ILM is contrarian as always although I believe this is mainly a matter of a number of people taking the piss to annoy the poll poster :)

Me and my tulpa demand proportional voting in ILM polls. Its what Howard would want.
I'd have liked to be able to vote for Slaughter and the Dogs too, though I wouldn't have.

The Chameleons, anyone?
― André, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 13:15 (sixteen years ago) link
Glad to see there's no Oasis fanboys here - 2 votes = good.
Buzzcocks only 5 votes? Ok...
Inspiral Carpets = 0 votes = clever people must use this site
Magazine deserved a few votes. Not the most, but a few wold have been nice.
How's about a Best of Grunge poll?

Hey, did you ever release a followup to "The Neverending Story"?
― HI DERE, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 17:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Which - Pulp or Scooter?

Yeah, the Chameleons?

(Also, I think when you're doing a big city, you have to extend it to the "Greater ______" area, in which case Wigan can count. But not Northwich!)

What would feature on a "Best of Manchester, post-2015 version"?
I guess that could include the "classic" bands if they'd released anything good since then.

No, you're right, he's from Rochdale not Manchester, apologies.

There's no thread for her but I'd say Denise Johnson deserves a place in this one. Great thread here in response to her passing away:
RIP Denise. No one person has sung on so many of my favourite records ever. Including this one. What desperately sad news 💔 https://t.co/wsm0EGZe4c— Sonic Cathedral (@soniccathedral) July 27, 2020
