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

nominations period might need to be a few months lol

arcade fire will certainly suffer the wither of hindsight

my real hope is that lcd soundsystem does too

Badu still better be #1 tho.

tbh I believe #1 still would be either Badu or Portishead, even now.

seems redundant to poll 10s albums once more just to trace changes in taste over 8 years... more fun to do singles

if we were going to do albums we may as well do singles too

I can kick They Might Be Giants off on Monday.

Dooooo eeeeeeeeit!!!!!

Yes! They Might Be Giants poll

2000s poll is a great idea.

what about albums? the same?

We use wOBA for music polls.

(i'm using the spreadsheet that's referenced upthread (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-6UZjUc-eioPify1wTOMXe_dSsjOQ6pBu0ZjT0I7CCQ) but i'm using lol numbers on my macbook so i have to make some adjustments and use vlookup i guess)

i don't know if ilx music polls are ready for the wOBA revolution

i'm going bee ok style! (1 = 50, 2 = 46, 3 = 43, 4 = 40, 5 = 38, 6 = 36, 7= 35, then one point less for each successive ranking down the list). posting it here in case some other hapless poll runner needs it in the future.

♫ Before I talk, I should read a POLL! ♪ ILM Artist Poll #93 ♪ B-52’s ♫

So... anything coming up?

does eoy start in 2019?

Yeah, results usually rolled out end of January

I'm suddenly keen to run a Belle & Sebastian poll at some point. Thought there was mainly antipathy on ILX, but it seems that's not necessarily the case.

Would definitely vote in a B&S poll.

really surprised that a B&S poll hadn't been done before and wasn't even on the list of ones people were planning to run, would definitely vote

yeah same

Would vote in a B&S poll!

Yes!

Do it

POLLercoaster Ride!! Yay to Belle Sebastian Poll.

Right now? LOL. I could quite readily, if not for the queue-jumping.

The queue is fake news.

It really is.

Poor Hard Rock/Hair Metal has been waiting at the top since 2015.

Okay, if there are no objections in the next few hours I'll start a thread.

Yes! Ideal band for a poll. This is gonna be good.

POLLercoaster Ride - ILM Artist Poll #94 - Belle and Sebastian - Discussion/Campaigning Thread

realizing that we've never done Mark E. Smith and your granny on bongos, ie THE FALL surely this must be remedied

er wait I take that back looks like Mark G did it? huh couldn't find it in the search results

People get ready, strip down your houses because it's the FALL TRACKS BALLOT ROLL- OUT! - PART TWO The Tracks (Pre-wray)

grabbed it from here btw, one of ilx's top 10 threads for utility

The ILX List of Lists

ah! thx

Could we please be objective cause the other POLLS are queuing up behind us - Artist Poll #94 - Belle & Sebastian - RESULTS

ILM's 2018 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

So how should we kick off 2019? Anybody feel like running a poll?

AM Radio Gold - Jeff W
Power Ballads - rogermexico
Songs Under 2 Minutes - Leee

Feeling one of these three ^^^^^

Songs Under 2 Minutes could be very inteeresting!

seconded

ILX Compilation v4: Tiny Music (Deadline/Submissions/etc!!)

that does sound really fun. it would depend on a really good nomination process, but at least there's already threads dedicated to the topic that would get us started
