Thread for coordinating the order and timing of ILM ballot polls

I would love a Bee Gees poll

do I need to wait for the okay from WmC...?

Whatever y'all wanna do.

okay I'll do it

I just need to make sure I can finish Neil Young by late August--so should be fine. But no more major pop stars are allowed to die between now and then.

uh where is that voting tabulation spreadsheet template...

You hear that, docherty?

Awesome!

Shakey, you rock, btw.

Anybody mind if I just call this one #20B (B for Bee Gees, fnarr) rather than redo the numbering again?

you disgusting savage

*removes bookmark*

AND CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION

Haha.

Man, listening to Gibb songs and ABBA songs back and forth over the next couple weeks is gonna do me in with AWESOMENESS. (And then Fleetwood Mac after these.)

otm

a disco poll would honour both Summer and Gibb

oh too late, never mind

concluding today with videos iirc

naw, I still haven't tabulated those. Dead cat, weekend work, sleepiness, y'know.

Abba and Bee Gees are definitely #1A when it comes to fashion sense.

I'm going to run a Brian Eno poll at #59. Excluding his work as a producer for hire, but including collabs with Cale, Fripp, Cluster, etc

I'd like to do a Wire poll, I suppose at #60.

Eno poll w/ productions would be so much more fun!

is finefinemusic's excel spreadsheet available anywhere? the link upthread seems to not be working...

expand to view the whole thread, it's been reposted a few times. I grabbed it from one of the recent links last week

https://rapidshare.com/files/1571250807/track_poll.xls

If this one doesn't work, I can email you a copy. Is your ILX login address a good one to send the file to?

rolling out the ABBA results this week!

Cool! Here's a link to the results thread -- You can POLL, you can jive, having the time of your life -- ILM Artist Poll #20 -- ABBA (RESULTS THREAD)

I wish there was more Fleetwood Mac on Spotify -- I definitely plan to vote in that one, but there's a big 1969-1975 gap. Hopefully Youtube will provide.

The 1975 s/t is missing, which is very strange.

q: i know tuomas is doing a disco poll (that i am VERY excited about btw) and that they'll probably get pretty well-represented there but would there be any interest in a chic organization/bernard + nile poll? i would be interested in running it if so

That'd definitely work imo. What do you have in mind? Chic, production work, everything?

maybe limited to stuff they both were involved in? not sure yet

hahaha, Spotify is such a mess...check out the "additional tracks" on the 1968 s/t -- that's where they have the 1975 album tucked away.

would love a chic organisation poll

+1

hah at this rate i'll have two years to figure out how it'll work so i will go ahead and volunteer for it

also ABBA poll est fini, so i guess the fleetwood mac poll can start now?

The Fleetwood Mac timing is eerie.

had the same thought

yeah :/

everytime i see that poll list i stop at #53 and think i have no idea how i'm gonna manage to put that ballot together

The Fleetwood Mac timing is eerie.

For your sake, I hope Neil & The Horse have good doctors on tour.

Dylan is one of about three where 20 songs will be no problem for me. Even with the Beatles, down towards the very bottom I moved from unequivocally love to like a whole lot.

ABBA will be the one poll in four where a hearse isn't close by. So yes, hang on, Neil.

these should all be run simultaneously, starting tomorrow

Bee Gees extended deadline is tomorrow, so I guess no need to hold off starting the Mac. I hope Shakey gets enough ballots to generate interesting results...

Donna R, you're in at #61 with the Chic Organization. Thanks for running the ABBA poll!

33. Velvet Underground solo careers - iatee


Is this VU and solo careers or just VU solo careers? Cause a Reed/Cale poll sounds like a lot of fun

it seems a bit weird to consciously skip VU, but limiting it to reed/cale could be more concise.

should point out that the electronic dance music of the 00s will be happening soon-ish, and for people to vote in it.

Paging Clarke B.

Bump while Clarke is looking at ILX.

we're on to you Clarke
