AM Best of 2006

[Wojtek]

Again I'd love to prepare and conduct annual edition of AM Best of... poll and show.
Do you say "yes"?

If so... we'll start preparations soon!

[lotus]

Of course YES, Woj!!!

[Wojtek]

By the way, I wonder what would be a good name for the poll. Last year we had Aural Moon Awards and Rick was right having pointed out that it had same abbreviation as American Music Awards. I didn't know that there was another AMA poll .
So well... now the question of poll name is open!
...but no Golden Hogs, please...

[VERNIXX]

The Purple Furry Marshmallows, of course.........

[Rick and Roll]

Woj,

Last year we had two of the three plays during my time slot. Since it worked out so well, and I'm not doing a 2006 retrospective, do you want to do the same thing this year?

It works out very well for me since January is busy with the basketball leagues.

Just let me know

Suggestion

Moon O' Poll

[Wojtek]

For me it works out also very well Rick and I'm very grateful for that, thanks.

Mailo - lol, nice

Woj, Of Course! But this seems a weak year for good New Stuff.
Yes , some Great Ones But Not as good as Last Year- Time to check the list!!!!!!!

The Academy of Motion Pictures has their Oscars. Broadway has it's Tony awards, and TV has whatever it is TV has.

I'm with Vennixx. Let's call whatever award we have the Purple Furry Marshmallow Award!

Roger -Dot- Lee, hypocaffeinemic's Unite!

[RogorMortis]

It's AM Poll-lution time.

But a Purple Furry Marshmallow Award soulds more like someting for nappy-wetters. It's sounds so silly that no one will take it serious enough.

As KW just annonced this is a Progreesive Rock Garden - how about AM Rock Gardener of the Year award ??????

[mossy]

Love that one, mortis. Would get my vote if put to a poll.

We should have a poll. Following proposes were made:

Moon O'Poll (Mailo)
Purple Furry Marshmallow Award (Vernixx)
AM Rock Gardener of the Year Award (RogorMortis)

We should make the poll quick, as Woj will have to announce the show and modalities soon!

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

Woj: drop me a PM and we'll get rolling on the infrastructure required for this year's festivities.

Roger -Dot- Lee, admin at large -- VERY large....

[sharcnorris]

the PFMA...hmmmmmmmm. the PROG ... the purple ruddy optical gong

PROGRESSIVE ROCKS OWN GARDEN Award... The PROG Award

[Wojtek]

You're right Lotus. Maybe we need another poll for poll's name .

But... there are two things that shouldn't be mixed up: poll/show name and award name. I'm not sure if Mailo's proposition refers to the same thing as Purple Furry Marshmallow. We can have Moon'o'poll (our annual thing) and we give Marshmallows away.

Anyway I'm up for whatever you choose as I like all ideas. However, I agree with Mortis that so silly names can be very confusing. Imagine you're band leader who receives email with: "..hi there..blah blah blah... you won Purple Furry Marshmallow Award". Having heard that I'd not know if this is for the best 2006 album or the worst? Especialy in case of purple colour. Golden Purple Marshmallows (Silver and Bronze) sounds better to me and I like the Gardener idea too.

[Wojtek]

Now some reflections and information connected with this year poll.

You know that during two previous polls we had two slightly different rules of voting, open and closed album list, show in early January and in late January.
This time I'd like to take best ideas from previous years.

First of all show again should be sooner than later. Early January, that is, as I have exam session in late January and last year, when I had show in the same time, I had take some exams more than once .

The idea of album list was good IMO but due to show in early January again we need to change things a bit. My proposition is to have "semi-closed" list. We make the list when we open the voting period and then you can every time propose adding the album we forgot about to the list.
With such list you would be able to vote till end of 2006 and we would have the show on first or second January Saturday.

Roger - I'll PM you when there are things to set up. Now I'd like to ask if it is possible to bring Awards forum back so that it stays until poll's over.

Great ideas all, Wojtek.

So you're looking at Jan 6 or 13....whichever one it is, I will set aside the Scale for the replays (1/7,8 or 1/14,15).

the 2006 Aural Moon 21st Century BOP poll

BOP = best of planet

just a thought...award would be a sphere with a projected internal visual of the moon going thru it's phases from full to new moon...just slightly larger than a baseball.

just my 2cents
