Thank you so much, tigerfeet! One left to go, dwill123...If I don't hear by morning, my time, I will elect his first entry (as this has been done before) and will create a new voting topic for this poll. His will be the last one on the list, so hopefully, if he wishes to change it, people won't have gotten that far yet.

Just got confirmation that MortSahlFan's selection to nominate is Fariuza "Al Bosta."

Still need dwill123 and tigerfeet's selections, then we'll be good to go.

Where will I find the new poll, on the Prog Polls page?

If that is of any interest, I will be creating a youtube playlist. I could easily post it in the thread or give you the link so you could include it in your post? A playlist on spotify would be another option.

youtube playlists are fine.

As for spotifry, not everyone uses it (i.e. I don't), don't worry about it.

Thank you, Cristi! I'm glad you guys are so friendly and helpful. Smile

The new poll will show up in this same sub-forum (other music related lounges/general music discussions), these are usually non-prog related, although the person in charge of the individual poll can decide to allow artists listed in ProgArchives, it will be noted in the rules. They typically have the "Interactive Poll," descriptor.

Thank you for the offer, perhaps you and mathman0806 would like to get together on this, he typically does two YT playlists, one of all of the entries and one of just the nominations. He may sometimes need/want a break, but that would be between you two. Smile

He does post a link to his playlists in the threads of each individual poll.

Thank you for the info! The site is quite complex and a bit confusing for a newbie. I will have a closer look on the weekend. Smile

As for the playlists, I have not yet had the chance to talk to mathman. But I guess that I should get more familiar with the forum first and the rest will surely follow. Smile

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

There are some few others who participate not just here, but in the forum entirely, you are not alone! Smile

Good to see more, even though it means the line to the ladies room is longer. Wink

@ Snicolette

Very well said! I've always wondered why there are so few ladies in these music forums, no matter what genre. Now we have a possible explanation! LOL

First listen on the last two I'd not yet heard:

Dark Ness: Des'Re “I'm Kissing You” Another wow vocalist here. Simple piano accompaniment, later joined with an orchestral underpinning that gradually grows audibly. Very emotive love song. A lightness comes in on the instrumental break near the end, with a crescendo as the vocal rejoins in the mix. The song ends as it began, simply. Simply lovely.

MortSahlFan: Fairuz “Al Bosta” An electronic sort of modern sound with some jazz flourishes, along with a Middle Eastern vocal. There are touches of traditional Oriental orchestra, along with then, an electric band backing her, still bordering into jazz-rock, with a horn section as well. Flute-y, disco-y portion begins, with the sound of zils, much like if you were watching a belly dance performance, but electrified. Female chorus starts up (I can see a village/folk/line dance happening about halfway in) and horn section echoes the sound of mizmars, then back to the flute-y disco-y sound. Quite the journey!

^ Thanks Nickie. To think that even without the undecided that remain (a small number, mind you), that is one heck of a lot of entries and would have been a record (can't remember how many entries the last poll got, which was the biggest yet until this round).

Lovely that this, which was successful from the start, has been gaining this much steam a year or so after inception. What a series and what a journey. Geo's playlists have really helped, which was a great idea that added to Lorenzo's excellent idea, and of course the wonderful comments from those such as yourself make it really special. It works so well because it's an interactive team effort (those making the polls, commenting, voting, nominating, organising, discussing etc.) Worked beautifully -- I love the communal aspect of this, and camaraderie it engenders.

We are now waiting on just two more final nominations:

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

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

I'm also waiting on triple confirmation from MortSahlFan that indeed Fariuz is his final....we had messages that crossed.

Once I hear back from these two, I will create the new poll for voting, hopefully not much longer. Smile

^ When are you now planning to put the poll up? Just wondering when final nominations must be in by.

I made a mistake earlier with the list, and I don't want to mislead others with any comments, such as what I told MortSahlFan about final nominations. No pressure, good of you to take this on with Lorenzo's unfortunate accident. I'm also thinking about when I should do my next poll (although overlap is okay, and I have suggested that we could have the nominations process in one poll overlapping with the voting in another poll). Not a big deal, but I'm going to be very busy later on next week and would rather still do it on Tuesday if people are okay with that. Guess this would be better suited to Team Thread discussion.

ATTENTION Poll Entrants: Smile

Excuse the inconsistency of formatting, due to wanting this in here quickly:

We still need to hear from the following re final choice to enter into the poll:

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

Of the two, it has to be Janis Ian. Smile

^ Is that going to be your nomination for the poll, MortSahlFan?

The poll is supposed to be going up later today, so final nominations (just one choice per person for the poll) should be in by now (see OP for details if that was missed). Right now with you it's between Curved Air - Lovechild, Illusion - Madonna Blue, and that Fairuz one.

I suggested if no call is made then the first should be listed, so Curved Air - Lovechild in your case unless stated otherwise.
