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

Nope, was suggested but never followed up.

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.

Would vote for Gord. But I’m guessing single-digit returns.

yeah, probably not worth it for a small return, maybe I'll start a thread to listen thru his discography instead.

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!

I'd totally listen along myself. Been forever meaning to get beyond my scratchy old Best Of LP.

After < 2 minutes finishes, I propose the final installment of the triad: BEST SONGS BETWEEN 3 AND 5 MINUTES.

nah we gotta do songs between 8 and 10 mins

I would totally Gord out with yall

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.

Gord Out W/Us I'm Not Sayin' it's the Gordon Lightfoot listening thread (but it is)...new album every Thursday

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?

Bacharach yes, but I also like the idea of a Go-Betweens poll

Ah, Bacharach, cool. Yet another I'll feel compelled to participate in then.

Excited for a Bacharach poll

I've been preparing.

Does an ILXor want this to happen tomorrow or have a few more days of sub-2 afterglow?

this ilxor’s in love with you

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?

ILM Ballot Polls: where to find the results threads

That's the one! Thank you.

XXXP: Start whenever you're ready, IMHO. I for one now have a provisional longlist just waiting to be whittled down. :)

Burt is up and running, hoping for a good turnout.
Living Together, Polling Together — it's the BURT BACHARACH SONGBOOK Ballot Poll

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?

I'm itching for the Go-Betweens poll

xp

cant help but feel a post rock/math rock poll should be its own thing now

it would be fun to listen/vote in but figuring out what counts would be WW3

...it's possible i'm exaggerating there but it would be agonizing all the same

update coming in a few...

#96 Living Together, Polling Together — it's the BURT BACHARACH SONGBOOK Ballot Poll

Cause when our POLL did meet, Girl you know I was packin' heat! - ILM Artist Poll #97 - BECK (Voting is open until Saturday, June 1, 2019)

Put me down for a Girl Groups singles poll.

I met you...at JC POLLney - ILM Artist Poll #97 - BECK - the Results Thread

Okay, there was a vague agreement (with Bee OK at least) that I'd go ahead with The Go-Betweens after Beck concluded. So...no objections?

I'm willing and able to commence pretty much immediately. Tuomas's ambient jamboree is scheduled to choogle along for most of this month but it didn't seem to dampen enthusiasm for the Beck poll. I'm thinking that a generous voting deadline extending a week or so beyond the ambient one might just work. I'll start a thread today if no one advises against it!

Before POLLywood - The Go-Betweens - Artist Poll #98 - VOTING THREAD

The mind revealing itself to itself: the TOP 100 AMBIENT ALBUMS as voted by ILX

Draining the POLL for you - ILM artist poll #98 - The Go-Betweens

so... who's next?

would be up for doing a phil elverum poll in the future if there's interest

would be interested for sure

imago said he wants to do that '00s poll

*bump*

So... anyone actually ready to go?

I guess I'm on the list for Bardo Pond, but I also threw out a Cat Power poll. I'm up for either if that's something people want!

Add me at the back of the list for a Wussy poll. I'll be dead and Wussy will be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by then, at which point someone else can take it over.

I for one would be interested to see the results of a Cat Power poll.

I've found it pretty hard to gauge the likely turnout from responses on this thread. There seem to be few contenders right at this instant, so Leee, if you're in a position to start immediately you may as well just try it and see.

(IMHO. Certainly not speaking with any authority, obviously.)

someone should really run an Underworld poll sometime considering all the love for them here, but I'd want to wait until after Drift finishes up of course

count me in concerning cat power. i haven't really listened to her in ages.
