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

misfits not cracking the top 100 is some bullshit, guess it's time to bump that comp thread again

anyway love agenda not available in the US on spotify, here's my fave track off that album

untrue, check the playlist. two tracks unavailable, but the rest of the rec is there (hoping that I'm not being tricked by local-files availability)

My mistake. Threads like this are impossible to follow on a iPhone.

Hopefully the albums poll has as many surprises in store as its singles counterpart.

if sund4r is around there will be a recap at 101

yes! least rocking album of all time but glad it's in there even though i've never made it to the end without falling asleep.

lol

at least it's not falling asleep at a gig! I dunno how mike t-d could have done that!

i fell asleep at a ryuichi sakamoto gig one time. i was in the front row and apparently at one particularly quiet passage mr. sakamoto looked with disdain to see where the loud snoring was coming from.

I also fell asleep at a Bob Dylan gig, during an interminable jam-band version of Highway 61 Revisited.

filth is yet another swans album where the original vinyl sounds much better than any of the subsequent remasters

105 Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell 550 Points, 10 Votes

Didn't think that Group Sex would make it as high as that, nice.

you should know by now that ILX loves its circle jerks...

The Filth album cover seems so perfectly fitted to the music. Swans for me are in good-not-great territory though.

soliliquoy? rocking? jumpin jehosaphat!
eliane radigue's estrus LP yet to chart?

Once REM were let in nothing got vetoed

but it kept everyone happy including it all

Heaven and Hell is essential Sabbath, honestly I think I prefer it over Mob Rules why because Children of the Sea

love u Ronnie

Used to underrate I Against I because I was so obsessed with the self-titled album, but I relistened to it recently and it's awesome.

xp
Children Of The Sea is awesome.
I Against I is terrific too.

So carrying on with my homework assignments from this thread, who should I listen to an album from tonight - Hanoi Rocks, Wipers or Live Skull?

all 3

I vote Hanoi Rocks bc I don't know the other 2

OK will start with HR and see how I go from there.

YAY BAD BRAINS

ha was that post an intentional comment on the previous one?

take it as you will

re: Filth:

Swans’ Filth is I think a crucial key to understanding their 80s work. without hearing Filth, the Cop and Young God recs can be mistaken solely f/tedious avant-garde exercises in epater-le-bourgeois antagonism, and the Greed/Screw era recs can seem like pop-tinged episodes of rather sterile goth-industrial. the first EP and Filth, however, clearly illustrate the rock basis behind the band’s relentless focus on rhythm, repetition and punk aggression, grounding their experimentation within the context of an aggressive dialogue with rock that entails both stripping it down to its essence and amplifying its more fervid and aggressive impulses.

here are three great tracks that I think really illustrate my point:

Swans - Right Wrong: http://youtu.be/2Q_HzQSqFHA
Swans - Thank You: http://youtu.be/v5883h_fcCA
Swans - Big Strong Boss: http://youtu.be/huSRpAKnNU4

did I mention that it's aggressive? Swans driving me into one-track-mind mode.

Bad Brains was my #21. I don't think Bunnymen are forgotten. Their tour a couple years ago was sold out I think. But yeah, it was a crime that Comsat Angels & The Sound weren't at least as well known as Teardrop Explodes, Psych Furs and Bunnymen.

guess I can give up on seeing kilslug's answer the call

FUCK THE REPLACEMENTS

guess I can give up on seeing kilslug's answer the call

no way, man, it's coming right after the two Prong recs that were on my ballot!

I'm keeping hope alive, you know, in a formaldehyde jar guarded by Zoogz Rift.

wait whoa waht

OH FUCK YEAH

TAKE THAT, REPLACEMENTS

i figured that would have been top 50 for sure actually

well it should have been, obv

I'm just glad it beat Tim

also massive thumbs up to that display name

i appreciate band of susans heads up because i have always just lumped them into the late 90s three word band names with proper names in them (better than ezra, letters to cleo). srsly. it appears that they are a little different than that.

also can i veto the hanoi rocks homework assignment and push really really hard for the wipers if you haven't heard them? i found that 3 cd box set for a dollar at the salvation army by my house and bought it because why not and holy shit, they are goooooood.

xpost i try to do my best

veto fuck, can he not listen to the wipers AND hanoi rocks lol

fascist :)

i thought it would win it before the poll started.
Unlike the tracks poll where the last 2 votes swapped the top 2 places the albums winner led from the start and it wasn't The Cure. Which shocked me, but hey a poll needs shocks n surprises.

he should listen to the wipers and hanoi rocks simultaneously
