YOU TOTALLY MISSED THE ILX HEAVY ROCK/METAL ALBUM POLL COUNTDOWN, SUCKA (CLICK FOR A RECAP)

chuck didn't vote

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

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

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

I voted for that Anthrax album, btw.

And I would NEVER vote for Winger.

Or Nelson.

Or Warrant.

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

What do you mean by serious, unfun bullshit?

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

^ is great!!

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

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!

NAME NAMES

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

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

retro johnny is the anti lj

and last one tonight..

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!

^ LJ's fave run so far

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

jesus wept

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!"

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.

Is Godflesh vs Ratt really a relevant argument?

Would go for Ratt btw

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

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

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?

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

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

"normal"

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

<3 British Steel!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

How many times to I have to restate that I like Anthrax and did indeed vote for Among the Living? IT Я FUN!!!!!!!!

I'm not expecting people to only vote for '70s and '80s albums. But I was expecting a respectable showing for some things that anywhere else besides this place are held in high esteem, only to be belittled and treated as a complete joke here.

One of the only joyful things about opening this thread at this point is seeing the Girlschool album up there are #300. Them shits is fun.

are=at

Johnny Fever = upping Deftones & Attack of the Killer B's = doing God's work on this thread...

But I was expecting a respectable showing for some things that anywhere else besides this place are held in high esteem, only to be belittled and treated as a complete joke here.

― Johnny Fever,

1989? ;)
