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

When the World is Running Down, You Make the POLL of What's Still Around – ILM Artist Poll #116 – THE POLICE - (Voting is open until Sunday, Nov 27)

I'd run a Taylor Swift poll if someone else handles images.

don't we do one of those every year?

Albums, probably, but I don't think we've ever done a proper, discography-spanning tracks poll.

lol rob

xxp no that's the CRJ poll.

IT'S A JOKE DONT FLAG ME

I made poll images in PowerPoint, thanks whoever it was itt that recommended that, it was really a lot easier than I anticipated.

yep, that's how I made the Wilco poll images. Obviously doesn't do anything close to what the graphic design programs can do but it's surprisingly serviceable!

i would do a black sabbath poll

i am mainlining sabbath regardless of whether or not anyone replies

In.

Yes

sweet! well, i'm up for doing it whenever there's an opening in the schedule

in the schedule of ballot polls, i mean. my personal schedule is looking pretty good

You can go after the Police if you like. Hard to believe ILM hasn't done Sabbath yet.

great, that sounds good!

and yeah, i was very surprised as well.

Is a Sparklehorse poll dead or can I add it for later?

I would vote, BTW

a man often referred to in the news media as the Duke of Saxony (tipsy mothra) at 5:12 4 Dec 22

Would be cool if they polled all the art critics to find out what are the 100 best paintings.

I'd read that poll.

Definitely be interested in taking part in this.

ILM's 2022 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

Voting is open for the ILM EOY Poll: ILM's 2022 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / VOTING THREAD

I don't have time to run it, but currently reading the J Dilla bio, Dilla Time, makes me think a poll of his productions would be good.

^ That would be cool IMHO!

Honestly, I think Prince could use a redo ballot poll and I'm happy to collect ballots for that (unless we simply don't redo).

a niche pursuit, i'm sure, but tbh we need a RUSH poll

I was thinking of a Best Canadian Song poll for some point down the road (i.e., Canadian artist, not about Canada...)--we're so overshadowed by the States and Britain--but the turnout might be low, I don't know. We're not just Neil Young and Joni Mitchell!

I'd turn out!

I'd vote, but I'd be afraid of very "CBC" results.

I was counting in my head: "me, you, Thermo, halfway...uh..."

i'd be in

I'd throw my considerable influence around so we get "I listen to CHUM!" circa-1972 results.

(xpost) Hockey fandom reels them in every time.

Only votes for Terry Jacks will be counted

Poppies, too.

Hockey fandom reels them in every time

it's honestly true. more or less how i ended up at mcgill

There you go, I never knew that. This poll will reveal the hidden Canadian in everyone.

And of course, there will be no arguments. People will apologize for seeing things differently.

Looking forward to this — I’ll certainly be placing a lot of votes for Don Cherry. [consults Wikipedia] Nope, never mind.

I'd love to see more artists of a country polls

Speaking of countries, an Country Music genre poll could be interesting.

I've got another month of supply teaching left (weird Canadian--Ontarian, actually--rules), so I wouldn't start till March, anyway.

My #1 country song being Stevie Wonder’s “I Ain’t Gonna Stand for It,” agreed

I will update this list after the 2022 singles poll next week.

We have never done a redo and will have to see what the board thinks. No problem here.

Singles poll may need one more week in the oven

Would there be interest in a Native Tongues poll? (Or De La Soul, ATCQ, etc separately -- I'm just feeling like it might be interesting to tackle it all together seeing as discussion of one so often extends to the other(s) within a few posts.)

Speaking of countries, an Country Music genre poll could be interesting.
