ILM Ballot Polls for 2014 and beyond -- order, timing, "I would have voted if I'd known about it," etc

at some point i would like to do a (no joke) all-time easy listening/adult contemporary poll if such a project has not been undertaken in the past

Easy listening/adult contemporary actually sounds very appealing. It would need a lengthy nomination perhaps.

i agree, it definitely would

not sure how you'd establish criteria for that

How has no one suggested un-cancelling the 2010-2014 poll?

because very soon it will be time for the 2010s poll

A pre-1950 poll would be interesting.

It is a blight on ILM that there has been no Elvis Presley poll.

xp I'd like a pre-war poll of some kind although it might be better to narrow it, idk

A massive 2010-2019 poll would be better than a half-decade one imo

we really need a summer kick off poll. Elvis would be amazing!

Easy-listening and pre-war would be particularly cool, I think.

Is anyone ready to go with something? If it wasn't for the monumental queue-jumping involved I'd happily get a Go-Betweens poll running literally right now! :)

if easy listening includes library/soundtrack stuff, that will be . . . intense

A massive 2010-2019 poll would be better than a half-decade one imo

My thinking at the time of squelching the 2010-14 poll was that a "history of ILM" poll would be more fun, and would've covered 2001-16 at the time. But shit, we're so close to 2020 now, we may as well wait and do the whole shebang.

Twenty years of ILX? *shudder*

With the passing of DJ Fontana, perhaps someone (not me) could do an Elvis poll?

I’m signed up for it, I guess I can do it now, but I can’t do fancy artwork or anything like that for the roll out. I can count the votes though and try to do the roll out at a reasonable time. Does someone else want to do art for it?

I’m up for the Elvis one if you want

so Euler will run the Elvis poll and Moka will help with images is how i'm understanding it. it's Elvis so it should have two involved. looking forward to it you two.

Awesome. Euler as soon as you start counting ballots, Idk if you’ll use google docs or something else but share with me motelmoka at gmail.

When do we start and how many tracks will you post?

Yes! Elvis poll! I like this kind of party!!!

Let me be the first to say Change of Habit TOO LOW!

I know you mean the song, but there should also be a sub-poll for the movies.

ILM Artist Poll #90: Elvis Presley poll : general discussion and hot pictures of the King

Finally!

can we do the pre 1950s poll very soon plz?

i would be willing to run it if there's no one else available but i need to vote for this track in some poll this summer

who's this mordy person -- some games poster?

Lol

2014 was a dope year -

angel olsen - burn your fire for no witness
aphex twin - syro
fka twigs - LP1
Grouper - Ruins
St. Vincent - S/T

etc

would people be interested in a Tori Amos poll sometime soon-ish?

Oh yes. I'm very ready to vote for "Promise" and "Cloud Riders."

Pre-1950s is too much music. Still suggest doing it decade by decade, though perhaps pre-1920 would be a more acceptable start than pre-1900?

how about an american songbook poll

Personally not interested in that, sorry

ILM Artist Poll #90: 19 Elvis Fans Can Be Polled: The ILM Elvis Presley poll roll out thread

who's next? I should be able to start the Tori Amos one in ~ 3 weeks, so there's time for someone else to run one

if the current OPO thread has people excited, I could get the TMBG poll running.

oh that would be great! would really love to dig into them again

actually it might take me three weeks just to get the list of eligible songs together

Somebody run a poll pleas

I can send the spreadsheet I used to do the SP poll if you want (based on the one someone linked here a while ago) that automatically sums the results of submitted ballots instead of requiring you to manually input ballots against a master list of songs? you just need to check for spelling errors etc to prevent duplicates

i was about to start a new poll tonight, not saying which one, but decided against it and deleted the thread at the last moment. i decided to do The Jesus and Mary Chain next instead but i feel that one can't happen in the summer. i will do that one in the winter of this year, maybe after my one year anniversary of Joy Division, who knows. all my other polls are up for grabs if anyone wants to take them over.

we have only done four artist polls this year?!? anyone in the mood to start a artist poll? ILM Artist Poll #91 is on deck...

if no one else is up for one I'm ready to start a Tori Amos poll in a few days

um HELL YEAH

I’m a day or two away from being ready on TMBG but happy to step back

now is the best time I'll have to run a poll for a while, so I'll start it in a few days then. looking forward to TMBG too

American POLL Posse - ILM Artist Poll #91 - TORI AMOS - Results

Who's up?

It'd be wrong to do Low just now based on the new record just being out (and the reception it's receiving). I think it needs to be the early months of next year to have let it settle in.

My thinking at the time of squelching the 2010-14 poll was that a "history of ILM" poll would be more fun, and would've covered 2001-16 at the time. But shit, we're so close to 2020 now, we may as well wait and do the whole shebang.

IMO we should do the 2000s and 2010s separately. I think a 2000s poll would be quite a cool thing to do
