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

I think I chased anyone with epilepsy off of ILX years ago :-/

So go for it imo!

LET'S SEE

YES. I would be so hype. An AFX poll would be massive and super fun.

Yes please

+1 for afx

Think I'm getting the hang of it now... I might be ready...

what polls are currently lined up?

Still experimenting... Less frantic looks better I think?

gives you some time to try and read the info lol... or maybe ditch the glitch and just use a static img:

i'm starting the low poll on saturday, then it's probably into EOY season

We used to run artists polls thru December

I'm definitely voting in the low poll for "Low, Transient Waves & Piano Magic - Sleep at the Bottom" as my numero uno!

K, I'll come back when low is over and we'll check the schedule.

Gonna need about six months to listen to the SoundCloud dump

You can’t have static type/info boxes over top a glitched image with how your making these? (How are you doing these?)

Also the SoundCloud dump had its moments - a few have made it into my regular rotation.

― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall)

Sure can! Actually that’s a good suggestion and what I’ll probably end up with. I did a test with static info/data and the background doing the glitch and it was the best one but didn’t upload.

lol oh shit, I am barely on here these days and will kindly pass on hosting a whole poll but I would be thrilled to pass the torch to Moka and maybe I will even get my shit together enough to whip up a ballot

I wish the Mokaman would deliver my POLL, in the morning.

ha!

Do You Know How to POLLtz?: ILM Artist Poll #111 - Low

We used to run artists polls thru December

― Bee OK, Thursday, 28 October 2021 02:17 (five days ago) bookmarkflaglink

EOY nominations don't close until the start of January so it should be fine to do other things during December

I am thinking of doing a Tinashe poll but maybe it's wishful thinking that there would be enough voters if hardly any r&b has ever been polled ?

yeah and her legacy isnt really set in stone yet. i was gonna do a jam and lewis one at some point. tinashe maybe just create an albums poll and see where it goes.

I'm really in the mood for that Broadcast poll right now. Could even maybe help to run it.

Black cat FTW

I'm sure this would have been asked before--I've probably asked it myself: has there ever been a music-videos poll? I'd love to do that. If anyone ever updates the list, change my entry from Wussy to music videos. Realistically, I'm so far down the list, it'll never get to me anyway. So keep videos in mind if there's ever one of those lulls where no one in sight steps forward. I'm retired, working part-time, so I can step in immediately.

that would be sweet

theres no order anymore just do what you want when you want outside of during the end of year polls

Okay, thanks. After the new year, I'll see if there's an opening.

i will update the list early next year. i will keep you in the running for Wussy and add Music Videos. there is no order any longer, just a list of polls that people signed up for so it's fluid.

Thanks--just drop Wussy altogether. At this point, I think they'd garner about 10 participants.

Music video poll would be great, clemenza

Music video poll would be amazing. I never had mtv so I missed out on pretty
much all of them. Would love to see ILX’s favorites!

I think it'd be great because they were just so omnipresent for at least a couple of decades...I don't think they are anymore, but it's not like I'm keeping tabs. Balancing the songs themselves and their videos would be interesting (I don't know if you could ever a really love a video if you didn't at least like the song).

The predictable #1/#2 of Dancing In The Street/Friday would be a bit anticlimactic though

I am looking forward to complaining about how Around The World and Star Guitar are both slightly out of sync and therefore bad, not good.

Count me in on the music video poll.

Music video poll is a great idea although I feel I haven’t really watched many of them after 2003 or so.

When I'd catch up on each year for my year-end lists, I was often listening to songs via YouTube, so I came across many good ones. (Even that, unfortunately, came to an end when Pazz & Jop went under a couple of years ago.)

this hasn't been posted yet: Too LOW: ILM Artist Poll #111 - Low - RESULTS

EOY voting is open: ILM's 2021 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / VOTING THREAD

As I mentioned earlier, I'm interested in running a favourite-videos-ever poll once the year-end finishes. If someone else has been waiting to start something, though, no problem.

I'm really in the mood for that Broadcast poll right now. Could even maybe help to run it.
― edited to reflect developments which occurred (Camaraderie at Arms Length)

Still keen on this! Though it wasn't clear that there was a huge amount of interest beyond you and I in the first place. "Modest discography with many not-quite-songs" etc, etc.

A reminder to you folks that you should really vote in the TV poll! All you need to do to vote is submit a ballot including your favorites (3 minimum, 25 maximum, ranked by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail. It'll take five minutes, so why not get to it?

ILX's Best Television of 2021 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends After January 31, 2022

how many of the noms are musical

We never did the Chic Organisation one, did we?

I was listening to my all-in Spotify playlist yesterday and think I just might need to run this thing. Pandemic times need a little Chic Cheer!

I would enjoy it!

I have been annually updating this list after our End of the Year countdown, so it's that time again
