C'mown!

RIP Turrican and in his honour I will be playing tracks from the 70s poll for the benefit of late voters in the poll.

final 2 hours for voting

iirc the last poll was decided by jjj's ballot. If he votes it could happen again.

Just voted in both album and trax poll. Probably boring ballots, but whaddya gonna do, I can't keep up with you crazy motherfckers.

also while going through my ballot I realized the monitor release nominated is a 7" and is not eligible for this poll lol

I realized that too, thought you were messin with our heads! It's a great single, and I like the album a lot too. I think it was reissued recently, but vinyl only on Superviaduct. http://www.superiorviaduct.com/monitor/ They also did MX-80 Sounds' Hard Attack and The Sleepers - Painless Nights. Too bad I don't have a turntable :/

thanks askance johnson, and dont worry boring ballots are most welcome and far far better than no ballots!

You can vote for 3! or them all if you do a ballot of 100.

lol I can't read. oh well, too late.

if you can be bothered you can resubmit as long as you do it within the next hour and 3/4

btw seandalai if you're reading this askance johnson put his tracks and albums votes in the wrong columns.

and so has edward iii

Oh good lord, sorry. Should I vote again or ???

no it should be ok as long as seandalai knows about it. Unless you want to rejig your ballot in which case go for it

I cant edit ballots or anything to fix mistakes so i cant do it for you im afraid.

maybe it's a problem w/ the form, this is what I just submitted

sorry 4 the spoilerz

hmmm I cant do anything to the form so will need to wait until seandalai checks it

lots of rushed ballots leading to rejigged ballots being sent in today.
Thanks for helping out seandalai though, will make things easier if you notice and correct your mistakes.

Now 52 mins left to vote!

ive lost count how many we have now (its hard to work out on the sheet plus duplicates etc confuses further) but we must be close to 90 ballots.

Thank you!

these are duplicates, can sendalai combine any votes for them?

ok, got it...

I have to spend some time cleaning up people's ballots so you may be able to squeeze in a ballot after midnight if I'm not finished yet - no guarantees though.

just emailed you seandalai. Can you reply please? (its about doing tracks first so the viceroy can start rollout tonight)

Anyone other than hellhouse planning to vote? jjj? chuck?

OK
VOTING REMAINS OPEN UNTIL SEANDALAI POSTS VOTING IS CLOSED

So if you want to vote declare now so he will give you time.

HELLHOUSE MADE IT!!! YES!!!

Voted!

Got it! Thanks!!

I still feel bad that billy dods votes for all time metal poll didn't get through and I haven't seen a ballot from him this time :(

exciting times. Viceroy will be rolling out the trax poll in an hour or 2 folks.

I assume noone intends to do an albums ballot now.

How many album ballots did we get?

Rolling Stone Eat Your Heart Out: The Greatest Rawk Trax of the 1970s ILM/ILX Poll RESULTS

90 albums ballots, 56 tracks ballots.

awesome!

I meant to talk about ineligible albums like fro Jefferson Airplane (69) or Wipers (80)

I originally didn't expect more than 75, so 90 is beyond awesome!

when we run the results, it would be great to see the Rolling Stone reviews of the placing albums

you volunteering to type them all out?

Maybe if anyone here is a subscriber they could c and p them from the archives
Just dreaming

I'll look into making your dreams become reality. The rollout will be here soon!

I'm doubting Sir Lord Baltimore will get any love in the singles poll, but I have hopes it will place in the albums. From the previous issue of Classic Rock mag (there's another one out but it lags in the U.S.), Roadrunner founder Monte Conner lists some favorite proto-metal songs, and his top 5 Sir Lord Baltimore Songs.

Bloodrock, "Melvin Laid An Egg" (1970)
Lucifer's Friend, "Ride The Sky" (1970)
Atomic Rooster, "Death Walks Behind You" (1970)
Dust, "Suicide" (1972)
Captain Beyond, "Mesmerization Eclipse" (1972)

In other news, Hawkwind are to revisit their fifth studio ablum, 1975's Warrior On The Edge Of Time, during a spring UK tour which kicks off at the HawkEaster event in Devon on March 30/31 and includes regional dates in April. Other shows are being planned for later in the year.

f'in sweet!

I have a RS sub but having difficulty getting access to their archive. Anyone else having trouble? So no RS entries unless someone else can help, or their support actually gets back to me.

lol @ that butthurt davy mcconnell reread of ian macdonald's "germany calling" nme pieces, so many dimwitted gotchas
