~~~ 15 YEARS OF ILM POLL!!! ~~~ (Metal & Heavy Rock [+ related sub-genres] Edition) RESULTS & DISCUSSION THREAD

Uncle Acid are awesome. "The Night Creeper" is particularly underrated. The Beatles gone stoner metal. Liking the Weakling album. It's a big dirty whirlwind of fear

Isis dont float my boat tbh

imo just in terms of the year it came out (and albums that brought a lot of people into metal) leviathan >>>> panopticon

xpost and the band arent too good either

I'm now rooting for a Tom G #1 and 2.

oh yeah i forgot monotheist hasn't placed dang

I don't want the Dopesmoker journey to end.

monotheist
oceanic
dopethrone

That was a great album. "Aurorae" and "Waiting" were the highlights for me.

is that 1-3 or 3-1?

Are Triptykon too metal for you imago?

maybe, let's listen

imo you'd like them

also have you heard into the pandemonium? i think that's your kind of record

ooh I haven't, ty

I didn't vote, but I am surprised Khanate's Things Viral hasn't made the cut at all.

Grinning Mouths still leaves me slack jawed and grinning like an idiot.

no fucking Thou in this thing

there's stuff to like about triptykon! but it's still quite mundane (bear in mind all thrash ever leaves me utterly cold) and I'm pretty sure its placement is riding on the celtic frost hypewave. buuuuut I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would

oceanic really suffers for being first heard after panopticon, probably

grinning mouths is on the superior album panopticon lol

its not thrash

Wow, people really like Isis. I better get more on this thing. Interesting that they're doing SO much better than, say, Neurosis.

no fucking Thou and like 15 Jute Gyte albums. Sad!

no fucking Thou in this thing

through silver in blood would have won this poll (maybe)

and no Woods of Desolation :(

No In Solitude's Sister. I should have weighted my ballot.

the # of votes and also points were not even close between 1 & 2.

twice the amount of points and almost double the # of votes

My prediction upthread, eh?

Except add an extra 0

ah dopethrone then

Dopethrone will win by 500 points

I did my part! But no Rammstein, no Iron Maiden, no Motorhead, no Limp Bizkit - a sad day for mainstream rock/metal.

There was Motorhead. #228

Slop had best have thought of a good parody #2

I mean, if you want mainstream, Tool made the top 20.

Nope. But you have 5 or 10 mins to think of one while I finish my dinner

cant help it if the high profile fans of those bands in the rolling metal thread dont vote

yeah i'm not high profile, but i didn't nominate or vote, so i'm not gonna complain.

no Thou, though? yeesh.

well I'm gonna complain

it doesnt take many votes to get into the poll so that is not an excuse for folks that its not worth it but if they dont like polls they dont like polls

alpine static i wasnt meaning you though

but if people had compaigned for the likes of Thou etc i bet they would have made it

I didn't think they needed campaigning!
