I don't have time for this! But it'll happen anyway. We're up to 9 ballots. I'll close voting next Monday or Tuesday.

Almost home euler! Have you counted results if not forward them to my mail I’ll do it next week.

Keep voting people! I refuse to start this poll if we don’t get at least 15 votes for it.

Can’t remember the recording history of “Suspicion,” wondering if such knowledge will affect my ballot

Isora Clubland (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 18 July 2018 23:07 (five years ago) link

I will also send a ballot in the next few days!

sciatica, Wednesday, 18 July 2018 23:14 (five years ago) link

Will be sending ballot

lefal junglist platton (wtev), Thursday, 19 July 2018 02:56 (five years ago) link

If I manage to get it together to send in a ballot, it might just consist of the last fifty Elvis songs I have listened to at that point in time.

Isora Clubland (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 19 July 2018 03:02 (five years ago) link

Probably drafting a ballot tonight.

Making Plans For Sturgill (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 20 July 2018 21:35 (five years ago) link

Drafting ballot right now, just found via Wiki that all of these songs were recorded on 7 June 1970, released on Elvis Country. There were some really fertile sessions once he was reinvigorated after the 1968 special and before the Colonel's live touring treadmill kicked in:

Tomorrow never comes
Funny how time slips away
I really don't want to know
Faded love
I washed my hands in muddy waters
Make the world go away

lefal junglist platton (wtev), Saturday, 21 July 2018 22:35 (five years ago) link

Voted!

A lot of my stuff ended up being later-period and like, half of From Elvis In Memphis, and a lot of known singles.
I should have dug in to his catalog more but I feel like I just needed to vote with my heart.

THIS way to fun times:

Trying to get this done, listening to Radio Free Shake Rag whilst doing so.

Isora Clubland (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 22 July 2018 20:15 (five years ago) link

Euler, did you get my ballot?

kornrulez6969, Sunday, 22 July 2018 20:23 (five years ago) link

Okay, finalizing, about to send via U.S. Male email.

This post was helpful as I felt the same way and ended up doing more or less the same thing

Isora Clubland (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 22 July 2018 23:09 (five years ago) link

:D

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 23 July 2018 00:02 (five years ago) link

Although tbh I skewed more 50s than 70s although I did include some of the more obvious 70s cuts

Isora Clubland (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 23 July 2018 00:39 (five years ago) link

How many of you are voting for songs written by Ed Wood’s ex?

Isora Clubland (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 23 July 2018 00:53 (five years ago) link

Already came across something I had thought about voting for and forgot about when writing up my ballot. Guy’s catalog is just too deep.
