Feel free to add your thoughts, I might be as flexible as a contortionist.  I was planning to create a poll which will be about thematic music in general. To be more precise, any musical piece from any type of cultural production -like theatrical productions, games, movies, TV programmes/shows, documentaries, stand-up comedies, operas or anything that utilizes music for thematic purposes- as long as it carries a thematic value. I'll try to convince people to abstain from using standart songs, and instead use thematic musical outputs. And, coming up with a Youtube video embodying a scene/scenes accompanying the music will be encouraged.  How do you see this idea, please let me know. Özgür It can work, but it is pretty close to the soundtrack theme, so I hope this only comes up after a number of other themes (which probably isn't that much of an issue because a number of people are on the waiting list if I'm right).

I completely agree and did mention my hesitation about doing it right after Logan's and micky's "theme related" polls. Thank you.

There can be some others before my turn, because if we do in Lorenzo's suggested order, mine and micky's will be too close. Mine will encompass TV soundtracks, as you can guess, albeit only thematic ones.

Theme music is the common definition, but I said "thematic music", as I want us to nominate musical pieces that are directly about the subjects or scenes accompanying the visuals. I guess it can also encompass audial things, like radio programmes. What I'll really insist on not to do is to include "standart" songs. Standart is a very general and unspecific term, but I hope you understand what I mean. For instance, it can be an instrumental theme, supporting a scene in a theatrical performance; or directly a part with vocals from an opera. I just don't find it proper to nominate a typical song off a soundtrack album. Visuals are not too necessary, if you think that a theme music makes you feel the vibe of the part that is used in the product. But a brief explanation about in which context the thematic music you nominated is used should help.

No problem for me too, but I still hesitate about it. I request to wait until other people also say their opinions.

I'm OK with doing it in mid-August. As I said, no hurry! Micky will chime in soon.

^ micky, dear, better to have a gap between yours and mine, because our subjects have an intersecting aspect. Lorenzo's suggestion seems fine to me.

not mentioned???  hmmm

goddamn right... 

By the way, I would like to offer to do another one in the future. I think I learnt a bit about what would work better from my initial attempt. I can;t say exactly when that will be (hopefully in October), but I have a few ideas. I wont be able to participate in everyone's poll (the nominating is easy, but the listening through and commenting takes time). I am going on a trip in August, and work means that I get very busy at times, but it's inconsistent and sometimes I get asked to do a project at the last minute and I have to scurry. I go periods with very little work and then I'm full bore, instead of just being full boring. I am much slower at doing my job than I used to be. I can't confirm when I would be able to do the next one, but I would like to do another at some time.

Grumpyprogfan, did you want to do one after the others that are queued up? I could go again after that maybe (if you do one). Partially because I have not been as consistent in these as various others, nor do I expect to be, nor added the same value in my comments or in discussion, nor have I helped to organise this, but still got my chance which was very nice, I would expect to be lower in priority than others (not just those that are already lined up to do one).
