The ILM 1980s Anti-Rolling Stone Canon (FREE PUSSY RIOT) Rock Poll Results - Tracks! Final top 10 results happening right now.

metal thread folks are BABIES

tbf a lot of maiden was nominated so vote splitting hurt them

but if people don't like polls they don't like polls. Those who do can enjoy it to make up for it.
I just want to introduce lots of good music to everyone.

X are good but The Hungry Wolf is not one of their best imo. Would have voted the hell out of We're Desperate or White Girl if they'd been nominated.
Enjoyed that Foetus track a lot. Foetus has always been one of artists that I've subconsciously avoided for fear that I won't get it, this is probably a mistake on my part.

215 Foetus Interruptus - English Faggot/Nothing Man 208 Points 4 Votes

timely, eh?

Thought this might have happened with Rush too. I really like "Freewill" but I voted for three or four other Rush songs.

^ And wadda ya know this rules as well.

#213 Guns N' Roses - It's So Easy 212 Points 3 Votes

My fave G N' R song.

Kmfdm should have been higher, but I am holding out hope for some more foetus placements otherwise you are all dead to me

KMFDM tune is a stomper.

#212 Hanoi Rocks - Tragedy 214 Points, 4 Votes
http://open.spotify.com/track/6YfIwgej1ZyZx6DCxatMe1

That's a good one.

this is going to be all swans & sonic youth in the top 10 i just know it

ha, I doubt it. Right Wrong was top 20 f/me, and the other three Swans nominations don't exactly include their "hits" (such as they are). the tracks from Daydream Nation will place well, but I have my doubts about Death to Our Friends and Inhuman. love to be proven wrong, though.

Ha, this Cocteau Twins song is definitely harder than I was expecting. It's still not exactly Reign in Blood but it's pretty hard for them. Kind of Siouxsie-ish.

Liking this HR tune more than I expected, this may be partly 'cause I'm just in a good mood now but hey.

#211 Bauhaus - She's in Parties 215 Points, 4 Votes

That is the last one for tonight. Will resume about 1/2pm UK time.

You can post the recap now, thanks!
Spotify playlist of the results so far http://open.spotify.com/user/1234500846/playlist/09Ldc3UFXvm2ZGTfgV6Xlw

Hope you all enjoyed it so far and discovered some good tunes.

Woot! Love that KMFDM song, glad it placed! R U HUNG UP?! ~bannanaanana~

I don't want to step on Hellhouse's toes but I have an up to date tracks spotify playlist. I made it just in case, and also because I totally failed to produce the albums nomination list and I won't be able to help with the roll out. If Hellhouse wants to continue with his/hers then that's just fine, they started theirs first.

the Spotify list is now current, but if you want to update the list from here on out, that's cool w/me.

hellhouse I think you will be around more to update it 'live'

I might finish the rollout on Thursday actually and start albums on friday. We'll see.

but i do like that idea so will try for it.

hellhouse I think you will be around more to update it 'live'

depends. what time do you want to roll these out during the week? hopefully sometime at night 'cause I have to toil during the day like everyone else.

#216 X - The Hungry Wolf 205 Points, 4 Votes

WTF? 216?!

ha, I nominated The Hungry Wolf solely on the strength of Billy Zoom's riff, which is fucking choice. X have better songs, but few to none have better riffs (strictly a "rockist" choice, but w/e).

so far the most shocking result of the poll is me voting for Revolting Cocks and jjj forgetting to

AG: For future recaps, would you like it if I include info about points and votes in the recap?

yes please.
Most rollouts I will start around 2pm UK each day so americans can be around. If i started later then my countrymen might not be around to see them.

I have liked "Persephone" for decades but I think I only discovered the title in the last couple years. I knew it was Cocteau Twins. I guess I wasn't trying very hard to find it. (My rule was to vote for what I liked, even if I didn't understand what it was doing in this poll.)

I'll update as I can during the week, unless Viceroy is completely free during the day. I think subscribers can update Spotify playlists, so we could alternate the updating. could be wrong about subscribers being able to update, though. I'll check it out.

xp

everyone's on notice for not voting for maiden

^^^

I've apparently been very busy nominating tracks that other people like but voting for hopeless longshots. I think Maiden will show much later, though.

I voted for "Aces High", fucking love that song

(also nominated Pigswill, which I then ignored - nothin' but strategy over here)

xp

actually I slapped together an equal weight ballot 4 hrs after the deadline when we were still in grace limbo so I don't remember 100% everything I voted for

yeah I think my unweighted tracks ballot worked against me. shoulda dumped maiden in the top 10

I voted for three Maiden songs iirc: "Hallowed...", "Flight of Icarus", and "Wasted Years".

surprised at seeing both Makes No Sense At All and Livin' on a Prayer place so low. I predicted hair/flannel dominance.

Yeah, that low placing for "Makes No Sense At All" surprised me a little but there were something like 13 Husker Du songs on the nominations list. The Bon Jovi placement is really striking though.

Ok, who else voted for that Blurt tune so I can give him/her a kiss?

All of youse that didn't vote for it and helped place it in the top 100 are missing out.

Btw, I remember reading a fact article where Matmos placed their top 5 songs of all time and 'the fish needs a bike' was one of them. Good for them.

my placements so far:

211 Bauhaus - She's in Parties
214 KMFDM - Don't Blow Your Top
218 Scraping Foetus off the Wheel - Pigswill
232 Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name
248 D.R.I. - I Don't Need Society

I voted for other Descendants and Bad Brains tracks, IIRC...
