i think this is the one i like

Triptykon were awesome at Wacken.

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

2 Mötley Crüe - Red, White And Crüe 5249 Points, 24 Votes, TWO #1's

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!

thou are pretty high profile. weird they didn't place in the top 300

hey maybe everyone decided celtic frost were shit after all

*flees*

Bongripper missed out too, right?

doom/sludge not as hip as it was?

I guess something's gotta make room for babymetal

FUCK YEAH

*headbangs*

ok you can swap them back now

no worries, CS, i know you weren't talking about me. (thx for doing all this, btw, seems like a massive undertaking for what we're paying you.)

i thought you'd like at least the arty avant garde digressions on celtic frost records lj but i prob misjudged how you feel about the actual metal

let's do this again now that everyone has learned from their mistakes

I need to give it a proper listen tbf

Celtic Frost covered all styles from the beginning speed/thrash/doom/gothic/death/black then added avant garde elements then hit a real low with cold lake, limped on then split then came back with the greatest comeback album ever IMO.

No thrash on this album its pretty much an avant doom/goth album but its magnificent and a worthy winner imo.

It was my #1

Monotheist is just that beloved on ILM? Cool.

Typical ILM though - if it won't give the prize to an album from 2000 that's basically upgraded Sabbath, it'll give it to a comeback from an 80s band :P
