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

Could Shout at the Devil make it, maybe?

Let's hope not.

With so few to go, and so many shoo-ins, I suppose I am hoping for some challopy stuff like Motley Crue or, I dunno, Accept or something. Or Anvil. But at least 50 slots are all but obvious, right?

I dunno. It's hard to tell. I think many of what I would have considered "obvious" top 100 albums have already been named.

oh, but there are some obvious-obvious ones that haven't appeared (Sabbath, Zeppelin, AC/DC, Metallica, Slayer, Saint Vitus ...)

True, there'll probably be 5 or so Sabbath albums, 4 or 5 Metallicas, an AC/DC or two, 1 Slayer for sure - maybe more. Was In Utero nominated - I agree that Blach is the most fitting Nirvana record for a metal poll, but I doubt it got enough votes to make it in. Badmotorfinger will show up. Maybe some of Death's proggier stuff (we've already seen Scream Bloody Gore and I think that more people on ILM go for the 1990s albums). Rust in Peace will be up there.

Oh Angel Dust will be in this for sure.

Baroness' Blue Album might post. Deicide - Legion. More Obituary?

I'm hoping Meshuggah, Morbid Angel and Cynic will show up.

Backwards!

yeah, ive never even heard a full soundgarden lp but from the singles ive heard i cant imagine any of their stuff is better than the songs on nevermind

I hate nirvana. like serious hatred. i find nothing redeeming about them, call it a blind spot or something-i dont know or care. I will never willingly listen to a song of theirs for the rest of my life.

and they dont belong on this thread.

i love nirvana and soundgarden and alice in chains and pearl jam and mudhoney and melvins and screaming trees get it up ye! ;)

grunge deserves to be classic just for the whole immmmmm goooiinnn huuunnggrrry thing imo

Nirvana I'm pretty ambivalent about (nice tunes, I guess, but more a case of "right place, right time" popularity) but Soundgarden and specifically Chris Cornell are the fucking nadir of hair metal-influenced hard-rock grunge bullshit.

Pearl Jam are awful as well.

Ranked:

Melvins
Screaming Trees
Mudhoney
Nirvana
Alice in Chains
Pearl Jam
Soundgarden

I stop caring somewhere in between Mudhoney and Nirvana...

nonono Pearl Jam ARE awful (although their fans maintain their later albums are their best music, y'know, the albums you or I have never heard) but Soundgarden are really INTERESTING and cool and heavy!

and now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was this thread

i like soundgarden.

I like some of Pearl Jam a lot, but it looks like they ain't troubling these countdowns. Also there were definitely more than seven grunge bands - I recall Stone Temple Pilots as an especially foul example

ugh stp

you know, everyone picks STP as THE grunge band to hate but they were actually kind of great; I don't know that they had a bad single

i like all the big Seattle grunge bands to some extent, but Soundgarden is the only one I voted for here, because they pretty much are for all intents and purposes metal, more than any of the others except maybe AIC

I'd agree with that, too

STP were only vaguely grunge for one album. They were lumped in for marketing convenience -- early 90s west coast hard rock = grunge.

you mean the fact they sounded like an amalgam of PJ and AIC was just marketing convenience?

"Evenflow" is a great song btw, fuiud

PJ is only vaguely grunge as well. Both they and STP are pretty much Zeppelin, though PJ veers Hendrix. Classic rock-o-rama all the same.

Never liked Soundgarden, but "Jesus Christ Pose" is one of my fave songs. Def. more metal than those other bands.

the 1st soundgarden album is grrrrrrrrrreat and i warmed to loud love(half of it is brilliant) the weakest one is down on the upside,and its still a decent album.

opening track is str8 fire

what is "fuiud"?

"fuck u if u disagree"

you mean the fact they sounded like an amalgam of PJ and AIC was just marketing convenience?

One album dude. And it still was better than Pearl Jam.

fuds say it

xp

Will there be an appearance of Naked City and/or Painkiller? Or have those bands been forgotten?

glad we have grunge because i dont know what ninth grade wouldve been like without puddle of mudd

I don't remember if any of Zorn's jazzgrind was nominated. Comes from a different tradition even if the results were comparable so I'm not sure they fit the continuum this poll was aiming for.

please just assume i mean this on every post i make.

That's the unstated subtitle of the board, right?

you cant blame great music for the shite that came after.

9th grade for you could have been knock offs of nelson,winger,slaughter,warrant,poison et al
