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. :)

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!

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.)
