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

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.

http://youtu.be/tTjKWq9Gges

thanks sund4r for the recap.

definitely too low, that one

I think we're gonna be seeing that a lot from now on

eh once we get into the top 100 i'll more likely shrug "eh, at least in the top 100"

FAR TOO LOW

especially as some people think their top 50 should be the top 50.

lol xp there

aww no cries of too low

delighted "ever" made it in there. thought it was sure to be way back in the 400s.

Some stuff you might like placed late last night stirmonster

108 Big Black - Fists of Love 415 Points, 9 Votes
http://youtu.be/O6JzT0LulvE

xp that's a good 'un, Generic Flipper is a great album, hoping that places high in the albums poll.

yes, shriekback, the cramps and young gods. all too low :) xp

and, if there's ever a best handclaps poll, surely "ever" would be a shoo-in for the top ten?

great to see Living Colour and Flipper here.

is Sex Bomb considered "rock" enough for this poll? if so, it should be top 10!

oh yes, it was nominated...

107 Godflesh - Like Rats 419 Points, 8 Votes
http://open.spotify.com/track/5qmMRer2ycTr84oC4mtCBr
http://youtu.be/XypoykrU3rQ

I didn't say too low because it surely means Sex Bomb is safely in the 100. Like Rats is far too low though, as is Fists Of Love.

106 The Cult - Firewoman 420 Points, 9 Votes
