ILM Ballot Polls for 2020 and beyond -- the ordering, timing, "I would have voted if I'd known about it," etc

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?

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.

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

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

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

Tonight I'll be doing pull-ups on the toilet POLL - Artist Poll #104 - THE REPLACEMENTS Voting Thread

It's the ILX All-Time Milm and Foovies Poll! -- Nominations Thread

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

Okay, this one is finished.

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

So... NEXT <INTERROBANG>

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

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?).

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? :)

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!

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.

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

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.

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

ILM Artist Poll No. 105 · THE CRAMPS · Results Thread

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...

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?

nick cave poll sounds good

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

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

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

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

Noms usually kick off mid-December.

MF DOOM?

ILM's 2020 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD

2020 Metal ’n’ Heavy Rock Poll: NOMINATIONS Thread (open until the 8th of January 2021)

Yes! re MF DOOM. Do it!

maybe wait til the year-end shenanigans are thru, but yes co-sign DOOM

I could do the DOOM one if a poll runner is needed (yes, after year end shenanigans). I haven't run one before.

Ok so after year end stuff. we're gonna have the MF DOOM one. then can we run the grunge poll or are we still trying to go in order with the list that was posted a year ago in this thread?

I think its better to go with the order as it was as people have waited years, but obviously some may want to be bumped down the list as well.

I like the idea of the grunge poll coming right after hair metal/hard rock poll though. Maybe we could arrange that?

no rush on my part if I'm doing DOOM

ILM isn’t so busy that we couldn’t do multiple polls at a time, no?

i think anything is open. is bee ok around to update the list? a lot of the users listed to run these arent here anymore

a bifurcated process, interesting

Im on that list under different usernames so it might be the same for others

There are almost certainly further folks quietly observing, keen to eventually run things they suggested in, like, 2014. eg. the Nick Cave poll a few weeks ago!

There is no real order specified up top any more. I mean, I ran two in 2020 that were on the list for a matter of months, if that. BUT they were during periods where many weeks had passed without anyone else declaring a wish to proceed.

this board is a living animal that keeps evolving. DOOM could be next because of the circumstances. this thread sorts of has a handle on the timing, just say you want to run a poll and if no one objects then its a go. i don't like the idea of more than one at a time but i'm only one person. anyways, this is all mute until after the year end polls, this will start up again after that.

i will post an updated list in a few weeks.

I'm still down to do the no wave poll even though a bunch of stuff has skipped ahead ... I just figured someone would contact me or something and let me know it was my turn ... nbd

DOOM should be asap imo

get in before he reveals his death was a hoax
