I will be excited about the 2010s poll as soon as it stops being too hot to be excited about anything at all

Who's going to run it? I almost could but I also think someone else should

imago, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 15:41 (three years ago) link

That is correct budo jeru, add to this thread which ballot polls you want to run. Bee will update the list with you in the queue. Ordering is all out of wack, so you can probably skip to the front if you are ready to go.

oh not quite ready this instant, but thanks for the response !

Who is nest?

Personally I would love to see Super Furry Animals as, finally, all their albums are up on Spotify.

Yeah I'd love an SFA poll too

Vinnie, Thursday, 20 August 2020 00:47 (three years ago) link

two weeks pass...

anyone going to run one soon? the decade poll... ?

Gee, things are really quiet in here.

I'm suddenly keen on briskly running the Replacements poll I mentioned last year if there's sufficient interest!? (I notice Johnny Fever signed up for such a thing almost a decade ago before retracting it, and my suggestion here was prompted by chatter on a Replacements thread, so there appears to be at least a few potential voters about...)

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Friday, 18 September 2020 05:34 (three years ago) link

I would think you'd get a lot of voters in that one--at least 40.

clemenza, Friday, 18 September 2020 13:07 (three years ago) link

Just please take a blood oath, here and now, that you won't call it "Polled to Meet Me" (or, ideally, anything involving "poll," but I know that's a lot to ask).

clemenza, Friday, 18 September 2020 14:23 (three years ago) link

i'm in love what's that POLL? i'm in love with that POLL

LOL. I will find the pun opportunity hard to resist.

If there no objections after another eight hours or so (there never seems to be, but I'm always mindful that some have been waiting for years) I'll cobble together a thread.

Maybe a solo Westerberg/side-project side-poll would be warranted?

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Friday, 18 September 2020 15:40 (three years ago) link

by chance, i've had my very first case of replacements fever recently, so i would be pumped about a poll! i've had a mild familiarity with most of their stuff for a long time, but recently i've been connecting to a couple in a way that i hadn't before, listening to some old ones i'd never really given time to, the recent stripped down Don't Tell a Soul, etc.

Karl Malone, Friday, 18 September 2020 15:44 (three years ago) link

i would have no idea on the solo/side projects but would very much love to see a countdown to steer me in some promising directions

Karl Malone, Friday, 18 September 2020 15:44 (three years ago) link

in the spirit of the replacements, though, i think it's only appropriate to be inexcusably drunk as often as possible while posting on that thread, so i apologize to everyone on it in advance

Karl Malone, Friday, 18 September 2020 15:46 (three years ago) link

"Tonight I'll be doing pull-ups on the toilet POLL"

Chris L, Friday, 18 September 2020 15:50 (three years ago) link

Oops, just saw this is the ILM thread. Still, nominate stuff!

Get the point? Good, let's dance with nunchaku. (Eric H.), Thursday, 24 September 2020 15:16 (three years ago) link

Okay, this one is finished.

I hate ILoveMusic, it's got too many POLLS - Artist Poll #104 - THE REPLACEMENTS - RESULTS

So... NEXT <INTERROBANG>

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Thursday, 15 October 2020 12:31 (three years ago) link

If there’s enough interest I might be able to run The Cramps poll. Halloween season seems like a good fit for them.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 15 October 2020 14:20 (three years ago) link

I would vote in a Cramps poll. Also, since I’m here, Fugazi and a comprehensive NWA + related solo albums polls I would participate in (if they haven’t already been done, I hope?).

rattle, Thursday, 15 October 2020 14:40 (three years ago) link

I'd definitely submit a Cramps ballot!

rattle: seems Fugazi and NWA+ haven't been done and are not yet in the "to do" list in the first post. How would you feel about doing the numbers for those? :)

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Thursday, 15 October 2020 15:28 (three years ago) link

i would also submit a cramps ballot. my partner is a cramps megafan, while i am only a strongfan, so i'd like an opportunity to up my cramps game!

president of my cat (Karl Malone), Thursday, 15 October 2020 15:32 (three years ago) link

Nag! that’s a “neg” from me. Voting and commenting on is far as I’m willing to go....2nd thought, and, yeah: I won’t.

rattle, Thursday, 15 October 2020 16:42 (three years ago) link

N.W.A and related would be timely this week too, but Cramps at Halloween is a great idea.

Covidiots from UHF (sic), Thursday, 15 October 2020 19:13 (three years ago) link

OK i'm taking the lead!

I'll be thrilled when there's a generalist "best of 2010's" thread. Maybe it'd be better a year or two from now, though, to better let that decade settle in.

Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Wednesday, 21 October 2020 22:56 (three years ago) link

someone (can't remember who) had said they'd run it around July this year but that fell through obviously

Nick Cave/Bad Seeds/Birthday Party/et al - charlie h

Is charlie h still about? I wouldn't mind such an incentive to absorb more his 21st century material...

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Sunday, 8 November 2020 03:58 (three years ago) link

I'm about. I'm happy to do this one finally, but would prefer to kick off the voting in about a week's time. anyone keen to jump in before then?

charlie rex, Thursday, 12 November 2020 11:59 (three years ago) link

nick cave poll sounds good

ufo, Thursday, 12 November 2020 12:43 (three years ago) link

Cool! With several hundred tracks under consideration I could probably use a bonus week of thinking time anyway!

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Thursday, 12 November 2020 13:15 (three years ago) link

sweet. I'll get this started by around the 23rd of this month.

charlie rex, Sunday, 15 November 2020 02:43 (three years ago) link

I’m in to help with the images, rollout, whatever I can help with for the decade poll

✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 21 November 2020 18:33 (three years ago) link

nice, i'm very excited for the decade poll! when is it planned for?

ufo, Saturday, 21 November 2020 23:56 (three years ago) link

Noms usually kick off mid-December.
