BOOM BOOM

both of these songs pwn

although I don't think I voted for "Assimilate" lol

(pretty sure I picked "The Choke" and "Tin Omen")

Haha I voted for the other 2 skinny puppy tracks and not those 2. Teamwork!

I feel like we're all in an episode of 120 Minutes

"Fascist Jock Itch" was one of my nominations but I couldn't actually vote for it, not for all the "ARYAN YAHOO"s in the world

(had it been an actual Ministry track I would likely be more kindly disposed towards it)

you guys should have done some real teamwork then. read into that what you will

btw are we Anti-Rolling Stone Canon yet? Or do you think as we get near the top ILM becomes The Rolling Stone Canon?

actually this is pretty much par for the course, jjj and me liking completely different songs by the same band except for, like, Bjork songs and "Headhunter"

and "The Days of Swine and Roses"

I think I would like Fishbone more if stuff like Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake hadn't happened between then and now - I can't help hearing them through that lense, which is obv pretty unfair to them. Party At Ground Zero is not bad anyway.
Liking the Skinny Puppy tune a lot. In terms of stuff that's been new to me, the industrial-leaning stuff has provided a lot of my faves from the countdown so far, which has surprised me somewhat.

YouTube for F/i - Why Not Now?...Alan!:

http://youtu.be/28J11ta3Eao

I nominated both this tune and Clothes Hoist, but I'm really pissed to see the F/i so low. it was a top 5 track f/me, and is IMO one of the best psych tunes ever. F/i hammer away at an extended rave-up until it gradually gels into a hypnotic wash of floating and grinding guitars just barely anchored to the rhythm. an exceptional intersection of noise rock and psych that should really be about twenty minutes long. takes a couple minutes to get going, though, so feel free to skip to 2:00 in the vid (ha!).

F/i rule I love them, but tbh I thought George & I were the only ones on here who did so I AM pleased to see them here.

Hmmm with Skinny Puppy placing I wonder if Queensryche has a chance, not that they're similar musically they just both have a small minority of rabid fans.

And Party at Ground Zero is an all time jam, TOO LOW!!!

I wonder what gospodin simmels friend thinks now

A huge shock next btw

we all thought this was top 10 for sure

I have to be one of the biggest Queensryche 'fans' here and they only made #34 on my tracks ballot. "Queen of the Reich" would have also placed if I could have picked 100 tracks. Operation: Mindcrime made the top 10 of my albums ballot, which almost guarantees it a placing in the top 250, right?

Never said I was doing a top 250 for albums

Huh, I actually enjoyed "Clothes Hoist".

Why Not Now?..Alan! is some intense stuff for sure.

Yeah, I don't know why I never heard of F/i before.

Sadly we only got 493 albums with votes so cant do a top 500...

F/i rule I love them, but tbh I thought George & I were the only ones on here who did so I AM pleased to see them here.

that particular F/i track placing below Party at Ground Zero, a fucking Taco Bell jingle unfit even for disgusting savages, is a "you're dead to me" moment.

DEAD! BAH!

*shakes fist*

I can't find much info on F/i. Nothing about them on AMG, other than just a list of recordings, no apparent Wikipedia entry.

Oh nm there's something on progarchives.

and then one left to be
http://www.allmusic.com/artist/vocokesh-mn0000811600 (who are amazing too)

When members of his former band, F/I, expressed desire to go in a more song-oriented direction, Richard Franecki decided it was time to move on and formed the more loosely structured Vocokesh. Influenced by the industrial sounds of Throbbing Gristle and the space rock of Hawkwind and Pink Floyd, Franecki grabbed a couple F/I members and released the vinyl-only Ispepnaibara ("Arabian Pepsi" backwards) in 1991 on the experimental label RRR.

my tracks ballot was kind of halfhearted; I wasnt even going to make one, which is why I didnt nominate any tracks, and most of my favourite tracks werent nominated. That said, F/i is a band I love but haven't heard a ton from so I was a bit sparing about voting for them, at least in tracks.

I did vote for one F/i track which hopefully will show up sooner or later

xp to sund4r, F/i = Richard Franecki, from Wisconsin, went on to form Vocokesh. Here's an interview with him: http://www.scaruffi.com/interv/vocokesh.html

(most of it is Vocokesh focused)

Yeah, I don't know why I never heard of F/i before.

ah, man, that vid was on the (admittedly unwieldy) YouTube thread! I think after we passed ten or so vids, people stopped trying to open the fucking thread because it was a definite browser-crasher.

This is more informative than the AMG page, actually: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=4250

that F/i track is great. i'm amazed they passed me by until now.

rrrrhp!

Poll is a success then!
xp

that F/i track is great. i'm amazed they passed me by until now.

that's cool. if nothing else, I'm glad more people appreciate the band.

man it would be rad if that F/i song I voted for made top 100

there are three more, but I'll be surprised to see them.

183 Angry Samoans - Lights Out 254 Points, 6 Votes
http://youtu.be/cxS7a7GDqt0

Oops I guess I voted for more joke-punk. This is legit great though.

Enjoying the mini run of SHORT SONGS too.

that F/i track is great. i'm amazed they passed me by until now.

me too! though I'm sure someone played a track by them for me on outloud and I liked it and then forgot about it. I'm a big Vocokesh fan but never really thought to look deeper into the members' other output.

kudos to whoever put "You Suffer" at #1. I was thinking about it but didn't.

as a kind of anti-canon statement?

legit curious, btw

actually Electric Waltz might be even better tbh
