set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 4 October 2012 20:51 (thirteen years ago)

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

DJ Mooncup (NickB), Thursday, 4 October 2012 20:52 (thirteen years ago)

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.

Jessie Fer Ark (Mobbed Up Ping Pong Psychos), Thursday, 4 October 2012 20:52 (thirteen years ago)

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

EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 4 October 2012 20:53 (thirteen years ago)

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

space dokken (Edward III), Thursday, 4 October 2012 20:54 (thirteen years ago)

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

EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 4 October 2012 20:54 (thirteen years ago)

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.

Internet Alan, Thursday, 4 October 2012 20:54 (thirteen years ago)

this will be the boob section of the rundown then

DJ Mooncup (NickB), Thursday, 4 October 2012 20:56 (thirteen years ago)

would be kind of cool if damaged won this

space dokken (Edward III), Thursday, 4 October 2012 20:57 (thirteen years ago)

should I listen to that jane's addiction record? I don't think I should

space dokken (Edward III), Thursday, 4 October 2012 20:57 (thirteen years ago)

minuteflag ftw

DJ Mooncup (NickB), Thursday, 4 October 2012 20:57 (thirteen years ago)

it's weird the degree to which Jane's Addiction weren't part of my 80s. it's as though they didn't exist. everyone can prob. say the same about any number of bands in this poll.

Hellhouse, Thursday, 4 October 2012 20:58 (thirteen years ago)

In the spirit of not being a whiney git, I will say that I think Pigs In Zen is a good song.

Sock Puppets II (Mr Andy M), Thursday, 4 October 2012 20:59 (thirteen years ago)

its a brilliant album

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 4 October 2012 20:59 (thirteen years ago)

Murph is an under-rated drummer IMO. He kills it on You're Living...

Arvo Pärt Chimp (Neil S), Thursday, 4 October 2012 20:59 (thirteen years ago)

eiii you should totally listen to Nothing's Shocking! it's great!

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:00 (thirteen years ago)

Man, I hope Damaged doesn't win.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:00 (thirteen years ago)

Pigs in Zen eerily foreshadows Rage Against the Machine for me.

Used to be my favourite album

EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:02 (thirteen years ago)

Who gave Evol the #1 btw? You're in my books.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:02 (thirteen years ago)

should be higher than Sister, but okay. Death to Our Friends and Shadow of a Doubt two of the best tracks of the 80s IMO.

Hellhouse, Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:02 (thirteen years ago)

Sister rocks harder though. Evol's charms don't have that much to do with rocking out imo.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:03 (thirteen years ago)

Nothing's Shocking placed about right. Born too Late is another surprise, I didn't realize the early trad doom bands are so popular on ILM.

Frobisher the (Viceroy), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:04 (thirteen years ago)

Have gone through phases with this but I think at the moment that I prefer Evol to Sister.

Sock Puppets II (Mr Andy M), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:04 (thirteen years ago)

so sister and confused your idols left for sonic youth

costly pussy riot (jjjusten), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:06 (thirteen years ago)

I only like Jane Says out of everything I've heard by JA. Too straight ahead rock for me

Jessie Fer Ark (Mobbed Up Ping Pong Psychos), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:06 (thirteen years ago)

AG was plugging them REALLY hard on the noms threads.

xpost Confusion was #50 iirc. Only Sister left for SY.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:06 (thirteen years ago)

This might be blasphemy but I actually prefer Porno for Pyros to JA.

Frobisher the (Viceroy), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:07 (thirteen years ago)

evol my #3

space dokken (Edward III), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:07 (thirteen years ago)

viceroy that's crazy blasphemy. not even blasphemy - that's just weird :)

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:09 (thirteen years ago)

Actually there's 2 SY albums not placed yet and guess what...

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:09 (thirteen years ago)

Handlebar twirl time

EVOL is like a tour of a dead city. ghostly and tripped, but w/out the undertone of menace on Bad Moon Rising. aside from Death to Our Friends, not a particularly heavy rec, agreed.

Hellhouse, Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:11 (thirteen years ago)

BIG jump in points there

Arvo Pärt Chimp (Neil S), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:11 (thirteen years ago)

Set me on fire

Jessie Fer Ark (Mobbed Up Ping Pong Psychos), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:12 (thirteen years ago)

behemoth! motherfucker!

Don't tell me some live album went top 5.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:13 (thirteen years ago)

Zen Arcade = p classic

EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:14 (thirteen years ago)

true, I nominated Walls Have Ears. v. much doubt it placed.

xp

Hellhouse, Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:15 (thirteen years ago)

would probably have voted that for my #1 if i'd have gotten around to it

DJ Mooncup (NickB), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:16 (thirteen years ago)

zen arcade i mean

DJ Mooncup (NickB), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:16 (thirteen years ago)

preferring porno for pyros is just i dont even know what to say. oh wait yeah porno for pyros is absolutely awful, that was it

costly pussy riot (jjjusten), Thursday, 4 October 2012 21:17 (thirteen years ago)
