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

aw shoot pink slips is 70's dang!

There's some great pwopah metal for me to follow up on this list. Thanks

Cock Sparrer - Shock Troops ? Number 3

late vote for Lawnmower Deth

Cloud One a lock.

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

Tom Troccolli's Dog explodes at 5

this poll is giving me a headache, in a good way

Very surprised that Daydream Nation didn't make the top 10. Guessing both Evol and Sister made it though.

OK, if Evol is #1, ILM has my heart forever.

YESSSSS (fuck yeah)

Awesome album

coool

my #6

It's funny: these polls are the most I've ever felt in tune with general ILM taste.

wouldn't say this poll represents general ILM taste but I know what you mean

No, I get that but even a subset of ILM

I'll de-lurk to say this poll has been extremely awesome and damn all this metal I've never listened to before!

i realise this adds nothing to the thread (which is a year killer AG bravo sir), but i have never even heard of saint vitus.

thanks guys

Saint Vitus were an SST band. Wino joined on the Born Too Late album. He just rejoined them a few years ago and they released a really really good album this year.

Woooo, had forgotten this one was still out there.

All SST-related top 10 maybe?
Zoogz?

Amazing, amazing record; listened to it for the first time in ages a few weeks ago.

I've never gotten st vitus, and not for lack of trying. heard 'em back then, and as their influence grew in later years kept checking in to see what I'd missed. also saw 'em on that reunion tour naomi peterson (RIP) put together back in '93. just never clicked.

All SST-related top 10 maybe?

Loose Nut, astoundingly surmounting the handicap of not being nominated.

atomizer was not on SST

I'm embarrassed to say that You're Living... is something else I only first listened to after voting closed. Really love it though.

Phew

"You're Living ..." is the only Dinosaur Jr. I find essential, as much as I like some of the rest of it. Mascis's solos sound so much more vital to me in the context of these songs, for some reason. Just explosions of feeling and righteousness. On other albums the songs seem more like vehicles for the solos, on "Living ..." they are woven into the journey. I will never tire of
"The Lung" no matter how many times I hear it.

There isn't a single bad song on any of the first three records in the top ten so far... Damn!

St Vitus was Wino's band before The Obsessed. Or something like that?

I'm listening to You're Living All Over Me for the first time. It's fucking great.

Appetite For Destruction was my #1, sad to see it outside the top 10.

I have this mental block where I can't associate any of the songs with their titles on you're living all over me. besides the opener, closer, and "the lung", every time I listen to it is like the first time.

That recent remaster of 'You're Living . .' was a revelation. The CD I grew up with sounded murky as hell and didn't do the album any favours. Still it was the copy I fell in love with.

I never get sick of YLAOM or Bug either, for that matter.

I've got an original vinyl pressing, it always sounded kind of murky until that remaster

my copies of the first two records say DINOSAUR on them

oh hello

i had the shitty sst cassette, it was the perfect medium for it i think xxxp

This MTV live version of Raisins is awesome. My favourite song on the album.

I have it on vinyl when the were a mere Dinosaur . I am an old past it aunt. I mentioned up thread, that it was - still is - their best. It was a groundbreaking mesh at the time- it really was.
As grandavis says, the solos actually contributed to the songs and haven't done since. In my opinion.
The latest, for example is widdle , after upper fret wiggle. Boring.

I felt bad for not voting for this so it's nice to see it so high (re Jane's).

see I'm gonna click on that link and "raisans" is gonna play and I'm gonna say, "oh yeah that song"

until then I have no idea what I'm gonna get

xps

(Tbch, though, I haven't actually put it on in ages.)
xpost to self

Fuck yeah on 'Nothing's Shocking' btw. Another album that recieved a recent remaster that polished it for the better. Sounded great to begin with though I admit.
