Hey, 7 people liked Tres Hombres! Obviously not as much, but more people, darn it!

Makes me kinda sad there's no Genesis or Peter Gabriel on either '70s poll or the '80s poll.

I've gotta listen to some Minnie Riperton, I'm not familiar with her at all.

yeah Abbott's ballot has at least a dozen things I need to check out.

i shoulda swapped pawn hearts with my #5 war of the worlds which i knew wasn't gonna get any other votes since it's the corniest thing on earth

I want to know where 'Siren' ranked.

Guys Minnie Riperton has the most special place in my heart. She is this perfect combination of just strength and delicacy, sexiness and innocence, and with the most amazing set of pipes.

i never really got into genesis despite having a huge prog phase back when i was younger. i don't know why.

I didn't really deserve any more than 5 of my votes showing because I only voted for 24 albums. I've mentioned almost all of them already! And don't sweat it ciderpress, I'm sure, say, Magazine missed out by a stupidly small margin too, which I could have rectified.

1) Van der Graaf Generator - Still Life 2) Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts 3) Van der Graaf Generator - Godbluff 4) Soft Machine - Third 5) Vivian Stanshall - Sir Henry At Rawlinson End 6) Captain Beyond - Captain Beyond 7) Faust - Faust IV 8) XTC - Drums And Wires 9) Yes - Relayer 10) Magazine - Secondhand Daylight 11) Magazine - Real Life 12) King Crimson - Red 13) Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Damn The Torpedoes 14) Van der Graaf - The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome 15) Yes - Close To The Edge 16) Yes - Going For The One 17) Ultravox! - Ultravox! 18) Genesis - Selling England By The Pound 19) Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom 20) Joe Jackson - I'm The Man 21) Yes - The Yes Album 22) Ultravox! - Systems Of Romance 23) Ultravox! - Ha! Ha! Ha! 24) Van der Graaf Generator - H to He Who Am The Only One

Makes me kinda sad there's no Genesis or Peter Gabriel on either '70s poll or the '80s poll.

Herny Cow are so great! I love that Stapleton listed them as "Henty Cow" on the NWW list, that SOB.

Re: Abbott's ballot, REALLY want to get into Henry Cow btw

Art Bears are better.

lj i missed a few things out by accident, didnt notice Godbluff on the noms Or it woulda been on it.
I couldnt vote for 40 best albums as it was impossible so i just tried to get albums in i thought might stand a chance but wont get as many votes as other more well known would. But the sheer amount of voters made it impossible for my votes to have an influence sadly.

f they wrote books they'd be multiple Booker Prize winners

if you think the Booker Prize is middlebrow your brow is too high is all I can say.

lol

Did I say I wanted higher than middlebrow?

70 8 Van Der Graaf Generator Pawn Hearts
70 1 6 La Dusseldorf La Dusseldorf

LOOOOOOOOOOOL inyufface emil.y

Grrr.

emil.y will stop talking to me as I forgot to vote La Dusseldorf too. No wonder she doesnt reply on lastfm or emails! shes psychic!

emil.y what is yr last.fm username? I think we are part soulmates.

Black devil Disco Club are the one thing mentioned I've never even heard of. Tell me?

I haven't been very prophetic in this thread, but I DID post this

the LA DUSSELDORF vs VDGG fite in the 101-120 regions will be entertaining imo. bring it on, emil.y

Abbott, it's missekawasaki, but I only scrobble when I borrow the mister's computer now, as mine has been mute for the last year. And I don't borrow his computer very often.

a bit off topic but is there a voting thread for the 2009 poll yet? i feel like i'm missing it somehow

I voted for the Dorf (THE DORF) twice...I wish I would have put the S/T up higher so it would've placed.

Not yet. I suspect musically has been waiting for this one to end.

I've actually got a helluva lot to be tracking down now. Art Bears? Wuh? emil.y and Abbott both have loaaads of krauty/arty goodness on their lists and I'll be chasing it up, no worries!

Art Bears are part Cow.

Who else voted for Conference Of The Birds? I'm curious.

Also, such a shame to see The Poppy Family (featuring Susan Jacks) - Which Way You Goin' Billy? so low on the full results page. It was popping in and out of my top 40, and eventually missed the bill, but there are a couple of killer tracks on this.

― sonofstan, Saturday, January 9, 2010 9:06 PM (5 minutes ago) Bookmark

It's a rare french disco record that came out in 1978. Aphex Twin's label put out some of the songs in 2004 which made people think the background story was a hoax, this is partly because no-one had really heard of it in the first place and partly because it sounds ahead of it's time. It's an incredible album, I only downloaded it last year (an original copy goes for around 300 pounds) and I've been obsessed with it ever since. It sounds like if Giorgio Moroder had made a really dark goth record.

Yeah, the Black Devil record is completely awes. He's since come back and released some new stuff that sounds like he didn't miss a step at all in 30 years.

I always get if mixed up w/"Black Mass" by Lucifer (Mort Garson). They're both good.
