Why so secretive?

its the system i said we were using to protect the suspense you guys wanted for the top 100

I don't post albums by big bands that you might have thought could possibly grace a top 100. These albums wont be announced until the end to preserve your suspense.

I'm glad I didn't find out sooner, because my dumbstruckness would've been prolonged instead of just being a new thing I'm dealing with tonight.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 6 August 2010 02:29 (fourteen years ago) link
jj, glenn,neil s, ilxor,viceroy all thought it was the perfect solution.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 6 August 2010 02:31 (fourteen years ago) link
it just depends on how many there are. if its a sprinkling of TBAs that will be suspenseful indeed, if its like half of the 300-100 range thats just nonsense.

I can abandon it and just post everything if people want. Doesn't bother me either way. I love it when people shout "too low" or "im glad that's out of the way"
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 6 August 2010 02:33 (fourteen years ago) link
the next one is a big band/album
I vote for abandoning it, because I honestly can't see myself caring much what #294 was when this thing is all over.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 6 August 2010 02:36 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i have to agree
― Without warning, a wizard walks by. (Viceroy), Friday, 6 August 2010 02:37 (fourteen years ago) link
You're going to have to abandon it after about 150, at any rate, otherwise you'll be skipping more than you'll be listing.

i was only trying to keep people happy
294 was Rush - Permanent Waves.
Im saying nothing on rush, i had my say on the tracks poll

Might I suggest posting them two at a time for while? I know I argued against that very thing in the tracks poll, but that was a top 100. In this context, it might just be nice to see the juxtaposition of things (and it would speed up the process).
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 6 August 2010 02:44 (fourteen years ago) link
xp TOO LOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
at least johnny will like that^
xps lol
i'll post a bit more often then
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 6 August 2010 02:45 (fourteen years ago) link
look at it this way johnny, by doing a 300, an album you love got in.
LOL I agree - this is the VH album with SYNTHS man!!!
― Without warning, a wizard walks by. (Viceroy), Friday, 6 August 2010 02:45 (fourteen years ago) link
too low
I devalued 1984 on my ballot, but that album opened up a whole new world to me when it was new.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 6 August 2010 02:47 (fourteen years ago) link
I was 1 year old when it came out.
― Without warning, a wizard walks by. (Viceroy), Friday, 6 August 2010 02:47 (fourteen years ago) link
My dad probably played it a lot during my most formative months of my life.

Like, it came out when I was 10 and my weirdo parents still wouldn't allow me to listen to anything secular (they've relaxed greatly over time). Anyway, I heard it blaring out the back of some guy's Chevy Blazer at one of my dad's company picnics and I just kind of stayed close, behind a tree, while the whole album played two times through.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 6 August 2010 02:48 (fourteen years ago) link
Rush was arguably my primary gateway band into metal, and I'd rather see them on this list than anything grunge!
xpost: I was puzzled by Van Halen's non-performance on the Tracks poll, too. Unfashionable now, maybe, but in terms of influence on the historical course of metal, VH were as important as just about anybody short of Sabbath. And I say that as somebody who has never bought or even downloaded a single Van Halen song.
Thin Lizzy were robbed on Tracks, too. "Black Rose"! It's enough to almost make me wish I'd voted.
― glenn mcdonald, Friday, 6 August 2010 02:51 (fourteen years ago) link
Hey I've never actually listened to the entirety of Bad Reputation... but no doubt its amazing.
― Without warning, a wizard walks by. (Viceroy), Friday, 6 August 2010 02:51 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah too much Thin Lizzy vote splitting I think on the tracks list.

poor, poor Tres Hombres. It got knocked from the top 100 of the alt 70s poll because of an accounting error, and now it's fallen just inside the top 300 of the all time metal/rock poll. Sorry, dudes.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 6 August 2010 03:01 (fourteen years ago) link
Posting two at a time: awesome when it produces juxtapositions like that!

I can do 2 at a time if you really want. That was a mistake heh

I approve of both of these.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 6 August 2010 03:09 (fourteen years ago) link
Machine Head is kind of overrated, but Highway Star is a great keyboard-wizard song, and Never Before is terrific. I also remember really liking Sway and Space Truckin also, and I played Smoke on the Water when the 100-year-old grist mill in town burned down.

Tres Hombres is great, too. Hidden gem = Hot, Blue, and Righteous (sounds like Love Hurts though)...
