Those two doubles are truly twin titans, but I'm gonna give it to II, just because it's the one I most feel like hearing right now. But yeah, everything up there is pretty good-to-great.

I like that label-of-the-year idea - I've always had an affinity for Sire in 1977, Warner/Reprise in '69, and Elektra in '67.

i dont think anyones gonna do the best label of 84 sadly

There's some year of Bizarre/Straight that includes both Starsailor and Lick My Decals Off, Baby iirc-- that's a contendah!

Rough Trade was crazy in 1980 - Pere Ubu, Swell Maps, Young Marble Giants, Raincoats, Pop Group, Cabaret Voltaire, The Fall, James Blood Ulmer, TV Personalities, Essential Logic, Robert Wyatt, Slits, Delta 5, Scritti Politti, the Prefects...

last chance to vote..

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

wow

All the more impressive that husker du got the vote split and still won.

I had hoped that ZA and DNOTD might tie actually. Cuz both are great albums.

wtf!

Nice surprise! But tinged with sadness that I was the only one who voted for Saccharine Trust.

However you were right pfunkboy - every album got at least one vote!

didn't realize there were so many damn Husker fans lurking about.

Let me reiterate: wow. Between this and the other SST poll, it would seem that Husker Du has a lot more goodwill out there than I thought. Hooray for that.

Husker Du are liked round here, but they're outnumbered by Minutemen fans and DNOTD fans are a lot more vocal. But tbh i think a lot love both, but HD fans cant agree on what is their best album while Minutemen fans generally do. Hence DNOTD usually doing well in the polls.

Remember to vote in Favourite Hüsker Dü Album?

Favourite SST Release of... 1985

as i said in the last poll, i pretty much expect Husker to dominate any poll they're in after this: your favorite run of SST releases by one band

022 Saint Vitus Saint Vitus 13

Wow, I'm kind of surprised! Sup fellow dirtheads.

Hurrah for vitus

Husker Du are liked round here, but they're outnumbered by Minutemen fans and DNOTD fans are a lot more vocal.

this poll would suggest otherwise, kerr

not really, im pretty sure there was more shout outs on this thread for Minutemen, but I get your point via the results.

stevie you spelled d15turb@nc3 wrong...

i... aw shit.

Proud to be a St Vitus 13%-er for life! We should all get tattoos.

or meet up at a gig since they reformed.

I remember my friend's big brother telling me that if I liked St Vitus so much I should check out Sabbath, who I was only vaguely aware of at 14. I thought he was a stupid hippy.

When did you become a stupid hippy?

about 10 minutes after the events recounted above, when he put on Snowblind

Supernaut did it for me.

Butthole Surfers did it for me when I realized 'Sweat Loaf' was a Sabbath riff.

Walking Seeds did it for me with their version of 'Iron Man' on Skullfuck.

the entire 80's dirtbag underground scene was a conspiracy to get kids into sabbath

These are good poll results. One of the very few times Ive picked the winning horse.
