The only metal tunes I like are "Nothing Else Matters" and "Hero of the Day" by Metallica.

AND there goes my number one pick
― SAUSAGE LIVES ON IN MY HEART (and much of my gi tract prob) (jjjusten)
I was the other #1. Far too low.

Have you ever seen Spinal Tap, Tuomas?
― Johnelle Fevráe (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 5 August 2010 16:59 (thirteen years ago) link
The Funkadelic tunes are quite okay, but I don't see how they're metal.

Yeah, that's a funny movie.

19 Saint Vitus - Born Too Late (1986) 563 Points, 18 votershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RnRDizzBM0Every time I'm on the streetPeople laugh and point at meThey talk about my length of hairAnd the out of date clothes I wear
They say I look like the living deadThey say I can't have much in my headThey say my songs are much too slowBut they don't know the things I know
I know I don't belongAnd there's nothing I can doI was born too lateAnd I'll never be like you
In my life things never changeTo everybody I seem strangeBut in my world now something's diedSo I just stare with these insane eyes
I know I don't belongAnd there's nothing that I can doI was born too lateAnd I'll never be like you
Saint Vitus is cool and all. I even voted for them, but not above, what, 7 or 8 other Black Sabbath tracks? You people are mad.
― Johnelle Fevráe (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 5 August 2010 17:05 (thirteen years ago) link
its called vote splitting, everyone has their own faves
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 5 August 2010 17:07 (thirteen years ago) link
I see this as a positive development in the countdown. Much of the Sabbath vote-splitting is out of the way now. Saint Vitus gets a ton of people rallying behind a common unifying track. I can't listen to this right now, but look forward to it when I get home.

Love that Saint Vitus song, the album it's from roolz

Yes, that "Super Stupid" is not heavy in the slightest, duh

18 people voted for it, so you cant really argue with it. Plus when do you ever see vitus in an alltime countdown? ILM excelling itself here for now
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 5 August 2010 17:12 (thirteen years ago) link
I love this song, it was very high in my ballot.
― Green Manalishi (Viceroy), Thursday, 5 August 2010 17:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Some songs are "canon" within their genre, but aren't well known outside of it. So it surprises some people (especially ones who dont hang out on the rolling metal thread). But if they vote, they get represented, and hurrah for that.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 5 August 2010 17:17 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh, I fully expected "Born Too Late" to show up. But it should probably be somewhere between 51-100.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 5 August 2010 17:27 (thirteen years ago) link
I guess the problem here is with metal fans being beholden to their precious albums, and representing those albums at all costs in a tracks poll despite there being so many good or great tracks out there that stand alone whether you have any attachment to the particular album or not.

I'm guessing Thin Lizzy won't show up on this poll now. How depressing.

eh idk, that definitely wasnt how my ballot worked, but i know theres some stuff in my top 10 that might look like that from a certain perspective, but i was dead serious about it being a trackworthy alltime number idk 8 or whatever.

My ballot was done in all honesty, thinking in "tracks/singles/songs I love" mode, not trying to get certain artists higher placed or whatever. Metallica fans are starting to just piss me off now.
― Green Manalishi (Viceroy), Thursday, 5 August 2010 17:35 (thirteen years ago) link
You cant fuck with these metallica tracks placing (so far at least)they would grace any metal list.It's funny though that ppl complain there's too much by x bands but then everytime a Sabbath track places a whole chorus of "too low!" goes up!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 5 August 2010 17:37 (thirteen years ago) link
that's cuz Sabbath rule
― Chicago to Philadelphia: "Suck It" (Bill Magill), Thursday, 5 August 2010 17:38 (thirteen years ago) link
I'd still be happy if my #1 song (a Metallica song) were to place, although I don't hold out much hope.

17 Led Zeppelin · When the Levee Breaks (1971) (569 points · 12 votes - 1 number one vote)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbrjRKB586s
Pretty sure this is the highest placing "Song stolen from Memphis Minnie and then vaguely repurposed by a bunch of pasty english white dudes" song in the poll.
Of course thats mostly because there weren't any Rolling Stones noms I suppose.

You can do it with BBCode, or people can just copy and paste.
