INSTRUCTIONS
1. You must vote for at least 20 albums and 20 singles. You may vote for up to 100 albums and 100 singles. You may vote for however many albums and singles you wish so long as you vote for no more than 100 albums or 100 singles and no less than 20 albums or 20 singles.2. Mark your ballot clearly. Mark number placement beside appropriate record plz ie. put a "1" before your first place, a "37" before your 37th place, a "100" before your 100th place. This will be helpful to me. List them in a LIST, like so:
1. Jim McMahon - "Suck on this Petey"2. Prince feat. Carrie Fisher - "R U R2D2?"3. Band-Aid - "Do They Know It's Christmas?"etc.
4. In the e-mail with your ballot, right after or right before your ballot (but NOT in the midst of it) by all means feel free to include some remarks. Boring mojo canon style remarks are expected and welcomed I guess if you're really good at pulling off that sort of thing BUT what I'd really like is personal memories of the tracks ie. what it was like when it first dropped, when you first heard it, etc. I'm aiming more for oral history than yet more list type crit with the remarks.
5. E-mail Ballots to: ilx1980s@gmail.com . Deadline: HALLOWEEN
6. Point totals will be allotted like so: 1st Place - 300 pts. 2nd Place - 100 pts. 3rd Place - 99 pts. 4th Place - 98 pts. ... 100th Place - 2 pts.
Total Number of Ballots is first tiebreaker, Highest Ranking is second tiebreaker, Total Mentions on ILM as of Sept. 27, 2005 is third tiebreaker should it come to that.

On one hand, this will nearly guarantee that a song with *any* amount of non-isolated support will make the top 100 ... in past polls, songs/albums could get multiple #1 votes but not make the final list because there are only ten techno fans on this board, and their relatively pithy number of votes couldn't carry enough weight to compete with the Pavement fans.
Hopefully the list won't look like a "most #1 votes list", but if enough people vote -- ***and lots of people take advantage of being able to cast 100 votes*** -- then that shouldn't be the case.
EXCITING!!

I know I have quite a few songs I'm very passionate about and I'd like to see get heavy weight - perhaps since a top 20 is required of all voters, those twenty should be weighted more heavily?

But that's based on the preferences of millions of people while this is a poll of individual preference. This poll gives little incentive for a poster to make the list greater than 20. Why should 10 people fill out to number 70 when my number one alone has about as much power as all of their preferences combined? This poll will look like what would happen if we asked everyone to vote for their top five 80s songs and then proceeded to count from there. That would've been better too because it would've saved a lot of us a month of coming up with nominations and listening to stuff we haven't heard before because we wanted to know if it was good enough to make our top 100 or top 50, not top 20 or 10 (where sentimental and longtime favorites have a stronghold that is unlikely to be broken in a few weeks). This system will ruin the internet music community if you don't change it.

I have one question, can we send in our singles and albums list separate? I read the instructions and realize there are no modifications but no mention of this. The reason I ask is because I would like to tackle these lists one at a time, take a mental break and proceed onto the next one. Realize I could always hold on to it until they are both finished but I would rather send it in so I don't keep looking at it, agonize about placement and modify it over and over again.

Example: My #1 album is a dead obvious choice which will almost certainly place in the final Top 10. However, my #5 album is a much less likely candidate, which I'd like to see do well. The urge to place my #5 album in first position is therefore almost overhwelming. However, the dead obvious #1 album IS ACTUALLY MY FAVOURITE album of the 1980s.

#1 - 250 pts#2 - 200 pts#3 - 175 pts#4 - 160 pts#5 to #10 - decrement by 5 pts#10 to #25 - decrement by 3 pts#25 to #40 - decrement by 2 pts#40 to #85 - decrement by 1 pt#86 to #88 - 4 pts ea.#89 to #91 - 3 pts ea.#92 to #95 - 2 pts ea.#96 to #100 - 1 pt ea.
This results in about the same total amount of points per vote (5349 vs. 5334).
There's higher discrimination amongst the top 25 of each vote, moving 700 points from #26-#100 in Straw's system up to #1 to #25. And everyone's #1 vote is double their #10 so the ranking of top selections is still crucial.
BTW Straw I'd be glad to pitch in with tallying results if you need help.

This poll should get the "reboot" treatment that seems so popular in Hollywood these days. Keep the album nominations list (maybe let everybody add two more?) and we'll resend them all in.
My list would look drastically different as well - I think last time it was #1 Daydream Nation #2 On Fire #3 Stone Roses.

So, since Blount isn't around anymore(?) and the votes for the album poll are presumably lost forever, and I need some distraction from writing my thesis, I thought it would be fun redo the 1980s album poll. With a new nomination process and all. Do you folks think it would be a good idea if I'd rearrange the poll?

"would be fun to redo"
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 14:02 (sixteen years ago)
Yes. Please do it.
Many of the seminal electrodribble records were released in that decade.

For some reason I never participated the first time around, so I'd be up for this. I feel like the idea of having a "nomination process" for these polls is almost never necessary, though -- people should be able to just vote for whatever they want to vote, especially since I don't think it's nearly as hard to form a consensus for an '80s list as it would be for a '90s or '00s list. A suggestions thread or something would be cool, though, I just hate the idea of anyone not being able to vote for something just because it wasn't 'nominated.'

excited about this if you do it tuomas. might just be the synth brittania doc that has determined my listening habits for the last few days though.

Okay, I think I will do it then. I will include a nomination process though, if for no other reason than to make my job easier.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 15:19 (sixteen years ago)
Not trying to be argumentative, if you wanna do that that's cool, but serious question: how does it make your job easier? Doesn't that just add a whole other step to keep track of, and something you have to cross-reference every ballot with?
― some dude, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 15:22 (sixteen years ago)
Yeah, but having a pre-existing list of albums will make the final counting of votes easier, plus the various debates about whether something is a 1980s album will be solved during the nomination process. If we go straight to the voting, some people might include albums to their votes that were actually released in 1979 or 1990, and then I'll have to ask them for another, corrected vote, etc etc.

I've still got the ballot I sent in, yay OS/X mail. Away we go.

ILX 1980s ALBUM POLL REDUX: Nomination Thread (nomination time ends on Sunday, October 31st)
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 15:48 (sixteen years ago)
what if you kept the nominations above and had a short 2nd nomination process? like, people can add 2-3 things.
― iatee, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 16:05 (sixteen years ago)
^^^this.
― Samuel (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 21 October 2009 16:10 (sixteen years ago)
^^^yes

Sorry, too late. And I'm not sure if it would be fair to folks who've joined the board after 2005.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 17:40 (sixteen years ago)
I dunno why you want to create so much extra work for yourself (+ ilmors who are gonna have to scroll through a long ass page to figure out what has/hasn't been nominated)
― iatee, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 17:43 (sixteen years ago)
I mean the list is gonna look more or less the same either way, ilm's taste in 80s music hasn't changed drastically afaik
