"It's just slash your wrists music, isn't it?"

Actually, yes.

So what was number 0?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

(I wish Tom's comments could have accompanied the top of the tree.)

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

wait a minute. who all voted radiohead?

― cºzen (Cozen), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Same number of total votes and same number of #1s, but look at Radiohead's margin of victory!

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:14 (twenty-one years ago)

woo-hoo!

― Jamie Fake (the pirate king), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Crimony.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

if ilm loves radiohead so much why don't they marry it. hahahahahaha!!!

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

(I wish Tom's comments could have accompanied the top of the tree.)

I actually voted Radiohead #2 (behind Mclusky), but yeah, first thing that came to mind as well.

― Maciej Kasperowicz (Maciej), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Alright, alright, whatever. Could Stevem please post my ballots on a separate thread somewhere because I've completely forgotten what I've voted for.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:16 (twenty-one years ago)

i might've voted for kid a! stevem do ballots on another thread plz!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Kid A got 61 votes, not 55 - sorry

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Vaguely relevant threads to amuse yourself with:

Kid A

Taking Sides - Amnesiac vs. Kid A

What artists would you like to see go through a Kid A-ish period of experimental excess?

Ten Words Or Less: Kid A

And one of the first ILM threads ever -- from Tom!

Radiohead Album Cover: What Are They Thinking?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Steve, we love you anyway for putting yourself through such masochistic interweb metalism.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Radiohead practically gets the crown by default,

this is why I hate radiohead so much...

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

We need to undertake research to see if the Voting form was circulated on Radiohead mailing lists/ MBs ;-)

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

(As a Brit) is this what all the people who voted Nader in 2000 felt like?

― Jamie T Smith (Jamie T Smith), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

the list is not all one thing or all one goal, it is a mix of love and strategy and bile and contrarianism and the desire to share this great record you fell in love with and listened to nothing but for a week or a year

the nom process was good because to burn your one nom you had to really love something. i believe every record on this list is beloved by somebody and i respect that even if i hate some of them.

and thats why this is a good list

and tom's comments made me sad and happy just like the album

sorry im getting emo

im gonna go now

― artiste (artiste), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

next week: the 90s!

unless i drink myself into oblivion tonight which may be slightly more fun...

later

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

yikes - killiam vs. ewing really is a 'now vs. then' isn't it

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

seriously, someone can we just auto-excelsior jess' reaction to this when the time comes?

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:25 (twenty-one years ago)

HAHAAHAHAHAHAHA! DAFT PUNK SUCKS!

(and Kid A aint much better)

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

(You're right, amateurist, I'm the only one to make a few negative comments on this thread, and of course I've said nothing positive on it anywhere at all. Obviously I've been so awful on this thread that it was necessary to call me out for these things.)

― Rockist_Scientist (rockist_scientist), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I still put forth my request to do the 90s poll, but if you want to do it, let me just suggest that we have open voting but be able to vote for more than 15 albums. And that we change 'tracks' to 'singles' and have open voting for that as well.

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Stevem's 2000-4 poll instilled the kind of hope in us white college kids that John Kerry wishes he could instill now.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

omg i hadnt bothered to read the rhead comments before now!!

― artiste (artiste), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Who is Richard Killiam?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Problem with doing a 90's poll : we already know what will win #1 album. Perhaps we should hand the top spot to Loveless and just vote on #2-#100.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Are you implying that it's Loveless that's a shoe-in for #1?

uh...

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I would say "Remember that this is ILM" but LOOK AT THE 00 POLL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:42 (twenty-one years ago)

open voting in the 90s = pop vote scatters a million directions, indie vote rallies round touchstones

― artiste (artiste), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:43 (twenty-one years ago)

xp boy bands?

― bakers (thoia), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

What else would it be?
(xpost OK Computer is no match for Loveless, except on PFM, but their points tabulation system was fucked anyway)

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Loveless won the ILM poll of best record of all time, but that was a while ago.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Even beat out Britney. And I didn't vote in that one either!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, after this poll people would probably not vote for it in a "Oh I don't want to be predictable in THAT way" reaction.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Which means that Violator goes number one and the world is made right once again!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

b..b..b..b..but to this day, writing a bad word about Loveless on ILM will get you banned for life. It's the equivalent of a hate crime in our little musical society!

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I fear it would be even worse. Achtung Baby!

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

(xpost)
Doesn't Ned employ a gang of thugs to hunt people down in such instances?

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Indeed, what constituttes an "ILM person," when many are just 'lurkers' which could be any number of people that we never see posting. So, if someone has only lurked once or twice, what are they? I say let's give those 'swing voters' a chance. If Justin Timberlake shows up too much, though, we may regret it...

-- Richard K (billycorga...), July 30th, 2004. (Richard K)

― artiste (artiste), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:56 (twenty-one years ago)

It'd still have pretty good odds, though. Definitely top five, probably top two, possibly #1.

At least there's no totally obvious #1 single...right?

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Dr. Bill, load up on guns, and bring your friends.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Because when the light's out...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

No way.

Here?

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Friday, 27 August 2004 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

if ned recorded a cover of smells like teen spirit i might vote for that

― artiste (artiste), Friday, 27 August 2004 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)
