Oh good Christ, how can I vote for just one?

― Matt M., Thursday, 22 October 2009 22:21 (fifteen years ago)

you just point your mouse at the little circle and then click on it.

― scott seward, Thursday, 22 October 2009 22:23 (fifteen years ago)

I'm surrounded by wiseguys today.

― Matt M., Thursday, 22 October 2009 22:57 (fifteen years ago)

No Smashing Pumpkins 91-95 (or 92-96)?

― krakow, Thursday, 22 October 2009 23:02 (fifteen years ago)

'Mats. But there are dozens of these runs I love.

― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 22 October 2009 23:09 (fifteen years ago)

Voted for Waits - nearly Talking Heads but I don't think their first two albums are perfect, just great.

― dog latin, Friday, 23 October 2009 08:02 (fifteen years ago)

Prince 79-83

― iago g., Friday, 23 October 2009 23:56 (fifteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Thursday, 29 October 2009 00:01 (fifteen years ago)

Part I is linked at top. Here's the other one: Greatest Five Year Runs, Part III

After these polls are done, Part IV will cover more current artists, and I'll do a nomination thread first.

― Fastnbulbous, Thursday, 29 October 2009 17:40 (fifteen years ago)

Oops, the above post was meant for Part II. Both linked at top.

― Fastnbulbous, Thursday, 29 October 2009 17:42 (fifteen years ago)

Voted Wire.

― We call them "meat hemorrhoids" (Alex in SF), Thursday, 29 October 2009 17:58 (fifteen years ago)

Voted Prince but jesus the Police were like the biggest band in the world.

― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Thursday, 29 October 2009 18:28 (fifteen years ago)

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

― System, Friday, 30 October 2009 00:01 (fifteen years ago)

um...somehow this result seems suspicious?

― dr. johnson (askance johnson), Friday, 30 October 2009 14:21 (fifteen years ago)

Yeah, it's kind of crazy how lopsided the results of all three of these polls have been.

― o. nate, Friday, 30 October 2009 14:53 (fifteen years ago)

Well, the last two anyway.

― o. nate, Friday, 30 October 2009 14:58 (fifteen years ago)

some dude wrote this on thread The Best 50 Powerpop Albums according to RYM on board I Love Music on Oct 10, 2009

i dunno, i remember being surprised at husker du's dominance in a couple polls in the past, maybe there's a silent majority of mould superfans on ILM

― itsybitsyspiderMk2 (some dude), Friday, 30 October 2009 15:08 (fifteen years ago)

one month passes...

is there a way for mods to track the IP of poll voters? i'm not saying, but i'm saying. dude's been at it for years. kinda ruins the point of having a poll
