95 Einsturzende Neubauten - Tanz Debil 468 Votes 6 Points, One #1

Totally voted for Veterans

okay I just to "This Corrosion", I may never advance this part of the playlist

ps: gimme the ring

That may be the only Sisters song I like but it's a total dumb classic.

glad to see the poll isn't getting any less weird in the 100s

yeah to think stirmonster was thinking of giving up hope

Sund4r have you heard the pre-First and Last and Always SoM material? A lot of full-on classics there besides "Temple of Love", like "Alice", "Heartland", "Gimme Shelter", "Floorshow", "Valentine", basically just give a listen to Some Girls Wander By Mistake which is their best overall release

I thought that Neubauten track might have scraped the 50.

Yeah, for me the Sisters got noticeably worse after they signed for WEA. In fact there's an argument to be made that if you exclude Damage Done/Home Of The Hitmen that every record in sequence isn't as good as the prior one. Adrenochrome is such a perfectly Stoogeian burst. This Corrosion is all about the Steinman.

I think they did an oscillation; initial material was amazing, slight dip on the debut LP, Floodland is a completely different type of amazing, and then Vision Thing had "Ribbons"

I consistently forget how... epic, "Epic" is

playlist-wise I'm way behind dan, was just reminded of how much I don't like kmfdm, now mistaking "it's so easy" for "sex type thing" and getting confused

Will never, ever get sick of This Ain't No Picnic.

Comment on Youtube Rush is Nickelbacks father

Limbaugh?*

I'm wondering if the youtube links should be collected in a list at the end

*vying for second place obv

the way this list could truly be the Anti-Rolling Stone Canon is if "Tom Sawyer" is #1

I thought that Neubauten track might have scraped the 50.

it was my number 1.

OTM.

88 Wipers - Youth of America 522 Points, 9 Votes One #1

Dude that we be rad actually. If TS makes top 10 I'm beamin! In fact now I wish I'd voted for it

Xp hey I voted for that! I've gotten into that album in a major way lately. When Its Over wouldve been top five had I nominated it

I also thought it was a little odd to call this an anti-RS canon.

Rolling Stone canons have always stretched the definition of rock to include any kind of pop music that has even vague associations w/rock.

I don't think this is true: Journey and Bon Jovi were about as far from the RS canon in the 80s as possible (certainly more so than Husker Du or the Replacements). Iirc, RS's 'end of the 90s' list included an 'alternative' section with hardly any albums on independent labels and a 'rock' section dominated by rootsy classic rock warhorses like the Stones or Van Morrison.

AG's poll isn't an anti-RS canon in the strictest sense, it's rooted in a different sensibility.

This is certainly OTM though.

Wipers track is great, should have prob thrown some points its way

f*ck the hate.
made me laff.

ha yeah me too.

so i am hoping (prob fruitlessly) that the foetus tracks all placing bodes well for nail and hole in the albums results. but of course, i would hope for that.

Starting to lose hope for Fugazi and any more Bad Brains. Prove me wrong please!

I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
