There was Cat Power and then the noughties decade poll. I think the latter is the only one not mentioned there.

i think shoegaze is a good one to do this year, as it will mark the 10 year anniversary of Moka's tracks poll. i won't redo tracks fully but have an idea for a side poll with those results.
Ten years. Oh my god. I think I suggested back then that we should do another poll, but for albums/EPs instead of tracks - I can't remember if that's what this poll is supposed to be.

Yes, you can see on the above list that it will be for Albums/EPs this summer hopefully. i will do some sort of side poll with the tracks results that we got from Moka's part.

So, is anyone close to ready for the next one? I'll hopefully have rolled out the Prefab poll by the end of next week.

I could push Underworld out if nobody on the queue wants to leap into action.

Yeah, do it! (I'm not really qualified to vote, but I'd like to see the results!)

I probably should have added that this one is over and no longer any sort of impediment:

I'm a massive Underworld fan and still extremely daunted at having to try and whittle down some favourites from their extensive library xp
― groovypanda, Sunday, 22 March 2020 07:11 (four years ago) link
Let's nudge the thread for a couple of days in case anyone who's been on deck for a while gets prompted: I'm ready to roll on Underworld, but have the 2019 film poll going on ILE right now, so want to stagger them a bit anyway. (Being locked inside for months is probably the best time for folks to try and figure out which of five nine-minute versions of different songs are their favourites, to be sure.)

Heh I think the shoegaze poll was one of my first polls so there’s no images, some of the winners don’t really qualify as shoegaze (not my fault! That’s on voters) and I broke the usual tie system into a weird one, I’m sure there’s plenty of mistakes too.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 23 March 2020 06:33 (four years ago) link
I mean it wasn’t strictly a shoegaze poll...

Should be wrapping up the Hendrix voting this week. Anyone interested in doing images for the tracks rollout?

I can do them with the caveat that while I can sling shit together, I am not a good designer.

I'm now more inclined to think that nobody will be able to concentrate hard enough to even tell a 1994 b-side from a 2019 remix, but the results rollout would make for good decision-free listening.

How's about that trip hop poll? Though I'd suggest opening it to beyond the Bristol bands.
― Judd Apatowsaurus (Leee), Tuesday, 5 May 2020 21:19 (four years ago) link
Bristol & nearby bands keeps a certain elegant purity & focus imo.

is someone still planning to run a 2010s poll sometime in the next few months?

Not sure what the protocol is for waiting one's turn, but I'd be happy to jump in with Janet whenever soonest available.

I'm there for a Janet poll, but isn't the 2010s hip hop poll happening now?
― A White, White Gay (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 16:36 (three years ago) link
It is, but I figured there had been concurrent single-artist and broader-topic polls in the past. But I can certainly wait, also.
― Juanita was robbed (Eric H.), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 17:01 (three years ago) link
That's true. Not like any of us have a whole lot else going on right now, I guess.
― A White, White Gay (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 19:24 (three years ago) link
I actually think a Janet poll is a great idea, this artist poll would finish in plenty of time. The other poll is only in the nominations period.
