiting until next week, basically?

aw man, i love having the subpolls as an appetizer, don't know how they'd go down as dessert. but hey it's your deal.
― some dude, Wednesday, 6 March 2013 15:34 (eleven years ago) link
use them as a palate-cleanser at #35, #25 and #10
― "Bellini." (DJP), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 15:35 (eleven years ago) link
Well, I could do them at the beginning, but that might cause a slight delay because I haven't even tabulated them yet.

I know I've seen that before, because I remember Tinkerbell Madonna, but...wow.

Maybe this will soothe the Springsteen angst: http://www.eonline.com/news/391138/madonna-just-tops-bruce-springsteen-as-music-s-biggest-moneymaker
Also, I'm sort of surprised GIS gives me no pictures of Bruce and Madonna together.
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 17:15 (eleven years ago) link
I didn't vote as I only own madonna albums up until like a prayer and probably would only have voted for the singles anyway and that probably wasn't what was wanted but I am looking forward to the results.

how in the world can you look at a Madonna poll and think no one wants to see any singles in the countdown
― "Bellini." (DJP), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 18:04 (eleven years ago) link
I didn't mean that. I just know that people like deep cuts and bsides and they would get pushed out by singles. and lets be honest most of my ballot woulda been 80s songs.
And I failed Tim F's test
― Vote in the ILM 70s poll please! (Algerian Goalkeeper), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 18:13 (eleven years ago) link
i think i voted one non single
― plax (ico), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 18:19 (eleven years ago) link
she has a big catalogue and i think a lot of her singles are surprisingly subtle, like drowned world feels like a deep cut that is actually a big single
otm

― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 6 March 2013 18:21 (eleven years ago) link
and "Drowned World" was a single in the UK iirc
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 18:23 (eleven years ago) link
a top 10 single and all
but yeah as has been discussed you could probably fill out an entire ballot of "madonna songs that feel like deep cuts but were actually singles" and it'd be a good ballot too
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 6 March 2013 18:31 (eleven years ago) link
wow i just checked and "burning up" really didn't chart anywhere except the us dance charts and in australia?????
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 6 March 2013 18:32 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, everyone slept on that song
― "Bellini." (DJP), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 18:33 (eleven years ago) link
she doesn't really have many b-sides does she? only "supernatural" and "has to be" spring to mind from memory
crazy how "vogue" was initially a b-side for "keep it together" though before her label spotted its potential.
― prolego, Wednesday, 6 March 2013 18:35 (eleven years ago) link
"Keep It Together" = classic "deep single."
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 18:48 (eleven years ago) link
well its too late now but I shall enjoy the results anyway! At least its coming before the 70s poll results so I can have time to keep up with reading madonna results thread.
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 6 March 2013 18:51 (eleven years ago) link
xp oh yeah definitely, i'd take it over anything on LAP bar the title track. at least she attempted to immortalize it by making it blond ambition's closer.

I meant to say thankyou to DJP for compiling the Spotify playlist

"Justify My Love" has got to be the ultimate deep single; it is so sparse and minimal and so UN-POPLIKE
― ferreira rocher (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 22:14 (eleven years ago) link
srsly. only madonna in 1990 could have got something like that to #1
― prolego, Wednesday, 6 March 2013 22:16 (eleven years ago) link
I feel like hitting #1 and being truly omnipresent when it was released keeps "Justify My Love" from being a "deep cut single"
lolsome tru fact: JML is the only Madonna song my dad likes
― "Bellini." (DJP), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 22:18 (eleven years ago) link
if you watched MTV often in 1990/1991 there was nothing secret about Justify My Love. i was 10 and kids were talking about it at school.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 6 March 2013 22:20 (eleven years ago) link
"this used to be my playground" feels like a deep cut single even though it went top 10 worldwide a/c to wikipedia
i can't even imagine playing my parents "justify my love"

the only music I ever self-censored around my parents was Eazy-E's album, mostly because I really really really wanted them to like what I listened to so I could control the music on our yearly car rides between MN and OH
My dad really got into The Cure circa Faith and most of the dance music I was listening to, especially The Prodigy and 808 State; my mom liked Soul II Soul and Massive Attack. They both loved Seal. I think my mom rolled her eyes at JML but my dad stole my CD single and played the song for about a week (I don't think I ever got around to playing Fear of a Black Planet for him).
