Well the entire point to this thread is to:
a) expose members to music that other members find enticing here and
b) honor those artists recognized here as having made a fantastic contribution to musical history.
Making this a system where votes are tallied from a poll does little to satisfy either of these. Plus it inhibits our ability to actually hold discussion without having to battle the morons that come in, say "never heard of them" and not come back until the next nomination is up.
I rarely vote for these nominations anymore because I feel like I don't derive as much pleasure from exercising my index finger twice as actually saying something. (Plus I tend to be a little more ambivalent towards artists here than most. But that's just me.)
Is any of this ringing true for anyone else?
