4 minute max songs OR instrumentals to clarify. I am aiming to hearing some short but sweet tunes as it seems we tend to go for longer pieces. Also as an homage to the old standard 45 single length of 3 to 4 minutes.

vocals or no vocals? or just instrumentals?

Either. It's open vocals or no vocals. Or should I restrict to just vocals?

I think it would be interesting to have an instrumental one and another for vocals with the 3-4 minute restriction.

I don't remember who, sorry Embarrassed, but a round of instrumental was suggested, someone was thinking it was a good idea.

Then it will be 3-4 songs with vocals. Yes, it still is wide open, but should be interesting to see how we view music that we like in 3-4 minute length. There's a tendency in the polls to have longer songs. The last poll had 13 of the 16 over 4 minutes. (Also, keeps our listening time down. Smile)

Max 4 minutes is a good theme (not sure though why you wouldn't allow <3 minutes). Personally I don't see why it needs a restriction of vocals or non-vocals, but I happily take part in whatever it'll be.

The thing with this kind of suggestion, even though what you write is not wrong, is that you can't plan other people's polls. So unless you're planning to run an instrumental one yourself, that one might as well never happen if things are restricted to vocals now.

I believe it is Lorenzo's turn, not sure when he is back from his holiday, though.

It wasn't my intention to interfere, I was just sharing the idea. I can make one eventually, depending on the current schedule.

Lorenzo's list on one of the previous pages has me at 8/31 and him at 9/7. We're now in between, as we haven't been strictly one poll per week. I am okay to start one this week or not.

Right you are, George!  I was remembering that he was gone for August and then it would be his turn, but you've not had yours yet.  It IS barely Sept after all.  Smile

Yes, you are right!

You can open the poll, but if you prefer you can wait until saturday/sunday.

I will open my poll on the 9/14.

Got some time right now, so I will probably open it up tonight. We can run the nominating period longer than usual. Now, to draft the opener and determine my songs.

Dear friends, 

The poll that I will open on Monday 14 will have songs from the Sixties as its theme.

Dear friends, waiting for Logan to tell us if he intends to open the next poll, who is a candidate to open those of the following weeks?

As I said, at some point I'd like to do one about all things electronic, but I think it's some other people's turn first (haven't counted though).

I just did the previous one on 2-4 minute dongs, but would like to sometime in the future follow with the non-prog epic poll, maybe 8-15 minute songs, but with one nomination (maybe allow one alternative) to keep the time not too crazy.
