Hey I'm King of The World, You Oughta Hear My Song, Come On & Measure Me, THESE ARE AT LEAST 10 MINUTES LONG - RESULTS ILM BALLOT POLL #58

Scott and Mingus off mine have placed.

Only Zercon and Boredoms have placed from my list so far. Going to try to make time to listen to the rest of them tonight, apart from Frankie Teradrop which I already know and, er, strongly dislike.

Faust, Suicide and Lou Reed have placed from mine.

i passed over a $2 copy of french kiss on saturday because i was already over my record store budget :-(

I'm delighted to see Rutti make it. It's my first vote to place. Such a beautiful song.

Well, there's the JAMS and Faust, two more of mine choices..

That's four so far. I doubted there'd be five, well there's one I'm certain will be there, and maybe three more?

I was probably a bit previous, seeing as how there's 100.

OK, new guess: 15.

Voted for My Gen and (Circle) -- Krautrock was a late cut, possibly the last one I cut before sending.

I was thinking "Did I miss out Frankie?" but I had another look at my actual ballot, and I'm still fine with what I sent.

Damn Water No Get Enemy way too low.

lotta vote-splitting with the Fela songs, is my guess (I voted for a different one)

I voted for 4 or 5 Fela songs, it was too hard to choose just one.

I voted for a different Fela tune too, but I'm a-ok with anything by him placing (except for the horribly sexist "Lady").

I gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed that most of the tracks so far have barely passed the 10 minute mark. Where are all the real, 20+ minute epics? I'm glad "Hornets" made it though, it's pretty much my favourite jazz tune of all time... Such a nasty, relentless groove!

I just realized, my #1 is totally not making this list

Next 10 hints:
Germans, Frenchies, but mostly gringoes, plus the first appearance of Coltrane.

We'll also have our first track that's at least 20 minutes.

That Faust track sounds so much more au courant than almost any Stereolab track, too, I must make up lost time with it.

lil louis is one of those 'jams' ilx seems so fond of, eh

i'm going to get so down with the 'trane

speaking seriously for a moment, Faust are really worth spending a deal of quality time with for any music fan

the point of a sexy jam is to evoke sex without actual sex noises

lil louis is not very good at this

there's a zing there lying juicy and ripe if anyone, y'know, wants to

I opted to vote for the War song that I'm sure absolutely no one else voted for.

Here's a second hardcore promotion of Faust for the uninitiated. I still have never heard any of the post-'70s stuff, but I absolutely love everything up through that point.

Ravvivando is excellent fwiw

Note on track length for Santa Esmeralda: the 16:09 version includes the "Santa Esmeralda Suite" I believe, though both of the links are for a 10-minute version without the suite.

Voted for War and Can. Especially pleased to see The World is a Ghetto make it.

Ah, there is my fifth.

Hooray for The Girl With The Sun In Her Head. Ended up voting for all three songs nominated from that album.

Probably time for this amazing quote again..

I threw my vote behind In Sides as well - and it would have been even if the album was nothing but "The Girl With the Sun in Her Head" followed by 30 minutes of the band taunting me by name.
