Thread for coordinating the order and timing of ILM ballot polls

No Stax rollout until mid-September at the earliest (most likely to be the 23rd actually) so there's definitely space for a quick artist poll.

i was waiting to see if someone was going to take ownership of this. it looks like it will fall on me.

so since Cocteau Twins was abandon, i say that poll should go next if LeRooLeRoo is ready to start?

Put me down for a Stiff Records poll. I figure I'll have three years to become intimately familiar with the whole catalogue.

Stiff! I remember seeing NME retrospectives on the legendary Stiff Records, but they never explained what the big deal was.

There's a lot of stuff on the label I really do love, but a whole lot more I've never heard or, in some cases, heard of.

"The Wit & Wisdom of Ronald Reagan" blank sides 12-inch ftw.

lol, Would Vote! Reagan had some occasional wit, but wisdom, none.

I'm ready to start if people want to do Cocteau now.

that would be great, so yes let's roll it out as it makes the most sense to go next. Elton John is done so you are up.

btw, it's going to be a lot of fun.

going to be a struggle to think of lyric pun thread titles though

Peep POLL, Peach POLL, Pandora, Pompadour

Burn this POLL madhouse down

LeRooLeRoo please roll out Cocteau Twins when you are ready.

If we're back in business, sign me up for Billy Joel. I'll actually do this one!

Thanks for taking the reins, Bee. ILM is in your debt.

poll for leyna!

pollentown!

LeRooLeRoo please roll out Cocteau Twins when you are ready.

I'm at work now but will try to start this tonight !

POLL Out and Away, Onehow - The Cocteau Twins voting thread ! Deadline for voting will be September 4th ETZ

i will update this thread and add to this list in the next few days.

pollentown!

Oh, we're polling Atlanta?

Hay fever, also allergic to Billy Joel--will have to sit that one out either way.

Confession, as a Billy Joel fan-kid, suffering from seasonal allergies, in Atlanta, I did in fact work out a parody entitled "Pollentown." Sadly, it does not appear to have survived in my archive of AmiPro documents from 1992-1996.

Bee Ok, people need more time for voting in the Cocteau poll. Is it ok if we change the deadline to Sept 7th ?

eh i just got accepted onto a course that will p much evaporate my time from now til september 2015.... i cant imagine there'll be great wailing and gnashing of teeth if oasis falls by the wayside?

Only that I can't play the Shakey Mo "just droppin' by with some snide remarks" role.

Which would be symmetry of a kind, given how much Liam's vocal steez is quietly borrowed from Elton John.

tbrr i hadnt hoped for anything more than the scorn and abuse of ilm, anything less i'da been shook

DEADLINE extended: POLL Out and Away, Onehow - The Cocteau Twins voting thread ! Sunday Sept 8th at midnight ETZ

xp You'll have graduated by the time Oasis comes around, I'm not having it. The pub rock and cagoules revival might even have started by then.

we never really went away, we live under bridges now

You're not getting out of it now deems. You volunteered you run it in 2015!

I'm ready to do Tom Waits now whenever I can be slotted in. No worries if I've been sent to the back of the queue.

i promise to update this thread soon, it's just hard without being a mod...

see already need mod powers, i see Tom Waits is already on list at number 45.

and i say open voting when ready chap.

Great, I'll start Monday.

Put me at the end for Low.

unnerstood bee ok (though i doubt anyone will take it on)

By the way, if I'm stepping on anyone's toes by doing Waits next week I'm happy to wait - I had to skip my original turn for various reasons.

Looking forward to the massive definition arguments the extreme metal poll will generate.

Can't wait to vote for Vitalic in that poll.

Think Enter Sandman will be my top vote.

More Than Words ftw

if you can whistle the chorus, it's not Extreme Metal

Stax voting is going to finish for reals on Sunday - I've been away but will sort everything out over the weekend. I should get a mod to change the title.

if you can whistle the chorus, it's not Extreme Metal

― Tyskie in the giro (Noodle Vague)

Dunno, a couple of Enslaved choruses are pretty whilstelable.

What's he POLLing in there? The Tom Waits ballot poll
