Nominations for an 80s Albums That Rock Poll(inc indie/Alt,punk,metal,heavy/glam etc) CLOSES SUNDAY NIGHT 11:59 p.m. UK

Unless others object then I guess those comps can count. Doesnt mean ALL comps are though. Will play it by ear.

Im happy for noms to be completist. Nothing worse than people complaining that their fave album ever ,that they could not be arsed to nominate , isnt included.

Not a popular choice, but Possessed is probably my fave! I'll vote for any Venom record on the list, though. I'm new to contributing to these, so I'm still getting the strategy straight.

Hi folks! Apparently I'm helping run this thing. Anything I can do for you? Warm Towells? Tea? Coffee?

also can I just nom:

Ministry - The Land of Rape and Honey

it appears to be there TWICE already haha

LOL nm then hah

Slovenly: We Shoot For the Moon
The Sound: Jeopardy
The Wedding Present: Bizarro

Would the Feelies qualify or do they not have ugly enough guitar tones?

Beat Happening – Beat Happening

lmao

― cock chirea

lol, sorry, I copy and pasted from my 'best indie albums' list and forgot to remove that one. It's definitely too twee, lo-fi, for this poll. Please remove it.

This crossed my mind as well, but I decided they flop too much to rock enough for this list.

Naked City - Naked City

(Does that count?)

thanks

no various artists comps!

also I suspect "the" will be your enemy, not capitalization, when it comes to spotting duplicates

xp

oops sorry xp

though that Repo Man ST was one of the first things I thought of!

A certain poster not posting on ilx insists that Spacemen 3 be allowed and ive agreed.

like the jesus & mary chain, their first album should definitely be included. beyond that, i'd be inclined to quibble.

are v/a comps allowed? because if so

I'll stan for V/A comps in a genre poll, especially things like Dope, Guns, etc... and Repo Man. And Heavy Metal or Decline of Western Civilation or whatever. This is a genre poll!

X - More Fun In the New World
ZZ Top - El Loco

(really glad that first die kreuzen album got nominated)

I think the only Spacemen 3 I've heard might be from the first album. Did they go in an indie-pop direction afterwards?

no

not really, but they get a lot more quiet & gentle within the same general framework (hypnotic psyche drones)

Anyway they got 3 albums in

not that it matters much, but their second album is called The Perfect Prescription

That PIL album really counts? Is there even any guitar on it?

i dunno it

im relying on people pointing out these things. noone can know everything ever made!

Lol, that PiL album is abrasive as hell...but yeah, I think it might be completely guitarless.

does it ROCK!? as y'know industrial stuff can rock with no guitars. Abrasive is a good quality for the poll.

It's totally abrasive. (I think there's some processed guitar noise in the background on some tracks.) And I nominated Naked City and Sonny Sharrock for a 'rock' poll so I won't be really hardcore about this. I just thought we were going for more of a heavy electric guitar aesthetic.

I won't be really hardcore about this.

like about arguing this; obviously, it's not up to me.

(It doesn't rock in any sense in which I would use the term.)

Btw
Sonny Sharrock - Seize the Rainbow

the flowers of romance rocks based on drums only... banging the door is f'kn heavy
