POLL title POLL POLL putting POLL in threat POLL title POLL

went with Rock and Poll

abbott g. shygarten

tbh i think it's kind of annoying too, but when you're doing a search for a poll thread, it helps b/c search results don't tell you if it's a poll or not

(admittedly this only helps so long as at least one of the other words is searchable)

I think accusations of me being cranky will win by a landslide.

This is an apPOLLing trend.

Okay see I would love it if they were actual puns.

cranky, but poll ran it close

best poll ever!

Yeah, I'm glad someone brought this up again because I find it really annoying as well.

I must remember to do more of this

Hahahah

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Best Poll Ever

I am tempted to link to it very time a thread title gets me easily-gotten goat.

also every time

yeah you should link to it!

Take over!

Abbott and I would like Geir and others to stop abusing the word "Poll" in their poll titles. A particularly exemplary example that Abbott just now gave was

"Simply Poll: The Best Simply Red album"

It has no fucking meaning, people. It's just plain stupid.

Geir, I love you to death for doing so many Genesis polls (it's helped me get further into those albums, thanks very very much) but as Autumn Almanac stated, you are abusing the word POLL in your POLL titles. "Polling England By The Pound" is unacceptable.

Thanks for listening.

I made that one up btw but it has verisimilitude up the ass.

You made it up? Brilliant.

I have found out that toying with an album title putting "Poll" in there may be a bad idea because it makes it harder to use the Search function. So instead, I am trying to use a songtitle or a line from one of the tracks for a pun now. Also gives more to choose from, leaving out the worst puns.

The Poll Polls Down on Pollway

Hahahahah. Yeah, man. That will really help things, Geir. Like that will really really help things. Geir, we love you, but man...

Glad you linked to that particular poll, Noodle, though, cause in the middle of my huge Genesis trip, the other day I suddenly thought "Carpet Crawlers! Oh my god I'd completely forgotten about that song!" and Eureka! I did purchase it on iTunes and all was well.

Ah Bimble, wait till I do my Flux of Pink Indians "The POLLing POLLs POLL Us Like POLLs/The POLLing POLLs POLL Us Like POLLs" poll.

hahahahahaahahahahahah

You know, Geir, I actually don't feel terribly strongly about all of your poll titles except that I'd like to be able to dig them up later in the search engine, probably. And you don't have to change if you don't want to. I very honestly and non-sarcastically admire your creativity with your poll titles. But might I humbly suggest that you name polls the way I name mine - "ARTIST - ALBUM" plus the word POLL maybe. That's how I name my polls. You don't have to do the same thing, but it's just a suggestion. Thanks, Geir. I'm in debt to you for starting all these lovely Genesis polls anyway.

I wasn't crazy about the recent happenstance when someone named their "Children of God" poll "Children of God" without Swans in the title, either. Because then if someone doesn't know the album, they have to go through a lot of guessing as to what everyone else is talking about, and I love that album just as much as lot of other people.

I'm just trying to be helpful, here. Not meaning any offense to anyone.

Do you folks realize that someone (Hoos I believe) has done a poll of a Clash singles compilation and had the audacity to call it "POLLGLES"? What has happened to humanity? Ship is going down. I've lost all hope.

tbf, the word "Clash" gives it some.

Well you're definitely right about that, Mark. Good work on that front, Hoos! :)

wait.........

did geir.....adapt...........in responce to criticism......?

did I see that correctly?

my mind is blown to pieces

I have entered the other realm

this one's a new low imo: "It's Friday, I'm a Poll" - The "Wish" Poll

I don't think I get it... Is the original lyric "it's Friday, I'm apalled"?

It's "Friday I'm In Love"; and yeah, that's pretty bad.

"To Wish ImPOLLsible Things" woulda been a LOT better. (Only took me 45 seconds to think that one up - and that includes the time spent on AMG researching the song titles.)

A Poll of Seapolls

omg how did I miss this magic moment:

I don't think I get it... Is the original lyric "it's Friday, I'm apalled"?
