ILX 70s album poll - results

fuck all other decades but the 70s imo

there better be prog in the top 100 this time

thanks Johnny! This could be great!

There'll be a lot of crossover, but surely we can surpass this nominations list right?

the 70s poll - rules, and nominations (¡FINAL VOTING ABOUT TO CLOSE - LAST CHANCE TO "MAKE THAT DIFFERENCE"!)

well copy and paste that list onto the nominations thread then we can all add to it and make it comprehensive.

Steely Dan will be in the top 5 positions knowing ILM ;)

I just had an idea about the re-poll. What if we remove the 100 albums in this list from contention in order to produce a much more interesting poll? Like, anything that placed here is completely off limits for nomination/voting this time. Canon be damned!

Thoughts?

I'm in favour. Then I can vote for "The Belle Album"!

I like that idea.

cant believe 'tusk' didnt even place on that poll

ILM hadn't discovered it then

nor Aja!

i would be *completely* down for excluding everything here, but i'm not sure it should happen, if that makes sense

i mean it would distort things too much and i wouldn't be able to vote for 154 which is godhead

Or "Pacific Ocean Blue". ILM had different favourites in those days.

no, dont remove anything please. You will get much less voters too if you do, people wont be bothered to vote. The results will be different enough.

What's missing? From my library: I am Sitting in a Room, Sex Machine, Look-ka Py Py, Food for Thought, The Revolution Will Not be Televised, Delusion of the Fury, Right Time, Cochin Moon, Disco Club, Music for Airports, The Flying Lizards. Would a single one of these garner enough points to make the list? Maybe the Eno.

You will get much less voters too if you do, people wont be bothered to vote.

You could be right about this. But on the other hand, less people vote in polls now because the thinking is "Oh, [x albums] will make up most of the list, and that's boring...zzzz." I can see both sides of this, but not sure what would better suit a re-poll.

My brain couldn't handle coming up with a best albums of the 80s list, so it certainly won't be able to handle this

fuck all other decades but the 70s imo

Fixed.

no point in running a poll if you exclude stuff.

cant believe 'tusk' didnt even place on that poll

Indeed. A re-poll is needed.

Start from scratch a la the '80s poll imo.

Okay, everything will be eligible then. I'm just not looking forward to seeing the same ol'. Do not disappoint me, nominators and voters!

As i said, start the thread off with every album nominated last time so we can all add to it and make it really comprehensive.

naw, Johnny Fever, your OG idea is great, ignore this dude

I'm ready for this!

Any position on the canon/no-canon debate?

ILX 70s album poll - results

FIRMLY FOR NO-CANON

dunno how many votes we get but i think all of mine will go to the cars debut JUST TO MAKE MOTHERFUCKING SURE

I'm going to use the same system Tuomas did, except nominations will have no limit.

steve reich - drumming
philip glass - music in 12 parts

oops!

So, what do we need to do?
