An 80s metal poll would be fun. I only had two in my list, but I get in a mood and listen only to metal for a couple months a year. Piece of Mind, From Enslavement To Obliteration, Terrible Certainty, Don't Break The Oath, All For One, Seven Churches, Blood & Thunder, Black Metal, Law Of Devil's Land! \m/― Fastnbulbous, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 21:24
I'm not sure an 80s metal poll would be a great idea, glam shite like poison and its shitty ilk might dominate as old fart ilxors get nostalgic!
Plus I don't see Tuomas running a metal poll!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 21:30 (fourteen years ago) link
I happen to love "glam shite" as much as all the other stuff. Don't be such a curmedgeon!
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 21:31 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, per Tuomas' request, I didn't include the ones I voted for that didn't yet show up. I also would include Evol and Atomizer. xxxp

albums here I have never heard, to my knowledge (or can't remember):
Tunnel Of LoveIndestructible Beat Of SowetoCupid & Psyche 85Steve McQueen16 Lovers LaneStone RosesIsn't Anything
Doubt I would like them. Maybe the Go-Betweens.

xpI am not sure an 80s metal poll would get many voters either. This poll has 2 hard rock records and zero metal, the winner in an 80s metal poll could end up having 5 votes or so
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 21:48 (fourteen years ago) link
I would vote in said poll Herman, get to it!

scott should run it, people who wont vote in the above poll will vote in one just because Scott is running it.

double nickels' high placement does much to mollify. maybe i just wanna see more of my dorm room boombox favorites on the list.
and i'm surprised by all the mock surprise at surfer rosa. it stacks up just fine against the likes of prince and public enemy, but only if you accept that it's an entirely different kind of music. same goes for, like, talk talk and the friggin housemartins. plus "watered down big black" is just moronic. pixies sound almost nothing like big black, except for the fact that they both involve hollering nerds and tinny guitars.

now that i think about it, i remember liking the membranes a lot. songs of love and fury, kiss ass godhead. wonder why i didn't nominate them? or the three johns...
the 80s were, now that i think about it, quite a long time ago.
― a dimension that can only be accessed through self-immolation (contenderizer), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 22:10 (fourteen years ago) link
now that i think about it
I bought a Three Johns album on the cheap once because people I trusted said it would be good. I did not like it one bit.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 22:12 (fourteen years ago) link
I count 15 albums so far that I hadn't heard prior to the start of this poll - I've since listened to three of them (Tabula Rasa, Violent Femmes, Fear & Whiskey) and loved them all. I might try and give the other 12 a go although I'm already sure I'd hate Hysteria...
― Gavin in Leeds, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 22:15 (fourteen years ago) link
the Three Johns did their best work on EPs and singles, none of the LPs really nail it to my ears. Seek out the Demonocracy singles compilation for true enjoyment.
― sleeve, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 22:19 (fourteen years ago) link
which three johns album was it though? i don't know all their stuff, but the singles comp "rock & roll in the demonocracy" is fantastic. or at least half great. get pink-headed bug, awol & english white boy engineer stuck in my head all the time, and i haven't heard it in years. should track down a copy i guess...

how is spirit of eden only at 14
also rio isn't going to be here. what the actual fuck.

I had to go look at album covers to remember which one it was: The World By Storm from 1986. I honestly don't remember much about it at all except not liking it.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 22:31 (fourteen years ago) link
if i had ordered my ballot i'd have put spirit of eden first and miss america second. i'd like to know if margaret o'hara made the top 200.
― alex in mainhattan, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 22:32 (fourteen years ago) link
Listening to I Against I again, I can understand why it doesn't make it. Such an odd, new wave Police sheen for an SST record from 1986. I've been obsessed with all four Bad Brains albums from the 80s, but they all have their weaknesses. Probably one of the best bands to fail to properly document their greatness on tape. No, the live albums don't do them justice either.

you mad. that album is brilliant. easily my favourite of theirs. the drum machine + guitars + chorus + samples = simple but effective pop songs.and live, T3J used to make me laugh out loud .. but this was back in their drinking daze.
― mark e, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 22:35 (fourteen years ago) link
am now wishing SOE had been top rather than second, sort of, not that that'd have changed anything
― a. cole, u thic (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 22:35 (fourteen years ago) link
The only suspense left is whether Computer World or Straight out of Compton were ignored.
So little Birthday Party/Nick Cave love. No token appearance by Children of God. Synth pop (Eurythmics, Yaz, DM) polled remarkably poorly given this decades resurgence. 12 of my picks will make it in. I'd still take my 30 over the entire list.

3 got high points from me but otoh I am the one who nominated it.
― mascara and ties (Abbott), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 22:53 (fourteen years ago) link
Interesting to see folks repping for PG III and So. I like both of those, but my favorite PG album by a wide margin is IV/Security (headless chickens and all...)

but was will be the 10th?
― djmartian, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 22:57 (fourteen years ago) link
'Family & the Fishing Net' + 'Shock the Monkey' are rly the only ones I cld 100% dig on that album. I love Peter Gabriel but there are some mediocre tracks on 1, 2 & 4.
― mascara and ties (Abbott), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 22:59 (fourteen years ago) link
but what will be the 10th?
a wild card: Throwing Muses debut
― djmartian, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 22:59 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm guessing number one will be: angelic upstarts - 2,000,000 voices

should probably do an 80's metal AND punk poll. unless there already was a punk poll.

No Scott, see my forecast upthread. It will be Zoogz Rift- Island Of Living Puke.

with the caveat that i am getting into prince and will probably love him unreservedly within a year from now
i could easily name 500 80's albums that are better than that my bloody valentine album on here.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 23:07 (fourteen years ago) link
just so you know.
I'd consider myself as Muses fan, and even I don't like that album more than several others.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 23:07 (fourteen years ago) link
i do!
Fat Skier, Hunkpapa, Real Ramona, House Tornado >>>>> debut.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 23:09 (fourteen years ago) link
Oooh no I prefer the debut over all else of theirs.
― hulk would smash (Trayce), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 23:11 (fourteen years ago) link
"Billy Jean" was 3rd and "Beat It" 52nd on the 80s singles poll. "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" wasn't nominated. Thriller doesn't commit enough sins to be omitted, although I suggest 30 lashes for "The Girl is Mine."
― Biodegradable (Derelict), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 23:11 (fourteen years ago) link
throwing muses debut is better than 59 albums on this list so far.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 23:12 (fourteen years ago) link
No idea what the missing 10th will be. Back In Black maybe? I doubt it'll be any of my choices, unless everyone thinks Tango In The Night is too obvious to mention.
