1970-1979 WTF - The Hard 'n' Heavy 'n' Loud + Krautrock, Arty, Noisy, Weird, Funky, Punky Shit - Albums Poll! - VOTING THREAD! Closes Mar 8th 11.59 PM UK Time - All ILXORS/LURKERS WELCOME

intending to do a ballot AG, just a matter of finding the time...

You still have 3 weeks but I know others like to do listening first so they should be doing that if they want to get a vote in on time.

btw I forgot to say but im dumping the you can only vote for 3 bands bit IF you fill out a full 100 ballot.

so if you do a ballot of 100 there is no limit. If you wanna vote all the funkadelic or miles davis or sabbath or priest etc then just make sure its a full ballot of 100.

Cool!

Though I dont see why anyone would want to do that as I had enough trouble cutting stuff.
Just dont stuff 5 led zep or funkadelic or whatever at the top!

And of course anybody can resubmit ballots if they wish.

Remember to vote in
Takin' Care of Business: ILX 70s RAWK TRAX VOTING RULES AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD - VOTING THREAD!- Closes Nov 8th 11.59 PM UK Time - All ILXORS/LURKERS WELCOME

I'm in the process of doing a re-vote after getting this extra time to listen to stuff but I really didn't anything I heard now had much of a chance to break into my top 50 but HOLY SHIT...this Sir Lord Baltimore Kingdom Come album is incredible! These songs (with the exception of the tame proggier track, which is fine too) sound like they are about to run off the rails at any moment. So so good. If there is more stuff like this lurking in the overwhelming album nominations I might need to reassess my entire ballot. So, is there more stuff like this?

oh probably.But you need to ask the others who are well versed in it. I know some like Man (ask vegemite grrrl) , Bang, Leaf Hound and Captain Beyond. And you are probably familiar with Flower Travellin Band and The Groundhogs.
Skot to thread I guess.

frijid pink, josefus, highway robbery, dust, buffalo

I guess death's ...for the whole world to see is eligible in this horse race too

Man rulez! Seek this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5wdyyjci0o

keep suggested listening suggestions coming guys!

If you want krautrocking heavy jams then do check out
Ash Ra Tempel
Guru Guru
Gila

Also seandalai I meant to ask. Should those resubmitting their ballots say soon their ballot somewhere just to make it a bit easier for you?

man did we really not put highway robbery on the nom list

Glad to see you back campaigning Edward! Where is acid metrics though?

Thanks! I am familiar with Flower Travellin' Band, Captain Beyond, Ash Ra and Guru Guru (all currently occupying premium real estate on my ballot) but I haven't heard any of those other ones.

If people keep recommending/campaigning for things we could get some really good less well known stuff into the ballot and that is what made the 80s poll so much fun. Plus with the funk and the kosmiche and the weird we could have some bizarro world results just like the 80s poll that made it so much fun!

acid metrics disappeared into a work-related hurricane sandy k-hole, perhaps he will reappear at some point

I do hope so! He will end up kicking himself if the stuff he really loves just misses out.

Got anything really weirdor esoteric you think everyone should check out?

While we are recommending stuff, I'm not sure if this is an obvious pick or not but Bobby Beausoleil's Lucifer Rising soundtrack is a killer. Pretty dark, eerie jams. Definitely one of my favorites from the era...and since it all the songs kinda bleed into each other I can't recommend an entry track but it's on Spotify so you should listen to the whole thing.

Gr8 poll, I am defo doing this.

seconded xp

but as usual I just wanna rep the stuff we didn't nom

I mean c'mon

Anyone else wanting to declare theyre gonna vote? If so i wont hassle you!

xp

ha keith! well done

In addition to Edward III and Pfunk's suggestions for stuff like Sir Lord Baltimore, November, Cactus, Atomic Rooster, Jerusalem and to an extent, Night Sun. And of course Budgie! I posted something on my site to promote the poll too.

Still not done with ballot, looks like I need to revisit Gila and Frijid Pink!

yeah thats great stuff. I wish i couldve afforded that box set that came out.

xp

I thought we got all the budgie albums. How did we miss that?

xxp

Gila are teh awesome

OK maybe a wee guide needed for people to check out the pfunk & related so try
http://people.duke.edu/~tmc/motherpage/discog-top.html the best site on the interwebs

Mr Copes top 50 Krautrock
http://www.midsuffolk.unisonplus.net/Top%2050.htm

Scroll down a bit here http://www.midsuffolk.unisonplus.net/ and you see additional stuff recommended (a bunch of it is nominated in this poll so please have a look)

I just kinda glanced at the budgie list when we were doing noms and thought "that looks like all of them" oops

if anybody wants to fall in riff canyon recommend you go spelunking in these threads

highway robbery's for love or money will just have to be the unsung hero of this poll

hehe im still chuckling about the bizarro world results in The ILM 1980s Anti-Rolling Stone Canon (FREE PUSSY RIOT) Rock Poll Results - ALBUMS! Top 20! ends today

so if everyone campaigns for the lesser known stuff maybe we can at least try replicate that poll in spirit even if the results wont be quite the same style (though you just never know)

if anythings missing then add here http://open.spotify.com/user/pfunkboy/playlist/1rFbtUwZlcYHBD6gcemMeK

Yes Keith it did, thank you for voting!

So among these proto-metal/blues-psych bands, any particular album some of you would especially want to promote? I never got around to hearing The Groundhogs' Who Will Save The World (1972), which I'll try to fix this weekend. I've only heard the first Frijid Pink album. Is Defrosted worth hearing?

Didn't check but some of these probably aren't on the list, but just in summary: Atomic Rooster, Bang, Blackwater Park, Bloodrock, Blues Creation, Edgar Broughton Band, Budgie, Buffalo, Bullet, Captain Beyond, Cactus, Damnation, Dust, Frigid Pink, Groundhogs, Hard Stuff, Head Over Heels, Highway Robbery, Jerusalem, Josepfus, Leaf Hound, Lucifer's Friend, Necromandus, Night Sun, November, Orang-Utan, Pink Fairies, Poobah, Power Of Zeus, Sir Lord Baltimore, Speed, Glue & Shinki, Steel Mill, The Third Power, Uriah Heep, Warpig, Wishbone Ash...

man it's hard to make recommends cuz more than half that list is pretty solid, I'm just gonna stay on message and say highway robbery

you recommending those or asking for info?
xp

add iron claw if you wanna get doomy, high tide if you feel trippy

high tide are great, yeah. Pashmina is a big fan of em.

btw everyone you all need to watch this

oops i thought youtube didn't auto embed anymore

if you use the youtu.be format it doesn't embed, the old youtube.com/watch format still embeds. basically have to click "share" on the youtube page and copy that link.

at least we remembered toad
http://youtu.be/_zyWwGleUcU

but forgot time to suck which is pretty cool for an album of covers
http://youtu.be/KkGcABw8LHw

nice article btw fnb!

Also seandalai I meant to ask. Should those resubmitting their ballots say soon their ballot somewhere just to make it a bit easier for you?

If you use the same username on both ballots I should catch it anyway, but posting here to make sure is also a good idea.

ok cool, you heard the man, guys!

everyone should check out Stray

im drunk but i want to stand by my challop above. Apart from mayyyybe jb, no funker is heavier than betty davis.. Just the performance. So RAW. Def worth a listen or lots

I picked up the Repertoire reissue of Frijid Pink used for just $5 on the way home. I've heard it before, but not the bonus tracks. "End Of The Line" is rockin and "House Of The Rising Sun" is a nice version, but overall their sound is still anchored in 60s garage. It's good stuff that compares well to Mitch Ryder and Amboy Dukes.

The third self-titled Gila album is cool so far, though I interrupted it halfway to listen to the 20+ minute live version of Man's "Spunk Rock." Trying to dl their self-titled album, live one and Do You Like It Here... but it's taking forever.

Enjoying the Heavy Riffage - s/d thread. Who's Mr. Diamond these days?

this is a good one too
