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

not my favorite BDP song

WELCOME TO THE CAR SMAAAAAASH.

I've liked the Birthday Party for a long time, but my views on them used to be that while they're obv noisy and full of energy, their sound was too deliberately chaotic and discontinuous to 'rock' as such. Listening back to them for this poll though I've revised my opinion: a lot of their stuff is rhythmically compelling in its own way (while still being skronky). Love the snare action on tunes like Dead Joe and Blast Off.

WOOHOO

oh lol "Clothes Hoist"

I am so far behind you guys

My turn

Dead Joe TOO LOW (also Blast off! TOO LOW)

This is a great countdown (250 totally vindicated) & I have just plugged in to the Spotify playlist. Everyone otm about F/i, never heard them before, really great.

Wait what this metal shit that's just come on

Maiden. Ok, that explains it.

Going to move to Colourbox, get rid of the taste

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo savor those sweet Maiden riffs

it's very impressive how well "Assimilate" fits into this list's whole vibe despite not having any guitar in it whatsoever

145 Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - I Love Rock 'n Roll 313 Points, 7 Votes
http://youtu.be/5vFFyJ0s9m0

fuck yeah to both of those songs

birth school work death is ALL TIME

xp yeah both great. putting them on now!

xps

jesus no

know what else is all time, is "Unclean (Dead Dog River)" which I am not 100% certain I'd heard before just now

really suprised that "the tower" placed that low actually - worrisome because i kinda thought that would be the high placer for nomeansno. and maybe it is.

low end of the list needs more sonic youth

looks like woof is a metal hater

I should have nominated "The Diamond Sea"

Loving the playlist so far, not as keen on some of the industrial/goth stuff although 'Dark Entries' is one of the two Bauhaus songs I actually really like.

wrong decade

oh yeah that's right, I knew there was a reason I didn't nominate it

I love The Runaways, not so mad about solo Joan Jett. But obv I Love Rock 'n' Roll is one of those songs that you can't really argue about.

you didn't even remember to vote! I had to remind you

i think i only voted for one or two Sonic Youth tracks and not big consensus ones, thought the nominated choices were odd but then not sure they really deserve to have a big presence on the tracks poll vs. the albums poll

TOO LOW. For real.

lets compromise and not have them have a big presence on either xxpost

folks, today we have failed to honour the fire

Although another excuse to listen to it at high volume is always welcome xpost.

I suspect that I do not "get" The Butthole Surfers

jesus christ how long is this fucking song

jimi? are you listening to jimi? it's really fucking long. And great.

it's getting better, sort of glad I didn't skip it
