Interactive P..: Two or three projects, one singer

^ @Greg, yes, it's that one. I can see it now (it's the same for all Europeans, I think). It should be track no. 11, right before 'Morphine'. I guess you can't rearrange the playlist with a video that you cannot see. If so, I can make another 'European' playlist, but later today because I'm at work.

It will mean adding more bonus combos since that brings us to 28, but I think that's fine. Greg, what about publishing exceptionally the entire list of bonus tracks in the OP? The space in the poll slots is quite limited and it will be difficult to put the artist names and song titles of two entries next to each other.- You could inform people about the voting procedure by using the remaining space in the poll table e.g.

I missed this comment before as I was busy preparing my post for the poll at the time, which I guess addressed this anyway if not intentionally I just saw this now. While the bonus section is crowded, I think it should be easy enough to follow for anyone dedicated and attentive enough to be participating in the poll. I do have the master list in order and the videos in the playlist are in order, so not that hard to get it right

Since it is on the last page, and the first, I'll post it here again.

And here is the playlist for just the nominees:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4KUB6zJuKcbVOniE_dMyB6s



I ask that people vote for three songs with three different singers in the the main poll, and please vote for two songs in the bonus poll (if you did not include a bonus option, then voting here is optional). Please specify which songs you voted for in a post.


Here is the list of all the nominees:

Main:

Lewian:
1. Rainbirds - Waltz for Jane (Katharina Franck)
2. FM Einheit w/ Katharina Franck - Educacao

Suitkees
3. High Life Soundtrack - Willow (Stuart Staples)
4. Micatone - Handbrake (featuring Stuart Staples)

I prophesy disaster:
5. Notopia - Connect (feat. Peter Hammill)
6. Saro Cosentino - The Joke (feat. Peter Hammill)

Mila-13:
7. Richard Bona ft. Salif Keïta - Kalabancoro
8. Richard Bona & Alfredo Rodriguez - Raíces/Roots

mathman0806:
9. Heron Oblivion - Oriar (Meg Baird)
10. Espers - Flaming Telepaths (Meg Baird)

jamesbaldwin:
11. Treat Her Right - I Think She Likes Me (Mark Sandman)
12. Morphine - Free Love (Mark Sandman)

omphaloskepsis:
13. Free - Fire and Water (Paul Rogers)
14. Bad Company - Silver, Blue And Gold (Paul Rogers)

Cristi
15. How we Live - All the Time in the World (Steve Hogarth)
16. Steve Hogarth & Richard Barbieri - Red Kite

Logan:
17. Yann Tiersen with Elizabeth Fraser - Kala
18. Cocteau Twins - In the Gold Dust Rush (Elizabeth Fraser)

Baldjean:
19. Frumpy - Take Care of Illusion (Inga Rumpf)
20. Atlantis - It's Getting Better (Inga Rumpf)

21. INTERMISSION (not intended for votes)

Bonus :
22. Lewian: Katharina Franck - Wind Was Playing With My Hair
22. Suitkees: Tindersticks - Frozen (Stuart Staples)
23. Isildurs Bane & Peter Hammill - Before You Know It
23. Mila: Toto Bona Lokua - Ma Mama
24. Mathman: Meg Baird & Mary Lattimore: Damaged Sunset
24. Ompha: The Firm - Midnight Moonlight (Paul Rogers)
25. Cristi: Europeans - Going to Work (Steve Hogarth)
25. Logan: The Future Sound of London (aka FSOL) w/ Elizabeth Fraser - Lifeforms Pt. 4

Making those two songs each, I have (after INTERNMISSION):

22. Katharina Franck - Wind Was Playing With My Hair OR Tindersticks - Frozen (Stuart Staples)
23. Isildurs Bane & Peter Hammill - Before You Know It OR Toto Bona Lokua - Ma Mama
24. Meg Baird & Mary Lattimore - Damaged Sunset OR The Firm - Midnight Moonlight (Paul Rogers)
25. Europeans - Going to Work (Steve Hogarth) OR The Future Sound of London (aka FSOL) w/ Fraser - Lifeforms Pt. 4

The OR can be an AND if those are your two choices from the bonuses. In the poll I used / to sperate and had to shorten, but one can use this for comparison if it proves at all difficult. This is how I put it there.

22. Katharina Franck: Wind Was / Tindersticks: Frozen (S Staples
23. Isildurs Bane & Hammill: Before You../ Toto Bona L.: Ma Mama
24. Baird & Lattimore: Damaged.../ The Firm: Midnight...(Rogers)
25. Europeans: Going to Work (Hogarth)/ FSOL w Fraser: Lifeforms

It's a bit of a squeeze in the bonuses, but I wanted to fit them all in and have an Intermission. I hope it's not too hard for people to follow.

Thanks for all your contributions, y'all, and happy, hopefully, listening. :)

^ Thanks so much, Mila. I hope that people participate, and that some might even kind of enjoy doing so! But as the saying goes, no pain, no gain.

^ There is a playlist, three posts above your message...

Thanks very much for the votes, and for the comments (again!), Kees. Sometimes I have regretted second-guessing my self, but this time I was really glad I did due to the Yann Tiersen (Yann Tiersen is so great) and FSOL tracks particularly. I had put almost no thought into my original selection.

I'm thinking Friede might mean a link to all that have been mentioned (not just the nominated ones), otherwise I would not see why the playlist option is not a good one.

Friede, I know Kees addressed this, but easy access to all the music nominees and a link to listening to all the nominated are all in one post (on this page, the last page and the first post) with the youtube playlist I created which I have a hyperlink to on youtube and an embed. That said, I also posted all tracks mentioned in this poll in a youtube playlist in the original post that includes a playlist url link as well as an embed which you can use to view and listen to the list. Here they are again...

1. A link to the playlist of all songs posted in this topic:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4JuI7T3Xy9-YhO_YLeg6Sce

An am embed where you can view and shuffle through all songs posted in these pages.



2. A link to the youtube playlist just for the nominated tracks (plus the Intermission).

Since George (Mathman) started doing it, youtube playlist such as those have become the standard for these polls. I find it more convenient to listen to than following individual hyperlinks to each video from the thread (and listing all of those as embeds in one post would be way, way too many for page load).
The advantage of the playlist embed is that it's ad free. Listening to the playlist on youtube is fine for me too as it's ad free for me too there, and even on my phone I can play in background when I set it to desktop site. I pay for a youtube subscription for my eldest, but I admit to using adblock software very often.

EDIT: Forgot to mention if you're not familiar with embedded playlists, if you click on the icon at the upper ight of the video where it says, say for the complete playlist, 1/55, the complete playlist will drop down which you can choose to play and scroll through. I find the functionality very convenient, and it's easy to navigate to the video where you can scrub (move) through the songs for reminding one.

If you or Jean have any problems with those, please let me know and I will try to help. I hope you enjoy your listening.

PS I caught the making youtube playlists bug and if include song playlists to go with polls of mine, and I love listening to those playlists while driving. Here is a direct link to my channel's playlists (not that I would expect those other than me to care). CLICK

The songs with Inga Rumpf get my vote. Excellent singer. 

Edited by Cristi - May 15 2023 at 06:52

Since this poll centers around the singers, I will focus on the artists who convinced me most vocally, also through their artistic versatility that is recognisable from the songs chosen. Of course, the compositions themselves were also taken into account. The division into main and side categories were not really significant for me, though,
