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

Bet that would never get in rolling stone

I think his mission was to convert all of Morrissey's vegetarians back onto steak. It was a very controversial name at the time, a lot of protesters at his gigs in England. Great album. Would the name be a problem now ?

I would bet it would.

Been away for a few days and the first thing I see scrolling down is the recap of the OTHER 80s poll, nearly shit a Rubik's Cube.

horse rotorvator = my no. 1.

No doubt most of ilx would prefer the other poll but I thought it was worth reminding those in this thread of it, see how much contrast there is.

hi

oh hi

sigh

no top 50 for Def Leppard then

oh well

THIS ALBUM STILL RULES I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY ILM

Someone I went to high school with sang backing vocals on a Def Leppard song. She was extremely hot.

which song?

never would've guessed the Coil, Redd Kross or Rapeman (an Albini joint, but a lesser effort that I didn't think had a strong following). what's the deal w/Coil, aside from my vague associations w/Cabaret Voltaire and Controlled Bleeding? started listening to Scatology last night; some cool guitar, but I didn't delve very far into it.

somewhat surprised at Hysteria being this low

I'm here! Hysteria placed a bit lower than I thought it would but to ease your pain VG, there's still Appetite for Destruction to looks forward to!

what's the deal w/Coil

they are possibly the best thing to ever come out of england.

wait, we don't have any Poison albums left do we

Back In Black needs to be wayyy higher, wtf

which song?

Sorry, I have no idea. A mutual friend thought her vocals were just included as a joke (because apparently pretty bad), so that might be a clue. I don't know Def Leppard.

and horse rotorvator is of course the best 1980s Anti-Rolling Stone Canon (FREE PUSSY RIOT) Rock record. xp

I don't think I voted Back In Black as high as I voted for individual tracks off that album iirc

well, I'm glad we cleared that up.

xp to stirmonster

I'm off to catch a flight, have fun. I posted the thread on my site, so you may have extra lurkers at least.

Actually that reminds me, I was in the Bay Area just over a year ago when the Jazz poll was finishing up. Ended buying a ton of jazz at Amoeba and Rasputin!

neds recent article for tQ re def lep actually made me have a desire to hear the album ..

something i would never have thought possible.

tQ?

Apparently, I stored Hysteria at my parents'! Don't know what I was thinking.

tQ = The Quietus

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

Hysteria felt spacey and otherworldly when I was a kid, right from the bizarre cover art and the weird titles they gave themselves ("Wing Commander" etc) to the insane high-tech production, the surreal breakdowns, the backing vocals that were so glossed-out they were almost bodiless.

If I listen now, I won't get anything done for the next hour.

ha actually i just wasn't sure which foetus album you would put at number one.

it was the 1st foetus album i got, and virtually listened to nothing else for 6 months .. so not that hard a choice to be honest.

Here's Ned's Def Lep/Hysteria piece if anyone's interested - it's pretty good!

http://thequietus.com/articles/09833-def-leppard-hysteria

I started with Sink, which I loved, but yeah when I found a used cassette of Nail I wore that thing out.

Funny that the vegemite grrrl calls anyone that hates manowar/king diamond/dio/priest/power metal 'false metal' but defends Hysteria!
Hysteria is good but is not their best album.

What would you pick? On Through the Night?

Pyromania is my favorite personally

I don't think I've ever gone as far as defending Hysteria in a metal context --- but for me it's an almost perfect album and a really really good crystallization of everything that Def Leppard were really good at. Fun, pop, sly but not dirty... as much trad metal as I love, I also love me a finely crafted pop song and Hysteria's full of them.

I would pick Pyromania ahead of Hysteria I think, but hey I love those first 4 albums

I'm really into albums that work as a whole entity, and not just a collection of songs. Hysteria's *crafted* really well - I can't listen to a single track off that album without immediately hearing the next track in my head or wanting to hear the whole album.

in fact, I'm listening to Hysteria right now :D

^^^ my favorite X album imo

except for maybe live at the Whiskey A GoGo

I like some of Billy Zoom's riffs but otherwise, I can't get into this band at all.

I actually prefer Wild Gift. I gave the #1 vote to Los Angeles by accident. If I had been paying more attention I would have had Los Angeles as #2 and Wild Gift as #1. (Sorry, X has gradually emerged as pretty much my favorite 80s rock band.)
