that is a ballot I can get down with

ha brings a tear to my eye to see a noted bon scott loyalist give it up for back in black

I don't know if I can defend voting for the Cult three times without giving a vote to AC/DC or Motorhead tbh.

Wait, did I not even vote for Def Leppard? WTF?

i love that the Cult got proper respect though!

i didn't realize until making it that the top 3 songs are all mutt lange productions and that three other songs have the word "she" in the title

half of back in black is godly, half is bleh, and the only song i truly love after that album is the "baba o'riley" disco stomp that they did twice ("who made who"/"thunderstruck")

yeah post-BIB is spotty for sure but some people will even try to deny BIB

so many ballots here OTM, WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG

thanks AG, seandalai, v. cool poll.

yes, thank you guys

yeah this was awesome, and i know how much work goes into running these things, so gold stars for both of you

yeah thank you guys! this was fun!

thanks!

This is possibly my most hive mind ballot ever, but that's probably because I liked contemporary popular music more in the 80s than I have since (and even if most of it hasn't worn than well for me, some of it has stuck).

Also it may have helped that I didn't make any nominations (but there have been EOY polls in which, had I not made any nominations, I basically wouldn't have voted for anything).

I'm glad you enjoyed the poll.

i love that the Cult got proper respect though!

So weird, considering that I've never bought a Cult album, while I own copies of Pyromania and Hysteria. I made my ballots pretty quickly tbh.

Definitely: thanks to AG and seandalai!

fwiw this is not my actual ballot but I voted for some of these and I would like to formally e-kiss everyone who voted for a song on this list

esp. "Night Shift"

shame on you all for not voting for "The Choke" tho

also "**** (Jungle Law)" which is secretly one of the best Love and Rockets songs ever, and actually led to their most popular album being a big disappointment to me because I felt like it didn't live up to the amazing opener

Express is prob my fave L&R album. I love how Vamos by Pixies is basically a shameless ripoff of Yin and Yang and the Flowerpot Man.

i want to see photos of 80s goth dan

there aren't any really, I didn't look like a goth

rivethead dan then

VegGrrl, do you know "Innocence" by Harlequin? You might like it.

Had to step out so missed the finale but WOW awesome results! You guys really honored the fire.

Great work AG and Seandalai, absolutely killer rollout.

yeah big props to AG and seandalai for running this circus, the 250 countdown was of course opposed, decried as idiocy, and then embraced as a stroke of genius

I wish I could say the poll turned me on to some stuff but I think this decade is too tapped out for me

Thanks AG and seandalai, and I'm sorry I'm already complaining about the 400 album rollout. This was fun. I'd still rather listen to Grupo Niche than most of these songs though, most of the time.

sonic youth update - since i am not driving out to get the cd tonight, i am making up for it by listening to stuff on spotify, and my memory was correct, death valley '69 is really really fucking awesome.
