Revenge of the early 90s!

Why are you posting ties simultaneously?

I mean, it's still a list of 100 songs and each song deserves its own moment in the sun.

because we have to get through to #61 tonight (at a decent time so euros can see it).
Cant leave all the work to poor henry!

but OK, i'll post ties 5 mins apart should we get anymore.

Albumist! ;)

(also, adding the year to these might not be a bad idea, considering it's an ALL-TIME poll.)

you want jam with that? ;)

Both of those are from 1992 btw. Will get john to add the years later using his mod powers.

Having the years would be ace, actually.

I did consider voting for 'Midlife Crisis', but then thought it was too much down to nostalgia and not enough a genuine critical appraisal of the song, so left it off.

Rusty Cage is from 1991, fwiw.

ahh, it came out in the UK as a single in 92.

I gave 'Midlife Crisis' fewer points than it deserves - great track.

I'll post years as long as emil.y promises to watch every youtube!

Hm, I'll have to switch computers, but okay.

Anyway, yeah. Midlife Crisis was a song I wasn't expecting from Faith No More back in 1992. I remember sitting on my sofa kind of dumbstruck after it premiered on MTV. It didn't take long to love it, but I was in no way sure at first. Rusty Cage, otoh, being the opening track on Badmotorfinger, was different from previous Soundgarden tracks in an OH MY FUCKING GAWD kind of way. I still think Kim is way underrated as an "I can do more than just sound like Iommi" guitarist.

yay emil.y, and when you do a Twee top 100, I promise to listen to them all too.

Kim Thayil is a very underrated guitarist.

92 TIE.
Guns 'N Roses - Welcome To The Jungle(1987) (319 Points, 8 votes)

TOO LOW!

That's like one of the classix of all classix.

lol, I knew you would say that, can someone say "it's not metal" so we can get the set please? ;)

Although, upon review of my ballot, I see I failed to include it. So, never mind.

lulz

One for Hi Dere coming up next, showing he is ronger that ron rong from rongland.

92 TIE.
Ministry - Just One Fix (1992) (319 Points, 8 votes)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhHAlBQsWhI

If "Just One Fix" is at 92, I'm starting to have doubts that "Burning Inside" will make it. Though I really have no gauge of who likes what on ILM where Ministry is concerned.

this is ILM, you never know what will make or wont make it.

who likes cover versions?

because one is coming up, by one of the most important metal bands ever. But this cover surprised everyone. Most of you will know the original.
Who wants to guess?

Metallica's cover of Green Hell?

no..

Ugly Kid Joe's cover of Cat's in the Cradle? okay, j/k

Arab Strap's version of You Shook Me All Night Long or 1000 Homo DJs' version of Supernaut.

Slayer - Guilty of Being White (psyche)

You'd better hurry up and start posting these, because there's a coronal mass ejection headed for Earth today: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/7923069/Nasa-scientists-braced-for-solar-tsunami-to-hit-earth.html

strangely enough, none of these.

Sore Throat - I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing

btw bill magill says he knows what will be #1. So everyone should post what they think the #10 will be now, so we can see who is closest!

It's Bring the Noize, isn't it?

I said an Important band ;)

Anthrax isn't important? b'gosh, why are you even running this poll? ;)

91
Celtic Frost - Mexican Radio (1987) (319 Points, 10 votes)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGpdtgeZbgk

I remember someone mentioning this in the noms thread. Time to hear it, I guess.

Damn, thought it would be Motley Crue's "Anarchy in the UK."

As a fan of the Wall of Voodoo original, and never having been a fan of Celtic Frost, this is about as bad as I imagined it might be.

Would never have guessed this would have got that many votes.

I'm going to guess now that at least one of my top ten, and specifically my #4, will not make this run down.

Celtic Frost covered a LOT of styles and influenced lots of genres(thrash/death/black/doom/avant garde metal). You cant really pigeon hole them. Cold Lake fucking sucks though.

go on guys, post your top 10 guesses

This early? That's usually a top 20 kind of thing.
