a long time ago I did blurbs for my top 10 recs, my take on reign in blood:
All the horrors of the 20th century, plus those of the world's permanently stunted adolescents, are wrapped in a compact 30 minute orgasm of blind rage.

ha! OTM.
― Hellhouse, Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:33 (thirteen years ago)
perfect summary!
― Arvo Pärt Chimp (Neil S), Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:34 (thirteen years ago)
IMO the most perfect album-as-a-unified-whole ever made. didn't even bother voting f/any of the individual tracks.

― Arvo Pärt Chimp (Neil S), Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:36 (thirteen years ago)
okay, so Sister or Atomizer at #1?
― Hellhouse, Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:36 (thirteen years ago)
Anyone care to predict the top 10 now?

props f/the semi-challopsy placement (it's a start!)
― Hellhouse, Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:38 (thirteen years ago)
After the discussion on the noms thread, I really didn't think I'd give DN its only #1 vote!
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:38 (thirteen years ago)
Oh God, it's going to be the Pixies, isn't it?
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:39 (thirteen years ago)
Boom, feels about right and will hopefully cheer up the DN moaners too.

LET THE BRUTAL RE-EVALUATION BEGIN
― Hellhouse, Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:41 (thirteen years ago)
Zoogz lurking in the shadows, eyeing the throne.
I don't hate the Pixies btw, just don't think they made the greatest heavy rock of the 80s.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:42 (thirteen years ago)
With Reign in Blood and DN gone, I really don't know what to expect.

#11 has 3 #1 votes and nobodys guessed it yet
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:43 (thirteen years ago)
I'll be stunned if Big Black tops both polls.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:43 (thirteen years ago)
janes addiction?
― DJ Mooncup (NickB), Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:44 (thirteen years ago)
Last Exit's Koln, obviously
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:44 (thirteen years ago)
wonder if general ilx interest in the poll will drop off now double nickels and daydream nation are gone? I think they were the 2 highest albums in this poll in the all in 1980s poll.
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:45 (thirteen years ago)
didn't AG hint earlier that this was not the case? or was that a feint?
― Hellhouse, Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:45 (thirteen years ago)
So still in the bag - Nothing's Shocking, Surfer Rosa, Sister, Evol, maybe Atomizer - what else is left?
― What Makes A Man Shart Fire? (Mr Andy M), Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:46 (thirteen years ago)
Oh yeah Zen Arcade still out there too.
― What Makes A Man Shart Fire? (Mr Andy M), Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:47 (thirteen years ago)
im giving no clues
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:47 (thirteen years ago)
but with daydream nation gone we wont get a mention on pitchfork or nme or other big blogs will we? the 00s electronic poll got tweeted by fact magazine and by the winner himself! lol

― Jessie Fer Ark (Mobbed Up Ping Pong Psychos), Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:52 (thirteen years ago)
After one listen, I didn't love that album as much as some people here clearly do. Maybe I need to listen more.

I'm here for the top ten! I can't imagine what the results will be this poll has been very surprising.

Very surprised that Daydream Nation didn't make the top 10. Guessing both Evol and Sister made it though.
― Internet Alan, Thursday, 4 October 2012 19:59 (thirteen years ago)
OK, if Evol is #1, ILM has my heart forever.
