voted for sonny sharrock guitar -- one of those definition-stretching choices that i agree with
― abanana, Wednesday, 8 April 2009 12:47 (fifteen years ago) link
gonna be consistent with the last poll and vote for Kix again, although Purple Rain is tempting.

and when u run out of Kix albums to vote for?
― \m/ piece n' luv \m/ (Ioannis), Wednesday, 8 April 2009 13:11 (fifteen years ago) link
i'll vote for something else?

I wonder if my local library still has this book.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 8 April 2009 13:39 (fifteen years ago) link
Album misspelled above: Three Johns Atom Drum Bop
Albums I can't believe I got rid of: Michigan Rocks; Dust Hard Attack; Amon Duul II Dance of the Lemmings; Bad Religion Into The Unknown (the first album I ever got paid to write about, by the way.)
Not sure what I'll to vote for. Going by the what-I'd-want-to-hear-now rule, maybe the Vibrators or Suzi Quatro. Or something else.
What the heck, I'll go with Ubu I guess.
― xhuxk, Wednesday, 8 April 2009 13:42 (fifteen years ago) link
haha--i think i copied the list (spelling errors and all) from some unspecified site or other many years ago. maybe.
― \m/ piece n' luv \m/ (Ioannis), Wednesday, 8 April 2009 13:47 (fifteen years ago) link
i would probably suggest ban half of ilm to hear that Michigan Rocks record.

Pere Ubu.

I'll vote for BOC even though its their least metal album.
― Bill Magill, Wednesday, 8 April 2009 14:06 (fifteen years ago) link
Another one that I'm amazed that nobody ever seems to complain about me including: Meat Loaf. (I mean, I guess the LP cover looks metal, right?)
― xhuxk, Wednesday, 8 April 2009 14:22 (fifteen years ago) link
Stupidest selection above: Extreme, Pornograffitti.
― xhuxk, Wednesday, 8 April 2009 14:23 (fifteen years ago) link
These polls have persuaded me to order a copy of the book from Amazon, can't believe I've not done it sooner. Already curious to hear what Kix actually sound like...
Would probably go with Led Zep III or Meaty Beaty... of the ones I've heard here by the way.

xp Vital Idol is a pretty weird choice nobody ever seems to mind much, too -- It's a remix album, for God's sake. Probably was just the closest thing to a best-of at my disposal at the time. (Now I've got a 2001 CD called Greatest Hits that would have made a little more sense.) Though I guess he went on to inpsire bands like Bang Tango, which I guess makes him metal enough for people.
Bryan Adams a weird one, too (despite the climactic dumpster solo), but that's a great album, so who cares. (Also, people do complain about it sometimes.)
― xhuxk, Wednesday, 8 April 2009 14:50 (fifteen years ago) link
you owe me a drink, xhuxk
Yeah right -- as soon as I get my first royalty check. (I estimate by the year 3000, maybe.)
― xhuxk, Wednesday, 8 April 2009 14:52 (fifteen years ago) link
didn't that one make it on a Kerrrang top 10 list once?
xp
i'll hold you to it.
― \m/ piece n' luv \m/ (Ioannis), Wednesday, 8 April 2009 14:55 (fifteen years ago) link
^^^^I'm ruling that one out for just that very reason, even though it's a stone ice-cold classic. Same deal with Parliament/Zep/Prince/The Who. In the end, it'll come down to Ubu or the Velvets.
As a whole, I love this second 50 more than the first, aside from the half-dozen I'm unfamiliar with. (I can't believe that Bad Religion album still hasn't been reissued)
― Myonga Vön Bontee, Wednesday, 8 April 2009 15:08 (fifteen years ago) link
I think Greg Graffin genuinely still hates it! It's his very own hair-metal-Pantera.
Meta Loaf and Bryan Adams were both Kerrang! regulars in the 80s/early 90s so it's not like Chuck was out there on his own

Lotsa great stuff: Osmonds, Samoans, my two fave Motorheads (Orgasmatron never gets enough love), Dust, The Sweet (even though they're a singles act), etc. But I always gotta go for the greatest album of the 1970s: New York Dolls: In Too Much Too Soon.
I fell in love with Dance of the Lemmings once and have never been able to access that feeling again. Still don't get The Pink Fairies. And Myonga, how one earth is Osmium Parliament's least metal album??
P.S. Meta Loaf, please make an album.

xxpost - Yeah, I coulda clarified that a lot better, couldn't I? Basically I was being lazy and quoting the term "least metal" to describe a scarcity of metal in general on Osmium (and those other albums) even thought it's surely their HEAVIEST. (Same goes for Purple Rain.) The fact that I included Led Zep III amongst them gave the false impression that I knew exactly what I was trying to say!
Really, though, it all comes down to finding imaginary excuses to eliminate perfectly wonderful LPs from contention just to make it easier to vote for one and-one-only. (And ultimately that one is White Light/White Heat.)
― Myonga Vön Bontee, Friday, 10 April 2009 19:14 (fifteen years ago) link
Lots of good stuff on this list. Live Rust deserves at least one vote, so that.
