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

the joke can go fuck himself

okay, fine. seriously, though, you can drop the indignant outrage. it's not worth it, I don't care and there's no fucking beef, end of story. knock yrself out w/the antagonism if you must, but I'm done. (enjoy the poll, ffs!)

does the success of this poll just not prove how much ilm is an old fuckers hangout, and therefore no longer relevant in this new on-demand world we all now live in ?

[me included, before anyone gets all uppity .. ]

no

for real though new on-demand world we live in at root of how this poll is relevant. pure spotify fuel.

fair enough ...

old fuckers love music.

this was a way enjoyable poll. no rok no cred tho

This was my first ILM poll. It was fun! If i learned anything it's that I should have done a 'weighted' ballot to give my favorites extra points, and that you guys really love Albini and Sonic Youth.

would love to see something similar to this for the 70s, maybe ease anti-rolling stone canonicity a little but tighten RAWK parameters. i think if results were around top 400 the multitude of zeppelin and sabbath wouldn't be quite as anticlimactic.

yeah there's a lot to be said for a weighted ballot, as I learned from the tracks poll

really? how many points do you waste doing an unweighted ballot?

here's mine btw

OK, I knew the first three tracks of New Day Rising already, obv. If the whole album is this good, I can totally see how this beats the other HD albums.

hey some dude, Kix - s/t made the top 400! #256! WE WON!

I only voted for 15 albums but still managed to have one just miss the top 400:

The Replacements - Let It Be
Husker Du - Zen Arcade

Three Johns - Atom Drum Bop
Swell Maps - ...In "Jane From Occupied Europe"

If anyone wants an essay about how awesome that Warrant album is, just let me know and I'll write it.

i easily could have voted for more but didn't feel like being all "hey guys i dunno if you heard but husker du was a swell band"

love that however convoluted these polls seem in theory, there's always a refreshing logic to the results.

um, so you guys really like Butthole Surfers huh. don't get me wrong, i like em too, just never guessed they had so many gems amongst the rough.

man, that deluxe edition of Superfuzz Bigmuff totally smokes. strangely enough, the songs that featured on the original EP are nowhere near my favourite material on there.

Ranked, and I don't really like the Butthole Surfers as much as this seems:

X - Los Angeles
X - Wild Gift
Psychedelic Furs - Talk Talk Talk
Black Flag - Damaged
Butthole Surfers - Hairway to Steven

Also would there be enough people contributing? The success of this poll was determined by those posting on the threads and would the same people have an interest in a 70s rock poll? That would be key for me.
The 80s poll had a lot of people taking part who grew up with the music that decade and I'm not sure the 70s would be the same with the exception of a few people into punk n prog (and Rush would dominate like sonic Youth did the 80s poll).
Otoh it would be nice to have bands like Funkadelic and Mandrill getting the props they deserve.
But would there be enough posters/voters?

A 90s poll would be harder to do because so many on ilm lived through it. How would we decide what was and wasn't allowed. Would also need more than a top 400!

Great work AG, really enjoyed this.

Obviously lots of listening to do but some things I've already checked out and enjoyed:

Swell Maps - Jane From Occupied Europe
Meat Puppets - Huevos
Bitch Magnet - Umber
Band of Susans - Love Agenda
Giant Sand - Valley of Rain
Didjits - Hey Judester
Butthole Surfers - Rembrandt Pussyhorse

Loved the Buttholes one especially, their most psychedelic record maybe?

I'd be up for a 70s poll, but I think it ought to be shorter; I've not been able to keep up with this one because it's just been so gargantuan.

I asked some ilxors on twitter and they all replied 70s first then a 90s poll. So anyone else interested? Everything would depend on seandalai helping and if you want a tracks poll I need a volunteer for co-runner.
Would be 2 weeks for nominations and 2 weeks for voting. Then I guess 2 weeks to roll out.

Nick the point of a long poll is so that lesser known cult faves get introduced to wider ilx and everyones vote countts so they do not need to just do tactical voting to get led zep or rush or sabbath a place higher up.
Of course i cant see there being enough albums to do a 400 with.

A '70s rock poll would be great, definitely up for that.

Oh I totally get that, it's just, for me, too much information to parse!

I think blount gets it right with this

i think if results were around top 400 the multitude of zeppelin and sabbath wouldn't be quite as anticlimactic.

Simply tabulating requires minimal effort now for me (for the EOY poll most of my time goes into the stats), so I can probably help out.

really? how many points do you waste doing an unweighted ballot?

This time round you got 10 extra points to give out with a weighted/split ballot compared to an unweighted ballot. But really the main benefit of having a weighted portion is that you get to give more points to the albums you care about more (or think need more help) - even if an unweighted ballot seems easier, it's probably not the case that you care about every album equally.

would be interested to see where, exactly, the aesthetic boundaries get drawn in the '70s poll.

i don't think i bought a single "rock" record between 1990 and 1997 as i was so immersed in electronic music so i'd find that of interest to see what gems i missed out on, but a 70s poll would be more fun.

Well it appears there's support for a 70s poll and seandalai says its no problem then shall we do a nominations thread then see what aesthetic boundaries we can agree on? I think we will be less strict but again less sure about springsteen. Still , that's what the thread is for. Because you want to vote for it isn't enough reason to have an album nominated so in borderline cases i think a good case has to be provided.

Anyway dont reply to that here - leave it for
Nominations for a 70s 'Anti-Rolling Stone Canon ' style Albums Poll

And dont forget to vote in the
I'VE GOT THE POWER! This is the 1990s ELECTRONIC TRACKS AND ALBUMS voting thread! - Deadline on Monday, October 8th, at 12PM (GMT)

haha dude you HAVE to come up with a different name than 'Anti-Rolling Stone Canon' for this stuff, it'll make even less sense with the 70s poll

well lets wait and see what is nominated. but for archival purposes its easier to keep these titles.
I guess a 70s poll will be a more alternative rolling stone canon rather than anti rolling stone canon.

I dunno I think you could still keep the spirit of the poll going in the 70s - no dylan, no byrds - and rolling stone wasn't exactly singing the high praise of sabbath and the stooges in the 70s

well get in there and nominate
Nominations for a 70s 'Anti-Rolling Stone Canon ' style Albums Poll

Happier times ITT

Had to close nominations on the above poll in order to do this
ILX decides the Poll. 70s Rock Poll vs 70s all genre poll.

I had an a-ha moment years ago when I figured out where the gtr sample in "envoye!" comes from

and now I can't remember for the life of me
