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

some dude, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:41 (thirteen years ago)

brian johnson eh

bon scott 4eva

vincent black shadow giallo (Edward III), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:42 (thirteen years ago)

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

cake-like Lady Gaga (DJP), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:42 (thirteen years ago)

xpost Yeah Back in Black feels like a top 10 tune to me. But I didn't rank my ballot so...

This Is Nilbog, We Do What We Like (Mr Andy M), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:43 (thirteen years ago)

speaking of Bon Scott stand-ins, i'm now sad that Accept's "Balls To The Wall" didn't make the top 250

some dude, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:45 (thirteen years ago)

oh well not every song, even ones you expect to, will make it

Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:45 (thirteen years ago)

you certainly tried to fit them all!

some dude, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:46 (thirteen years ago)

has there been an 80s metal tracks poll? I could def stuff a ballot w/ accept and krokus and kick axe tracks

vincent black shadow giallo (Edward III), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:47 (thirteen years ago)

There was one a few years ago. Rainbow won it

Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:48 (thirteen years ago)

oh wait, no not an 80s one

stirmonster, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:50 (thirteen years ago)

at least I hope it's yr hands

vincent black shadow giallo (Edward III), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:50 (thirteen years ago)

Man I hope my top 3 makes it!

did drake invent yolo (Drugs A. Money), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:51 (thirteen years ago)

"Back In Black" really should have been higher. To me it's always seemed like the definitive "hard rock" song. My #1.

gesange der yuengling (crüt), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:52 (thirteen years ago)

high fives, crut

Algeddie Trunkeeper (some dude), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:53 (thirteen years ago)

jjjusten did said ilxor play chrono trigger for over an hour?

gesange der yuengling (crüt), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:54 (thirteen years ago)

surprised "inhuman" ended up so high but not sorry to see it

vincent black shadow giallo (Edward III), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:54 (thirteen years ago)

so is the rest of the list just MBV pixies and SY tracks?

vincent black shadow giallo (Edward III), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:55 (thirteen years ago)

jjjusten did said ilxor play chrono trigger for over an hour?

the lols you have given me just now

btw re: "Last Caress" by The Misfits, was there a big skate punk band who covered this? I know the song but never knew it as a Misfits song; I think I thought it was Charged GBH but that appears to be wrong too

cake-like Lady Gaga (DJP), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:56 (thirteen years ago)

I finally figured out--the "best rock songs of the 1980s" and "Sonic Youth album tracks" poll results are being rolled out in alternating order...

theStalePrince, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:56 (thirteen years ago)

Dear crut its not a metal poll or a heavy rock poll tbf

xp metallica covered it, dan

Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:57 (thirteen years ago)

that may be so but "Back In Black" rocks harder than anything so it is still my #1

gesange der yuengling (crüt), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:59 (thirteen years ago)

anything except "Illegal Bodies" obv

gesange der yuengling (crüt), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:59 (thirteen years ago)

I don't think the Metallica version is the one I'm thinking of...

Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:00 (thirteen years ago)

i don't really get ac/dc. ILM has always been way into them as far as i can remember.

billstevejim, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:00 (thirteen years ago)

Hopes fading for Holiday In Cambodia and pretty much gone for Kerosene. Ace of Spades is going to make it though right? Right?

This Is Nilbog, We Do What We Like (Mr Andy M), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:00 (thirteen years ago)

i think "holiday in cambodia" is still feasible.

billstevejim, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:01 (thirteen years ago)

Ace of Spades is going to make it though right?

like duh!

gesange der yuengling (crüt), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:01 (thirteen years ago)

one of them is definitely there, yeah.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:02 (thirteen years ago)

^^^ My single Nirvana pick. Does it feel too high now? Maybe, but still a favorite riff. Bleach as a whole rocks very hard, never forget that.

This Is Nilbog, We Do What We Like (Mr Andy M), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:02 (thirteen years ago)

kerosene placing seems unlikely now although i'm surprised it didn't place at all. ace of spades is one of my very few contenders still with a chance. xp

stirmonster, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:02 (thirteen years ago)

NOFX also covered Last Caress.

Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:02 (thirteen years ago)

here dan, watch my disinterest in metallica flip to disgust

http://youtu.be/ttPGXIwrI2k

vincent black shadow giallo (Edward III), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:02 (thirteen years ago)

Bleach is very underrated

Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:03 (thirteen years ago)

Pretty psyched that "School" placed so high. you go girlfriend.

billstevejim, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:03 (thirteen years ago)

wasn't gonna bring it up but might as well say that "Ace of Spades" has been my strongest prediction for #1

Algeddie Trunkeeper (some dude), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:03 (thirteen years ago)

if "Kerosene" doesn't actually make this list I will disown all of you

cake-like Lady Gaga (DJP), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:04 (thirteen years ago)

never have i been more amused by the presence of the phrase "you go girlfriend" than in this thread

Algeddie Trunkeeper (some dude), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:04 (thirteen years ago)

I just wanna say thank you for getting me to listen to "In 'n Out of Grace" again, man it had been too long since I heard that song. It rules so much.

Fun rundown, have listened to a bunch and am having a much better day at work thanks to it.

Never heard that World Domination Enterprises song "Asbestos Lead Asbestos" before. Cool song, and not to add more Sonic Youth to this thread, but it sure shares some strong DNA with "Making The Nature Scene".

grandavis, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:05 (thirteen years ago)

I think Kerosene will make it. Also Negative Creep.

gesange der yuengling (crüt), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:05 (thirteen years ago)

now now grandavis there's no need to troll me

vincent black shadow giallo (Edward III), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:06 (thirteen years ago)

Delighted this next one placed so high.

BUTT

billstevejim, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:07 (thirteen years ago)

but it sure shares some strong DNA with "Making The Nature Scene". xp

i would bet a vital body organ that it shares zero DNA with making the nature scene.

BUTTHOLES!
