no no no, Im jusy saying that you will never see a metal list on the guardian. You wont even see it represented in their eoy poll. Places like that usually have a token entry at best. They're as bad as every other site for ignoring certain genres.
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 12 December 2013 17:49 (ten years ago) link
I can't deny that and I'm as guilty as anyone apart from Dom. I find metal utterly alienating, sorry.

Well my mind doesn't grade music numerically so lists are a waste of time and space as a rule, filed away next to games of "Babe or Minger", but it is nice to see "oh cool we listen to a lot of the same records"― fear of zing failure
This misses the point. If you only focus on the top 3-10 on the lists you'd get the illusion that people listen to the same stuff, but it's just not true. Despite ballots being limited to a measly 10, Pazz & Jop for example usually has a couple thousand albums. If the ballot were expanded, it would probably get near 10,000, with more varied results near the top too. I always thought these lists were an opportunity to check out stuff you didn't discover yourself previously. I guess some people just aren't interested in that.
xxp I agree it would be great to have a weekly digest of the best articles, think pieces, reviews and interviews from music sites for Kindle. I have cheap Kindle subscriptions to Pop Matters and The Onion, but lately they've been excluding the music pieces, argh!

no worries DL its not a personal attack on you or anyone. I get the feeling the Guardian would be like that whoever they employed but its not just the guardian anyway.

In terms of features, the Guardian does more metal than any of the other UK broadsheets, and more reviews, too. But it's a fight to convince print section editors that they should carry it. I've been able to get "classic" metal in; I've been able to get some young Brit metal in; when I was editing Film&Music, we covered a fair bit. But people who have no interest in metal require a big sell: "They burn churches1" or "They worship Satan!" or "They're the wildest band in the world." Saying: "Metal people think this band is really important" doesn't cut it. Sadly.

That's pretty sad & depressing actually :( Would have hoped The Guardian would be above such stereotypes. Imagine all music coverage was based on stereotypes?

― SHAUN (DJP), Thursday, 12 December 2013 18:49 (ten years ago) link
Obviously I listen to a lot more than just metal but every year these lists that have the same top 10s practically ignore a LOT of what is going on.
dan that is depressing then

You could totally sell metal in the same way as jazz, avant and experimental music these days I reckon.
