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

yeah! Then a mod can fix it!

What is GAPDYX please?

it's an acronym for the hot critical darling bands of 2009:

Grizzly Bear
Animal Collective
Phoenix
Dirty Projectors
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
XX

it really has nothing to do with this poll

ryan pitchfork had all 6 in his P&J ballot iirc. ILXors got really pissed off with gapdy in every poll (they loved the xx)

too low fiends at the ready?

Mentioning this list of worthies:
Grizzly Bear
Animal Collective
Phoenix
Dirty Projectors
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
XX

... in the same breath as a behemoth like Sabotage is heartbreaking.

really that is no way to get me to listen to Black Sabbath, now is it? give it time

bill otm

eh, legacy aside I am MUCH more likely to play YYYs or XX than Black Sabbath

the other 4 can go jump in a lake tho

TOO LOW!!!!!!!

as was discussed over in the "Modern Metal" thread or whatever it is called, it's a common theme that this album is hugely influential on all that came after.

bill, get your hankies, you're gonna cry.

lawlz

I mean, I didn't vote for this but I assumed everyone else did

bill just be thankful I didn't submit a ballot or this could have been even funnier

way too F&*^IN' low!

eh, legacy aside I am MUCH more likely to play YYYs or XX than Black Sabbath

^ do you have to put your balls in escrow somewhere before you listen to bands like that?

Nope! (You do for Animal Collective tho)

hahahahaha

i will never understand how anyone gets enjoyment of the xx, who should be the zz's as they are boring and make you slee.. zzzzzzzzz

Hello all. So, I see we have classic Sabbath and Motörhead records right here - did you decide to start with 1 and go up to 100? 'Cuz I could totally see these as 1 & 2, even if I didn't vote for either.

I voted for both Sabotage and Ace of Spades. Some discussion going on about them both here - What's the first modern metal album?

SABOTAGE WAY TOO LOW although I didn't actually vote for it thinking about it, but I should have for side 1 alone.

I want to like Drudkh but I don't.

How the hell do you pronounce Drudkh?

this is all very silly can we please get back to the metal you loons

but you don't like metal!

It's a huge shock coming btw

a very low entry

Most thought this would be a top tenner

BLACK ALBUM YESSSS

Metallica...

fuck I could have knocked 3 out the top 100

Wishful thinking on ilxors part methinks..

Load?

Reload??

But this albums low placing will please bill and EZ Snapping but not ismael and neil s

not as false as load/reload!

it did sell about as much as Metallica's black album...

infact it came out the same year

about right for a poll like this imo

Liked it a lot at the time, never need to hear it again
