39 Sleep - Dragonaut (1993) (440 Points, 11 voters)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkFs9_kytAg
Now this is some heavy shit!!! This is such an amazing track... makes me wonder if Dopesmoker will make a surprise highly-placed position. But maybe people didn't vote for a lot of 20+ minute songs like I did...

its better than the #38 falser than false track
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:20 (thirteen years ago) link
but this was the only sleep track nominated.

but it rules so much.
Henry is back with the next 3 btw
Bring on the FALSE! (unless it's something I think is shitty too.)

This will be disgraceful mark of shame if the rumors are true...
― Green Manalishi (Viceroy), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:25 (thirteen years ago) link
It's by far the shittest thing in the top 100

38 Rush · Tom Sawyer (1981) (points 448 · 12 votes)
I know that people say that metal people are sexist, but I think that having a song with a female lead singer place this high in our countdown proves them wrong.
Sadly the original as you well know is unlistenable, so here is a better more metal version for you all.

This is your falseness? This song most definitely deserves to be here. More than TWO Manilla Roads and TWO Celtic Frosts do, anyway.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:35 (thirteen years ago) link
(And one really not-heavy not-good Manics song.)
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:36 (thirteen years ago) link
The synth solos are classic man! If you don't think synth solos are "hard" or "metal" than I think you need to reconsider your life.
― Green Manalishi (Viceroy), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:36 (thirteen years ago) link
def. not false or weak. Rush had harder tracks though...
"Tom Sawyer" is totally awesome, WTF.

― Green Manalishi (Viceroy), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:38 (thirteen years ago) link
I mean, everything about it is awesome. When I got my first (& so far only) Moog synth, loads of years ago, I was really pleased with it b/c it did a 100% emulation of the Tom Sawyer noise.

People, we can't reason with someone who thinks Manilla Road is ALL TIME great.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:40 (thirteen years ago) link
Sorry to cause such turmoil, I just figured that anyone that hadn't heard the real version of Tom Sawyer should spend less time cliking youtube links and more time trying to figure out how to escape the locked safe they had been trapped in since birth.
― Henry Kvlt Pvp, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Eh, there's a shittier band with THREE SONGS still to come!
The absence of women from this poll is glaring even compared to normal metal proportions. None in the top 100 so far, and I won't spoil the suspense, but there aren't a lot of them still to come...

Up next a SHOCKING ENTRANT
― Henry Kvlt Pvp, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:45 (thirteen years ago) link
I voted Wendy O. Willams really high on my ballot to compensate for this, but I don't know that she'll be one of the women accounted for.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:46 (thirteen years ago) link
cant force anyone to votexp
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:46 (thirteen years ago) link
More thrash and death please. Much of this is a bit slow and sludgy for me.
― rhythm fixated member (chap), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:46 (thirteen years ago) link
its not like all the voters are female mind you, i counted more than in the EOY polls, but again, i cant force males or females to vote.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:47 (thirteen years ago) link
No one's talking about voters. We were talking about bands with females!
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:48 (thirteen years ago) link
i cant force people to vote for anything either! I tried to get as many peole voting as i can without hassling anyone. What can I do?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:49 (thirteen years ago) link
Anyway most stuff in the top 100 are radio hits, so blame the popists!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:50 (thirteen years ago) link
I voted for a fair few women, as far as I recall (including one song which may well fall into the 'guilty pleasure' category, even though I think it is actually awesome). I suspect they're all unlikely to chart.
Will leave commenting on the stuff that's come in until tomorrow when I shall resume my youtubing. Some good tracks, though. (Also, I haven't heard that Rush song! Sorry Henry.)
― emil.y, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:50 (thirteen years ago) link
I mean, no one would argue that metal is one of the most male-dominated genres of music (right up there with rap), but there's been ZERO women. Sad, sad, sad.

Eventually you run out of jokes about Black Sabbath. His kids are fat and this song is about pigs. Sigh.

emil.y, you and henry have been the best posters on the thread (no offence to anyone, apart from you rush savages ;) )

Way to embrace the few of us who are actually following along!

please dont go all tuomas & co on us, like i said, i cant help the results. We just need others to vote. Albums poll will be a bit different to this top 100. But i cant promise less dudes.

I sent steak for you to your owner, didn't he give it to you? The post office said he signed for it.

No, I'm just taking offense to you awarding one human and one dog most favored contributor status in a thread, making the rest of us feel like garbage. Classy.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:58 (thirteen years ago) link
Ha, I'm not sure the TRU METAL DUDES would necessarily agree with your opinion, Herman. But I've been enjoying myself a lot, and listening to a bunch of stuff that I wouldn't usually do.

emil.y otm
Anyway, "War Pigs" was one of the two Sabbath tracks I voted for. I have no doubt the other one will be in the top 20 at least.
xp I know. I am universally loved in ILM poll world!!! (saw your email, it's cool.)
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 5 August 2010 00:04 (thirteen years ago) link
me too!! I wonder if we're thinking of the same track...
― Green Manalishi (Viceroy), Thursday, 5 August 2010 00:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Probably, if it starts with P and ends with a D.
