*bounces*

I WAS TALKING

ms bogan you notice one of those bands haven't placed at all yet.

oh FUCK YES re: Shriekback

such a badass song

Re: What's Going On

low f/Zen Arcade, but it's also one of their noisiest (in a great way), so 129 makes sense.

haha dans catching up

i think what the top of the poll looks like is wholly dependant on how many songs were nominated from a given act and how strong the consensus is around one or two of them. it's all kind of a random crapshoot given the format.

My takeaway from the whole thing about the NWA tune is that votes for hip-hop wouldn't be counted, but it seems now this was a misinterpretation. Tbh even if I'd thought they would be counted I probably wouldn't have gone with the 2 Run-DMC tracks, they're good but not great imo.

I might have considered She Watched Channel Zero for my ballot though (and yeah I know it samples Slayer...).

xxpost Kilty MacFuck THAT'S WHAT i'M SAYING. None of those bands have placed yet bc they're all in the top 50/top 10

I did actually buy a Husker Du album: Candy Apple Grey. Never played it much, though; I bought the debut from Mantronix on the same day, and that kinda won. Fell hard for the first two Sugar albums, but that was still six years down the line.

but swans have placed. so you're wrong

128 Metallica - Welcome Home (Sanitarium) 370 Points 8 Votes
http://youtu.be/V6Dfo4zDduI

Anyone else nostalgic for when Metallica were an awesome band?

*raises hand*

But I've seen them live a couple of times in the last 5 years and they still play the hell out of their old stuff.

I saw them in 1996 at the Barras (capacity 1900) awesome show. They only did like 2songs from load. the rest of the show was half of black album then all the old classics you would want to hear.

Welcome Home is way too subdued f/speed metal IMO. MOP could've been a truly sick masterpiece if all the fat had been cut and the song lengths halved. not a popular opinion, granted.

I mean, I love Disposable Heroes, but eight fucking minutes?

127 Hüsker Dü - Real World 372 Points, 6 Votes

vote splitting in effect here

Now way the fat is the best part! I love those long Puppets and Justice tracks

well they were great on puppets

126 The Jesus and Mary Chain - Taste the Floor 373 Votes, 6 Points

and all the fish get drowned..

yeah, but the padding consists of all the hammy metal segments. I've basically been ruined by Reign in Blood, tbh.

xxxp

C'mon Huskers yup. One of Mould's great chorused riffs .Norton's melodic bass and Grant shoring it up and powering it home wonderfully with some sweet backing vocals.
Fuck all you anarchist 'punks'

did you get my email?

Was all ready to get mad but then remembered that I actually like this one and that by JAMC standards it gets somewhat close to rocking.

Never Understand rocks IMO, but I didn't vote f/it.

xpost Not a touch on Real World though obv.

I prob would have voted for the JAMC version of Vegetable Man if it had been nominated.

Taste The Floor is sexy as hell

Real World's lyrics are fucked up

If people are gonna be around I'll take us down past 121 but no point if noones gonna see it

Yeah I'm shall we say 'ambivalent' about those HD lyrics.

xpost I can prob be about for another half an hour or so but then I really need to be sleeping.

Oh nice.

a top 20 tune f/me, but surprisingly low. one of the few tracks I voted for that I thought I'd see in the top 100.

OK will try take it down to 111 tonight

124 Pixies - Bone Machine 376 Points, 7 Votes

some crazy low placings today

Nah that feels about right.

to think ppl thought husker du and the pixies would dominate the top 20

Slighty surprised that nothing from Big Black has shown up yet.

heheheh

123 Big Black - Jordan, Minnesota 380 6 Votes
http://youtu.be/GuCs1aKzWiQ

Cant believe this missed the top 50

Lol speak of the devil.

I always thought the song was more infamous than popular. I voted f/three BB tunes, but that wasn't one of them.

There wasn't a lot nominated was there?

Dont even think they got spoken about on the thread when i tried to bring them up.

Jordan always left me a bit cold. Albini's trying so damn hard to blow the listener away, but the execution never matches the concept. I love Atomizer, but feel surprising meh about Jordan.
