Just in case anyone is wondering I don't have the stats for record labels for the whole poll. I had to do the 50 manually by just running down the top 50 where I actually had posted the record label name.

If you ask musically she might share her secrets with you. Though she will be busy for 2 weeks doing the big ilx poll results.Also you should ask on the autogoon thread to see if anyone will help.
Posting images is easy. Just click the link to show formatting help below where you type out a post.
Good luck!

What I did was I started a nominations thread. Keep it open for a week. Then compile all the nominations then do a thread with the list on it, with details on how to vote and supply an email address for ballots to be sent to (I set up a specific gmail for it)Once voting ends you count it all up.
Then I got stuck on how to tabulate and thankfully got help with that!But if you know how to work excel, you should be ok!
Get album covers from Amazon or somewhere (don't use rateyourmusic, they don't show up)And use the tag to post

Torche should appeal to all pop fans. The band themselves label it "stoner pop" or "sludge pop".

The Colour Haze gatefold was a sleeve like a hard backed book, inside it was like a photo book. Really really nice. I don't have a cam or I would take photos. Same with the Earth vinyl.

EARTH - "THE BEES MADE HONEY IN THE LION'S SKULL"sunn90 CD&2XLPEarth's latest incarnation will be available FEBRUARY 2008. After refaceting some old gems for greater illumination on "Hibernaculum". The band returns once again to it's continuing evolution. Where "Hex" reveled in dark satanic twang and austere american beauty, "The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull" finds Dylan Carlson and the band growing into a harder, more rock, american Gospel and impovisitory direction framed by truly psychedelic production and blazing guitar sounds.Earth shows it's affinity with a nod to the best elements of the more adventurous San Francisco bands of the late 60's and 70's, and the more spiritually aware and exciting forms of Jazz-Rock from the same era. This is no nostalgia trip but a thoroughly inspired and original metamorphosis. Earth is also very honored to be joined on this record for three songs by legendary and virtuoso guitarist BILL FRISELL (doing some of his most fuzzed out playing in years!) .Bill Frisell adds a brilliant texture and counterpoint to the scintillating and inspired riffs of Dylan Carlson and the band. Adrienne Davies joins again on drums lending a classic and steady feel to the proceedings. Steve Moore also returns adding heavy hammond organ and his intense jazz inspired piano playing. Live Bassist Don McGreevy also makes his full length Earth debut on this record.Earth will begin touring throughout the world when the album is released, Australia, Europe and a full US campaign and on from there. The new songs are equally compelling live where EARTH takes the vehicles and expand and explore them for further musical and meditative exploration.

Earth will begin touring throughout the world when the album is released, Australia, Europe and a full US campaign and on from there. The new songs are equally compelling live where EARTH takes the vehicles and expand and explore them for further musical and meditative exploration. Enjoy "The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull".

I had no idea Frisell played on an Earth album TBH. Will get for certain.
Everything I have downloaded so far is really good. Why did I never hear Caina before? And Torche indeed seems as good as "Foo Fighters in Southern Lord jeans" made them sound. (Actually, they remind me of Sunny Day Real Estate at times.)
(Had Opeth and Meshuggah before, liked both but thought both bands had done better, as my question upthread might have suggested.)

But, in the case of Meshuggah, it might be that I just really like "I".

Ha. I was going to check out a couple things on the list. So even if that one isn't metal, another I look up might be.

From that Thor wiki entry
Zombie Nightmare Actor, composer (1986)
This is, by a country mile, the worst film I have ever seen.
