I voted for the album in the albums poll, though.

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 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)
