IT BEGINS

;)

LJ needs to listen to Black Sabbath.

ilxor you have made a mess of the 1st post. didnt you save it then post to tinypic?

LJ go listen to EVERY Black Sabbath album in chronological order NOW. They're all on spotify.

Nope. Sorry. I can make it again if you want to do that, though!

xp

yeah! Then a mod can fix it!

What is GAPDYX please?

it's an acronym for the hot critical darling bands of 2009:

Grizzly Bear
Animal Collective
Phoenix
Dirty Projectors
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
XX

it really has nothing to do with this poll

ryan pitchfork had all 6 in his P&J ballot iirc. ILXors got really pissed off with gapdy in every poll (they loved the xx)

too low fiends at the ready?

Mentioning this list of worthies:
Grizzly Bear
Animal Collective
Phoenix
Dirty Projectors
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
XX

... in the same breath as a behemoth like Sabotage is heartbreaking.

really that is no way to get me to listen to Black Sabbath, now is it? give it time

bill otm

eh, legacy aside I am MUCH more likely to play YYYs or XX than Black Sabbath

the other 4 can go jump in a lake tho

TOO LOW!!!!!!!

as was discussed over in the "Modern Metal" thread or whatever it is called, it's a common theme that this album is hugely influential on all that came after.

bill, get your hankies, you're gonna cry.

lawlz

I mean, I didn't vote for this but I assumed everyone else did

bill just be thankful I didn't submit a ballot or this could have been even funnier

way too F&*^IN' low!

eh, legacy aside I am MUCH more likely to play YYYs or XX than Black Sabbath

^ do you have to put your balls in escrow somewhere before you listen to bands like that?

Nope! (You do for Animal Collective tho)

hahahahaha

i will never understand how anyone gets enjoyment of the xx, who should be the zz's as they are boring and make you slee.. zzzzzzzzz

Hello all. So, I see we have classic Sabbath and Motörhead records right here - did you decide to start with 1 and go up to 100? 'Cuz I could totally see these as 1 & 2, even if I didn't vote for either.

I voted for both Sabotage and Ace of Spades. Some discussion going on about them both here - What's the first modern metal album?

SABOTAGE WAY TOO LOW although I didn't actually vote for it thinking about it, but I should have for side 1 alone.

I want to like Drudkh but I don't.

How the hell do you pronounce Drudkh?
