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

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.

#199 Metallica - Fade To Black 234 Points, 5 Votes
http://youtu.be/l3EryN4stwQ

yeah, I understand. You're Living All Over Me is considered part of the indie canon, though, so I automatically assumed all its tracks would place well.

xp

cool poll so far dudes

That Bauhaus track slays.

Was wondering when something from Metallica would show up.

Metallica's a weird band at this point. they seem so revered and reviled both critically and popularly that it's tough to say where they'll place. I don't think their more recent blunders have led to any critical revisions of their early work, though, so I'm guessing a lot of the tracks in this poll will be fairly high.

I thought that track would be top 50 for sure

Hmm youtube comments are suggesting that Fade to Black is an anti-feminist screed, but I always got more of a "damn its tough being hard dude like me in MODERN SOCIETY..." thing from it. Not that the point of Metallica is their stupid fucking lyrics.

idk, I imagine they've blown a lot of their cred. maybe their long aesthetic decline has destroyed too much critical good will w/regard to their early work.

naw it just means the people who like them didn't bother to vote

198 The Telescopes - 7th# Disaster 236Points, 4 Votes

This is def better than I remember it being. Ace chorus riff obv.
xpost referring to Fade to Black

I think Metallica will always be one of those bands I think are just 'OK' though. With the exception of Kill Em All which I have a long-term soft spot for.
Never heard this Telescopes track, will give it a spin.

I really dig the slow build to the bridge and then the ROCK OUT! I just don't know enough about early Metallica to have voted for them. By the time I was getting into metal they were releasing fancy special editions of their black album.

~~eeexxxiiit ligghttahh, aeeenterr niiiightaaah!~~

(On second thought there is one Metallica track I think I voted for, but this wasn't it)

Oh sweet, the Go4!

I thought that track would be top 50 for sure

going to be LOTS of vote-spreading in the case of Metallica, I would guess.

hey that spotify link to I Love A Man in Uniform won't work for my dumb American self. I can't remember how to post the youtube link without it embedding.. but I have it ready to go!

oh nm you already posted the youtube link. time to take a smoke break...

The girls, they love to see you shoot

Wish Bimble had been around to vote. He would have loved this.

Hopefully he's shouting at you all from his cloud "TOO LOW"

195 Minor Threat - I Don’t Want to Hear It 237 Points, 5 Votes

My favorite Metallica song/only one I like used to be 'One' but now is 'Fade to Black'. Song is way cool.

Did you all crack open a beer?
xp

"Fade To Black" is an anemic slog, they made better power ballads in the '90s

trust in me, as i trust some dude

Yeah I completely disagree with that xp

lol so apparently i totally bungled that lyric, never mind

^ Possibly a bit too low for I Don't Want To Hear It, but basically I'm just glad that it's made it.

lol goole recently cracked me up with the display name 'Newgod joins this board, and quickly he's some dude'

My lowest Minor Threat creeps in. I just love Lyle Preslar's farty ,non sustain guitar sound on this debut. It was so "Out of Step' at the time. Oh dear

Re Bauhaus, I shunned these back at school, thanks to the faux weirdos who never spoke to me. Or anybody, come to think of it. Dark Entries was their best. The only other songs I know of theirs are their fairly straight cover of TelegramSam and even more faithful Ziggy

some dude is so off the money its not funny

even markers wouldn't make such a crazy cla..... oh wait.

^ Possibly a bit too low for I Don't Want To Hear It, but basically I'm just glad that it's made it.

I nominated I Don't Want to Hear It, and while it's a good song, I'm not too ruffled by its placement (I didn't vote for it, either). the Minor Threat rec is one of the very few that I appreciate as a single package more than a collection of stellar songs, and I expect it'll place relatively high on the album poll. the songs themselves are great, but they're so lean and focused and brief that it's easy to appreciate them almost as a single track (Reign in Blood is also like this IMO).

Lolololol that"s freakin awesome xp to sd (abt goole's dn)

Do American ilxors believe in irony?

Yeah Battery I'm not mad on. Master Of Puppets generally really highlights that side of Metallica I don't like where imo it's too fiddly and anal to consistently rock (obviously I'm well aware that thousands disagree with me on this).
