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

Maybe I can reserve a spot for the Canadian poll right after that finishes.

Very much open to an Aphex poll with a long voting period Moka

Would give me (& others I presume) time revisit the soundcloud dump

I'd certainly participate in a Canadian songs poll, but I'd be concerned that, with a relatively small number of voters with wide-ranging tastes, it might end up atomized - dozens and dozens of single votes for interesting artists from 70 years from all ends of the country. On the other hand, if we impose a limitation (such as "only underrated songs" or only from a certain time period), that's probably going to further limit the amount of ballots that could come in. So, a conundrum.

So a poll where we can vote for the complete works of Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Carli Rae Jepsen, Rush, Grimes, Feist, Shania Twain, deadmau5, Michael Bublé AND Drake?

Plus Oscar Peterson, Dream Warriors, Deja Voodoo, Skinny Puppy, Anne Murray, New Pornographers, Martha and the Muffins, Tanya Tagaq, Harmonium, Triumph, Gilles Vigneault, AND the Rankin Family!

And Organized Rhyme.

I think there's a wealth of stuff for a Canadian poll. (Though I'll admit to being at least a decade out of touch.) I'd try to gently suggest that voters limit themselves to one or two Neil/Joni songs--that would be the biggest danger if left unchecked, I think, that it becomes Neil vs. Joni--but, obviously, vote for whatever you want.

Or Neil/Joni/Carly Rae Jepsen--she seems to be popular around here.

i'm not in a position to tell ppl what is canadian and what isn't, but for myself there's a difference between those, like neil and joni, who decamped to california 50 years ago, and those, like the hip/sloan/~RUSH~, who did not

Bob & Doug McKenzie should win, however it shakes out.

that wasn't even funny 35 years ago

Take off, eh

This is underway:

POLL of Many Colors - ILM Artists Poll #117 - Women of Country Music

I'd like to claim the next spot in line for a Canadian poll.

Half of my list will be arcade fire and skinny puppy.

Open the Canadian noms thread asap lest this thread become it

A certain TV theme song will be my #1 in that one.

Sure, The Littlest Hobo.

The Trouble with Tracy had a theme song?

I don't want to interfere with the other poll, but will open everything up right after.

That theme song (kith) is literally playing at the diner I am currently sitting on!

There seems to be a hot desire to discuss Canadiana. D’you think an open noms thread (with deets on the poll itself TBD) would step on Women in Country?

I think that’s actually a Dolly song - “Ain’t No Canadian Gonna Step On Women In Country”

Wait, no, a proper noms thread would be a bridge too far… but whyn’t we take Canadian pre-noms discussion over here: ILM's Top 100 Canadian Albums

Any objections to me getting a Canadian poll thread set up over the weekend?

no objection, but count me in for a vote in that one!

no objection, but count me in for a vote in that one!

nice try, no voting twice!

Going to do some clean up:

POLL Miner's Daughter - ILM Artists Poll #117 - Women of Country Music - Results Thread

#118 has started, for you bookmarkers:

ILM Ballot Poll #118: I Been Hangin' Around Grain Elevators: The ILM Canadian Pop Music Poll (Nominating/Voting Thread)

Now that I have figured out formatting, I'm going to over time, going to go back an update all my polls that I have run on this board. This will take some time but going to work my way backwards. Don't need to fix the Police poll as that is how I finally figured out how I want everything to look.

Motion to move up Ivy's Kylie Minogue poll to capitalize on her current cultural moment

Seconded - from the 'pending' list this is the one I'm most eagerly anticipating

thirded.

I would 100% vote in a Kylie poll

What is the state of the current queue?

Based on our current progress we would probably get to Kylie sometime during the second term of the hunter Biden administration

the state of it is no one's run anything in months and it's been free-for-all with no meaningful queue for years. if anyone wants to run something then they can

i'm happy to help with a kylie poll though

i would help but my schedule just wouldn't really allow for it. :/

polls that are on the list that i'd be quite interested in & happy to do any of tabulate/images/bbcode for if necessary:

magnetic fields/stephin merritt
nine inch nails
r.e.m.
erykah badu
yellow magic orchestra
super furry animals
kylie minogue
the microphones/mount eerie/phil elverum

i think everyone who signed up to do those is at least somewhat active still except gukbe?

i'm not very willing to do much of the rollouts though because trying to post when the board is active destroys my sleep schedule unfortunately

some other artists not already taken that i'd be open to running if someone will help with the rollout:
david sylvian
kraftwerk
parliament/funkadelic
destroyer
everything but the girl
fiona apple

I'm still happy to run the Erykah Badu one whenever it happens

P-Funk was Poll #65: You and Your POLL, Me and My POLL: The P-Funk Results Poll

oh lol i vaguely remembered it had been done before but couldn't find it at all, that explains it

there hasn't been a poll in a while so if you want to run the erykah badu poll eric, you can whenever you want. i'll look forward to it

I am out for the next couple weeks, but could definitely begin one in October

rem has also been done

\///\/// It's the ILX SUPER SUMMER R.E.M. POLL OF POLLS RESULTS THREAD \///\///

xp sounds good then!

r.e.m. has been listed again forever because the methodology for that one (which kickstarted all these polls iirc) was kinda weird or something?

Yah I ran the R.E.M. poll in a wonky experimental manner, and have long endorsed rogermexico's plan for a do-over. There's probably some discussion on the previous edition of this thread.
