I'll put up a poll shortly... (it'll be easier than you think, Christian Smile).

Wow, there's something going on here! And there are some quite interesting topic suggestions, two of which I have considered myself, at least as a basic idea: Contemporary chamber music (incl. cross-genre collaborations?) and folklore as a source of inspiration.

@George, have you already opened a new thread and if so in which forum section? I'm not quite sure I have understood your concept in detail, perhaps it would make sense to give the new format a name incl. a brief description so that the forumists understand that there is something new going on here?

Anyway, I'm excited for all of the good things to come! Clap

Avevo cominciato a leggere il italiano, ma poi ho compreso che c'e soltanto la cosa che avevo scritto io, probabilmente tradotto in modo automatico. Tongue

[QUOTE=Lewiano]
L'idea della musica da camera è piuttosto difficile ma mi piace, perché penso che abbia un potenziale molto alto per tirar fuori cose che mi piaceranno.

La difficoltà con l'idea del film è che non sono molto ben informato su ciò che viene utilizzato in quale film. In particolare quando guardo i film (mi piace il cinema), tendo a non ascoltare consapevolmente la musica, quindi anche se conosco il film spesso non riesco a capire quale canzone ci fosse. Quindi troverei difficile nominare qualcosa che non sia chiaramente dichiarato e "venduto" come colonna sonora, cosa che avevamo già come argomento. 
[QUOTE=Cristi]
A un certo punto mi sono venute delle idee:
- grandi canzoni su album non così buoni (potremmo fare un giro prog e un giro non prog)
- grandi canzoni sugli album di debutto (di nuovo, potremmo fare un giro prog e un giro non prog)
- uso del folklore nella musica rock/jazz/metal/classica e così via
- Giro divertente: grandi canzoni degli anni '80 (canzoni che ti fanno dire "gli anni '80 non hanno fatto schifo!"  LOL). 

[/CITAZIONE]
All'inizio avevamo un thread degli anni '80 (ero il game master lì), ma mi piacciono molto gli altri tre. (Ovviamente possiamo anche avere un altro thread degli anni '80, stavo solo dicendo... Ammiccamento)

A proposito, sono ancora pronto per i sondaggi interattivi, anche se posso vivere molto bene senza essere io a gestirli per il momento, poiché il mio carico di lavoro è aumentato parecchio dai tempi del Covid.  

Oh, e personalmente (tenendo presente il tempo limitato) preferisco come "standard" i sondaggi in cui alla fine ogni partecipante nomina solo una canzone. Ci sono state belle idee che coinvolgono più canzoni per partecipante e generalmente non sono contrario, ma apprezzerei di più vedere questo dire una volta su cinque sondaggi piuttosto che avere la metà o più sondaggi di questo tipo. (Ovviamente questo sono solo io personalmente, e alla fine sono contento che tutti quelli che ci intrattengono facendo un sondaggio con qualsiasi regola.)
[/CITAZIONE]

All the proposed topics are feasible. (Chamber music could give rise to long-lasting proposals).

As my personal taste, I would like to reintroduce the music of the 1980s. Or the theme of the Guilty Pleasure. Which is, in a certain way, the same thing. I wouldn't mind a poll of disco music either.

The chamber music idea is rather hard but I like it, because I think it has a very high potential to bring up stuff that I will like.

The difficulty with the film idea is that I'm not very well informed about what is used in what film. Particularly when I watch films (I do like cinema), I tend to not consciously listen to the music, so even if I know the film I often can't tell what song was in it. So I'd find it hard to nominate anything that isn't clearly declared and "sold" as a soundtrack, which we had as topic already.

We had an 80s thread in the early days (I was the game master there), but I do like the other three a lot. (Of course we can also have another 80s thread, I was just saying...Wink)

I'm by the way still up for interactive polls, although I can live very well with not being the one who runs them for the moment, as my workload has increased quite a bit since Covid times.  

Oh, and personally (keeping limited time in mind) prefer as a "standard" the polls where ultimately every participant nominates just one song. There have been nice ideas involving more songs per participant and I'm not generally against that, but I'd appreciate more to see this say once in five polls rather than having half or more polls of this kind. (Of course this is just me personally, and ultimately I'm happy with everybody who entertains us running a poll with whatever rules.)

There are so many well know and lesser known songs/tracks used by films that I think this could be very open...

But I'll let you go first, Cristi, if you wish.

No, it's fine, there is the chamber music idea, and yours is really good, I could go after that, no problem. Tongue

Adding my reply from the poll.

Don't we need a theme for the playlist? Or is it random songs? That would be a chore to go through. 


Kees has nailed the idea. With a theme. And in particular fir the one I am thinking of, contempory chamber music/ chamber rock based on a recent thread started by Negoba. I would use Logan's YouTube thread idea of asking to post one video at a time. Person can post more than once. Try not to repeat artists. I use the poll structure to list the music but voting is optional.

This can be done with any theme. I only chose chamber music because of the recent thread and personal interest. This should be more casual and the theme would draw some who participate in the Intereactive Polls and some who do not. So, it could run separate to a "true" Interactive Poll.

You picked The Doors' 'The End' as a mascot for a poll titled 'Live Again', no wonder things went downhill . . LOL

But seriously Lorenzo, your initial idea of the current poll was to limit listening time but then, out of the blue you doubled it instead! And now you are surprised that people don't vote? At the very beginning you had even this time-consuming voting procedure in mind, although experience had shown that this was not popular. And btw. do you remember that at the end of the previous poll Malcom/Tigerfeet came back with the intention to join the next, that is the current poll and Cristi also showed some interest? Obviously they were not thrilled about the concept of your poll.

Sure, there are also other reasons why the number of participants has decreased over time, but that's all the more reason to make sure that the remaining participants stick with the IA-polls. Sinking into despair and self-pity, won't get us anywhere. So, let's try a fresh start after the holidays, with enthusiasm but also with all these insights in mind! Wink

Agree with the above. These polls fun, interesting, and a great reminder of all the wonderful music I don't know. I have just been busier than usual lately, and my slow participation of late (still have to vote in the live poll) is not a reflection of the polls themselves

Yes, I hope it just paused, because these polls are for me one of the most interesting parts of PA. But, as I said before, I've not much time at hand, especially during the week, which makes my presence here rather intermittently (which clearly is the case for others too...).

If/when I have an idea for a new poll - and some time - I will not hesitate to bring it forward.
