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

How would you guys feel if Fun House beat all this other shit to #1?

even more confident about my wish that proto-punk/punk/alternative/grunge stuff was more forcibly excluded from the proceedings

only 4 of my top ten to go btw. -_-

Only 4 of my top 10 left too, with no real hope for 2 of those. 1 I figure is guaranteed.

too low

your #1?

My position on Mastodon is well known, so I will just say that the mere idea that Mastodon has done anything better than Sad Wings of Destiny should be punishable by death.

no, not my #1

4 of my top ten left too, 3 of them ought to make it. 4 left in my 11-20 and I think my 21-30 too.

im just letting you all see how boring it is when people go too low :)

The official soundtrack to dull-witted fratboy party opening bongrips heard round the world

No offense intended to anyone who voted for that but jesus i could die happily without ever hearing that fucking thing again

lol

bon scott forever

amen to that

Back In Black is great, but I totally understand how overplayed it is.

Possibly why it didn't go top 10 (and there's people under 35 voting)

AC/DC hate getting called metal anyway.

you know I don't think I realized there were two significant eras of AC/DC until like 5 years ago

yes there is the good era and then there is back in black and all the garbage that followed it

44 Iron Maiden · The Number of the Beast (1982) (693 Points, 16 votes)

ROLLING GERIATRIC METAL POLL CONTINUES AS SCHEDULED

More than 1 era of maiden too. Which maiden singer is your fave, Henry?

A fine American metal album.

DIANNO 4 LIFE

eh, I like AC/DC at least through For Those About To Rock... We Salute You

"Ooooooh I can fence! I can fly a plane! I can ride horses!" yeah well maybe you should drop all your other hobbies and learn how to sing you knobby little man

although I still can't believe KQRS used to play "Big Balls" endlessly

Dianno did wear a dog collar after all.

Number Of The Beast was stuck on 666 points for a couple of days until some late arsehole voted for it and spoiled it.

out the beast!

Razor's Edge (1990) and Stiff Upper Lip (2000) aren't bad. Black Ice has its moments. One decent album per decade.

Number of the Beast was my first 80s metal album. Still rules.

every ac/dc album is trumpeted as their best since back in black

43 Celtic Frost · To Mega Therion (1985) (697 Points, 15 votes)

celtic frost have avant-garde influences?

yes

Listen to pre-90s music!

^ their avant garde album

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, August 11, 2010 4:47 PM (Yesterday)

loooooooooool

I would say "Yield" is Pearl Jam's avant garde album.

lj didn't see it because he was in the huff because he thought Neurosis missed out, bill.

Oh, good god.

did see it; thought it was you trying to be funny

oh and here's some trve kvlt material, excellent

It'd please me to see Yield now

Celtic Frost's impact on the evolution of European heavy metal cannot be overstated. Along with power metal kings Helloween (and to a lesser degree, the sometimes cartoonish Mercyful Fate), Frost's enduring influence on Europe's heavy metal landscape is arguably comparable to Metallica's standing in America. Labeled by critics as "avant-garde" for their radical fusion of violent black metal and elements of classical music, the band represented a distinctly European metal perspective.
...
On To Mega Therion, Warrior had begun experimenting with different musical styles (especially classical music and electronica), leading certain journalists to describe the band's direction as "avant-garde" metal. Released in 1987, Into the Pandemonium would substantiate these claims and then some, introducing an unconventional collision of death metal brutality and symphonic overtones on its way to becoming one of the classic extreme metal albums of all time. Frost's most defining and influential work

I have the two aforementioned Celtic Frost albums, and while they're interesting, have had trouble getting into 'em. Opeth has a nice cover of "Circle of the Tyrants" on My Arms, Your Hearse.
