Oh and yes it says on the voting form minimum of 10, but that is a mistake that seandalai will fix. It is FIFTEEN. But please try do as many as you can.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 30 August 2012 11:18 (eleven years ago) link

great list. this is going to take some time, but results will be fun. I hope a lot of people vote.

nicky lo-fi, Thursday, 30 August 2012 11:19 (eleven years ago) link

Weighted: 1st choice (top of the ballot) gets 110 points, 2nd choice gets 98 points, 3rd gets 96 points, and so on down to 2 points for 50th place.

Unweighted: Every choice gets 102 points

That seems massively wrong to me.

Mark G, Thursday, 30 August 2012 11:22 (eleven years ago) link

10 15 fixed now

direct references of (seandalai), Thursday, 30 August 2012 11:22 (eleven years ago) link

Oops

direct references of (seandalai), Thursday, 30 August 2012 11:23 (eleven years ago) link

Sorry about that, 2am rush job confusing my brain. Unweighted ballots give 51 points to each item. Can we get a mod to edit the OP?

direct references of (seandalai), Thursday, 30 August 2012 11:25 (eleven years ago) link

ok i spot a few mistakes in there so will ask seandalai to fix the voting form

There is a volunteer for it , its not done yet..

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 30 August 2012 12:21 (eleven years ago) link

I might help with Spotify if I were able to access it at all.:P

There's ways around it y'know

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 30 August 2012 13:57 (eleven years ago) link

Right I'm working on my list now.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:09 (eleven years ago) link

Right my longlist has been whittled down to 80.

Now the pain in cutting it to 50

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:21 (eleven years ago) link

ok ive done it. top 10 then the rest split weighted

now for tracks

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:44 (eleven years ago) link

Mine Done.

Had to add a fairly random extra album to make the 15, but hey,.

Mark G, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:49 (eleven years ago) link

haha I was loathe to cut anything and you could barely make 15??!!!

Thanks! I believe you are the first voter. I don't have access to the form to confirm though.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:56 (eleven years ago) link

It's a mixture of stuff, to be sure: Often I'd say "Oh! there's xxxxxx.. ah, but I like (notonthelist) better)"

And I kept it to stuff I owned or knew...

Mark G, Thursday, 30 August 2012 15:05 (eleven years ago) link

you should have nominated then!

I just voted for tracks n albums. *phew*

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 30 August 2012 15:19 (eleven years ago) link

I was "all over the place" as in travelling a lot. Also, why I didn't vote in the recent Cure poll.

You should've got A&A to do it!

They were also travelling. they might have nommed some Foo Fighters and the Vaccines, I recks.

Mark G, Thursday, 30 August 2012 15:28 (eleven years ago) link

nah its an 80s poll, we would have been safe.

btw is there any consensus on best swans albums?

aspiring barkitect (silverfish), Thursday, 30 August 2012 20:21 (eleven years ago) link

well,yes. but after that?

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 30 August 2012 20:28 (eleven years ago) link

Of the ones above, Cop. Although it's my favourite.

passive-aggressive display name (aldo), Thursday, 30 August 2012 20:39 (eleven years ago) link

not much consensus after that I think, some people prefer the more abrasive early stuff and some people prefer the later stuff

I've only heard about half their albums anyway, so somebody else should probably answer this. I really like the live album Swans are Dead.

xp

aspiring barkitect (silverfish), Thursday, 30 August 2012 20:42 (eleven years ago) link

a good few bands have lots of albums nominated so it will be interesting to see if the general consensus albums do best in the poll or if an 'ilm favourite' will beat it.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 30 August 2012 21:18 (eleven years ago) link

Out of interest how do others whittle down their shortlists?

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 30 August 2012 21:33 (eleven years ago) link

i start by picking out and setting aside the albums i love best of all, those that i know will be somewhere in my top 10-20. that sets a good bar of comparison for other stuff.

then i run through the rest of the list a few times and pick off outliers: albums with weak spots, those that i "respect" more than love or loved once but no longer get as much out of. the final trimming is always the worst part, and i'm often driven to more-or-less arbitrary cuts.

i know your nuts hurt! who's laughing? (contenderizer), Thursday, 30 August 2012 22:44 (eleven years ago) link

Sometimes you just need to go "aww fuck it" and just hit submit otherwise you would still be procrastinating 3 weeks later.

no its a mistake. Seandalai can you fix that please?

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 30 August 2012 23:22 (eleven years ago) link

Time to campaign for albums. An album I hope lots of you check out is this one:
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus http://open.spotify.com/album/3BHQVxQ9W2uqQM4zMf9CGo

One of the first doom metal albums and arguably still the best.

Sadly Trouble - Psalm 9 is not on spotify
so for some US doom metal try:
Saint Vitus - Born Too Late http://open.spotify.com/album/6CyKigkGRtW3xTDZczqlRC

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 30 August 2012 23:39 (eleven years ago) link

not much consensus after that I think, some people prefer the more abrasive early stuff and some people prefer the later stuff

I've only heard about half their albums anyway, so somebody else should probably answer this. I really like the live album Swans are Dead.

100% data-free analysis: no real consensus after COG, but Filth and Cop are considered their best noise records, which is to say simultaneously fetishized and dismissed (critics respect them, but never seem to like them much). the first EP, when it's considered at all, is either written off as embryonic or lumped in with Filth (sorta like Young God/Cop). Holy Money and Greed are IMO underrated, but are often considered too slick and/or unintentionally humorous. also, the music from this period is generally thought to be better represented live, and Public Castration is the document of choice in this regard. so, for the 80s, "consensus" of top Swans picks - based solely on my subjective guesswork - looks like: COG >Public Castration>Filth/Cop as 1-2-3/4 (Filth on occasion lauded for "rocking", and Cop for brutality).

Hellhouse, Thursday, 30 August 2012 23:42 (eleven years ago) link

"consensus", you know, in my house.

Hellhouse, Thursday, 30 August 2012 23:48 (eleven years ago) link

except that I genuinely love Filth/Cop for hitting that tiny intersection of metal, industrial and blues.

Hellhouse, Thursday, 30 August 2012 23:55 (eleven years ago) link

y playlist for the albums? We already have one for tracks.

where where?!?

People who read pitchfork like Oneida?

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 21 September 2012 16:28 (eleven years ago) link

All the Oneida fans I know are old fans - stoner rockers.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 21 September 2012 16:28 (eleven years ago) link

There's certainly no pitchforkian bands with the lineage of Big Black.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 21 September 2012 16:32 (eleven years ago) link

this being ilx, i suspect its highly possible (if not likely) that Sister will place over DDN.

Broney, Pt. 1 (Pillbox), Friday, 21 September 2012 16:33 (eleven years ago) link

I dunno DDN usually tops these things even SY albums polls.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 21 September 2012 16:39 (eleven years ago) link

Maybe SST will dominate then if it does

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 21 September 2012 16:39 (eleven years ago) link

Actually ILM *IS* SST Central, isn't it?

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 21 September 2012 16:41 (eleven years ago) link

Daydream Nation kinda bores me! I get why people like it but it's def not my favorite SY.

gesange der yuengling (crüt), Friday, 21 September 2012 16:47 (eleven years ago) link

Actually ILM *IS* SST Central, isn't it?

? I never got this impression.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Friday, 21 September 2012 17:04 (eleven years ago) link

There is definitely a big SST contingent. Admittedly not as large as Sonic Youth or New Order ones but it's there.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 21 September 2012 17:18 (eleven years ago) link

yeah I'm assuming daydream nation, double nickels, and damaged will be top 10

vincent black shadow giallo (Edward III), Friday, 21 September 2012 17:21 (eleven years ago) link

Maybe all the Sonic Youth tracks and albums will take all the top positions, lol.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 21 September 2012 17:28 (eleven years ago) link

That thought scared everybody away

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 21 September 2012 18:54 (eleven years ago) link

heard from the viceroy and he's had to pull out of running poll as he's in the process of moving n stuff so cant help.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I guess I shall have to run it on my own. So if I'm cranky with people I apologise in advance.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 21 September 2012 19:07 (eleven years ago) link

unless you didn't vote then you can foad :)

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 21 September 2012 19:12 (eleven years ago) link

if it makes you feel any better, here's a rip of the first swans EP from vinyl, sounds better than the muddy remasters that were done in 1990 imo

way more than expected so thanks ever so much to each and everyone of you who voted and I hope you all discover great music from the poll. Hopefully tracks rollout can start sometime tomorrow!

Def Leppard's an interesting case. Now, I'd probably put on On Through the Night before Hysteria but Hysteria has so much more sentimental value and I know it so well that I couldn't not vote for it.

I def meant the two SY albums when I said SST was going to fill out the top 5, but it was an unfair jibe since one of the SST Sonic Youth records made my top 3...

I def predict Swans are going to do very well, which is what happens when you release the unofficially unanimous album of the present year. I'm thinking Children of God will be top 10

^loves belaboured seething (Drugs A. Money), Saturday, 22 September 2012 05:14 (eleven years ago) link

I have no idea how the top 10 is gonna shape up.
