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.

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

87 Misfits - Last Caress 523 Points, 11 Votes
http://open.spotify.com/track/0S8LgLoseDB6W2HWd1ym6P
http://youtu.be/F39UP1mjAnc

that youtube is a thing of beauty

That Nickelback line is just dumb by the way. The only connection is that Rush and Nickelback are both popular Canadian bands.

but of course, i we would hope for that.

corrected.

YES to Last Caress. Really sums up that weirdly heroic vibe that so much Misfits material had.

idk why i never listened to the wipers before

I know right?

re: Tanz Debil

I nominated this track and had it in my top ten, and I'm happy to see it place. out of all the aesthetic forms competing f/the term "industrial", I consider Tanz Debil to be almost an ideal archetype that never really took root. a stellar example of punishing clang fed by sleepless machinic hate, and an ideosyncratic peak f/Neubauten. 

remember in chatz kjb said they were awful?
xp

where is kevin

86 Metallica - For Whom The Bell Tolls 525 Points, 11 Votes
http://youtu.be/17HRV8k1YMw

too low

I do not remember that but it's not true. I just got done listening to "When It's Over" again; man do I love my angular noodly punk epics...

trying to skip things on the playlist I've heard before in order to speed my progress but then something like "rock box" or "dark entries" comes on and idk just go on w/o me

85 Nirvana - About A Girl 526 Points, 9 Votes
http://open.spotify.com/track/0zeqKbySjKbfW5jyl3PMsW
http://youtu.be/JpMt_YqVbhw

lol "About A Girl" above "For Whom The Bell Tolls" is absurd

speaking of archetypes, "goo goo muck" is like the platonic ideal of a cramps song, kind of a bummer that it placed outside the top 100

ugh, idiosyncratic, fuck this phone posting shit.

xxxxp

I've gone back to Joni Mitchell. I'll get caught up with this list.

(Plus, I can't do Spotify so I'm listening to Youtubes, which is more labour-intensive.)

if every metallica and nirvana album got packed on a shiny spaceship and blown into space, well, might as well take all these megadeath and pearl jam records while you're at it

Not ashamed to say I love About A Girl (didn't vote for it though).

I still like AAG though Kurt wrote better pop songs during this time (Been a Son, Sliver, Sappy)

It must have just missed my top 50 but I've always liked it too.
