TURN THIS MUTHA OUT! It's the Alternate 1970s Albums Poll on ILX — Results Thread

Well that was fun, even if the top 2 are records I find it impossible to care about. I reckon I'll get Tusk one day, but Talking Heads.......don't hate them, but they're just so middlebrow: if they wrote books they'd be multiple Booker Prize winners, if they made movies, C4 would be involved.

Thanks johnny, that was terrific fun!

how is tusk compared to rumours?

Thanks Johnny, good stuff.

Now post 200-101 please!!

well 200-102 ;)

how is tusk compared to rumours?

weirder, coked-out, paranoid, tense crystalline beauty

Hooray for YMO! Wd happily replace Tusk with YMO, that is fine by me. (I think I voted for SSS and if I did not then I deserve a kicking because I totally did mean to)

Thank you very much Johnny! It's been fun.

yeah great stuff Johnny! now reveal the ghastly truth of the second hundred :P

do-over

was just kidding-lotsa cool things to check out/re-explore!

that sounds kind of interesting because rumours was not my cup of tea at all.

Hey, 7 people liked Tres Hombres! Obviously not as much, but more people, darn it!

Makes me kinda sad there's no Genesis or Peter Gabriel on either '70s poll or the '80s poll.

I've gotta listen to some Minnie Riperton, I'm not familiar with her at all.

yeah Abbott's ballot has at least a dozen things I need to check out.

i shoulda swapped pawn hearts with my #5 war of the worlds which i knew wasn't gonna get any other votes since it's the corniest thing on earth

I want to know where 'Siren' ranked.

Guys Minnie Riperton has the most special place in my heart. She is this perfect combination of just strength and delicacy, sexiness and innocence, and with the most amazing set of pipes.

i never really got into genesis despite having a huge prog phase back when i was younger. i don't know why.

I didn't really deserve any more than 5 of my votes showing because I only voted for 24 albums. I've mentioned almost all of them already! And don't sweat it ciderpress, I'm sure, say, Magazine missed out by a stupidly small margin too, which I could have rectified.

1) Van der Graaf Generator - Still Life 2) Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts 3) Van der Graaf Generator - Godbluff 4) Soft Machine - Third 5) Vivian Stanshall - Sir Henry At Rawlinson End 6) Captain Beyond - Captain Beyond 7) Faust - Faust IV 8) XTC - Drums And Wires 9) Yes - Relayer 10) Magazine - Secondhand Daylight 11) Magazine - Real Life 12) King Crimson - Red 13) Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Damn The Torpedoes 14) Van der Graaf - The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome 15) Yes - Close To The Edge 16) Yes - Going For The One 17) Ultravox! - Ultravox! 18) Genesis - Selling England By The Pound 19) Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom 20) Joe Jackson - I'm The Man 21) Yes - The Yes Album 22) Ultravox! - Systems Of Romance 23) Ultravox! - Ha! Ha! Ha! 24) Van der Graaf Generator - H to He Who Am The Only One

Makes me kinda sad there's no Genesis or Peter Gabriel on either '70s poll or the '80s poll.
