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

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"

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).

Demented Dave won't play this anymore funnily enough.

Who thinks Dave Mustaine is a wanker?

You want a list?

a loooooooong list

As long as *this* list?

Of the age, that one.

yeah, I recall it being ubiquitous on rock radio, but it might have only seemed that way since I don't like anything about it.

I think it holds up well.

from out of nowhere >> epic
sadly "epic" will prolly place higher.

I agree (still dig epic though)

FNM rule

If anyone outside ILX is following this poll they will be thinking ILM is full of nutters into crazy weirdo music

outsiders OTM

fwiw there were a LOT of crazy weirdo nominations for this poll.

hehe, my friend is doing this right now and that's pretty much what he said.

xxp

Oh Foetus, where have you been all my life?

Apart from "Rock Box" and "I Love A Man In Uniform", this list is a million trillion light years away from what I was listening to in the 80s. This is mostly due to my hard line "guitar music is DEAD" stance, which ran from 1984 to 1991. Or, as AG put it to me on Twitter: "YOU ARE PAUL WELLER!!!" With that in mind, I'm following this countdown with a mixture of bafflement, curiosity, and not the faintest clue as to what will place next.

I think they are both great (Epic and From out of Nowhere)... they work perfectly on the album w/ FooN as an opener leading into Epic. Hope The Real Thing places high on the albums poll!
