idk, I'd like to see that list, but I suspect it may be due to a morbid fascination w/the forlorn. other people prob. don't care.

xp

btw, do you want me to start a separate Spotify playlist f/the top 100?

OK i'll do a top 400 albums then (was gonna be 350 but the tracks polls gonna finish a few days earlier so what the hell) The full lists will be posted at the end too. Those who don't care about #400 can always start reading later if they're not bothered about missing some good stuff. The point of these polls is to introduce music so the best way is to roll out a long list. The tracks poll has been justified and a lot will say there's loads of great songs outside the top 250. Posting a big list at the end doesn't get anywhere as many people checking that stuff out.

nah the one list is fine. Quite a few seem to be enjoying it.

*waits for incoming fire*

last one for tonight then.

sund4r will post the 250-111 Recap shortly.

will try start a bit earlier tuesday. maybe about 12. Try and get down to 51 so we finish on wednesday evening not too late.

well, should be interesting regardless, if you don't drop dead from a stroke.

xxp

usually the full list of everything that was voted for gets posted after the poll's over

felt redundant to vote for big black tracks when I was already voting for atomizer

of the tracks I've placed so far, only the chrome and scratch acid tracks were from albs I also voted for

its not really any extra hassle. Just got to google album cover pics instead of search youtube. Most of the spotify links are already on the playlist. Thats one hassle less.

thx f/yr. efforts, and I'll prob. update the Spotify list tomorrow in the same way (which is to say, sporadically and generally late, but as quickly as I can w/work & whatnot).

xxp

its a pleasure. Loads have discovered some bands that they wouldn't have done with a shorter list. So that's job done. Thats much more important than the order of a top 50 to me. But those who just want that can tune in for it.

And I know those who voted for the lesser known stuff are pleased to see their efforts rewarded.

of the tracks I've placed so far, only the chrome and scratch acid tracks were from albs I also voted for

yeah, I took that approach a few times with the idea of putting as many cool artists out there as possible, but in general I felt like I had to go w/my favorite tracks even if I nominated the album.

xp

oh man i leave for a while and you people cram half the songs i voted into the sub 100 category.

also christ almighty just started listening to the spotify list and what the hell is going on with this hanoi rocks monstrosity jesus

bitter write-in because poison didnt get nommed or what aggh where is skip

serves you right for leaving!

didn't vote f/that Minutemen track, really pissed that I didn't nominate Tension.

epic was quite low?

yep

but so was a lot of stuff. You cant fit everything in.

aww man, my #1 "neon knights" is so low. i figured the only black sabbath track would've placed top 100.

This poll actually made me appreciate that Godfathers song for probably the first time ever--video turned me off the first time around.

It's a great song.

anyone got any hopes of their songs to place yet? Even forlorn hopes? Cuz you never know with an ILM poll.

uh yeah, i assume tons of songs i voted for will be in the top 100, duh

it doesnt bode well for my maiden, def leppard & metallica votes

im just over here thinking about what you people have done and sharpening knives

i actually am sharpening kitchen knives, which is incidental, but it sounded better that way so i went for it

"you people"

listening to the spotify now and i should have voted for that rites of spring song

haha and i also never knew that anythng anything song was by dramarama

feel like a total asshole for missing the vandals song on the list, i fucking love that song.

all downhill from here, I'm afraid. M-M-M-Motorin in my Bitchin Camaro (doughnuts on yr lawn)

"little man" was the only minutemen track I voted for. the frustration, helplessness, and blind rage of the shouted title still cuts through the bullshit like no other, besides maybe "paranoid time", which wasn't nommed (you fucks). their discog's an embarrassment of musical riches so I had to go with sentiment.

woulda voted for "the mob rules" in a second, or anything off side 1 of born again, not a big fan of "neon knights"

i should have voted for that rites of spring song

YES YOU SHOULD HAVE.

Seriously, it's one of the best things Guy Picciotto has done imo (and I really like Fugazi).

I actually have no idea at all what the top 25 will look like.

Update for those concerned abt my sonic youth hate - on the plus side I listened to the spotify list and realized that I hate the cult a whole lot more.

Ha, I voted for five Sonic Youth tracks and three Cult tracks. Looking at the ballot now, I'm surprised by both but especially by the Cult votes.

And no, I don't actually think that Sonic Youth made 10% of the greatest rock songs of the 80s. They were my favourite band, or close, from ages 15-23 or so, so I'm really familiar with their catalogue. When voting, it was hard to gauge how to rank e.g. really awesome songs that I'd just discovered over vs album tracks that I knew by heart because I'd listened to them so much. The former usually lost out.

I don't remember my ballot but I might have voted for these ones. I see so many songs in these bottom 100 that I thought were a sure lock for the top 50 that now I have no honest idea what the actual top 100 will look like.

I'm predicting "You Made Me Realise" will make the top 25. I'm dreading the possibility that New Order album tracks will.

Also Sonic Youth. Lots and lots of Sonic Youth.

if "Denial" places high, that will be fine with me

I didn't vote for any New Order. Didn't seem right somehow.

thanks sund4r for the recap.

definitely too low, that one
