ok it's safe enough now.

Did "live" deserve to win best album of the year in Chart's poll?? I really really doubt it. There was tons of other more worthy albums to choose from, but many of us OLP fans blindy hit the OLP button, despite that the question wasn't "who's the better band" it was best album, and LIVE wasn't even an album!!!! No dice friends, no dice

that's exactly why i didn't want to bring it up, it seemed like not many people knew. So i didnt' want to send then running to OLP's aid. At one point they were getting their asses handed to them by IME. Not that i expected people to vote for IME, but they sure as hell could've picked a better album then LIVE. there was a list of about 30 albums, basically every rock album, and pop album that came out this year.

Merlins Beard! The talent pool was that big? And OLP Live won? I thought that the poll only had like 5 albums on it.

There are plenty of other good albums out there other than Live.

People don't actually vote on what's in the poll, people just vote for the band(s) they like.

I mean "Best Haircut" is obviously just going to be people voting for their favourite artists.

That poll is by no means a source for how people feel about albums/songs.

I just don't understand why you didn't say
"If you are going to vote for Live on chart attacks poll, maybe you should concider other talent first as Live isnt really a new album. If you want to vote that way, thats fine but I don't want to follow the band blindly."
This whole thing seems stupid now. If you didn't think they diserved to win, thats great. By saying so during the poll though probably wouldn't have swayed anyone's opinions anyway, and would have made you seem much more credible.


Johnathan, do you go to ourladypeace.cc often? thats the only news they have really posted in the last couple of weeks! :lol:

obviously, which is the problem i'm getting at. If they ask for best album, vote for the best album, if an album is shit, but you like the band that doesn't mean the album deserves to win. Besides OLP definatly didn't need anymore publicity in canada

i'm pretty damn sure even Raine wouldn't have voted for live

.....


wow.


if anything this thread brought attention to the poll since thats what people thought it was about. I honestly don't think they would have gotten many more votes, if any, for making a thread about this poll. If they were obsessive followers they would have known about it from olp.cc and if not they would have voted for the most diserving, if they voted at all.

As a shameless olp follower I can honestly say I did not go onto chartattack and vote for olp in every possible catigory and all that shit because its not worth it. I voted but I voted for who I though diserved to win.

Maybe I'm crazy but I really don't know how you can say they don't diserve any more publicity. Thats pretty awful. Even people like Avril diserve publicity because they work their asses off for that. Maybe you listen to rock radio stations that abuse that CanCon shit or something but I haven't heard anything about olp in a long time other then on here. I'm probably bias but I don't see a whole lot of over-exposure with the band.

I'm sorry if I sound bitchy, but this whole thing scratches me the wrong way.

LMFAO! THAT was the big secret?!

I mean really? Who didn't think Charts poll was a big ass popularity contest? That's what awards are in general. I can't think of one that isn't.

Why do you think most bands don't actually put any stock into awards?

Besides who cares anyway. Like it or don't. What effect does it have on my life if a million people love or hate an album along with me.
