One Vote Wonders: Galleria of Sadness playlist discussion (ILM Polls the 20th Century spin-off)

Rather than cluttering up the main poll results thread, I am starting this in case anyone else wants to discuss this playlist consisting of tracks which only received on vote:

http://retro.grooveshark.com/#/playlist/Galleria+of+Sadness/40389687

I like "The Golden Core" by Motorpsycho a lot, first time I've heard it. I checked out one of their other tracks before voting and was turned off and didn't listen to any of the remaining songs.

This is not an accurate list. Missing (as already mentioned) Darcy Clay- Jesus I was Evil, The Clean, Puddle and Bats songs.

I never knew "Sail on Sailor" was the Beach Boys! Never knew the title either, and haven't thought about this song for a while.

Sorry am I wrong or just being ignored because of my idiotic foolishness and complete lack of cool.

I'm not keeping track, and the complaints need to be directed to Captain Lorax. I can understand caring about it, but I am not interested in whether it's missing a few tracks (aside from the ones I sent links to Lorax for).

Also I would say don't worry about it because I'm pretty sure this thread is doomed and was doomed from its inception.

Have patience my friend.

Perhaps there is a legion of disgruntled century voters just ready to unleash vociferous defences as well as a group of smug yet curious cannoners that will make this- THE GREATEST THREAD OF THEM ALL.

I didn't realize you made this thread until right now. I had finally finished updating the playlist (grooveshark's server has been slow and not letting me upload everything). So your #1 Umm Kulthum track is there now along with Spratleys Japs - Fanny.

I'm really glad you enjoyed 'The Golden Core'. It's a long track so I'm glad you didn't hit skip. I think it's phenomenal. I blasted it on my headphones when I watched the last batch of 4th of July fireworks over a river earlier this year. It sounded appropriate. (Then I typed 'The Golden Core' into youtube and realized that Motorpsycho played it over fireworks as well during one of their concerts).

Rudipherous, I listened to Umm Kulthum and your other Arabic one vote wonders when I was doing some Christmas work around the house and it really did feel like a more traditional Christmas ;) (they were enjoyable as well)

This is not an accurate list. Missing (as already mentioned) Darcy Clay- Jesus I was Evil, The Clean, Puddle and Bats songs.

I didn't put songs that received less than 170 points (ranked lower than #85 on anyone's list)

I mean, erm, if #85 was your #15 song and #100 was your #1 song
nevermind.

1357 Lorraine Ellison - Stay With Me 178

I'd been meaning to go back and see where this one landed. I can't BELIEVE that only I voted for it. :(

So your #1 Umm Kulthum track is there now along with Spratleys Japs - Fanny.

Great. I thought maybe it was too large to load, or too large to want to be bothered with.

Actually, Fairouz does Christmas music, even some you'd recognize:

these were mine:

1307 Tommy Johnson - Cool Drink of Water Blues 188
1374 Simply Saucer - Illegal Bodies 176

I'm liking this Les Rallizes track. (This is my second or third listen.) Never really cared for anything else I had heard by them previously.

Half of my ranked section ended up in the Galleria ;_;

1273 Jorge Ben - Hermes Trismegisto Escreveu 194
1295 Planxty - The Blacksmith 190
1318 Sly and The Family Stone - Sing a Simple Song 186

Ok, 3/8 of my ranked section.

proud of my Ernie K. Doe and Elmore James votes

a lot of great songs on this list

Alexander Skip Spence — Grey/Afro

I can't believe I am the only one who voted for this song!

OTOH maybe I can. It sounds like a man dying while playing the bass in a bathroom.

dying of malaise

This Zappa is really unlistenable, though I think I'd say that about most Zappa at this point.

I enjoyed hearing that Zappa song. Basically all Zappa is new to me - I never tried to get into his music
Yet somehow I remember and enjoy one of his longer tracks and I don't how, when, or why I first listened to this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy59LMpMmbI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mniabUE3G-Q

only one with love for All the Things We've Made. Guess they should have made something better.

yeah it was called 'romance of the telescope', a bunch of us voted for it

I'm liking this Les Rallizes track. (This is my second or third listen.) Never really cared for anything else I had heard by them previously.

i'd have voted for that

1258 Juliette Gréco - La valse brune 198
1263 Love Inc. - R.E.S.P.E.C.T. 196
1295 Dean Martin - Sway 190
1307 Curtis Mayfield - The Makings of You 188
1318 Edith Piaf - Milord 186
1337 Uakti - Arrumaçao 182
1381 Grace Jones - Demolition Man 174
1391 Hardfloor - Once Again Back 172

These were all from my ballot. All in all I think maybe 1/3 of the tunes I voted for was voted by no one else, it was kinda sad to see that.

The ILX Hivemind lives.

this rallizes denudes track is a blaaaaaast

dude loves his guitar, eh
