Today WLUP played Highway to Hell, then two commercials that must be aimed at their core demographic:
* ad for this place http://numalemedical.com where an older man talked about the unanticipated complications that arose from his reduced performance and general ED and how this center helped him fix them* ad for McD's coffee in which a confident man declares that it gives him maximum potency and helped him fix the copier, after which he basked in the praise of his colleagues

do tellforgot there was also an ad for some home network show guy who was having a free seminar to teach ppl how to flip homes. they used the phrase "flip homes" like 50x and claimed that this was a hot ticket, so call soon for your free tickets to this informative seminar that will make you money/help you advance in the world.

ha ha On the "Old School" station I've been listening to they keep playing ads about Obamacare, "Cash for Clunkers is back!" and how to "get the government subsidies that you deserve!" It's like a Republican's nightmare.

feel like there should be a sub-poll for songs with sax solos― mookieproof, Monday, 30 June 2014 01:31
Have mentioned before (on a sax thread) running a discrete poll on this subject. If there's interest, I'll add to the list (for running in 2018 or whatever).

I'm curious as to what Boston hits make the poll, outside of "More Than a Feeling" which has to be a lock for somewhere in the top 100.
― intheblanks, Thursday, 24 July 2014 04:18 (ten years ago) link
I feel a little bad about not voting for any others. "Hitch a Ride" might actually be my favourite from that album, I thought while listening the other day.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 24 July 2014 04:41 (ten years ago) link
I voted for the album in the albums poll, though.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 24 July 2014 04:42 (ten years ago) link
voted for two from boston's debut, felt quite bad about not voting for at least two others. throwing two darts at the album and voting for whatever titles they hit would have been as satisfying, and maybe as useful, as choosing the two i chose.

i'm hashing out the top 100, getting it ready to send to gr80 to do images. you crazy bastards voted for 918 different songs!

Top 500
― Bee OK, Thursday, 24 July 2014 05:39 (ten years ago) link
otm
― fact checking cuz, Thursday, 24 July 2014 05:44 (ten years ago) link
i will tabulate the list to the top 500 and post it at the end of the countdown. but i think a top 100 will be best because then a) every song will have the weight of a dozen votes or more and b) enough huge songs missed the top 100 completely that there will be some genuine suspense and surprises.

500?! that's gotta be at least half the nomination list
― brimstead, Thursday, 24 July 2014 05:51 (ten years ago) link
A dozen to make the list! My number one isn't gonna make it I don't think :(

we're not rolling out the main poll til monday, was gonna do subpolls over the weekend just because it seems like dragging out the thread for 3-4 days before the top 100 seems like too much. maybe if you guys want something for friday i can have it ready.

No rush, just curious.

I won't be on ilx this weekend. I'm not really invested about the best albums poll, but I do think a worst songs rollout might be more fun with more ilxors in the mix. No pressure though. Really just psyched for the big show.

tbh i've never been big on the poll puns (and will never top "I Just Wanna Poll U (Ballot 2 Me)" for the Jay-Z/Neptunes voting thread) so i have no idea if i'm even going to do one.

(Don't Fear) The Rollout
― Jeff W, Thursday, 24 July 2014 16:20 (ten years ago) link
When listening back to songs on my list, I found that "(Don't Fear) the Reaper" (my #10) actually gave me the most pleasure.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 24 July 2014 16:38 (ten years ago) link
^was my #1 in my failed ballot (I only made it to #32 and by then it was days too late)
