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

Didn't make my cut. Not one of my favourite Chrome tracks.

In better news, I DID vote for Stainless Steel Providers after all. And at number 14 to boot. No idea why ctrl-f didn't pick that up before.

I'm thinking stirmonster is enjoying the rollout more than he expected

Haha YES.

I'M GONNA WAIT TILL THE CLUB IS FULL
THEN I'M GONNA RIDE THE MECHANICAL BULL

The pinnacle of joke-punk.

Not heard the vandals before

Peace Thru Vandalism is a top album, well worth checking out.
Their later stuff is very different, kind of in the vein of 90s pop-punk like NoFX etc. A little bit too cutesy-pie at times but sometimes quite fun (although to be fair I've not listened to it in years).

god I despise NoFX so much. Still gutted the Descendents went in that vein on their comeback. What a letdown.

I dont remember if I voted for The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave or not, but I def meant to. That song is awesome

the FREE PUSSY RIOT thing was a great idea btw; I'm kind of pissed I didn't think of that and actually submitted a ballot instead

Oh sure NoFX are awful, they were just the first comparison that came to mind. There are probably closer ones but I'm struggling right now - Screaching Weasel maybe? They're a lot less Ramones-y than SW though.
xpost

Just found it strange 2 people did it. ballots were like 2 weeks apart too.
xp

Rock Box is cool but a long way from being one of my fave Run-DMC tracks.

I should have incorporated it into the title shouldn't I?

If a kindly mod wants to add (FREE PUSSY RIOT) to the title then please do.

Vote Foetus and Pussy Riot are freed, vote Sonic Youth and their sentence is extended.

(Just kidding I like SY and they appear in both of my ballots).

some punk stuff doing well so far

That'll be the shortest song from my ballot to place, glad it made the rollout. I like that the SoCal brat-punk it making a showing.

HOT STICKY SCENES, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

At least a few of the ilx goths got out their coffins to vote

I really like "Rain", the whole Love album in fact. Kind of a Joy Division-meets-Zep vibe. It was totally arbitrary that they didn't end up making my final ballots. Is this really considered goth?

Always good to see Red Cross/Redd Kross. I voted for Neurotica-era stuff instead but I like this too.

Didn't know that Trouble song but it's really good.

Bauhaus are terrible except for 'swing the heartache' (which i would have voted for)

Bauhaus > The Cult

Although neither of them have a particularly big place in my heart I'd have to say.

My last recap. Will leave it to sund4r again.

I voted for this. prob. my favorite Bauhaus song. In the Flat Field has a number of great trebly and slashing guitar riffs that elevate it out of the goth ghetto and make it a postpunk classic of sorts. Dark Entries in particular has a genuine punk drive that nicely offsets Murphy's theatrical tendencies. I'm not a goth fan, but this track isn't particularly goth IMO.

Oh, am I supposed to be starting from the bottom and working up?

Yeah, In the Flat Field really rocks. I just think of them as a good heavy rock band at that point.

yes please that's the format we usually use. Thought I'd help you out there.

I'm thinking I really need to listen to some Bauhaus. Only really heard one or two songs.

Ha, I wonder if there's a macro in Word that can flip a list upside down...

Oh duh. I can just c&p your list. Nm.

All fixed up.

Choooooon.

didn't vote for it, but expected it to be much higher.

Nice to see Trouble place!

oooohhhhhhhhh... you're a cold blooded killer, AG, for starting this again hours before I got up.

you had ample warning!

didn't vote for it, but expected it to be much higher.
Might be a bit of vote-splitting going on. I left it out 'cause I already had several Dino Jr tunes on my ballot.
