***OMFG IT'S THE TOTALLY TUBULAR ILX 1980s NOMINATIONS SUGGESTION THREAD***

Darryl Strawberry (Darryl Strawberry), Friday, 26 August 2005 05:57 (twenty years ago)

15 noms. DAMN.

Can we pick non-single tracks or must they have been singles? (we've done it both ways on past polls)

MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Friday, 26 August 2005 06:11 (twenty years ago)

they gots to have been singles or stuff that was practically a single (big radio cut, etc.) ie. whatever the 'stairway to heaven' of the 80s is counts but whatever the 'no quarter' of the 80s is don't. SINGLES basically.

this is the right thread for nominating, the other is the right thread for voter baiting. only 15 nods to make it hard for you and easy for me.

I don't get it... Why do the song picks have to be singles? This wasn't restricted in any of the other polls.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 26 August 2005 06:59 (twenty years ago)

No doubt most of the songs on the list will be singles anyway, but I see no point in restricting it to singles only.

Also, looks like Hounds of Love is duplicated. And I seem to recall Entertainment! doing rather well in the '70's poll already. :P

-- My life with Baaderonixx and the Choco-pops babies, August 26th, 2005 6:19 AM. (later)

I nominated this already ... nominate "Movement" instead :)

I don't think 15 noms is too many ... in a poll where everyone just votes for their faves without any formal noms (i.e. pretty much every non-ILM poll), everybody lists their top 40 and are essentially making 80 picks/"noms" instead of 15. As long as (# of votes) > (# of noms), then its OK.

MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:45 (twenty years ago)

M'kay, I nominate "Power, Corruption and Lies" then. I'm sure Dan will take care of Movement...

darin (darin), Friday, 26 August 2005 15:35 (twenty years ago)

There's not much point in having nominations at all if you're able to nominate that much stuff.

Huh, no ... if we were voting for, say 10 singles and 10 albums, then I would agree with you. But if we're voting for 40 singles and 40 albums then most of our votes go toward other people's noms, which is the whole point of having noms in the first place.

Also, a person's noms != their top 10/top 15 (not necessarily)

MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Friday, 26 August 2005 15:39 (twenty years ago)

I think what Steve is saying, though, is that, assuming as many people nominate in this poll as in the other polls, we'll have a list that is hundreds of nominations long and close to exhaustive. And at that point, how does the nomination process benefit the poll other than simply reminding people of all the music from the decade?

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 26 August 2005 15:43 (twenty years ago)

jaymc assumption is what got doc gooden into the situation he's in today wherein he has made an ass out of u and me. peoples will get to vote for 40 albums, 40 singles when that time comes. this ain't rocket science folx.

I think what Steve is saying, though, is that, assuming as many people nominate in this poll as in the other polls, we'll have a list that is hundreds of nominations long and close to exhaustive.

Exhaustive, no. There's too much good music for that to happen. And like I said before -- most polls don't even have nominations. If we all sent in our top 40's then the list of albums + songs receiving votes would be much larger. Nominations are only useful when the number of voters is limited and you need to limit what people can vote for in order to achieve a consensus and get a meaningful result.

Having said that ... four weeks for nominations is too long. Past polls have been stretched out too long in this way. This thread will remain popular for a while, people will get hyped about the poll, there'll be three weeks where nothing happens and everyone forgets about it. Similarly, four weeks of ballot collection is too long. To maximize "voter turnout", it's best to keep the momentum going while these threads are fresh.

I suggest two weeks of noms and two weeks of voting, max. Everyone gets their votes in at the last minute anyway. Then Darryl S. can take his time tabulating everything, if he wants.

And at that point, how does the nomination process benefit the poll other than simply reminding people of all the music from the decade?

I think that's a good thing! We'll conveniently have a big list from which to choose from, rather than racking our brains trying to remember stuff or flipping through our CD collections looking for old comps.

M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 26 August 2005 22:25 (twenty years ago)

they gots to have been singles or stuff that was practically a single (big radio cut, etc.) ie. whatever the 'stairway to heaven' of the 80s is counts but whatever the 'no quarter' of the 80s is don't. SINGLES basically.

That is all subjective though as something that might be universally known and appreciated on a board like this or among other pop music fans might be obscure as hell to 99% of the population. Zeppelin is such a famous band that even a song like No Quarter is going to get some radio airplay and still be semi-famous to the general public. I think the 90's poll was open to all tracks and yet still at least 80% of the top 100 were singles so by making this thread open to non-singles and just "tracks" it's not like you're gonna have the final results turned upside down by weird industrial bands anyway. It's only gonna mean that a great song by the Soft Boys or REM that wasn't "technically" a single may end up making it in the top 100 or at least get considered and not bogged down by people thinking "Was this actually a single??? Oh well this isn't worth researching I'll just vote for another famous song".

Cunga (Cunga), Friday, 26 August 2005 22:39 (twenty years ago)

I really don't think this singles bit is as big a deal as everyone's making it out to be--it just ensures that we don't have thirteen tracks from Doolittle splitting the Pixies vote and/or cluttering up the poll. It's not that hard at all to determine what the "major" tracks from an album are, even if you're not paying attention to what the singles or hits were.

Continuing with the Pixies example: "Where Is My Mind?" and "Debaser" might not have been singles (in the 80s, at least), but they're two of the band's best known songs (i.e. people who aren't huge Pixies fans but know a bit about indie rock probably still know them farily well), therefore they'd be kosher, but songs that have no life outside of their albums (like "Tony's Theme" or "There Goes My Gun") would not be. Simple enough.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Friday, 26 August 2005 23:13 (twenty years ago)

and also, very much agreed that PiL and The Clash should not be counting for two decades. We put them in the 70s, that's cool, let's leave 'em there.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Friday, 26 August 2005 23:14 (twenty years ago)

Well, if Dr. Bill's ruling stands, then my nomination goes to "Debaser" instead of "Gigantic" (though someone else should nominate "Gigantic" obv.) Also, M@tt, I already nominated that Dexys album so you get a free one...

Guayaquil, Friday, 26 August 2005 23:44 (twenty years ago)

"Gigantic"

kthx

Guayaquil, Saturday, 27 August 2005 03:00 (twenty years ago)

Ok, if Entertainment's off the table, I'll replace it with Sly and Robbie, Rhythm Killers pls...

plebian plebs (plebian), Saturday, 27 August 2005 03:03 (twenty years ago)

Good Dr. Bill's clarification/ruling stands. i'm darryl strawberry btw (DARE ME TO CONFIRM AND WATCH ME AMAZE YOU), i only haven't revealed this out of shame of somehow getting the first line of 'it takes two' wrong. use your judgment people, i'm hardly gonna go 'uh uh uh - weren't technically a single!'. i was hoping to aim for consensus and avoid fanboys nominating 9 doolittle (but not 9 born in the u.s.a. or 9 thriller or maybe 9 sign o the times i forget) trax. use your judgement people. if i'm counting 'chronic town' as an album (and i'm not only counting it, i'm voting for it), i'm hardly gonna freak over 'debaser' as a single. if THREE people second the motion i'll cut the nominating time to TWO WEEKS from yesterday, and voting to THREE WEEKS after that, and i'll get the mods to straighten the details up top out. also, someone plz nominate "rock me amadeus" plz plz plz.

j blount (papa la bas), Saturday, 27 August 2005 04:41 (twenty years ago)

and i reiterate you'll get 40 lp votes and 40 single votes when that time comes (NOT NOW FOLX). if there's enough votes and number 200 doesn't get like 3 votes and i feel like it the final list might be top 200 (yeah we've gotten 101-200 before but i'm talking the real deal holyfield nine bananas whole bowl of chili. grafix, comments, shits, giggles.)

j blount (papa la bas), Saturday, 27 August 2005 04:45 (twenty years ago)

Since there's a nom of 15 albums above, I'll balance it with a nom of 15 singles:

Roachford, "Cuddly Toy"
Duran Duran, "New Moon on Monday"

ok i let you fuckers that can't read up to now stand (joseph i understand you can read, the rest: i wonder...). but everyone else: if you only want to nominate albums, you get NINE nods. if you only want to vote singles you get NINE nods. why? cuz AS STATED ABOVE you gets 15 nominations total, allocated as you wish with the caveat that you may nominate no more than 9 of one and no less than 6 of the other. sweet fucking jesus.

j blount (papa la bas), Saturday, 27 August 2005 04:57 (twenty years ago)

Ooooh. Can I trade my already used album for (humorously, and unconnectedly xpost) Falco - Vienna Calling?

Because it's fucking awesome.

Um. That's a single, BTW.

John Justen (johnjusten), Saturday, 27 August 2005 07:11 (twenty years ago)

j blount (papa la bas), Saturday, 27 August 2005 07:24 (twenty years ago)

Falco is allowed to post as an unregistered user to ILE?

Teehee. Back to the business at hand.

John Justen (johnjusten), Saturday, 27 August 2005 07:29 (twenty years ago)

And I seem to recall Entertainment! doing rather well in the '70's poll already. :P

M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Saturday, 27 August 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

awesome single noms back there, almost all songs I would've picked if I had like 25 choices. The only essential NO single left is "Thieves Like Us," now.

"Black Steel In the Hour of Chaos" - Public Enemy
"Graceland" - Paul Simon

gear (gear), Saturday, 27 August 2005 18:12 (twenty years ago)

awesome, but why are people only nominating DD singles from the first album? Those are their weakest until like, the late 80s.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Saturday, 27 August 2005 18:14 (twenty years ago)

Talking Heads * Remain In Light (Sire) 80
Husker Du * Zen Arcade (SST) 84
The Minutemen * Double Nickels on the Dime (SST) 84
Sonic Youth * Daydream Nation (Enigma) 88
The Pixies * Surfer Rosa (4AD) 88
Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band * Doc At The Radar Station (Virgin) 80
The Feelies * Crazy Rhythms (Line) 80
Joy Division * Closer (Factory) 80
The Fall * This Nation's Saving Grace (Beggars Banquet) 85

I don't see why we shouldn't just vote for our 40 now and be done with it. If not all of my top 40 aren't nominated, then the poll won't be very accurate. If people can't think of 40 albums on their own with a whole decade to choose from, they could just refer to http://www.acclaimedmusic.net, which conveniently has lists by year, decade and all time.

It's hard enough sorting out a decade of albums, but singles? I stopped buying singles when I started buying albums in '79, and avoided the radio as much as possible. Out of the hundreds of thousands of songs, I've never once given thought to ranking singles. That's just insane.

Fast 'n' Bulbous, Saturday, 27 August 2005 18:44 (twenty years ago)

Here's my list of albums

The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come
Depeche Mode - Music For The Masses
Pet Shop Boys - Introspective
Propaganda - A Secret Wish
The Go-Go's - Beauty and the Beat
Madonna - Like a Virgin

daavid (daavid), Saturday, 27 August 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

I stopped buying singles when I started buying albums in '79, and avoided the radio as much as possible. Out of the hundreds of thousands of songs, I've never once given thought to ranking singles. That's just insane.

In my case its almost the opposite. I never think in terms of albums. I probably own less than 20 proper albums from the 80's yet I remember most of the songs. I think it is a good idea that there is a flexible nominatio system.

daavid (daavid), Saturday, 27 August 2005 18:52 (twenty years ago)

This is going to be a nightmare. I'll nominate later in the hope that most of what I want has already been nominated, but we need some kind of list of what's already been nominated.

My name is Kenny (My name is Kenny), Sunday, 28 August 2005 06:14 (twenty years ago)

god bless you for "Love Song" and EWtRtW, I was really kicking myself for forgetting those.

and I sorta alternate polls for whether or not I want to be obvious. It's a pretty fair system.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Sunday, 28 August 2005 06:35 (twenty years ago)

Continues to bite tongue.

What to give it some thought and haven’t had the time yet.

*This is my first poll, so exciting!

BeeOK (boo radley), Sunday, 28 August 2005 06:57 (twenty years ago)

Orbital - "Chime" (You don't believe me, their official site sez 1989)

However, we already included it in the 90's poll, so it should probably be disqualified for the same reasons that "London Calling" and "Entertainment" are.

MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Sunday, 28 August 2005 07:00 (twenty years ago)

it didn't make the poll though, so it's much more excusable as fair game.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Sunday, 28 August 2005 07:17 (twenty years ago)

On the list above Associates - Party Fears 2 should be on the singles list. I'll have a think about my nominations over the next few days, but I can see a few glaring ommissions already.

Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 28 August 2005 09:53 (twenty years ago)

what = want

BeeOK (boo radley), Sunday, 28 August 2005 09:54 (twenty years ago)

BTW: "Domingo" is a genius choice, Tuomas! WE ARE GOD BECAUSE ONLY WE CAN CREATE THE IDEA OF EXISTENCE WITHIN OUR HOLY BRAINS haha!!

It took me a long time choose between Domingo and Tied Up, my two favourite Yello tracks. Unlike the latter, I don't think Domingo was a single, but it's a fan favourite, so I thought it was fair game. It's probably the greatest ever bilingual synth pop song about a fictional cult leader preaching the non-existence of any god.

Sundar (sundar), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 17:07 (twenty years ago)

this should be a top 200 instead of a top 100.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 19:49 (twenty years ago)

I think we need LOTS of votes for the singles. When we have the final list I'd be happy voting for my top 50 singles, but maybe only top ten albums.

Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 20:00 (twenty years ago)

Daryl S. -- is there any chance you could ask voters to give their age? I'd be fantastically interested in how the choices of people who lived through the '80s differ from those of the younger people.

"Strings of Life" already nominated.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 06:14 (twenty years ago)

fuck.

"i can't wait" - nu shooz

tricky (disco stu), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 06:20 (twenty years ago)

UPGRADE

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 06:22 (twenty years ago)

also, Milli Vanilli's "Girl You Know Is True" has been nominated, too...three times. In fact, the only single from the 80s yet to be nominated is Loverboy's "Working for the Weekend". So, uh, I guess you better nominate that.

You don't want to waste your nomination, do you?

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 06:25 (twenty years ago)

The Dr. is Hot Tonite

rogermexico (rogermexico), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 06:27 (twenty years ago)

haha, ok i have to think about it. nu shooz was completely off the cuff.

tricky (disco stu), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 06:28 (twenty years ago)

that was a weird xpost and he is! snarky! it's mine to "waste" anyway dr.

tricky (disco stu), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 06:30 (twenty years ago)

good call with "Jam on It" and "Good Life," btx.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 06:35 (twenty years ago)

Please please nominate "Hip Hop Be Bop (Don't Stop)" or "Love Can't Turn Around" or "R-Theme" or "Pacific" or "Dream Girl" or "This Is Acid" or... So many great electro/house/techno singles are yet to be nominated.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 06:43 (twenty years ago)

done. (and thank you, i don't know how i forgot "r-theme" as it's probably my favorite techno song)

here are my two missing singles:
r-tyme "r-theme"
808 state "pacific"

tricky (disco stu), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 06:56 (twenty years ago)

Yes! Thank you.

This reminds me, I nominated "Nude Photo" as released by Derrick May, but the actual artist name is Rythim is Rythim. Which, obviously, is just an alter ego for May, but for correctness' sake this should be changeded in the nomination list. Thanks!

Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 08:32 (twenty years ago)

Am I still in to win? If so, Jim Carroll, "People Who Died", pls, instead of my redundant "Set It Off"

plebian plebs (plebian), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 09:27 (twenty years ago)

Excellent - I thought I would have to be the one to nominate 'Pacific'. So many of my faves already taken care of which does actually make the nomination process much more exciting for me when it comes to picking my own at least.

Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Thursday, 1 September 2005 22:24 (twenty years ago)

Bauhaus - "Bela Lugosi's Dead" was already in the 70s poll so you could replace it with Culture Club or WCIBU.

LeRooLeRoo (Seb), Friday, 2 September 2005 04:36 (twenty years ago)

Seconded.

rogermexico (rogermexico), Friday, 2 September 2005 04:43 (twenty years ago)

Si.C@rter (SiC@rter), Thursday, 15 September 2005 23:17 (nineteen years ago)

Are "Cloudbursting" and "Cloudbusting" two different songs by Kate Bush? (Isn't it "Cloudbusting"?) Because if there aren't two dif. songs by that title than its been nominated twice.

Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Thursday, 15 September 2005 23:24 (nineteen years ago)

Si.C@rter, those are fifteen arguably fine albums there, but please read one instructions and choose the nine you can't bear to leave out.

rogermexico (rogermexico), Thursday, 15 September 2005 23:35 (nineteen years ago)

Sonic Youth and Pixies were already nominated so that helps you a bit.

Sundar (sundar), Thursday, 15 September 2005 23:38 (nineteen years ago)

xpost

rockist- my bad, fucking horrible spelling abilities. "burst", "bust"...gah. ok, make that one for, i don't know you pick for me- "genius of love" or "b-movie"?

viborgu, Thursday, 15 September 2005 23:39 (nineteen years ago)

I'd say B-Movie, but I'm not sure I've heard Genius of Love, so maybe I can't be trusted.

Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Thursday, 15 September 2005 23:45 (nineteen years ago)

Oh wait, I think I like "Genius of Love."

Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Thursday, 15 September 2005 23:51 (nineteen years ago)

also, Si.C@rter, Repeater came out in 1990. however, i'm only doing albums, so i'll start with this nomination:

Is "Genius of Love" the most sampled song ever?

Thanks for posting the lists - they help for brainstorming. I'd like to see some pointers for black music and club music of the 80s since I was listening to a lot of that, but my memory is so bad I wouldn't know where to start...

heh heh - Da River's already been nominated!

CTRL-F is your friend :-)

rogermexico (rogermexico), Thursday, 22 September 2005 22:11 (nineteen years ago)

i'm keeping a spreadsheet of all the nominations.

re: viborgu's dilemma - since "Genius of Love" has now been picked by whenuweremine, i assume it follows that "B Movie" by Gil Scott-Heron is now a valid nomination, and have added it to the list accordingly

Cunga (Cunga), Monday, 26 September 2005 05:26 (nineteen years ago)

I'd like to call my list "The Unloved: Fifteen Albums/Singles That You Might Very Well Have Overlooked Had I Not Mentioned Them". In other words, I'll be very surprised if I'm NOT the only person around here who thinks the following are primo, but that's even more motivation for me to want to give them some major loving. Oh, and also my most popular favorites (e.g. I was going to mention Rio and "Fade To Grey" too!) were already taken. So, enough rambling. Here are my picks:

ALBUMS:
Duran Duran, Duran Duran (1981)
Ultravox, Rage In Eden
Spandau Ballet, True
Blancmange, Mange Tout
Talk Talk, The Colour Of Spring
Visage, The Anvil
Kajagoogoo, White Feathers

SINGLES:
Duran Duran, "Careless Memories" (from Duran Duran [1981])
Ultravox, "The Thin Wall" (from Rage In Eden)
Spandau Ballet, "True" (from True)
Blancmange, "That's Love, That It Is" (from Mange Tout)
Talk Talk, "Life's What You Make It" (from The Colour Of Spring)
Visage, "The Damned Don't Cry" (from The Anvil)
Kajagoogoo, "Hang On Now" (from White Feathers)
Naked Eyes, "Promises, Promises"

(This Field Left Blank) (Dee the Lurker), Monday, 26 September 2005 06:46 (nineteen years ago)

And I know I'm risking it by naming "Hang On Now" instead of the more obvious "Too Shy", but... well, even though I do love that song, I think "Hang On Now" is vastly better, by miles, and hugely underrated/overlooked when it comes to retrospectives about the band. It's a very tender, lovely, loving song. And yes, I'm also risking it by naming "That's Love, That It Is" instead of "Blind Vision", which is the better-known of the two singles off Mange Tout, but I think the song I named is much more repeatable. I did go for the predictable when it came to "True", though, because I truly (ha) believe it's retained its gorgeousness even now, and it still manages to affect me in the same way it affected me when I first heard it ca. January 1992, when I was 12 and listening to '80s music with novice ears.

(This Field Left Blank) (Dee the Lurker), Monday, 26 September 2005 06:51 (nineteen years ago)

It was late and I forgot an r that's should be FERVER by Jason and the Scorchers

dan. (dan.), Monday, 26 September 2005 14:04 (nineteen years ago)

I wonder how strictly the 5PM deadline is going to be enforced.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Monday, 26 September 2005 20:13 (nineteen years ago)

Judge Blount has much to ponder.

Incidentally, I have counted all the non-repeats in Matt Carlson and Si C@rter's lists in my tally. After all, keith m was allowed 15 albums AND nine singles! I think a few others didn't completely follow the rules either.

zebedee (zebedee), Monday, 26 September 2005 20:20 (nineteen years ago)

I can't count.

matt carlson, Monday, 26 September 2005 20:29 (nineteen years ago)

Holy crap, I almost forgot. Can I please just have 10 more minutes??

billstevejim (billstevejim), Monday, 26 September 2005 21:04 (nineteen years ago)

I can't count, remove.. I dunno.. Remove "Take The Skinheads Bowling" I guess. It's a tough call.

billstevejim (billstevejim), Monday, 26 September 2005 21:48 (nineteen years ago)

DUE TO SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES (IE. I WORKED A 14 HOUR SHIFT AND AM NOW JUST WAITING FOR DRUGS TO WEAR OFF SO I CAN GO TO SLEEP) NOMINATION PROCESS HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 7:00 PM EST TOMORROW SEPT 27 2005. THANK YOU.

j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 26 September 2005 22:12 (nineteen years ago)

I would just like to point out (for the record) that:

Frankie Ruiz - "La Cura"/"Desnudate Mujer"

are two different songs (not that it actually matters).

Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Monday, 26 September 2005 22:19 (nineteen years ago)

Just noticed The Sugarcubes' Life's Too Good was already nominated so I'd like to replace it with George Michael's Faith.

LeRooLeRoo (Seb), Monday, 26 September 2005 22:27 (nineteen years ago)

Oh cripes, go on - please replace my pick of 'Kiss Me' by Stephen 'Tin Tin' Duffy with 'They Don't Know' by Tracey Ullman.

And for my fourth album pick, by virtue of it being on my shelf as I speak -

Beat Happening - Beat Happening

William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 00:24 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks, Dr Bill, but you forgot my nomination of Ornette Coleman's album Virgin Beauty.

Sundar (sundar), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 00:38 (nineteen years ago)

And mine of Rosanne Cash's single "Seven Year Ache".

Burr (Burr), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 00:46 (nineteen years ago)

And Si C@rter's of Nirvana's Bleach! I almost considered replacing one of my noms when I noticed it wasn't on the list.

Sundar (sundar), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 00:49 (nineteen years ago)

Oh my god... to think I nearly missed this.

The Colourfield - Thinking of You
Blondie - Tide Is High
The Blow Monkeys - It Doesn't Have To Be This Way

Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love
Yazz - The Only Way is UP!


I'm sure there are loads I've missed. Was "Boys Don't Cry" 1980s?

Albums

ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

Scratch "Fond" as that came out in 1992. Replace with "Century Flower" by Shelleyan Orphan, which no-one will vote for, but is worth being there anyway.

ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 21:16 (nineteen years ago)

supposed to be singles, not just "tracks", ailsa. don't know if you just substituted the word or if those selections aren't eligible.

eek, Tuesday, 27 September 2005 21:20 (nineteen years ago)

Ailsa, I KISS you for your nominations (err..actually maybe I won't, you might not like that..)

2 albums left:

Al Stewart: Year Of The Cat
The Waterboys: This Is The Sea (although I can't help thinking I should have picked "Fisherman's Blues" but this one will do.)

Also, scratch the Leonard Cohen/Yazoo nomination - replace with Yoko Ono's fabulous "Walking On Thin Ice", please. Ta. Although less people are going to vote for it.

hobart paving (hobart paving), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 21:42 (nineteen years ago)

I suspect Velocity Girl might not be eligible then, since it was a b-side (even though it's more famous than Crystal Crescent, its A-side).

If that's the case, please replace with The Orchids "Lyceum" (which is an album).

ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 21:58 (nineteen years ago)

Ailsa, I KISS you for your nominations (err..actually maybe I won't, you might not like that..)

Not at all, hobart, it would be a pleasure, and you know it :)

ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 22:02 (nineteen years ago)

Year of the Cat ain't from no 80s.

peepee (peepee), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 22:08 (nineteen years ago)

"Self Control" was nominated already.

Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 22:11 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, I didn't even mean "Self Control", I meant "Gloria".

ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 22:16 (nineteen years ago)

I should have thought this through properly. Can I un-nominate "Century Flower" by Shelleyan Orphan (album), and replace it with "Brilliant Mind" by Furniture (single)?

ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 22:35 (nineteen years ago)

my 6 albums
The Police - Synchronicity
Wham - Make it big
Genesis - Invisible Touch
Faith No More - The real Thing

billstevejim (billstevejim), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 23:45 (nineteen years ago)

My 6th album is John Lennon/Yoko Ono - Double Fantasy.

billstevejim (billstevejim), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 23:52 (nineteen years ago)

zebedee (zebedee), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:24 (nineteen years ago)

if that shit is complete i totally owe you a candybar. i'll give people a day or so to go 'ahem ahem you forgots ______ which i clearly nominated above'. also i'm thinking i will let people vote for...100 albums and 100 singles unless someone can come up with a really convincing argument why i shouldn't. (obv you will not be required to vote for 100, merely given the option).

j blount (papa la bas), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:29 (nineteen years ago)

would you do 1000 points for the 1st placed song or album, in that case?

Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:35 (nineteen years ago)

i mean in terms of making it more like the 00s poll points-scoring system. This would be really complicated with that many albums/singles voted for though.

Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:36 (nineteen years ago)

Wow... 100 of each...the only good reason I can think of not to is that it'll be a bloody nightmare for you. Seriously, I regretted having as many as I did - from your perspective I'd recommend a re-think (although some people will whinge about not having enough choices no matter how many you give them). If you're willing to do it, though...

I'll never come up with 100 albums. 100 singles will be easy though.

hobart paving (hobart paving), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 11:00 (nineteen years ago)

And here come those boring "quibbles", I'm afraid...

Damned - "Smash it up" - this was 1979.
Dominatrix - "Dominatrix" "The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight"
Double Dee & Steinski - Lessons 1 - 3 - that's three tracks, issued completely separately: "Lesson One - The Payoff Mix", "Lesson Two - The James Brown Mix", "Lesson Three - The History Of Hip Hop".
Joe Jackson - It's Different For Girls - also 1979.
Nina Hagen - "New York, New York" "New York (N.Y.)"
NYC Peech Boys - Don't Make Me Wait
Patrick Cowley Paul Parker - "Right On Target" (written & produced by Cowley, but not performed by him).
Pretenders - "Brass in Pocket" - 1979.
Roger Zapp - "More Bounce to the Ounce"
Sylvester & Patrick Cowley - "Do You Wanna Funk?" (Cowley re-instated, hurrah)

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

Year of the Cat ain't from no 80s.
-- peepee (citywideva...), September 27th, 2005.

Grrr... my CD of "Year Of The Cat" says 1982, which is why I didn't bother to nominate it for the 70s poll.

Grrr again...

Checking the Al Stewart web site, you are right. Grrr...

I guess its too late to change it? Although hypothetically speaking, I'd want to change it to "Let it Bee" by Voice of the Beehive. Hypothetically speaking.

(worth a try. Don't worry if its way too late and you've already done the spreadsheet or something)

hobart paving (hobart paving), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:15 (nineteen years ago)

and yes, I do understand that the meaning of "no more nominations" is generally that you can't nominate anything else.

hobart paving (hobart paving), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:16 (nineteen years ago)

Also, Morrissey's Bona Drag is 1990.

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:17 (nineteen years ago)

100 votes sounds good to me. If that's a problem then I want at least 50. Or maybe I get 100 and everyone else gets 50.

Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:24 (nineteen years ago)

Bona Drag should be allowed on anti-rockist grounds alone. Besides, it's not Morrissey's fault his best LP doesn't fit in with ILM's decade fascism.

Jeff W (zebedee), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 14:01 (nineteen years ago)

"Brass in Pocket" didn't peak commercially until '80 in the US, I think most people consider it an "80s single". Plus it wasn't on the 70s poll so why not.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

also, I doubt it makes a difference, but if tabbing the top 100s gets to be too much of a bitch, I'd be glad to help out with that.

With this many nominees, I don't see how anything less than 100 could be possible.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 16:56 (nineteen years ago)

With this many nominees, I don't see how anything less than 100 could be possible,

The above makes no sense

But perhaps voters need not be limited by the nominations? I mean there are some very significant ommissions, it would be silly to vote leaving them out entirely. Nominations could be on an "advisory" level.

eek, Wednesday, 28 September 2005 17:01 (nineteen years ago)

But perhaps voters need not be limited by the nominations? I mean there are some very significant ommissions, it would be silly to vote leaving them out entirely. Nominations could be on an "advisory" level.

Haha! I like the way you throw this idea in just at the end of a month of nominations. I don't see it being a very popular move.

Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 17:08 (nineteen years ago)

yeah. Plus, compared to other decade polls, the "significant omissions" of this one are practically negligible.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

Based on the voting system proposed, I'm assuming separate singles and albums charts?

Otherwise "up to 100 per" pretty much guarantees singles domination.

it's not Morrissey's fault his best LP doesn't fit in with ILM's decade fascism

Ryan Adams and David Rawlings to thread. "naw dude it's Viva Hate..."

(xpost)
But perhaps voters need not be limited by the nominations?

Agreed. Also, restricting voters to the 80s seems kind of, I dunno, limiting. So maybe it could be more like 1978-1991? Also, I'd like to vote for books and movies. And that poster of Farrah Fawcett, which a lot of people still had up in the early 80s. And cars - Audi Quattro Coupe was CLASSIC.

rogermexico (rogermexico), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

ftr, I'm doing my singles list now and it's almost impossible to get it down to 100.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 18:23 (nineteen years ago)

The absence of Aldo Nova is a travesty.

gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 19:40 (nineteen years ago)

I see your Aldo Nova (helicopter noises - classic!) and raise you one Red Rider.

"Our Canadian one-hitters rock harder than their Canadian one-hitters!"

rogermexico (rogermexico), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

Shouldn't George Michael - Careless Whisper be credited to WHAM!?

Leeeeeeeee (Leee), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 20:03 (nineteen years ago)

And are we also going to ask people to send in their ages w/ their ballots?

Leeeeeeeee (Leee), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 20:16 (nineteen years ago)

ftr, I'm doing my singles list now and it's almost impossible to get it down to 100.

The only way that this would make sense would be if you had lots of titles tied at the end, right? Or do you think you should be voting for every track you really like? You're supposed to rank them. The cutoff point is arbitrary, independent of what you like--100 shouldn't be any easier or harder than 10, 35, etc., once you've ranked them. (well it would be harder if you couldn't find 100 you'd heard and therefore couldn't rank them)

eek, Wednesday, 28 September 2005 21:09 (nineteen years ago)

Based on the voting system proposed, I'm assuming separate singles and albums charts?

Er, yes. How else could it work?

Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 21:23 (nineteen years ago)

I'm assuming, as with past polls, it's okay to submit a ballot with fewer than 100 albums or singles. I mean, I've only heard a handful of albums.

jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, but you have to do twenty press-ups for every album short of 100.

Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 21:30 (nineteen years ago)

How else could it work?

Why, massive free-for-all, of course.

"careless whisper" is by wham! with an exclamation mark instead of a question mark though, but yes if george michael has a solo version i for one didn't nominate it

andrew s (andrew s), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 23:08 (nineteen years ago)

also, Marvin Gaye - "(Sexual) Healing"

i'm almost glad i missed the deadline. i can't fathom the amount of time i would have spent on this.

my name is john. i reside in chicago. (frankE), Thursday, 29 September 2005 02:15 (nineteen years ago)

"careless whisper" is (very understandably in retrospect) credited to george michael in the uk i believe, it was just another wham! song in the us. digression/story - at work a coworker had his ipod going and 'careless whisper' was playing and a customer asked 'who is this?' and he replied 'the clash' (cut to me doing a spittake), i corrected him 'this is wham! actually' and he replied 'wham!, the clash, one of them'. so in a far better universe than ours there exists a very important rock band named the wham and a glorious pop band named clash! . anyhow - noone has to vote for 100, people will only be required to vote for at least 20 albums/singles but before anyone gets any wild ideas however many you vote for will have no effect on how many points a record gets for its placement ie. a fifteenth place record will be worth as many points on a ballot with only 20 albums as one with 100 albums. my advice: go thru the nod list, clip and paste all the ones that prompt a strong 'omg i just gots to votes for that one!', rank em as you go along, and when you're done count 'em and if it's less than a hundred leave it be and if it's more than a hundred just delete the ones after the first hundred. by no means feel obligated to vote for 100 just cuz you can or there's some record you feel lukewarm about but mojo/rolling stone sez it matters so i guess i'll put it on there so the poll will be 'correct' in some way or god knows what. let your ballot reflect your tastes, passions. at least that's what i'm doing anyhow. more details forthcoming on officiale thread, which should be unveiled tomorrow if noone object to zebedee's accounting above.

godspeed, blount, i know the grim road you must travel

gear (gear), Thursday, 29 September 2005 05:09 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, "Careless Whisper" by GM and "Careless Whisper" by Wham! = same track. I used UK credits for UK artists throughout the list.

we need a ruling on mike t-diva's objections. personally, I think the Damned objection is a fair cop, very clearly not an 80s track, but I'd let all the rest in.

also Scoundrel Days is listed twice, one of these needs to be deleted

zebedee (zebedee), Thursday, 29 September 2005 08:41 (nineteen years ago)

when i look at what's in this list and what's missing i just despair - it's all part of the fun of nominating this way though.

Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Thursday, 29 September 2005 08:45 (nineteen years ago)

Was 'Love Vigilantes' a single in the US then? It wasn't in the UK. I mean, I welcome the opportunity to vote for it, but my pedant antennae are twitching..

Here's how I ranked the tracks:

1. Paste the list into Excel.
2. Add a blank left hand column.
3. Work down the list, marking every candidate for inclusion with an X in the left hand column.
4. Go to the top of the left hand column, and select Data - Filter - Autofilter.
5. Click on the arrow on the top left column, and select X. This will display just the tracks you've selected. (I was left with 154 out of the original 663.)
6. Copy and paste the filtered list into a new worksheet tab.
7. Taking successive groups of 10, re-order each group into order of preference.
8. Once you've got your groups of 10, highlight the top tracks in each group - the ones you absolutely ADORE, without reservation - in bold.
9. Next, highlight the bottom tracks in each group - the ones you could live without - in red.
10. Merge all your emboldened tracks together, in order of preference. That's your top set.
11. Merge all the non-bold, non-red tracks together. That's your next set.
12. Get rid of anything below line 100. Be brutal.
13. Work through the final list in your mind, one by one, starting from 100 and working up. Each time, the track you're concentrating on should be displayed on the top line of your screen, so you can't peek ahead. Click the Down arrow to get the next track. Is it REALLY better than the one before? If not, then re-position it lower.
14. Hey presto, you have your 100!

i pasted the list into Excel and instantly removed everything i hadn't heard or wasn't familiar enough with or knew i definitely wasn't going to rank and that left me with just over 200 tracks left to rank.

Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Thursday, 29 September 2005 10:13 (nineteen years ago)

I usually copy the whole list into excel. Then go down and put a '1' next to everything I've heard of might possibly vote for. Then I do a sort, and delete everything that doesn't have a '1'. Then I go back through what's left and give everything a mark out of 5, with 5 being essential and 1 being 'do I really like this?'. Then I do another sort, and delete any excess tunes. Then I start shuffling around what's left. I don't know why I feel the need to share this with the world.

"Love Vigilantes," "Age of Consent" and "Vanishing Point" are all non-singles. However, if we're allowing highly renowned album tracks to be counted--ones that have reps as high as the singles--then those def. should be counted, as they're probably NO's three biggest non-singles (all even on their '95 best-of). That said, being non-singles, I didn't vote for them--if for no other reason than it helped me narrow down my list to only 7 New Order inclusions.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Thursday, 29 September 2005 10:46 (nineteen years ago)

I concur, good doctor.

Buffalo Stan (Buffalo Stan), Thursday, 29 September 2005 10:56 (nineteen years ago)

wait wait wait. i misunderstood. the voting deadline has not passed, just the nominating deadline. oh shit. i guess i know how i'm spending the next few hours...

my name is john. i reside in chicago. (frankE), Thursday, 29 September 2005 14:23 (nineteen years ago)

wait, what IS the voting deadline?

The Obligatory Sourpuss (Begs2Differ), Thursday, 29 September 2005 14:29 (nineteen years ago)

Some of those Fall tracks -- The Classical and Eat Y'Self Fitter -- were album cuts, not singles. You could replace them with the contemporaneous "Man Whose Head Expanded" and "Lie Dream of a Casino Soul". See here:

I really don't think this singles bit is as big a deal as everyone's making it out to be--it just ensures that we don't have thirteen tracks from Doolittle splitting the Pixies vote and/or cluttering up the poll. It's not that hard at all to determine what the "major" tracks from an album are, even if you're not paying attention to what the singles or hits were.

Continuing with the Pixies example: "Where Is My Mind?" and "Debaser" might not have been singles (in the 80s, at least), but they're two of the band's best known songs (i.e. people who aren't huge Pixies fans but know a bit about indie rock probably still know them farily well), therefore they'd be kosher, but songs that have no life outside of their albums (like "Tony's Theme" or "There Goes My Gun") would not be. Simple enough.

--------------

Good Dr. Bill's clarification/ruling stands. i'm darryl strawberry btw (DARE ME TO CONFIRM AND WATCH ME AMAZE YOU), i only haven't revealed this out of shame of somehow getting the first line of 'it takes two' wrong. use your judgment people, i'm hardly gonna go 'uh uh uh - weren't technically a single!'. i was hoping to aim for consensus and avoid fanboys nominating 9 doolittle (but not 9 born in the u.s.a. or 9 thriller or maybe 9 sign o the times i forget) trax. use your judgement people. if i'm counting 'chronic town' as an album (and i'm not only counting it, i'm voting for it), i'm hardly gonna freak over 'debaser' as a single.

MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

Just starting to work my way through the singles list. I could have sworn I'd nominated Kraftwerk - The Model, and Loose Ends - Hanging on a String. But I didn't.

Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:37 (nineteen years ago)

Also, I hate to say it but The Wedding Present - Dalliance was nowhere near the 80s. It came out in the spring of 1991.

Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

I was kind of curious about that one too. Was it a pre-album single, maybe?

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Thursday, 29 September 2005 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

Mr. Blount, do we just send our ballots to you when we're done?

hobart paving (hobart paving), Thursday, 29 September 2005 18:09 (nineteen years ago)

I was kind of curious about that one too. Was it a pre-album single, maybe?

Yeah, it was a pre-album single in the spring of 1991. A different version of it was played as a John Peel session in very late 1990 (but not released until much later), but by no stretch of the imagination is it in the 80s.
