i didn't vote because i only know the first two albums + cosmic thing, but just want to express eternal gratitude for teaching me that the only thing you should do when you hear a cowbell is pretend to hit your own head
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 3 November 2018 17:28 (five years ago) link
honestly i'm down to 22 songs and at this point only 2 aren't from the debut, wild planet, or cosmic thing... there's enough there for a ballot!

yup
― sleeve, Saturday, 3 November 2018 17:57 (five years ago) link
ok, i'm gonna submit a last minute ballot. taking this opportunity to listen to give Whammy! a decent listen and it's certainly off to a great start(!)

i have a real soft spot in my heart for the kind of synth bass on "legal tender", it's like the opposite of kryptonite for me
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 3 November 2018 18:56 (five years ago) link
ok, i put together a quick 15-song ballot. it's always so wonderful to discover vital tracks while putting together these ballots. for me that was the song "Mesopotamia" - i didn't even know the EP existed, the backstory with Byrne, anything. "Mesopotamia" is a sick song, and I liked "Cake", too.

Hello everyone, this is being postponed. As you probably have seen I have not been around lately and the reason why i have been absent from this thread. Hell, I even missed this years World Series, loved the results. Anyways, my family has suffered some health issues including spending more time at the hospital. I just can’t run this poll right now. In fact if anyone wants to take over running this, that might actually be preferred, email the box and I can hand over the keys. Since some have asked for an extension anyways, you got it. Thanks for understanding
Voting is still open!

hey Bee, i'm really sorry to hear that.
i'd be happy to tabulate the results and post the results, along with images. although if you or others would prefer a bigger B-52s fan to do it, i understand. but i'm here to help.
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 3 November 2018 21:51 (five years ago) link
Oh, jeez, Bee, I'm sorry. Sending out good vibes to you and yours.

That would be nice if that happened. I've certainly done my bit for Topaz.

Bouncing off the Satellites seems to rate pretty highly around here (and "here" is ILM) so I would think it's a distinct possibility.

Hey Bee or Karl, can one of you confirm you got my ballot? I screwed up my Blondie one a while back and it was never received.

I don’t think know more than 5 B52’s songs so I wont be voting but excited to follow the results and learn about them..

I don't think I'll have time to do the catching-up I wanted to. I'll have to do a ballot just off of B-52's, Wild Planet, Party Mix/Mesopotamia, and Cosmic Thing, and use the rollout to get acquainted with other stuff.

^^^ nice. That song has been on a constant loop in my head for a couple weeks. My kid is learning about Mesopotamia in history class, so I played him the song.

that's my fave so far, too. nice and simple, and also good advice

I like f. hazel's

― Sing The Mighty Beat (sic), Thursday, 8 November 2018 18:55 (five years ago) link
that one's great too! lots of great options already. i'll go with the consensus, if one emerges.
sic you should vote! no big deal if it's only a partial ballot.
