TWO?!?!?!

visit europe more (acoleuthic), Monday, 9 August 2010 22:35 (fifteen years ago)

Celestial (The Tower) is a mega groovy song. The rest of the album is quite good too, but I'd say the next two albums are slightly better. None of them are all-time #1 material though, surely? Hmm, may have to relisten...

visit europe more (acoleuthic), Monday, 9 August 2010 22:36 (fifteen years ago)

yup, two #1 votes.

This is boring. I'm bored now.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 22:44 (fifteen years ago)

well. so it didn't make the top 100 eh?

gman59, Monday, 9 August 2010 22:48 (fifteen years ago)

indeed, and johnny fevers not happy about that

With a few exceptions, this list has been mostly populated by a bunch of serious, unfun bullshit. Why does metal fans hate fun? Is fun false?

Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 23:05 (fifteen years ago)

chuck didn't vote

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:09 (fifteen years ago)

There has been an Anthrax album. Isn't Anthrax fun?

more lunacy and witchcraft! (kkvgz), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:11 (fifteen years ago)

For whom is the Anthrax fun? Perhaps for HI DEREs. For Johnny it is a place of fear and confusion.

more lunacy and witchcraft! (kkvgz), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:14 (fifteen years ago)

johnny wanted more Poison,Motley Crue,Kix, Cinderella,Winger,Warrant, nelson,tesla,bon jovi etc

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:14 (fifteen years ago)

I voted for that Anthrax album, btw.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 23:17 (fifteen years ago)

And I would NEVER vote for Winger.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 23:18 (fifteen years ago)

Or Nelson.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 23:18 (fifteen years ago)

Or Warrant.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 23:18 (fifteen years ago)

Not because they're not fun, but because they're terrible.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 23:19 (fifteen years ago)

What do you mean by serious, unfun bullshit?

visit europe more (acoleuthic), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:23 (fifteen years ago)

This is the most fun Anthrax album, but I don't know if it was nommed:

^ is great!!

Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 23:25 (fifteen years ago)

Was Sound of White Noise nommed? Used to like that one - more of a hard rock than a thrash record though.

rhythm fixated member (chap), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:26 (fifteen years ago)

What do you mean by serious, unfun bullshit?

Most of this poll's results are the metal equivalent of indie's current obsession with the likes of Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective, etc. Joyless, musician-y deliberate seriousness at the expense of any color. To which I say, pbbbbbbbbbbblttttttt!

Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 23:27 (fifteen years ago)

visit europe more (acoleuthic), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:31 (fifteen years ago)

johnny hasn't listened to metal for 20 years yet is surprised people have moved on?

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:31 (fifteen years ago)

I like Deftones. And, um, whoever's making thrash nowadays that sounds like vintage thrash.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 23:34 (fifteen years ago)

retro johnny is the anti lj

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:35 (fifteen years ago)

and last one tonight..

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:35 (fifteen years ago)

from johnny's beloved 80s..

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:36 (fifteen years ago)

NAME NAMES

Well, what finally set me off were the two Earth albums in a row, then Isis and Godflesh. That's a perfect cross-section of the results as a whole, methinks. And again I say pbbbbbbbbbbblttttttt!

Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 23:36 (fifteen years ago)

^ LJ's fave run so far

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:37 (fifteen years ago)

so you mean good music that hasn't been in any way indicative of this poll as a whole set you off on one

visit europe more (acoleuthic), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:37 (fifteen years ago)

jesus wept

visit europe more (acoleuthic), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:37 (fifteen years ago)

also Earth and Godflesh aren't in ANY WAY musician-y acts o_O

visit europe more (acoleuthic), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:38 (fifteen years ago)

"Dig those chops! That guy just played his third chord this minute!"

visit europe more (acoleuthic), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:38 (fifteen years ago)

I'm just saying that if I wanted to put myself in a good mood and the choice of album was between Streetcleaner and Out of the Cellar, I would go with the latter 1000 out of 1000 times.
