1980'S ROCK POLL ALBUMS/TRACKS VOTING THREAD. (Voting closes September 20) (all welcome to vote inc Lurkers)

There is a reason I sit here and talk about Candlemass,Trouble, Saint Vitus, Husker Du, Sonic Youth

yeah, but there's every reason to think those acts might place. they still seem interesting to a lot of ILXors. for whatever reason, the oddball/marginal garage rock stuff i like best is a much tougher sell.

nevertheless, you've convinced me. i'm gonna vote for all kinds of goof marginalia and see what happens.

i, i say, i say, uh, "goofball"

Well make sure you ,and everyone else, campaigns for that stuff. I want to get introduced to new music/introduce others to new music. Best way to do that is to talk about it.

Listened to Form Destroyer twice today. It's fantastic!

v. cool. you've just doubled the amount of votes it'll receive!

Not '80s, but definitely check out Xaman, too; it absolutely kills.

thats the spirit; told you campaigning works

maybe it's time for me to post my compilation of skullflower rarities again

Listened to Form Destroyer twice today. It's fantastic!

I completely forgot about both the '88 EP Birthdeath and the '90 CD Ruins, which compiles Form Destroyer, half of Birthdeath, and two other tracks.

Form Destroyer is far better than Birthdeath, so nbd over not nominating it.

always hated the mastering on the ruins CD

90s CDs in general are terrible.

I shoulda nommed skullflower's '89 shock 7" in tracks, oops

anyway, here's that comp

skullflower - ancient bloodless eye (1988 - 1992)

01 i live in the bottomless pit (1989 shock 7")
02 bo diddley's shitpump (1989 shock 7")
03 timebomb (1988 birthdeath 12")
04 rift (1990 majora 7")
05 avalanche (1990 majora 7")
06 rotten sun (1991 toejam 7")
07 spook rise (1991 toejam 7")

Awesome, thanks!

not familiar at all with Skullflower, thanks Edward!

Nice to see melvins and Skullflower fans about, i must say

skullflower hugely important to me in '89, think I might've done the first US interview for them back then?

And a former ilxor probably did the first UK interview with Melvins.

Actually does anyone remember when in the UK; Melvins first got written about? Was it along with Mudhoney ?

probably Everett True in the late 80's. ive never heard a note of Skullflower. better rectify that!

well I was assuming it was ET, just wasn't sure when.

from 88 - 92 skullflower were a nasty driven lo-fi psych rock band, then they dropped the rock part and spent 20 years making vaguely differentiated noise records

You know what; see when you guys talk about an album or two the next few ballots have those albums in their ballot. Coincidence? I think not.

Wonder if it would work for Zoogs Rift or Poison Idea.

spent 20 years making vaguely differentiated noise records

ha, yes, I believe "bottomless pit of artistic onanism" was the reference on the YouTube thread. thanx f/the comp, btw did you receive a text yest?

a text yest? no I don't think so?

pm sent.

ok lol so I know hellhouse irl

just fyi, I will hunt down anyone who doesn't rep a little industrial on their ballot

hellhouse just tell us who you are

I believe he is a house made of hell

djp anything in particular you wish people to check out and vote for?

I believe he is a house made of hell

^^^

oddly true.

pretty accurate tbh

just fyi, I will hunt down anyone who doesn't rep a little industrial on their ballot

I nommed Test Dept., SPK and Neubauten tracks, as well as a Test Dept. rec, or are you referring to the Skinny Puppy/KMFDM wing?

I'm referring to any and all; Test Dept and SPK are fucking bad-ass but I am big Skinny Puppy/KMFDM booster

djp loves all industrial including those with dodgy politics!

just fyi, I will hunt down anyone who doesn't rep a little industrial on their ballot

DJP, was any industrial played at your wedding?

*Imagines the Bridal dance to Mindphaser*

Willing to bet they had ...And This Is What The Devil Does.

is Pretty Hate Machine a get out of jail free card?

I think he meant more than 1 token album

I'm trying to remember what I voted for that means Dan will still speak to me.

Hysteria

Open Up And Say...Ahhh!

Slippery When Wet

Holy fucking shit, I'm scanning the remastered deluxe edition of Daydream Nation on iTunes. It sounds so phenomenally better than the 90s Geffen CD I'm used to that I'm a little in shock. The noise break on "Silver Rocket", which I'd thought of as lazy and lacklustre, has so much more detail to it.

The guitars are actually clear and distinct. The drums actually have some presence to them!
