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

If you dont like Ulver or Slough Feg, you are a poser. at least that's what i remember from this poll. I wont look at this list in detail, but I think Slough Feg has 43 albums listed.

but dude, Sabbath came in 1 and 2. what more could you ask for?

some more Slough Feg

hey dan how did you get on with those maiden albums?

The Number of the Beast is fucking ILL

Yeah, actually, ask for this year's Maiden album.

speakin' of the devil, i just ordered the following:

Powerslave
Brave New World
The Final Frontier

already own the first four.

Powerslave is fucking awesome; that's the one Maiden album I was up on before this poll

You got the first 2 yet?

no, I got distracted by Glasser and These New Puritans and forgot I was supposed to be metalling myself

did pick up a Sleepytime Gorilla Museum album tho, which is pretty much exactly my type of shit

because you are a good person with impeccable taste btw

jj can send you his hard drive contents

hail zod!

When is the ILX soft rock countdown?

actually i could send you my hard drive contents since my goddamn home computer doesnt work anymore artrgrghghhhhh

anybody got some weird old g5 imac ram lying around?

I think you're the only man for the job on that one.

Geir's busy with the prog rock poll

for every whinging bill magill on this thread there's a CHAP who was happy with the amount of death metal/thrash metal/black metal.

X Post I'd probably be more qualified for a soft rock poll than a prog one actually. A lot of prog is tuneless and avante garde and way too experimental for my taste. Plus there is all the recent prog that actually would have fit into this poll. :)

dream theater are shit though geir!

Dream Theater are great. :)

But you could easily make a case for Opeth being prog as well... Well, in fact, it'be very stupid to claim they are not.

oh geirpaws, you like dream theater? Nooooooooooooooooooooo

LJ could easily run a prog poll anyway. I think he would enjoy it more.

I'm still amazed ILM has never done these 3 polls:
Post-punk
synth pop
twee

Synth pop? How about an electronic music poll? That would be somewhat wider.

Someones running that one though, right? There was nominations for one.

yep

NOMINATIONS THREAD for ILM's Alltime Best Techno/Electronic/Ambient/etc ALBUMS poll (nominations end 9/30/10 11:59 PDT)

oh yeah sorry here are the results of that poll

100-51: some moderately obscure synthpop, early kraftwerk, that second album by the knife, beaucoup fish, aphex twin
50-21: cluster/eno, more eno, autobahn, girl talk bullshit
20-11: dubnobasswithmyetc, selected ambient etc, daft punk debut
10-1: transworldexpress, discovery, harmonia, basic channel or w/e, #1 is the avalanches natch

ok argue

hahaha

Looks more like an EDM/ambient poll than a general electronic music poll though. An electronic music poll would also have to include synthpop and some of today's electropop and synth based RnB.

ride the lightning at #3 is a fucking joke -- should be st. anger

is that all?

a few of those (raw power, maggot brain, come my fanatics, the art of self defense) have been on my internalized "must purchase asap!!!" list BEFORE the metal poll, i just haven't gotten around to 'em yet

that's all now

xp

btw i still don't understand why funkadelic was nom'd for this poll???

heh--i remember when i sold off all my Zep records back when. what a dumbshit i wuz!

Good to know you love black metal.

^who the fuck are you?

I'm one of the people you accused of rigging the poll

he's Henry's best bud. you better watch out!

Yo. the one thing i fucking hate about all these polls is that now if I ever want to run a search in the archives for I dunn "streetcleaner" or whatever, I have to scrool through a couple pages of polls results and poll noms lists before I can even get to a substantive post about the album. fuck you and fuck me for voting in it. fuck you.

No fuck you. And me for "whinging" about it, whatever that means. fuck me.

"Whinging"

think it is akin to wainscotting

So is Algerian Goalkeeper Mr Pfunk? I thought it was for a bit but then they mentioned drinking or something and I thought it must be some new person.

drinking?

he's the new *improved* drunkenhappy edition.
