That 60s poll thread is very weird - they don't even give the full results at the end. But it was just four years ago, dunno if that's long enough to justify a rerun. Happy to help out if someone wants to run it though.
Only full decade (since the 60s) that hasn't been polled is the 00s iirc.

That 60s poll thread is very weird
Yeah, I think either myself or someone else contemplated redoing that one at some point.
It's been polled in halves. Not sure how much good would come of polling it as a whole. At least not for another several years.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 28 March 2013 23:24 (eleven years ago) link
if you call it non-anglo then that is what you will get and prob nothing like you want. Just call it the way you want it to be. it worked here
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 28 March 2013 23:25 (eleven years ago) link
A non-anglo poll would be very interesting and cool, though. Maybe by-decade would limit the audience too much, but a "best ever" non-anglo albums poll I could see being awesome.
― emil.y, Thursday, 28 March 2013 23:28 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah I was thinking about that as an option - you'll probably get Kraftwerk as #1 though.
― Newgod.css (seandalai), Thursday, 28 March 2013 23:31 (eleven years ago) link
See, I wouldn't mind that so much. I can see it being an interesting mix, with only the one stipulation.
― emil.y, Thursday, 28 March 2013 23:33 (eleven years ago) link
mordy was originally going to do a 70s soft rock/folk/soul poll (ie the stuff not included in this poll , with anything in this poll vetoed) as it would be a fine sister poll.
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 28 March 2013 23:34 (eleven years ago) link
But I'd want to vote for Curtis in that!
― Newgod.css (seandalai), Thursday, 28 March 2013 23:35 (eleven years ago) link
How would Kraftwerk qualify as non-anglo unless we're using anglo SPECIFICALLY to represent proper anglo-saxon legacies. Perhaps non-western would be a better distinction.

i think a sixties one in a very similar vein to this (only open it up to more folk stuff), limit canon where really necessary (beatles/stones/kinks/who/dylan) but not across the board (ie hendrix/velvets/dead/zappa flow freely man)(though dead's omission here seems curious now, victim to not rawking hard enough i guess to obv that fell by the wayside some)(no gainsbourg is kinda fucked up also) might work, i'd really limit to stuff that's really steeped in rock though, invite that rockist charge however much you have to, all genres is just gonna be insulting in the end. maybe just make it hippie shit and stuff that led to it, seems as good a fencepost as any i can think of right now. i think it would make sense in the end. all non-anglo seems insulting and too broad also somehow - maybe someone can tie mpb/tropicalia and forro and reggae and dub and afrobeat and highlife and whatever together, seems like you'd have some focus w/ timeline but you wouldn't have to necessitate so that outliers that fall outside of 66-79 or so wouldn't be eliminated by technicality. someone should do a eurotrash poll someday also, just the continent.

Etron Fou Leloublan - Batelages
French rock-in-opposition outfit, avant-garde satirists and weirdos. Friends with Henry Cow, iirc.
Black Widow - Sacrifice
Leicester's finest occult rock outfit. If you didn't catch it placing in the tracks poll, be sure to check out 'Come to the Sabbat'.
Las Grecas - Gipsy Rock
Spanish, female-fronted, light-ish rock-pop? Recommended by Johnny Fever a few years ago, it's a pretty charming record.
Laser Pace - Granfaloon
Oddball psych w/ touch of prog, there's a thread on ilx where I believe skott introduced everyone to it, and I think ilx may have been somehow involved with it getting a re-release? It's excellent, anyway, and probably the one out of these four I'd most recommend (though obviously I'd recommend them all, I voted for them).
