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

Dude, how is there not a wikipedia article about "Down Boys"? What was up with the trenchcoat guy in the video? What is a "down boy"?

lj & ez are polar opposites.

Prolly a bunch of stuff from 1995-present that I've never heard of and would likely hate, and then some Zep, Sabbath, and maybe something I'm not expecting but will be happy about. xps

Black Sabbath Black Sabbath was scientifically determine to be the first modern metal album last night.

I heard once that "down boys" were male prostitutes, so make of that what you will.

i never understood the 'record that invented (genre) is the best because it was the first' stance, like would you expect 'rapper's delight' to win a rap songs poll?

WELL, CLASSIC METAL AND 'PINK' BY BORIS WHICH HAS 'FAREWELL' ON IT, THE ULTIMATE FALSE-METAL HIPSTER CHOON ^_^

LJ's fave boris tune btw

happens a lot in metal. Though pretty much every genre suffers from it.

sooooooo much this

Black Sabbath don't sound THAT heavy in the context of what's come since

                                                                                                                                  suggest ban ->

hahahaha whoops

on ILM metal seems to be split into pre 90 and post 90, and those who only listen to one of those camps are missing out BIG STYLE imo

uh-oh, Bill's gonna go mental (and quite possibly medieval on your asses). pray to whatever dark gods you cower to that Master of Reality may come up top, o lowly-bred infidels!

LJ is The Lex of metal.

Johnny Fever is a younger Homer Simpson Chuck.

For Homer Johnny http://www.metalsucks.net/2010/07/23/metalsucks-and-bring-back-glam-present-the-ten-best-must-have-glam-metal-albums-the-final-countdown/

xp: Johnny Fever, did you vote for Foghat in this poll?

Maybe I am like Chuck in the way that I champion what I truly like, but I honestly think I have better taste. LOL

we all champion what we truly like, I know I do.

too low

As far as post'90 '80s style metal goes, I was into Saigon Kick for their first couple albums. But then they kind of imploded after a tiny mtv hit (which of course was an acoustic ballad in the wake of "More Than Words").

We're in the top 20, anyone who says too low from now on gets their bollocks smeared in gravy,tied up and left dangling for Henry.

awesome album, always been a close second to ride the lightning for me though

This poll is just too metal for bill.

^Screw you Herm. YOu know where I was last night. A FUCKING SLAYER CONCERT. You can take your Borises,Sleepy Bananas Gorilla Shit Museum, Slough Fegs, Nirvanas and Black MEtal dorks and SHOVE THEM UP YOUR ASS. What i saw last night was fucking pulverizing and kicks the shit out of the 90% of this list that isnt Sabbath.

The dudes in Banana Sleepy Gorilla shit would be cowering in fear if they had to share the stage with fucking Slayer.

too high imo

While Bill and I probably don't see completely eye to eye on what's good and what's not, we are unified in disgust of this list as a whole.

metal is all about verse-chorus thrashing w/ pentatonic melodic sensibility and guitar solos

that is what metal is and we have ruined it

rip metal

this list is severely lacking in KISS imo

REAL TALK

lol
xp quadruple lols

Metal is what I witnessed last night. Not Ulver. Not even close.

Bill did you vote for a slayer album made in the last 19 years?

My top Metallica album placed way low on this poll, but Master of Puppets at least has Orion - my #1 pick from the tracks poll - on it. I haven't listened to the record as a whole in years either, but I've had Damage Inc. floating around in and out of my head for a few days (amongst all this other metal!).

I didn't, but that's because I didn't double up all that much. I would stan for the newest one and Christ Illusion, though. xp

Hair metal for johnny

Glad we got Platter of Crumpets (er... Master of Puppets) out of the way already. That fucking album. Ugh.

Henry is waiting btw hes hungry.

Metallica, GnR... let's go ahead and clear out all those despicable touchstones.

Megadeth, anyone?

Appetite pretty much transcends hair metal, dudes. It's among the ALL TIME greats in popular music in general.

eh, I guess

It's only got three really good songs on it and one's a cover

Does your copy have three previously unheard bonus tracks, Dan??

:D

lol no, I am willing to back the singles off of that album

don't care about anything else

also willing to back the song "Master of Puppets" but other than that don't really care about that Metallica album either

master of puppets is great

Sad that St. Anger didn't show up. :(
