So I suggest this if keeping the user names which just fits:

Silvia Pérez Cruz - Mañana (Mila) or Ennio/Edda - Cosa...(L)

I don't know what the maximum number of characters is that enter in a poll space, but in an earlier message I gave a shorter version, hoping it will be short enough:
Henryk Gorecki, Symphony n° 3, 2nd mvt. with Zofia Kilanowic

Personally, I don't think that mentioning the member names in the poll options is that essential. Especially if/when George is putting up a YT-playlist, I don't pay attention at all to who put up what, but only to the music, and for me the member name doesn't enter into consideration (otherwise I would have always voted for Lewian's suggestions, but I discovered he has some bad taste too... Tongue ).

I did see that, later, and have now made note, thanks for reminding me!

Good thought there, too, re the member name, we've done it both ways, no decisive way has been concluded upon.

Hello Pollsters, sorry to get your attention like that, but I got word from Lorenzo (jamesbaldwin) that he has sadly broken his knee and it's difficult for him to be writing right now.  Please join me in wishing him a speedy recovery.
Ouch! I feel your pain brother. I had a portion of a broken knee cap removed when I was 15. Hip to ankle cast for 10 weeks then physio for almost a year to get the knee to fully bend again.

One question though...How does he write with his knee?? LOL

Get well soon Lorenzo ! Thumbs Up
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

ATTENTION POLL PARTICIPANTS:

I will open a new poll topic tomorrow to open for voting.  In discussions in the Team Members group, it seems that Logan's idea of sharing the space will be an agreeable option to all.  I will keep track of the votes in the replies post for the split spot.  

Here is a list so far of the poll selections, please make sure that by tomorrow morning, Pacific Daylight Time, you have your selections made so I can create the poll.  

  1) Sade - "Is It a Crime" (Raff)

  2)  Katinka - "Idioter" (The Anders)

  3) Charming Hostess - "Laws of Physics" (TCat)

  4) Offa Rex's "The Queen of Hearts," (Snicolette)

  5) Edda Dell'Orso (Ennio Morricone) - "Cosa avete fatto a Solange" (Logan)

  6) Lau Nau - "Juokse sinä humma" (Hiram) 

  7) Helium Horse Fly - Adrift (I prophesy disaster)

  8) Lush - "Monochrome" (Mirakaze)

  9) Ginevra di Marco - "Vedrai Vedrai" (jamesbaldwin)


10) Dida Drăgan - Să nu lovim nicicînd un porumbel (Cristi)

11) Henryk Gorecki - Symphony n° 3: Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, 2nd movement, with Zofia Kilanowicz (Soprano) (suitkees)

12) Cara Dillon - The Lark In The Clear Air (Ronstein)

13) You Can Fall – Broadcast (Lewian) 

14) Bent Knee – Being Human (mathman0806)


I know it can be difficult going through the choices to see what people posted, and hopefully this helps with the others (sorry if I made any mistakes).

I'll start with the known ones since only one option was listed or in Cristi's case he made a decision already:

15: Cristi: Dida Drăgan - Să nu lovim nicicînd un porumbel

16: Easy Money: Billie Holiday  -  "Strange Fruit"

17: Gentle and Giant: Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2U

18: Moshkito: Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention - One More Chance 

19: JD: Edith Piaf - Non, Je ne regrette rien

20: Mila-13: Silvia Pérez Cruz - Mañana (to be listed with mine as said earlier, but just for this record)

-----

These are the undecided methinks, if undefined by tomorrow, I suggest going with the first track of each:

21: dwil123: Roberta Flack - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, Anita Baker - Sweet Love, Gladys Knight - License to Kill

22: tigerfeet: Anneli Drecker - Morning Glory, Maura O'Connell - First You Cry, Angel Snow - Coals And Water or an Annie Lennox?

23: yam yam: Tea and Sympathy - Janis Ian, Sandy Denny - All Our Days (love the T&S song)

24: Progishness: Annie Haslam - Going Home, Curved Air (Sonja Kristina) - It Happened Today,  Janis Joplin - Piece of My Heart, Doris Day - Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps

25: MortSahlFan - Curved Air - Lovechild, Illusion - Madonna Blue,

26: Dark Ness: Des'Re - I'm Kissing You, Cassandra Wilson - You Don't Know What Love Is

^ NO problem, the topic search coupled with Lorenzo's names in the poll options made it quite easy.  EDIT: TMI

Thank you so much for your help, Logan.  The only part I'm not sure of is allowing a split vote?  Not sure if that will matter in creating the new poll, since I can't edit this one.  It may just be a matter of my tracking votes as noted for each, though, but I'll see in the morning, once I've had coffee, it's one of those things that must be tackled as a piece, rather than being able to come back to it, as far as setting the poll.

I don't know how many ladies there are in our forum but this theme felt just right for me to introduce myself through music. I can't wait to listen to all the other songs lined-up! Smile

In that case I nominate: Janis Joplin - Piece of My Heart (my other choices are far too personal to myself).

@Nickie & Greg: Cristi seems to be mentioned twice in your combined lists (n° 10 and n° 15). Does this mean we have 25 possible nominations or did we miss someone?

Edit: chopper seems to be missing, but I think he hasn't nominated his choice yet.

Haven't commented yet on the latest suggestions, so here we go, to make it complete:

yam yam: Janis Ian, another great artist, but it's been a while I've heard a song of her... Tea and Sympathy is really a very beautiful song, a wonderful voice, of course, and modest but moving orchestration - piano and strings - to accompany her. Sandy Denny has indeed been suggested before - All Our Days is a great choice, a very delicate song here too underscored by a - somewhat richer - orchestration. However, I think I prefer Janis Ian out of these two.

Dark Ness: Des'ree with Kissing You, I remember this one from Baz Luhrman's film. Very soulful and skilled voice, but I'm not a fan of the tremolo, and the song is more romantic than emotional, to my ears. I prefer the delicacy of Cassandra Wilson's song - acoustic guitar and voice, later joined by a violin. Another warm and soulful voice, very much in restraint. Beautiful!

Mila: I know Sílvia Pérez Cruz because she contributed music to the beautiful film Blancanieves. Mañana is indeed a great choice for this poll. Very Spanish with the guitar, violin and double bass (I love that) and what a splendid voice she has! Great choice, and welcome to PA!

Thank you Kees! I'm glad you like my choice. The song is maybe a bit oldfashioned/traditional. I had several options - all of them in languages other than English but I had to decide quickly since there was actually no space left. Thanks to Logan I'm in. I have not yet had the chance to listen to any of the songs but will do so as soon as the poll starts. Smile

It was one way to get involved without necessarily getting into a discussion. I like checking the thread out every now and then to get inspiration on what to listen to.

Hi, thanks for the tip, will certainly follow your sugestion.
