This is boring. I'm bored now.

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

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 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..

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)

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

"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.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 23:39 (fifteen years ago)

Is Godflesh vs Ratt really a relevant argument?

A prog venn diagram for you to think about (Matt #2), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:40 (fifteen years ago)

Would go for Ratt btw

A prog venn diagram for you to think about (Matt #2), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:40 (fifteen years ago)

If I wanted to put myself in a good mood, I probably wouldn't even think to listen to Streetcleaner for fucking out loud

visit europe more (acoleuthic), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:41 (fifteen years ago)

It is when there's not just a tiny showing of glam/hair metal, but a nearly non-existent presence at all. xps

Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 23:41 (fifteen years ago)

Hey, you know what, I feel like dancing! D-A-N-C-I-N-G! So, like, we goin' Justice or we goin' Music For Airports?

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:43 (fifteen years ago)

ffs lj, THERE IS FUN GOOD METAL OUT THERE, BUT I SEEM TO BE THE ONLY PERSON WHO VOTED FOR ANY OF IT.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 23:43 (fifteen years ago)

British Steel = far too low. If normal people were voting, this would've been top 30 easy.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 August 2010 23:44 (fifteen years ago)

"normal"

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:44 (fifteen years ago)

there is good fun metal out there, and lots of it was made by Devin Townsend :D

visit europe more (acoleuthic), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:44 (fifteen years ago)

<3 British Steel!

spanikopitcon (Abbott), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:46 (fifteen years ago)

British Steel is quite a fun album, can everyone agree on that?

Joyless, musician-y deliberate seriousness at the expense of any color (Matt #2), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:50 (fifteen years ago)

i was about to post my list of fun metal that has placed so far here but i started w/SGM and realized that things were going to degenerate from there into an argument about fun. which isnt fun. so i stopped.

NOT FUNNY NEEDS MORE CGI (jjjusten), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:52 (fifteen years ago)

the people who voted for all these albums have fun with them.

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:53 (fifteen years ago)

but johnny doesn't want them to have that kind of fun!

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:55 (fifteen years ago)

Also, anthrax Among The Living is a ton of fucking fun, if you cant have fun w/caught in a mosh u r dead inside.

xpost actually i agree w/pfunks statement for sure. i dont think anyone was secret balloting a NO FUN ALL SRS CRED ballot, peeps just dig different things.

NOT FUNNY NEEDS MORE CGI (jjjusten), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:56 (fifteen years ago)

but anyway johnny, its 2010, you cant expect people to only vote for 70s & 80s metal of the era you like just like LJ cant expect people to only vote for post 1990 albums.
