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

ilx is apparently not big on east coast hardcore

Then nominate it. I thought hardcore might dominate the poll but honestly got no idea what will. But thats fun innit?

lol, i'm not big on it either. just sort of a funny omission. figure someone here has to know and love the stuff.

lol contenderizer, you're like the UN :)

I'm sure it will be. Ive not even properly researched stuff i want to nominate, just adding stuff that pops into my head.

nakh gave me a good link

The Three O'Clock - Arrive Without Travelling

Are the Jam eligible or ineligible because of the Rickenbacker?

Never got an answer on the Feelies.

tim you are more butthurt than a tory mp in a dungeon in soho

any no to the feelies and no to 80s the jam

Cheers.

Three O'Clock were pretty rocking, though. Drummer sounded like he was playing in the Sweet or something and pretty punchy guitar on stuff like "Her Head's Revolving."

Always meant to listen to them so will get back to you on them.
ps its nothing personal knocking back album noms.

And all of that stuff will be eligible for a follow up indiepop/college rock poll

It's a subject I'm interested in, anyway. I just wonder if there are inconsistencies - I mean why no Jam yes Lyres?

i nominated lyres. don't mess.

plus they garage. is rocks by definition.

Or like I wonder if Sire-era Flamin Groovies would have been eligible.

dammit

plus i already tried with the beastie boys. no go, apparently. assume the same will apply to NWA.

though the logic by which an "albums that rock" poll includes the likes of foetus and (perhaps) skinny puppy while excluding the beastie boys and run-DMC will forever be obscure to me....

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Freaky Styley
Fishbone - Truth and Soul

So how does this work, are we just suggesting albums for a poll that will come at a later date?

Yeah, I thought I got it until Flowers of Romance was OK.

yeah rocky a poll is forthcoming just need to arrange when we can actually do the results due to another poll that's out there. Nominations usually last 2 weeks then we vote,so the voting will last until we can do the results. But the voting period is normally 2 weeks, but mightbe longer this time. Will need to wait and see.

Did we have a yes or no on live albums?

i'm not sure. i guess why not

I voted for Y&T's Open Fire which is a live album

though if it got bounced I doubt it'd be for that reason alone, lol

Can a live album not rock? Can a various artists comp not rock? SO MANY RULES.

SO MANY TROLLS

I'm honestly not trolling. Trolls don't have any interest in the topic they troll. I'm interested in this. I just wonder what the justification is for disqualifying perfectly reasonable things (like v/a comps, soundtracks) on what amounts to a personal preference. Rock's not about rules.

(Also, Beastie Boys, Run-DMC and Public Enemy are all three squarely positioned in the rock canon, but I won't go there with you over that.)

(I mean, if The Boss is disqualified, there's no way to convince you those three acts belong.)

you do it every poll i run. its part of the poll tradition now. Along with you saying we fix the results..

Stop, Kerr. I'm not trolling. And I've apologized for that accusation now a hundred times, and if you bring it up again it's going to start making YOU look bad.

My point is this...being more inclusive with nominations rather than exclusive makes these totally meaningless exercises more fun and less contentious. It's not like we're engaging in geoglobal politics here. It's a poll on a music forum.

plus that's kerry on "no sleep" and "fight for your right"
