ILM : The Top 100 Metal/Heavy Rock Tracks Of All Time - Presented By Our Host, Henry, ILM's Favourite Heavy Metal Dog! THE END IS NIGH! (FIN)

Think Stairway... or Paranoid are both in with a shout too...

Bill's head exploded trying to work out which song is falser btw

Guessing Master of Puppets and/or For Whom the Bell Tolls will beat Enter Sandman in this crowd.

(at the very least!)

I voted for all 3 (sorry), and Master... and ...Bell Tolls were both above Enter Sandman.

"Enter Sandman" is a cock

Enter Sandman is a pretty decent Megadeth song.

Can only blame it being all over MTV the first time I went to the US.

"Bill which is falser Smells Like Teen Spirit or Enter Sandman ?"

Oh, god, SLTS by a mile.

so I've asked this like a bazillion times but WHAT IS METAL?

because apparently the divide I made as a youngster is wrong and all of this stuff I considered "hard rock" or "classic rock" is actually metal, which in and of itself seems to be about as all-encompassing as "music" given the way you guys use it

so, what makes something metal? What are the common threads?

I'm on the outside of this sect looking in, I think, but metal seems by all account to be defined by a feeling you get in your testicles. If there's no rumbling, it's false.

(And yes, feeling it in your testicles is really girl-exclusionary...just like metal.)

Bill & Alex In NYC decide what is metal round here.

by that definition, Miami bass is metal

btw enter sandman and smells like teen spirit are the threads equivalent of taylor swift & the xx, everyone knows they will place high so start the bitching early
lol

i can only promise one thing, lots of false and tr00 metal to come!

ready for 84?

I guess it comes down to what Justice Stewart said about obscenity: I can't define it, but I know it if I (hear) it.

Battles fans look closely

Cool

Another of my votes btw

I voted for it too, but wasn't sure whether or not it would make it.

Me neither, it was close but it got there in the end.

Hey Dan have you worked out yet that metal is a broad church and every metalhead hates most other sub-genres of it ? ;)

Except that Taylor Swift and the xx are both actually good, amirite?

no

Hey Dan have you worked out yet that metal is a broad church and every metalhead hates most other sub-genres of it ? ;)

yeah it's basically dance music with guitars from what I can tell

Taylor Swift > the xx >>>>> "Smells Like Teen Spirit" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Enter Sandman"

RONG

yes, we get it; you're high. stop rubbing it in

ilxor, I would not even lower myself to bite you in the ass after you said that

my dumb owner needs coffee but as soon as he gets back I will be here to tell you all how wrong and false you are for these atrocities

well, he is right about "Enter Sandman" sucking hardcore

ilxor, I would not even lower myself to bite you in the ass after you said that

Yeah... sorry.

I mean, there are definitely days I'd place the xx above Taylor. Sorry, poor judgment.

Otherwise, ilxor OTM.

Henry!!!

Poll threads aren't the same without Tuomas & The Lex. Wish they would join us.

jftr, my deff of metal: any post-cream/hendrix guitar music that was influenced by in some essential way (ie, volume, heft, noize, corn,etc.) by c/h, and/or their zillions of disciples).

strike that first by.

do you consider Cream or Hendrix heavy rock or proto heavy rock?

I got mad stick from everyone at school after that Word performance. "Are they one of 'your' bands? Fucking awful. Why don't you listen to Jamiroquai instead?"

deff heavy rock, just not extremely metal all that often.

I doubt Cream or Hendrix fans would consider them "metal"

Bill magill are they false?

if "Purple Haze" ain't metal then nothing is.
