Pfunkboy, Viceroy & emil.y productions present: the most rockingest tracks of the 1980s poll NOMINATIONS THREAD (Closes Sunday 11:59 p.m. UK time)

i have a modest proposal, since emil.y started this thread, she can decide to include or not include w/e she wants to, pfunk can do the same on the albums thread, viceroy gets the veto in both cases, and in honor of jonathan swift no one is allowed to vote until they can prove that they have eaten an irish child.

nomeansno - Tired of Waiting

I know personally that I can go a few days without checking my email or logging on to FB, but hardly a day goes by without me checking whats up at ILX... perhaps AG was thinking something similar? (I'm sure for some the exact opposite is more the case) IDK but it is my opinion that people do try and fuck with an AG poll just because its an AG poll and that's just dumb and more than NAGL.

I'm not going to play cap'n save a goalie because he doesn't need one but these poll threads weren't ruined by the poll runners. Not this time, at least. Yes, its not an all inclusive poll - such is stated in the TITLE...

I apologize for any trouble I may have created by stanning for Souixse... But hey, I don't really care -- I gave it a shot. Obv. I think I know much more about what rocks than AG but "your own opinion = the only that matters" is sort of the classic ILM affliction, no? I try not to let it get in the way of enjoying things.

/words

ftr I NEVER said those bands aren't rock. They just aren't the type of rock that the poll is about. Most people seem to get it and just shrug their shoulders if an album gets 'vetoed'.

So try nominating more songs or albums.

Contenderizer thanks, i'll get back to you later. Would rather sort things out first though. But if needed i will give you a shout, so thanks for offering to help , its much appreciated.

last week for nominations

if a kindly mod is reading could you add the closes sunday midnight uk time here too?

Thanks.

Funny how the ALBUMS poll has like 120 replies and the SINGLES poll has like 20.

LOL Rockism.

Tracks poll has way more nominations than the albums poll.

The Godfathers - Angela
Dead Moon - Parchment Farm

Sonic Youth - Trilogy

there are 3 tunes in there y'know, and "hyperstation" don't rock in strict sense so i'd nom "the wonder" and "eliminator jr" instead

*doesn't*

^ otm, and i wanted to say the same thing. would vote for "eliminator jr." but not for the whole trilogy. for the record:

Sonic Youth - Eliminator Jr.

a poor rich boy coming right through me...

Band of Susans - The Pursuit of Happiness
My Bloody Valentine - Feed Me with Your Kiss
Mission of Burma - Learn How
Killing Joke - Feast of Blaze
Nomeansno - Rags and Bones
Savage Republic - Machinery
New Order - Denial

i'm just stealing other people's ideas and threatening to split votes at this point, but

Band of Susans - Hard Light
Savage Republic - Real Men

nnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

i knew someone would nominate new order.

what is it with fucking ilm and new order.
some tit nominated them for the jazz poll last year.
Someone tried to nominate them in best metal tracks ever poll.

It's like phil collins turning up on every 'The Best *Insert genre* album ever.... ' series

Have you heard any new order besides blue Monday or true faith?

Or like their first album??

of course i have. thats not what i was talking about

Oh ok. That's an early song of theirs. It rocks.

lol grunge:

The Fluid - Your Kinda Thing
Blood Circus - Lime Green

i know ilx as a collective have a soft spot for new order but no matter what both denial and ICB from movement are fucking bangers and should be nommed without hesitation

Bauhaus - Double Dare
8 Eyed Spy - Love Split With Blood
Shudder to Think - Vacation Brain
Psi Com - Ho Ka Hey

New Order - ICB

I've heard plenty of New Order, and think I still own a copy of Movement, and I can't for the life of me see why anything they've done should belong in this poll. I'd sooner see every single REM record included.

Btw, fair do's if you want to exclude Bon Jovi on 'Springsteen' grounds.

Better Hanoi Rocks nom:
Hanoi Rocks - A Day Late, A Dollar Short
Def Leppard - Stagefright
Crass - Poison in a Pretty Pill

The Birthday Party - Zoo Music Girl

Ministry - Deity
Skinny Puppy - Fascist Jock Itch
Love and Rockets - Kundalini Express
Bauhaus - Swing the Heartache
Living Colour - Cult of Personality
Living Colour - Open Letter (To A Landlord)

Nice Strong Arm - Cloud Machine

(Nominated "Cult of Personality" already.)

The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary

SNFU - Where's My Legs? (Can't believe I forgot this.)
Husker Du - Makes No Sense at All

Fugazi - Margin Walker

Rites of Spring - For Want of

I thought I had nominated she sells sanctuary myself.

Throwing Muses - Cry Baby Cry

Accept - Balls to the Wall
