ILM's Now For Something Completely Different... 70s Album Poll Results! Top 100 Countdown! (Part 2)

men wearing dresses or naming themselves things like "Junie" took all of the jobs

That reminds me, where's the Alice Cooper at?

The general Spotify playlist thread has some but not all poll playlists: http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?action=showall&boardid=41

Oops My Spotify playlists, let me show you them

plus this isnt part of the series of artist polls. its a standalone poll (well, its kinda series as we had an 80s rock poll and theres gonna be a 60s and 90s poll at some point probably)

I dont know if the artist polls have playlists. you would need to ask william and I dont think hes been on this thread

Alright, I mean I guess ultimately it's not really my place to say -- I'm not running or suggesting these polls because I don't really operate that way. I just felt compelled to add my 2¢ about non-Western music of all time because that is an insane amount of time and ground to cover :)

I dont envy mordy running that non-western poll!

I just started one for poll results playlists, without seeing that there are others. Bugger.

What is ilx listening to? (a spotify playlist thread)

Im still surprised mordy went off his original idea of a soft rock/folk/soul/electronic 70s poll (ie stuff not included in this poll). It would compliment this poll and get a lot of participation. Probably a lot easier to manage too!

I don't even use spotify, I was just trying to be helpful. Never again. *shrugs*

a soft rock/folk/soul/electronic 70s poll

No. Silly.

I find it very helpful, emil.y!

xp

tom d you wont take part in any of them what do you care? you think all polls are silly!

I just felt compelled to add my 2¢ about non-Western music of all time because that is an insane amount of time and ground to cover :)

yeah, but in reality how much pre-1950 stuff would get nominated anyway? it just seems like there are going to be some people with a really in-depth knowledge of '70s reggae, someone who's really into '60s ethiopian stuff, someone who knows about some really interesting early middle eastern '78s, etc. and it seems pointless to leave anybody out.

stopping at 1999 makes sense though.

tom d you wont take part in any of them what do you care? you think all polls are silly!

No I don't I've told you which ones I might take part in! I did the Beach Boys and ABBA, unlikely to take part in the Blodwyn Pig/ Tucky Buzzard one tho.

xps I assume that crossover/Western-influenced music would dominate because that's what most people know, but it would be a fun discovery exercise imo.

would latin america be included, or is that too european? can't really include music like salsa for example without allowing in a lot of records made in the US.

tom d you mentioned you found an old 70s ballot you never sent in. Please post it here so we can see it!

the geographical/cultural boundaries of such a poll seem way harder to pin down than the timeframe
xp

i think latin american would definitely be included.

pre-emptively subscribing to the all-time non-western trax spotify playlist

yeah, but in reality how much pre-1950 stuff would get nominated anyway?
exactly! that is exactly my point.

would latin america be included, or is that too european?
why not? there is a lot about latin america that is not remotely european, don't see why not

tom d you mentioned you found an old 70s ballot you never sent in. Please post it here so we can see it!

Nah it was full of holes, lots of albums I'd obv. forgotten to put in. "Soon Over Babaluma" won it but probably wouldn't again... and "Not Available" by the Residents was in the Top 5... ummmm Beefheart did well, can't remember much else.

why not? there is a lot about latin america that is not remotely european, don't see why not

made in latin america though right? so no fania records for example.

oh go on tom! You got to pick over our results!

tom will you take part in mordy's poll?

Stop badgering the poor guy, AG!

xp - yes! jesus. por ejemplo, get one discos fuentes and call me in the morning.

LOL. One man's cajoler is another man's, errrrrrr, badger... erer. (xp)

he came in here of his own free will to post!

he wanted to share with ilx his love of Pink Fairies!

Well at least Nazareth stalled just short of the Top 500

And that reminds me, this poll could well have been the perfect launching pad for the Chou Pahrot revival, damn it, a missed opportunity!

but they never had an album?

Live at the GFT - you've heard it!

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/57521667/Chou+Pahrot.jpg

Oh I assumed it was a bootleg!

you couldve got people into it! Now is your chance!

Chou Pahrot was one of Scotland's most unusual rock music bands of the 1970s. Originally appearing as a four piece consisting of guitar, bass, drums and saxophone, the departure of the guitar player led to his replacement by violin and a change of name to Chou Pahrot. The band's debut was on Nov 8th 1974 at Stirling University as a support to Chapman Whitney Streetwalkers.

Their homebase was the Paisley/Glasgow area, where posters on abandoned buildings advertising their next gig were a familiar sight - invariably with the band's mascot, Freddie Horse (a demented looking grinning horse, sometimes with a monocle) either announcing in a giant speech bubble the next gig or simply saying that month's piece of soundbite lunacy.[citation needed]

The influence of Captain Beefheart was notable in their angular music, wild stage show and in their penchant for strange stage names. Other influences included Ornette Coleman's electric music with Prime Time, Frank Zappa, Wild Man Fischer, and The Broons.[citation needed]

Through the late 1970s, Chou Pahrot appeared at music festivals and toured Germany. They were favourites of The Rezillos, and frequently opened for them. The band eventually split up, unable to gain a permanent recording contract.

In recent years the band have enjoyed a quiet renaissance thanks to YouTube, where their songs and unique humor have become popular again.[citation needed]

haha that killed the thread

I ordered some of the Funkadelic remastered cds I didn't have btw. They arrived today. Maybe next month I will be ordering some more stuff from this poll. The previous polls I did
JAZZ IS LIKE HEROIN TO ME ! ! ! ~~~~ ILM POST-1945 JAZZ ALBUMS POLL - THE RESULTS COUNTDOWN (now counting top 25!)
and
The ILM 1980s Anti-Rolling Stone Canon (FREE PUSSY RIOT) Rock Poll Results - ALBUMS! Top 20! ends today

cost me a bloody fortune!

Took a trip to the record store today, picked up: Slave, s/t; The Isley Brothers, The Heat Is On; Man, Slow Motion; the Ramones, Leave Home; and John McLaughlin, My Goal's Beyond, which didn't count in this poll but I already had all the Mahavisnu Orchestra LPs. Thank you, 70s poll!

nice score!

may or may not get round to listening to the Ohio Players (not strictly my thing), but the cover art kept me very entertained throughout the countdown.

are other cymande lps as reggae/chillout as the self-titled? or are they more funky?

Really enjoying reading through the poll, discovering loads of great prog, punk & space rock albums. Great work guys! Wish I'd had a look through the Ra'anan Chelled book before voting, discovered loads of new favourites like Socrates Drank The Conium, Garybaldi, Perth Country Conspiracy, Los Dug Dug's, Twenty Sixty Six & Then and loads more.
