Gotta Lotta POLLING To Do - ILM Artist Poll #29 - Your HÜSKER DÜ Nominations Thread

thank you bendy
it's in my top 5!!

I'm too young to have ever seen Husker Du, but did anyone see Dwight Yoakam opening up in 1986?

No, but I saw them in 1987 with The Shamen supporting, bit of a mismatch really.

that sounds like a nightmare!

Deadline for submissions officially in 15 mins.

Vote! If nothing else, dilute the impact my ballot has on this, heh.

Just out of curiosity, how is this anyway? A couple of intriguing band/song combinations (Walt Mink, Janitor Joe). I remember seeing this in shops, but never bit. It's not on Spotify...

The only one I remember vividly is the Pink Turns To Blue cover which was damn near Bangles' Hazy Shade of Winter Pt. II. I liked it.

Exactly 90 songs were submitted and voted upon. I know I said let's do 33, but how about we amend that to 30. It'll still be 33-percent. Ties be damned.

25 ballots were received. If you did not get a response from me, please let me know as soon as possible.

Now.. let's see... hmmm. Anyone here ever used a spreadsheet before?

Were you able to figure out something? If you're stuck, let me know--I could probably tabulate 25 ballots/500 songs in an hour or so.

Ranked them all at No. 11.

Seeing that it was a direct and very representative portent of Things To Come (much more so than the one-off Statues, which was very PiL), it seems insane there's no studio recording of Amusement.

Getting geeked for this.

Probably will start the new thread in the morning, Tulsa Time, with the albums and band members. Then begin with the top 1/3 sometime around 1300 CST/1900 GMT.
