My prediction: the top 30 to be full of things I'd never heard of before this poll. That was a clean sweep from 43-32.

hurrah! Who needs the same old boring canon?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 13 August 2010 11:12 (fifteen years ago)
can't believe you posted 2 recaps in a row 30 posts apart with no new albums in between. i know we're almost done and this has been a great poll but the recapping overkill is ridiculous. most poll threads just recap whenever the most recent entries get folded into the "Click here if you want to load them all" section of the thread.

Ah no, I was aware of 34 xp. Clean sweep from 33 to 32 then.

I posted it for latecomers, some only read the final day. Anyway if you bookmark the thread you wont see it.

28 Corrupted · El Mundo Frio (2005) (801 Points, 18 votes)http://www.metal-archives.com/images/9/7/3/8/97386.jpg
So hipsters vote in album polls but not in track polls?
― tom d: he did what he had to do now he is dead (Tom D.), Friday, 13 August 2010 12:49 (fifteen years ago)
Looks more like sock puppets to me.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 13 August 2010 12:50 (fifteen years ago)
I don't think Corrupted are a hipster band, a tad to extreme methinks.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 13 August 2010 12:51 (fifteen years ago)
Didn't mean them in particular
― tom d: he did what he had to do now he is dead (Tom D.), Friday, 13 August 2010 12:52 (fifteen years ago)
I suppose one could argue all ILX polls get hipster votes, since it is ILX.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 13 August 2010 12:54 (fifteen years ago)
I voted for all 3 Corrupted, i'm chuffed they placed so high.
After the poll is over, Glenn will open up needle to the public, so you can see who voted for each album and even how many points they gave it, never fear, we are happy to open it up for all.And you can see shitloads of stats we all worked really hard on to bring you.So please everyone remember to thank Glenn at the end. Without him , the poll wouldn't exist.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 13 August 2010 12:59 (fifteen years ago)
and remember the poll is not meant to be definitive, it's just a snapshot of whoever bothered to vote. It's FUN, people.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 13 August 2010 13:02 (fifteen years ago)
Hey, it was right there in the original thread total, but I guess what sets this sort of countdown apart from the usual canon shit is all this doom metal and Boris. For better or for worse.

Doom has done well, even the arty kind like the above album, but there's been shitloads of black metal,death metal, thrash metal and good old heavy metal did best of all!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 13 August 2010 13:17 (fifteen years ago)
lol I read Harvey Milk but my brain was interpreting it as Harvey Danger and I was getting very, very confused.

between 21 and 20 this will switch from interestingly mixed to ceaseless 'classic metal'

you shoulda voted then (not that you would have influenced much in the top 100 i suppose)
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 13 August 2010 13:34 (fifteen years ago)
Really hope that Boris - Pink pushes its way into the top 10-15 albums. I'd expect to see it sooner than later, but what a fucking great surprise it would be for that album to ravage the top ten.
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Friday, 13 August 2010 13:38 (fifteen years ago)
Harvey Milk, Converge both really great albums, btw!

What a surprise if every Boris album but that one made it in.

Well in that case we'd still have about 15 to go...

great album, but very much the choice of the ilxors who didn't vote more much (or any) metal.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 13 August 2010 14:01 (fifteen years ago)
Your fault for keeping it in the nom'd list, my friend.

Fuck the claims of falseness. Funhouse is heavier than 80% of whatever else is on this list.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 13 August 2010 14:04 (fifteen years ago)
If there was an ilx jazz poll or a reggae poll it would likely win it, lol. It's the archetypal ilm canon album. I better check the results to check steely dan & my bloody valentine aren't 1&2
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 13 August 2010 14:05 (fifteen years ago)
As one of those #1 voters I'll just step in and note that this has always been called a Hard Rock and Metal poll.
― sofatruck, Friday, 13 August 2010 14:06 (fifteen years ago)
still, it's a great album, and if it makes johnny fever happy, im happy!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 13 August 2010 14:06 (fifteen years ago)
heh, if you want to get pedantic, you're wrong, it was a Heavy Rock and Metal poll :P
