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

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.

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

not as an anti-canon statement. just to show my appreciation for the form. a little capsule of heavy noisy rock/metal.

yeahhhhhh

Two in a row, nice.
*stomps*

for anyone interested in F/i:

a copy of the excellent RRR comp Out of Space & Out of Time, which includes all five of the F/i nominations, can be found here.

Killing Joke are v. cool, but I'm still waiting for one of the other noms to show up.

I misread for a minute and thought you said it was out of print xp

I would def recommend the CD copy of Space Mantra with the Boy Dirt Car split LP side on it as well

the RRR comp is from '93, and I'm p. sure it's out of print, so grab a copy if yr. interested. Space Mantra is definitely cool, and I think can still be had via Forced Exposure.

Now I REALLY want to know what gospodin simmel's friend thinks

I nominated What I See, and it was a top 15 track. probably my favorite track on Damaged, if only for the classic Chuck Dukowski bassline.

I think I need the F/i T-shirt

Space Mantra CD is a bit costly at Amazon, possibly it slipped out of print when not looking.
But here is the Amazon page for Why Not Now Alan:

W"When I was not looking" of course

I still have four other Black Flag nominations, though, and I think at least one of those will be much higher.

the three best tunes on Why Not Now? Alan! are on Out of Space & Out of Time, fwiw. you saw the link for that, right?

check out the Forced Exposure website. they have a bunch of F/i CDs available.

right on

great great song

^On my ballot, and prob my single favorite BHS song.

I THINK that's true for me, in that it's my favourite BHS song and I think I voted for it.

178 Sisters Of Mercy - Temple Of Love 260 Batcave Points, 5 Votes by "i'm definitely not a goth i just like wearing black" ilxors
http://youtu.be/u_W3VykYhWA

has there been a poll on ILM of the Original vs 92 version?

no because everyone would vote for the original

I would hope so, but y'know, it's ILM.

Tru dat

Can't decide if this Slade song is great or awful. Wasn't even aware that they were active as a band releasing music in the 80s.

xp: you should only worry if someone finds a cover by Fefe Dobson

Now I REALLY want to know what gospodin simmel's friend thinks

― Algerian Goalkeeper, 2012. rujan 23 23:19

he gave up I think. all the industrial shit freaked him out

hahahahahah

but I know he loves Sisters of Mercy and would probably shout "too low!"

I blame j3ff for not voting.

I wish I could've voted for my favorite BHS song but I forgot to nominate it #Concubine

Jimi is great but favorite track is v much Backass

favorite Hairway track

in honour of this thread being accidentally bumped today i suggest you make photo accompaniments to each result through the top 50 or however many with photos from it: 80's Skot!\\

Sweat Loaf wasn't nominated :(

skot hates polls I don't think he would appreciate it.
Especially if it was by me.
