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

Definitely my fave album by them.

"Read it in Books" is a Teardrop Explodes cover isn't it?

Always found that a strange cover

Two of the few good performances at the last Pitchfork I attended a few years ago was The Jesus Lizard and Mission of Burma doing the entire Vs. album. Awesome.

what's the story morning glory? - ag

had no idea the jesus lizard knew any mission of burma songs

^Meat Puppets used to be one of my 'eh, what's the big deal with these guys?' bands but they've crept up on me over time. I go back and forth over which I prefer between Up On The Sun & II though - UOTS prob has the better songs and better playing overall but I love the guitar sound they had on II.

listening to songs the lord taught us, so weird that lux is gone

guess I know what I'll be listening to on the ride home

Brilliant record.

I was one of the number ones, a++++ to whoever the other one was.

i think you can guess

the subtitle of this poll should be "sucking foetus off for weeks"

haha some dude, I almost spat my coffee

i had nail lower than i should have had it. still hoping hole will show up.

82 This Heat - Deceit 635 Points, 11 Votes
http://zdenek.konopasek.net/img/covers/this-heat-deceit.jpg

My War and Damaged are definitely in, but I'm on the fence about Loose Nut. I don't see it being this high, but it's hard to imagine it missing the cut entirely. Cloud One is also a bit of a wild card considering the drubbing Live Skull has received.

ok last one for tonight coming up

Hellhouse rides again. Black Flag bombed after My War. Without a doubt.

Same with the 'Pups. The first three (including s/t) sublime. Thereafter a decline.

Never really listened to any Meat Puppets or Missions of Burma.

I have and haven't listened to Killing Joke or This Heat for ages.

I can see myself having an 80's splurge on the back of this poll.

in my head is weird & great

And thats it for today folks

Nooooooooo way way way too low

love the this heat alb, late cut from my ballot

my favorite track, "makeshift swahili"

http://youtu.be/lzZMhAM2SqU

I need to give In my head another go. They really did weird out on that one?
Originally bought on cassette
Still have it somewhere. Or was it chewed?
I have something to do this weekend now.
Search In my Head
Thanks Edward III.

yeah, In My Head was a late-inning rally. title track is classic IMO.

the only other oddball rec on my list that might place is Cop, but I'm weighing whether its reputation is good enough to compensate f/its distinction as the noisiest (ie: most unpleasant) Swans rec.

i'd guess that as filth made it, cop will be in there (in the 70s?). i think it sounds very pleasant; 'why hide' is almost a lullaby.

Will start around 1-2pm I think.
Anyone late to the poll or catching up can still talk about the albums already in the 400-81.

not much to talk about in the last 320 albums imo

nail has one of the greatest production jobs of the 80s. wish he had done an entire album of "pigdom come" themes.

I used to spend summers with my grandparents in erie PA, all my friends there were metalheads who hung out drinking by the railroad tracks. they thought I listened to a bunch of punk rock bullshit, and one of the only things that was a hit w/ that crowd, inexplicably, was "the throne of agony".

I'm pretty sure I'm going to see most of the remainder of my ballot, save 2 or 3

kilslug ;_;

don't get me wrong, I love it, but it's not exactly a heart-warming and beloved chestnut. having read quite a few Swans reviews over the years, I think it's safe to say that it's their most loathed rec (save for perhaps The Burning World, which is obv loathed f/v. different reasons). I think Cop will make the cut, but when I started listening to it many years ago, very few people liked it and a lot of people I played it for hated it, and that impression is tough to shake.

i guess we're not gonna get any Minutemen LPs besides Double Nickels, huh?

No Means No are one of the most mind-blowing 60 plus/70 somethings I have ever seen.

Inspirational

it's a different world now dude

one where sunn 0))) sell out big clubs and doom is a major genre, not just an atmosphere in yr apartment

xp to hellhouse
