What falls under the banner of "The Chic Organization?" I'm assuming it refers to more than just albums and singles released by Chic?

Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards produced for a series of artists in the years 1978 to 1982. They sometimes produced under the name 'The Chic Organization'.

so who's next?

i was going to open the Shoegaze albums and EPs poll but the last poll went a bit long and my window closed. i might do Super Furry Animals this summer but unsure if there is enough interest? regardless of that i do have something else up my sleeve and will move forward with that next week, i think it will be a lot of fun.

SFA would be great
― ufo, Saturday, 8 May 2021 00:25 (three years ago) link
It sounded like there was pretty good interest in an SFA poll on their thread. I'm excited for it at any rate!
― Vinnie, Saturday, 8 May 2021 01:02 (three years ago) link
i think the poll will be popular enough, i'm just worried about how many will vote. anyways, i will run in exactly like the Boo Radleys poll that i ran. Ablums/EP's/Tracks. it will take some time to revisit everything. anyways, i will try and run this summer unless something, in real life, prevents it.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 8 May 2021 23:36 (three years ago) link
anyways, anyone up to run poll #109?
― Bee OK, Saturday, 8 May 2021 23:37 (three years ago) link
Is sarahell still "super busy with work"? Kinda feel like it's their turn now if desired. (Plus, admittedly, some No Wave immersion is personally appealing at present. :) )

Gearing up to do a Loudon Wainwright III poll over the summer if people are interested, if that works.

i can probably run something starting next week if no one else is stepping up?
so throwing some ideas for polls around that aren't currently taken, is there immediate interest in any of these:Destroyer?Sufjan Stevens?Afghan Whigs (& other Greg Dulli projects)?Taylor Swift? The Knife & side projects?Roisin Murphy/Moloko?Maxwell?
Kanye is one that should happen someday but i guess now's probably not a great time when he's at a career nadir and everyone's sick of his shit
i would really love to see the 2010s poll happen this year but that'd be too much for me alone at the moment
maybe it'd be a good idea to make a new thread, and have everyone register to run stuff again, with people giving a planned timeframe they'd hope to be able to run their poll. obviously giving people who are on the current list rights & priority if they're still around but clearing out people who are inactive these days? or just go through the current top of the list somewhat and get people to say when they're able to next run something idk
― ufo, Tuesday, 18 May 2021 15:45 (three years ago) link
just throwing this idea out for some day:
DEERHOOF
i don't think it would be a huge number of voters, but they have a large catalog with exceptional songs on almost every release.

if it helps it get off the ground i'm happy to do the tabulation & managing nominations etc. for the 2010s poll any time, but images & rollout for that would be beyond me

Any interest in a Dinosaur Jr poll? (Perhaps even a anything-ever-recorded-by-any-D.Jr-member-is-eligible kinda thing?)

― Rich Valley Girl, Poor Valley Girl (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 22 June 2021 01:19 (two years ago) link
Dinosaur Jr. was on this list at one time, but that person asked me to remove them from running it. i would love to go back and listen to some SeBADoh again...
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 01:37 (two years ago) link
Aha! Makes sense. I was faintly surprised that a text search came back negative on this iteration of the thread.

I'd still like to do a jungle/dnb poll, as listed above. Not sure if there's enough interest in it though.― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 7 February 2020 10:50 (one year ago)I'd follow it, definitely, but I probs wouldn't be able to contribute a whole bunch― doorstep jetski (dog latin), Friday, 7 February 2020 10:53 (one year ago)I'd join in a d&b poll for sure.― Wuhan!! Got You All in Check (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 7 February 2020 10:54 (one year ago)I feel like there was one a few years back. Maybe that was 90s Dance in general.

going to run a Low poll next month
anyone going to run anything before it?

neechy lets get the grunge poll going!

My dads been in hospital for 10 weeks and when he comes home he will need a full care package as he's not able to walk anymore, so unfortunately I wont have the time for the forseeable unless I can get a co-runner who would do all the heavy lifting for the poll, which would be a bit unfair on them, but if anyones up for it, let me know.

no worries, sorry to hear about your pop. i may be interested in running it but prob later this month

i think a japan/solo projects poll would be really good sometime, maybe i'll try to run that next year.
― ufo, Monday, 18 October 2021 09:08 (two years ago) link
I'd certainly vote! Though I love Japan, I might rate Gone to Earth as the best thing Sylvian's worked on.

― ufo, Monday, 25 October 2021 06:15 (two years ago) link
I guess, considering my no wave poll got skipped over a bunch of times, I should just do it whenever I feel like it, as long as there isn't something else major going on?
― sarahell, Monday, 25 October 2021 06:27 (two years ago) link
yeah there hasn't been any real order for years bc a lot of the polls at the top of the waiting list were by people who aren't active here anymore or now too busy to run anything, you can just run it whenever you feel like it & there's not something else on
― ufo, Monday, 25 October 2021 07:05 (two years ago) link
there are often long periods when no one's running anything so if you see an opportunity, just go for it
― ufo, Monday, 25 October 2021 07:17 (two years ago) link
Low, NIN and Aphex are polls I'm very excited about. Hope to see the latter two soon at some point soon.
