I dont think St Vitus will do as well this time. Next poll it might though.

Finally tipped for Up On The Sun b/c My First Bells no longer exists in that form, and New Day Rising i've so internalized that I never really play it anymore.
And bc Up On The Sun still seems to paint a picture of an escapist oasis I would gladly live in if I knew where to find it.

Poor Würm. I've always felt sorry for them for being the second-most famous mid-'80s hardcore band to have umlauts. They're like SST's house Tommie Aaron.

This poll was a very tough one. In any other year the likes of Project: Mersh would be right up at the top. But there was no way it was gonna happen with New Dat Rising, My First Bells et al.
― wronger than 100 geir posts (MacDara), Tuesday, 6 April 2010 23:54 (fourteen years ago) link
New DAY Rising, obviously. But maybe if they had Dat back then for recording it would've sounded better.

Not saying it's a bad record, just surprised at the landslide.
I figured it would win so ended up voting for Flip Your Wig. So im pleased to see i wasnt the only one voting for it.

so apparently Angst played Boston quite a bit and Frank Black was their #1 superfan...pretty interesting to listen to Lite Life with that in mind, there are things that stick out as total Pixies moves he copped from them

Coincidentally a friend and I were just discussing SST a week ago and I mentioned Angst and he told me this same fact! I probably haven’t heard lite life in almost thirty years.

Did they do a tour supporting Meat Puppets in 87. I know they were on at the Clarendon ballroom at the London debut. I don't think I payed them much attention which may have been an oversight. Just don't remember being impressed.
― Stevolende, Thursday, 19 January 2023 15:28 (one year ago) link
Think they supported dinosaur Jr on their first uk date too?
― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Thursday, 19 January 2023 16:52 (one year ago) link
can't have been first, that was the ULU support for Primal Scream that had a tear gas cannister released by some girl in the audience. 3rd band on bill was Boy Hairdresser who begat Teenage Fanclub 2nd was Clarendon Ballroom and I can't think who else was on the bill.It was around the same time roughly though I think though next Meat Puppets gig was the night of the storm in October so that's a month earlier. ULU Dinosaur was 26th November, I think Klub Foot next night. Also thought there was a while between Meat Puppets playing Clarendon and the Marquee in which they had played some of Europe.
― Stevolende, Thursday, 19 January 2023 17:10 (one year ago) link
To clear this up, Angst supported Dinosaur Jr at the Clarendon on 27/11/1987. Yes I kept a record of every gig I went to back then. Also on the bill: The Purple Things.
