Nominations for a 70s 'Anti-Rolling Stone Canon ' style Albums Poll

remember what happened last time you roped other people into doing the gruntwork on a poll where you and only you get to set the arbitrary rules of inclusion and exclusion? (xpost)

Glen Branca - Songs '77-'79

here ya go

Rainbow - Rising

er Rainbow-Rising

Jimi Hendrix - Band Of Gypsys
james Blood Ulmer - Tales of Captain Black
MC5 - High Time

sorry if there are duplicates there

The Ruts - The Crack

Hawkwind - Quark, Strangeness & Charm
Hawklords - 25 Years On

the hendrix was recorded on 1 Jan 1970 i think xxp

ok hendrix really? Enjoy your Rollingstonecanonocracy, sheeple

just call this "best rock albums of the 70s"

Slade - Slayed?

Black Widow - Sacrifice

m@tt did you see the diff between the noms and the results on the 80s poll?

Also this one might be a bit debatable but -
X-Ray Spex - Germ Free Adolescents

Black Flag-Nervous Breakdown

m@tt did you see the diff between the noms and the results on the 80s poll?

a little? those threads were long, just feel like this is gonna be way more normal than like 27 nitzer ebb songs and random metal & punk stuff results which was p cool and interesting imo

is keith hudson, lee perry and prince far i taking it too far....??

you could've looked at the 80s noms and said, ha pretenders and van halen good luck losers, but they came in at #351 and #127 respectively

xp

You can have Funkadelic but not Shuggie Otis? I am not bitching but I just need to understand what is the line here? Is it just subjective to one person or are there rules ?

maybe the rules are "could chuck eddy qualify it as metal by some tortured logic?"

there are rules and they are subjective to one person

Nazareth - Loud n' Proud (at least listen to them invent doom metal with their cover of dylan's 'ballad of hollis brown')

I thought rush invented doom metal

Lula Côrtes & Zé Ramalho - Paêbirú

actually this might invent stoner rock/metal but i never know where the line is:

EIII please check your email

If I nominate Buzzcocks records are they likely to get vetoed?

Lula Côrtes & Zé Ramalho - Paêbirú

great record!

oh man stick around for 4:31 of nazareth, fuckin' a shit gets nuts

im asking people to stick to a heavier kind of rock like we did with the 80s poll. Though some really weird outthere music will be accepted (like nurse with wound)

xp
i think buzzcocks qualify under punk?

i should say!

Spirit - 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus

just nominate it dudes, it if gets shot down you can tell yr therapist about it

Third World War - II

alot of miles should totally make the cut but alot of stuff here is rock but nowhere near RAWKS enough imo to fit spirit of 80s poll, carducci-eddy aesthetic good guidepost (though obv chuck eddy hates alot of stuff on 80s poll eg big black, slayer, maiden). my guiding question would be is most of the entire album (not just one or two cuts like after the gold rush) composed of tracks that you could imagine flying down the road in yr t-top firebird screaming 'OMG THIS FUCKING RAWKS'? could you bring it to a friend and go 'dude you like stooges/sabbath/early funkadelic/pere ubu/alice cooper/zz top/boston? you should check this out'? does it rock harder than springsteen? some neil young yes, some neil young no. i love elvis costello but no, blood and chocolate is probably his most rawking album and it would've been out of place between candlemass and skinny puppy. i also suggested loosing anti rolling stone canonicity but heavily restricting the aesthetic parameters. stones imo the only ones i'd admit are sticky fingers, exile, and some girls. the others don't rawk enough or aren't pure enough rawk imo. only bowie i'd admit is man who sold the world, ziggy, and aladdin sane. no dylan qualifies imo. nor any beatles related stuff, even though 'jet' does rawk. there's already been an ilx 70s poll and million other 70s polls elsewhere, this doesn't need to be this. totally trusting ag to make the judgments here and would hope errs on the side of strictness, esp since there is so much to choose from in the 70s. no turds in the punch bowl.

Ok then
Buzzcocks - Spiral Scratch]
Buzzcocks - Another Music In A Different Kitchen

balls otm would a mod remove the rolling stone part in the thread?

no dylan
no springsteen
will allow band of gypsies but thats it
1 stones
1 pink floyd

EIII answer your email dammit

SOME GIRLS FOR STONES PLZ! even the temptations cover on that rocks.

yeah i figured it was close but i looked it up

shitloads of stuff from the 70s is really 60s albums but i guess they have to count

1 Stones + 1 Pink Floyd = 33% of Rolling Stone Canon.

Pentagram - First Daze Here
Crushed Butler - Uncrushed

^^AG -- you'll have to rule on these, awesome 70s hard rock that wasn't actually released until the 00s??

ok. from reading the recent posts i'm reckoning this poll is jamaicanist so i'll leave out the lee perry even though i frequently fly down the road in my t-top firebird listening to it screaming 'OMG THIS FUCKING RAWKS'?

M@tt if it was recorded in the 70s its in

Captain Beyond - Captain Beyond
Armageddon - Armageddon
Heldon - Stand By

M@tt if it was recorded in the 70s its in
