Touch and Go Records 1986

'00s full decade.

pre-1960 singles poll

voted "blow out 00s polls," but "geir" was a close second

^this -- i have jack shit to do this summer so i don't mind doing it

will redo poll when this one ends w/ 05-09/pre60

actually, i'll third Al w/ the "write-in vote for 2005-2009 half decade poll"

that one would be the most interesting

fewer polls more geir would make ILM more readable tbh, but I know I am very alone on this one

not a top100 of broken social scene threads? xpost

i'd rather go full decade 00s at this point. i see the merits in doing 05-09 first, but it would just make the inevitable full decade poll way exhausting.

Mayyyyyyyyyyybe you should prioritize job search over ILM poll? ;-)

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

yeah i'm just gonna start up the decade poll in mid-june -- i'll do a full decade/05-09 poll

meaning an actual ilx poll to decide which ballot poll we'll end up doing

Too much polling for polls!

Thing is, nobody ever sees these polls besides us. Our findings aren't published by a medical journal or anything. We should just get an 05-09 poll out of the way (not that it wouldn't be fun in its own right) and then do the decade a year from now. And lj's poll with its write-in philosophy was fun, but I wouldn't want to do that again. Nominations and a master list plz.

Okay, so just to have things in a convenient place, here are the 2000-04 poll results:

ILM Top 100 2000-2004: ALBUMS
ILM Top 100 2000-2004: TRACKS

I fully support doing a 2005-09 poll first, split between albums and tracks just like the original half-decade poll. I'll handle the tabulation and presentation of one of these if you want to handle the other, J0rdan. I figure we can nominate for the rest of May, vote through June, and then reveal the results throughout July. Good?

yeah that sounds good to me

i'm thinking 25 nominations a person, then voting for 50 albums AND 50 tracks (i.e. 10 a year)

zoinks, 50-spot ballots are large. Just doing 40-spot ballots on the '70s alternate poll had me going nuts. Maybe we could trim that to 30? Discuss.

yeah i think you're right actually -- omar's film poll only had 40 placements & that was for the whole decade -- 25/30 sounds find to me

ok so no need to redo this poll, 05-09 as obv? if you wanna share it jordan, 1 of us on singles, 1 on albums then just holler.
