You'll probably have to issue many deadline reminders, continually re-explain the rules, etc.--everyone participating will have very short attention spans.

♫ Your NOMINATIONS for the best songs under 2 minutes poll ♫
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 19 February 2019 02:07 (five years ago) link
the 2 minute songs poll and the jazz album poll revive made me wonder whether there had ever been a motown albums poll. like motown / tamla / gordy etc.
just throwing the idea out there.
listened to the supremes’ “we remember sam cooke” today and boy did it sound good
― budo jeru, Tuesday, 19 February 2019 03:55 (five years ago) link
have we ever done a duets poll? i think that would be cool
― Mordy, Tuesday, 26 February 2019 22:01 (five years ago) link

Albums, no. Singles/tracks, yes.

C. Grisso, would you object if I asked for the Bacharach Songbook poll back? I'd like to see that one happen.
― 27 Discounts ILXors Get Only If They Know (WmC), Wednesday, 6 March 2019 20:34 (five years ago) link
love that WilliamC is getting back into the game.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 7 March 2019 05:27 (five years ago) link
XP. Yeah, go ahead. It's seems like any time I get open to do something with it, another poll is already in full swing, or something else comes up at home.
― a large tuna called “Justice” (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 7 March 2019 05:37 (five years ago) link
Cool, thanks. Is anything coming up after Karl's >2:00 poll?
― 27 Discounts ILXors Get Only If They Know (WmC), Thursday, 7 March 2019 15:55 (five years ago) link
Would there be interest in a Gordon Lightfoot poll? I would be happy to run one at some point if so, not sure what the order of things is right now.

Has Scott Walker never been done? Sorry, can't search on Flagging app.
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 25 March 2019 19:30 (five years ago) link
Nope, was suggested but never followed up.
― Dan Worsley, Monday, 25 March 2019 20:50 (five years ago) link
I only got into Gord last year, so I can't say I'm familiar enough with his entire discography to participate in a poll. I spent almost my whole life just thinking he was an unremarkable one-hit wonder who sang about the Edmund Fitzgerald.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 25 March 2019 21:39 (five years ago) link
Would vote for Gord. But I’m guessing single-digit returns.
― Una Palooka Dronka (hardcore dilettante), Tuesday, 26 March 2019 00:50 (five years ago) link
yeah, probably not worth it for a small return, maybe I'll start a thread to listen thru his discography instead.
― Will (kruezer2), Wednesday, 27 March 2019 14:25 (five years ago) link
Would participate. Song by song would be rad, but album by album is probably more realistic. I am just about to embark on a chronological Gord listening binge, so nice timing!
― Una Palooka Dronka (hardcore dilettante), Wednesday, 27 March 2019 22:47 (five years ago) link
I'd totally listen along myself. Been forever meaning to get beyond my scratchy old Best Of LP.

― frogbs, Monday, 1 April 2019 21:31 (five years ago) link
xp I'd be up for that. I'm still REELING from finding the +10-minute not-epic thread and getting cross with all the tracks that almost made my playlist but not quite.

Top 120 Songs Under 120 Seconds (ILM Poll #95)

Anyone ready to go?
Something on Twitter has made me newly keen on running the Go-Betweens poll I suggested about a year ago. Though the queue, such as it is, remains long and having run a poll scarcely four months ago I should arguably simmer down. :)

William aka WmC is going to run Bacharach Songbook next i believe?
― Bee OK, Saturday, 13 April 2019 02:13 (five years ago) link
Bacharach yes, but I also like the idea of a Go-Betweens poll
― Dan S, Saturday, 13 April 2019 02:19 (five years ago) link
Ah, Bacharach, cool. Yet another I'll feel compelled to participate in then.

There's a very helpful thread with all the polls listed. I used to have it bookmarked but I no longer do and can't find it. If anyone knows what I'm talking about could you please post it here?

I would be hell of down for this:
104. Shoegaze/Dream Pop/Post-rock (Albums and EPs)
Though I wonder if post-rock into there is kind of a non sequitur?
