Now this is how it started: THE ILX 1980s ALBUM POLL RESULTS!!

if Rio doesn't place in a top 100 of the 80's then there's actually no hope for ILM

ok so what youre saying is that master of puppets and reign in blood arent even going to place?

MADNESS WTF

I liked all the New Order albums up until Technique, which I found painful. It's overly busy and brittle, like they realized their peak has passed and they're trying to hard to keep up with trends. I bought a used copy several years ago to give it another chance. It still sounds like a dud.

Wait, speaking of squeezing... there's no SQUEEZE in this poll!

unless i missed them somewhere down the line? xxpost

Can't believe 'Computer World' won't make it, and to a lesser extent 'Bug'.

Haha, what? Think I got the formatting a tad wrong in my last post.

I'm trying of think of an '80s album better than Technique... I just can't.

Mine was the other #1 for Technique. Ned's blurb is brilliant, and makes we wonder what he voted #1 (assuming he voted)?

The Dreaming was my #1 vote...glad to see it earn so high a place.

if ned voted in ilx polls we might have seen chameleons in the top 100

...but he doesn't

Can't believe 'Computer World' won't make it, and to a lesser extent 'Bug'.

I really think Computer World might sneak in, I really hope so.

I'm really glad Technique made it in so high although I thought Low-life would be there too, I voted for both.

Pretenders #1

― NAKES HAVE THE STAPLES IN THEM (jjjusten),

No way will they go top 10 so its beginning to look like they wont place at all, which is unbelievable really. But they might be up in the next few places so i wouldn't give up just yet. But no way will Iron Maiden make it now. Looks like AC/DC might miss out too. But if they all miss out, Pyromania getting in the list just makes it even more bizarre.

btw no surprise at all, that on ilm, new order beats joy division.

I wouldn't count Master Of Puppets out yet. I feel like there are gonna be some surprises coming up.

Maybe 13 Songs will sneak in. It's top 10 in my book.

I voted 13 songs but i cant see it making it. I really thought black flag and the butthole surfers would make the top 50

Peter Gabriel's III in the Top 10.

There was only one Black Flag offered. Had My War been on the list it would have got points from me.

Also uh MOVING PICTURES where is it? I thought everybody loved that record!

Yeah - no Fugazi, Bad Brains, Buttholes, Fishbone, etc. My eighties was very different. Plus my real number one wasn't nominated (again, only myself to blame) - The Time's What Time Is It?,the best Prince-related album of all time (yes, better than his own albums).

Was Moving Pictures big in the UK?

this has probably already been decided but would be cool to do a 00's album poll starting in january?

can spirit of eden win this poll?

If this had been for live bands, Fishbone would be in my Top 30, easy.

doubt it, but would be lovely if it did (was my second choice behind no-hoper cardiacs album) xp

I love that Time album. I would have probably voted for it and not just because it's my favourite album cover of all time.

xpost I predict Spirit will be top 5 and possibly no. 1

Thank you Kitchen Person! Confirmation of the wonder of The Time is appreciated.

Chagrined to say I've only ever owned Ice Cream Castles.

I'd considered starting one, but re-thought it and realized we should at least wait 6 or 9 months for perspective to set in.

i assume musically will do a 09 poll in jan. dunno what ilm is thinking towards a 00s poll but i think musically also did the 2000-04 poll.

also yeah, gotta have time for this decades london calling to do the rounds.

We should do the 2009 poll in January, then the '00s decade poll after a few months for perspective's sake (for what that's even worth on ILM).

musically hosts the best polls (no offense Tuomas!)

After this Johnny Fever is (re)doing a 70s poll, I'm running (with Glenn) NOMINATIONS THREAD for ILX METAL ALBUMS Of 2009 (Closes December 20) then musically will be doing the 2009 poll. So I think everyone might be a bit polled out for a while.

i think musically also did the 2000-04 poll

nah that was me, and every day i curse the damage done

oh sorry dude.

pfunkboy: remember chap's 90s telly poll, my 00s telly poll or the 40s film poll

and Geir is back on ilx too!!

If there's a 60s poll then Geir needs to run it.

A 2000s poll would be great, but the electrodribble dudes will probably ruin it like the 2008 poll.

We already did a 1960s single and album poll, I think?

I was just looking at the 90s single poll results, and they were awesome! "Regulate", "Mind Playing Tricks on Me", and "Groove is in the Heart" all in the top 10! Why did the 90s single poll have so much more dance and rap and r&b than the 80s single poll?

because ilx hated black people less back then, obviously

20. The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy [1985] (243 points, 23 votes, 1 first place vote)

That'll be my 1st place. For me it's a top 5 all-time album and it totally changed my life. First time I heard it I was "fuck yes this is for me!" and it's been bad haircuts and not learning to play guitar properly ever since. It's easily my most played album of all time, there are others I sometimes think of as better albums (Suicide, Pornography on a bad day, Atomiser when I'm feeling loud) but I'm never not in the mood for Psychocandy.

I'm going to listen to it right now and have a wee moan to myself about how it's so sad that not everyone in the world agrees with me.

You Never Understand me :(

did we do a 60s poll? i don't remember it. link?

ILX 60'S POLL PART ONE - THE SONGS

Better late than never. ILX 60'S POLL PART TWO - THE ALBUMS

God, that poll is enough to make you wish the 60s never existed. The Beatles, the VU, Dylan, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I know right!!! who wants to live in a world where bands like the VU and the Beatles made albums that lots of people enjoy listening to

ha, well, I mean, I like a lot of those albums, but the world needs more lists with them on them like it needs more carbon dioxide

are you sure you don't want to stick with "enough to make you wish the 60s never existed"?
