^title track on this is probably seriously underrated. Also, Underwater Love.

The Real Thing reminds me of a really good summer, going over my friend's house every afternoon to watch Totally Pauly on MTV, making shit in the kitchen while her mom was at work, and skating in the back yard (which was mostly concrete for some reason).

why were you shitting in her kitchen? Did mtv play some death metal and you just did it?

Involuntarily

Kerr makes the joeks so I don't have to

Making shit vs. taking a shit = an oceanic divide?

depends on how big your shit was

were you baking it, johnny?

dans gutted i posted first

haha maaaaaaybe a little

still JF, dude; not cool to shit in yr friend's kitchen

Anyway, to clarify, we experimented with cooking while listening to The Real Thing (and Mother's Milk) a lot that summer. None of it was really good, but it was all fattening.

I'll leave the breast milk joke to dan this time

nah, it's not as good a setup as "making shit in the kitchen"

I used to own The Real Thing, but only listened to Falling to Pieces and Epic (which still has massive pwnage)

xp yeah, not much joeks to be made about listening to breast milk. amirite.

oh dan can

Girlschool played here a few years back I think before key member Kelly Johnson died. I'm sorry I missed 'em. Great album. Bad Reputation might be my 2nd fave Thin Lizzy after Black Rose, so it should be higher. Judas Priest Stained Class might be their second best one, so I'm surprised to see it so low. Thumbs up to Ghost Reveries, Killer, I Against I, In Rock, Spine of God, Sin After Sin, Conference, Wheels of Steel, Killing Joke. I like the guitar playing on Presence. I think it was MOJO that had a great story about 4-6 years ago, reassessing Presence and talking about what the band was going through at the time (Plant had a child die I believe).

Is it maybe pointless to talk about "false metal" in a poll that includes all things heavy rock, where people had the opportunity to veto stuff?

MY FAVORITE ALBUM EVAR!

(fooled?)

Anyway, I'm listening to "Saturday Night Special" by Skynyrd right now and thinking it most definitely should have placed in the tracks poll. I'll probably be thinking that about all kinds of songs for the next little while, though, considering how the results went almost completely counter to my own tastes anyway.

Another One for Dan..

AC/DC · Let There Be Rock (1977) (256 Points, 6 votes)
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drf800/f868/f86889arnrp.jpg

Too low. That album crushes.

Let there be light, and there was light
Let there be sound, and there was sound
Let there be drums, there was drums
Let there be guitar, there was guitar, ah
Let there be rock

And it came to pass...

Aenima's pretty great, but for some reason (out of all the ones I heard), Opiate is my favorite Tool album.

I shoulda mentioned I realized much of the false metal talk was tongue in cheek. Guess it was just gettin old. New jokes please!

How many guitar players does it take to change a light bulb?

not screw in a light bulb?

How Many Guitarists does it take to change a lightbulb?

Opiate is my favorite Tool album as well xposties

Henry posting the next one?

I am joking whenever I accuse something of falseness... I mean I voted for More than A Feeling on the tracks poll.

Is Henry back?

I waver between Opiate and Undertow, usually settling on Undertow

but I listen to The Thirteenth Step more than anything else

Henry and I are enjoying a very short moment on the interwebs while i speed eat and then return to work in mere moments, so pfunk prob should just keep rolling them out and we'll see if he is available later for comment
