A second poll

[mx]

Since this was brought up after the first poll was made, vote on what's next. I think the new suggestion is important enough to merit this.

[Iluvatar]

The multiple genre thing would be neat, but customizable lists still gets my vote.

[slit_21]

I think both would be great

[Dave de Sylvia]

I've never been too pushed on customisable lists, but I love the idea of multiple genres.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Customizable lists, please don't let it lose. :(

[DesolationRow]

Customizable lists. Mos Def.

[pulseczar]

Definitely multiple genres, it would help out a lot with bands like Opeth, Frank Zappa, David Grubbs etc. If people want to make lists so badly, then just make up a list and post it as a journal.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Don't make me yell at you people :mad:

[DesolationRow]

STFU, Tom!!!!!

[Thor]

Lists would be better. Having multiple genres for bands would get confusing, methinks.

[morrissey]

Multiple genres needs to win, don't make me edit the poll. :mad:

[kno_kontrol]

easy choice, customizable lists are so much cooler

[Storm In A Teacup]

Don't you dare, Moz. Don't mess with the poll and if you do it better be only to have custom lists win. :mad:

[Dave de Sylvia]

Multiple genres needs to win, don't make me edit the poll. :mad:
Do it!

[DesolationRow]

*creates a thousand fake accounts and votes for lists.*

Sorry mods, you're outnumbered on this one. :evil:

[Iluvatar]

I will protest by reviewing American Idiot on 6 different accounts. Don't you dare.

[pulseczar]

Right, so when are the other smart people going to show up to vote?

[Storm In A Teacup]

*furiously creates 1,000,000 accounts to vote against teh mods*

Edit:
:smash:
Tom

[DesolationRow]

As soon as all you right winged conservative commies diez0rz!

And Iluvatar's blackmail technique is by far the most non negotiable threat ever.

[Jom]

Just do both.

Problem solved, hm?

[pulseczar]

Commies are left-wing you douche bag. :mad:

[Zebra]

Customizable lists get my votes.

[DesolationRow]

Tom, sign on MSN you queermo.

Fine, you are fascist!

[Storm In A Teacup]

Nothing like an arguement to start a msn group conversation. :p

[masada]

Multiple genres.

[DesolationRow]

Noooo

[Storm In A Teacup]

Damn you, Tom, for what you've done!

[pulseczar]

I did what's best for Mother Russia!

[Storm In A Teacup]

You Russians would cheat! :mad:

[Liberi Fatali]

Meh, I'd rather you focus on fixing the bugs:
- the problems with searching bands with symbols in their name
- make it so that coding does not appear on the main page for the featured review blurb, it is really ugly seeing Artist on the main page.
- fix the buggy music timelines
- put in a "was this muse well written?" thing at the bottom of muses, they deserve credit just like reviews
- this (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/showthread.php?p=12562411#post12562411)
- Announce the sputnik newsletter to the masses of mx (do this closer to the send out date and this can be done by any of the spud mods)

It isn't the attractive choice, but buggy websites are soooooo annoying. Websites that bomb you with features and options are annoying too. So if I have to choose out of the two, I'd for the multiple genres for bands. Some bands traverse over so many genres that limiting them to 1 is quite annoying.

[kno_kontrol]

yeah, but multiple genres will make the "Underoath is/isnt mainstream rock" debate, as well as many others, increase 10 fold

[Dave de Sylvia]

Yeah, but nobody reads that crap anyway.

[Hep Kat]

I went with multiple genres.



tie-breaker++

[kno_kontrol]

screw you and your multiple genre loving self asshat

just kidding, I just think its a bad idea

[niobium]

Well...

I just made it mulitiple genres 12, customizable lists... 11

[masada]

yay

[Iluvatar]

I hate you.

[niobium]

I hate you.:smooches:

[Iscariot]

Multiple genres is definitely more important than customizable lists.

[Damrod]

Multiple genres needs to win, don't make me edit the poll. :mad:

:lol: Good one. :thumb:

From the discussion that is going on right now regarding some bands, I think it would be interesting to see multiple genres appear. Examples:

Underoath: Have been Metalcoreish/Hardcoreish, went Pop-Punk/Pop-core, on the way to Post-HC in a way with their new album

Thrice: Progression from Melodic Hardcore to Post-Hardcore

It could very well end the genre discussions.

I have to admit though, that Liberi has a point with a few of the things he listed (though it seems that Liberi did not notice tht the timeline-thingy IS debugged and works like a charm, as well as the coding for the main page :p). I think the main thing he has is the search-problem.

But out of these two things (just to make the mod's life easier) multiple genres

[The Jungler]

I like it when my ideas are recognized.

I'm not voting because both are great ideas.

[Storm In A Teacup]

If mult. genres wins (and it appears it will :'[) I think that on the band page an actual sentence should be on top where the genre goes saying something like Damrod said on page 2 (ex. "hrice: Progression from Melodic Hardcore to Post-Hardcore).

[Liberi Fatali]

though it seems that Liberi did not notice tht the timeline-thingy IS debugged and works like a charm, as well as the coding for the main page :p)
Are you sure the coding for the main page, when my Joni Mitchell review was featured there were big [L]'s all over it. And it was only featured about a day or two ago.

And wicked, /me goes to fix timeline

[Zesty Mordant]

Def multiple genres. It will clear up like 90% of the arguments on this site, plus more "professional" sites like allmusic.com often have bands cross-listed in terms of genre.

and we should strive to be just like allmusic.com

[Liberi Fatali]

Not just like.

Similar, but more user interactive.

[FA]

Multi genres. I don't really know why though.

[Damrod]

Well, the last review that was featured had no tags displayed on the main page, and it had the ... thing in the first line :confused:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Multiple Genres fo sho

Multiple genres it is
