The ILM 1980s Anti-Rolling Stone Canon (FREE PUSSY RIOT) Rock Poll Results - ALBUMS! Top 20! ends today

and I fucking love the Bad Seeds in that era

still kinda violent and almost explosive and the quiet stuff they did was always menacing even when it was tender

and the fucking CARNY

I mean

and Sad Waters kills me

and stranger than kindness. my very favourite non cave penned bad seeds song.

yeeees. so haunting

Def planning to check out the Royal Trux and Firehose albums.

they're both ace. Royal Trux is them in their fucked up, lo fi noise mode.

Nice. Feel like a lot of things from this list I would have ended up getting into if I hadn't drifted into dancey stuff when I did. Think at some point I just got sick of the sound of guitars and needed a break (perhaps some others on here can relate?).

Ragin', Full-On is one of the most classic things ever.

erm.. wrong royal trux cover i think

yeah should be

The Sounds' From The Lions Mouth was my #16. I closely associate them with Comsat Angels as underrated post-punk bands, both reissued by Renascent a decade ago. Highly recommend them.

Your Funeral is my favorite Nick Cave album that's not The Birthday Party. Remember his scene in the movie Wings Of Desire?

I saw that misplaced apostrophe just as I clicked submit, arg.

didnt vote for it, but i am surprised ragin' full on is that low

Dustbowl is all time for me, but I'm probably the highest placed voter. I'm guessing that means LP will show up soon, as I'd guess it will have pretty much the same voters.

Talk Talk Talk is SO FUCKING GOOD

voted for LP, not dustbowl, that record was ruined by albini's engineering job imo

still, surprised to see HoD place this high

ok voted for the last two, two fantastic punk/new wave records

Talk Talk Talk was like #12 I think

what he said.

"For Want of" was the only thing that ever really stuck with me from that Rites of Spring album but maybe I should listen to it again.

I didn't listen to spiderland for a long time cause after hearing tweez I wrote off slint as a sub-bastro xerox of chi-town post-rock

Do you guys want this spun out to thurs or friday?

I'll be travelling on Wed to Oakland for a wedding. I'll be sure to check the results and maybe it'll have a couple things for me to look for at Amoeba and Rasputin!

ha yeah, i had zero expectations for spiderland after having bought tweez on squirrel bait grounds. think my reaction to tweez was along the lines of 'these guys are no bitch magnet'

get the feeling this one sneaked in and it doesn't rock much. does it?

-AG

go to 100 today and wrap it tomorrow! (this is ridiculous, so my 2nd choice is Fri - I can only vote in accordance w/my sched!)

The earlier EP rocks pretty hard IMO. The versions on the album not so much.

aw I missed the placement of Freaky Styley

if RHCP had completely disbanded after Uplift Mofo Party Plan they would have a much much better rep

lol I missed UMPP too

can we go back to 1987 when the Red Hots were fantastic

so far this is a completely ridiculous poll that i give my full support to, if only because it's making me go back and finally rip certain CDs to my hard drive, after letting them languish in storage for god knows how long.
