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

yeah def check out black dots by bad brains, it's stuff from '79 that wasn't released until '96, very stripped down recording so you can really hear what's going on.

and if by messy you meant the songwriting doesn't coalesce into cohesiveness, then the first 5 songs on the s/t should disavow you of that notion

xp

I had begun to think this (Asbestos Lead Asbestos) would be even higher. I agonised long and hard about making this my #1 and in the end it only just missed out, but LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. The Loop/World Dom/Godflesh tour really was a thing of wonder.

well actually I will say "Asbestos Lead Asbestos" is great

now back to Analog Pussy

unlike last nights sonic youth experience there is no need for anyone to try and get me to understand the appeal of the cult because it is never ever ever going to happen, because that lead singer never shuts up and he is 1000% awful

btw I just discovered an early 00s goa trance band named Analog Pussy so I may not be around this thread that much today

This is destined to make one of the meta-threads here.

bad jjj

they should remix lana del rey

really everything you actually want to get of The Cult can be satisfied by "Rain", there's no real need to listen to anything else they did aside from maybe poking around Southern Death Cult to satisfy goth curiosity

jjj sounds vaguely like The Lex there.

is rain an instrumental?

I know this observation is so ancient as to be useless but the version of envoye by young gods in the spotify playlist is not any version of the song I've ever heard and is not to be mistaken for the buttshaking awesomeness of what me and I'm sure everybody else voted for

http://youtu.be/vdhHMXTGCC8

Actually Dan I kind of disagree. The Death Cult ep is probably all you need, unless you want to listen to SDC.

if one of your too high moments was the cult song i have a high five hanging right over here for you
*furtively completes the high five, goes back to keeping it positive*

28 AC/DC - Back in Black 818 Points, 14 Votes One# 1

is rain an instrumental?

you should listen to it and find out!

Actually Dan I kind of disagree. The Death Cult ep is probably all you need, unless you want to listen to SDC.

that is certainly a legitimate argument; I think "Rain" is the point where Cult glossiness and SDC/DC gothiness balance each other best and as such scratches all the itches I might have for them in one handy package

yes! i knew asbestos had some ILM love but the further this went on the more i thought it might not place.

this actually reminds me, did we nominate Gene Loves Jezebel for this

back in black permanently ruined for me by the fact that a certain former ilxor used to plug $5 into the jukebox at the red dragon and play it like 28 times in a row whenever he got to a certain point of drunk.

haha that is classic

27 Spacemen 3 - Revolution 828 Points, 15 Votes
http://youtu.be/Xg5D-CqDoI8

that is not a critique of the song really, more an indictment of our lifestyle choices i guess

awesome, my least favorite spacemen 3 song. and world domination enterprises is some poncey shite.

SUGGEST BAN

I am listening to "Jesus Shootin' Heroin" right now and holy shit do I hate The Flaming Lips

3 minutes of meandering whiny sludge leading to the most unconvincing climax ever, then an unconvincing guitar solo followed by more whining

fuck this

ok "the rain" is also incredibly terrible. this is not a band for me.

haha I can't believe you listened to "Rain"

SUCCESS

"jesus shooting heroin" is not the track I would've chosen from that album

dan do you like the replacements? if so "everythings exploding" might be a way in for the flaming lips.

I voted for Losing Touch With My Mind but surprised to see any of the Spacemen 3 noms getting this high.

I fucking despise The Replacements aside from "Within Your Reach"

The Replacements: Classic or Dud?

i dig them, but you def have to be choosy because theres a lot of kitchen sink missteps between moments of greatness

xpost haha well then. replacements lost me after tim, so i get it

here are some better flaming lips tracks from hear it is, tho tbh I would rate this album as just OK and the band as eh on the whole

unplugged (lol @ this video): http://youtu.be/V1gjXwPRHK8

she is death: http://youtu.be/TdaECuatLeY

YES to pay to cum

listening to that atm and realizing that i should clarify my comment abt messiness wrt the bad brains - the thing thats thrilling (yes i really mean that!) abt the bad brains is that they always sound like they are on the edge of total trainwreck. its one of the few bands from the hardcore scene where you can really tell that they are playing at the very limit of their considerable abilities all the fucking time, as opposed to just claiming to do so.

At this point songs you expected to make it might not, some you didn't expect might still. So make yer predictions as we are about to enter the top #25

I do not get "edge of a trainwreck" vibes from Bad Brains at all really; I get "massively aggressive while not forgetting about tunes"

PAY TO CUM YES YES YES.

This tune is distilled velocity.

YES to pay to cum

PAY TO CUM YES YES YES.

prefer the single version of "pay to cum" but cannot find it on youtube

http://open.spotify.com/track/6zuYtRl4jTX9kObgsbZBBc

Pay to Cum is great but I love Banned in DC more tbh. Probably shoulda said something when that placed

the only single version of "pay to cum" I can find on youtube sounds like the uploader held a mic to his stereo speaker to record it

looooooooooool

every song from here on out is gonna be "wait how the fuck is this better than 'Back In Black'" for me

brian johnson eh

bon scott 4eva

I remember being appreciative but lukewarm on Joy Division until I heard "Dead Souls", which really made everything else they did click into place for me; such a great, great song

I would not have placed it any higher than this, though
