YOU TOTALLY MISSED THE ILX HEAVY ROCK/METAL ALBUM POLL COUNTDOWN, SUCKA (CLICK FOR A RECAP)

It's not gonna last to the other part of the tie, lolol. :)

Then I'm glad you paused a moment before the second one.

ah man I could have gotten SO much shit in here

Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow (2003)(157 Points, 4 votes)
http://cover7.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/470/473088.jpg

that's indie-rock iirc

LJ, something with 2 #1 votes still wouldn't make the top 300.

Hey, I have no problem with Lightning Bolt. I think of them as heavy noise, but that definitely fits the parameters of what you set up. That's the album with "Two Towers," right? That song grooves in a mighty heavy way.

It's a varied list, it's very ILM. I think it's a great list personally. The amount of votes was insane. Over 80 voters.

I love that Lightening Bolt album and it is hard as fuck.

Monarch - 666 (2005) (158 Points, 5 voters)

ha I was just teasing - I need to hear that one actually, only got the album afterwards xpost

will provide spotify links if there are any

I forgot to post my thoughts on that in my "free album" poll - it's quite good! Not sure I would have paid full price for it, but I'm not selling it either. I need to wait for cooler weather to reevaluate - not really a summer album.

i was wondering if you had ever got round to playing it.
btw have we lost johnny fever? I thought he would have approved of the #1 track.

it is illegal to disapprove of that track tbh - it is mighty in every way

You guys just live in an entirely different world from me.

we didn't give up on metal 20 years ago though! You should try listening to stuff since then, you might find stuff you like.

I just found a band I like last year, Mantic Ritual. But that's only because they sound like Exodus in 1986.

Witchfinder General - Friends Of Hell (1982) (159 Points, 5 voters)
http://www.metal-archives.com/images/1/2/8/0/1280.jpg

Oh I wonder how Death Penalty will do!

this album rules too though

I'm not summarizing these in list form btw. Not mad, honest. I just don't want to be chained to keeping up with this thread all the way through.

that album-cover is pretty fucking funny (well, as pretty fucking funny as 'kinda rapey' gets)

aww johnny, your lack of presence here will suck.

I'll peep in with some regularity.

What time is it for you British dudes, do you sleep???

I need to stay up til 4am. so im posting til then. Its 2.30am

so that means a few more albums certainly!

Just because I'm sure you'd want to know, so far it's one album I like, one I kind of like, one I've never heard and one I absolutely do not like at all. You can guess which is which.

johnny this thread needs you.

(ʇloq ƃuıuʇɥƃıl puɐ 'ɥɔɹɐuoɯ 'lɐɹǝuǝƃ ɹǝpuıɟɥɔʇıʍ 'looɥɔslɹıƃ :ɹǝpɹo uı)

plus johnny is the only one who gets the recaps right

JOHNNY! JOHNNY!

Johnny, you wouldn't like Monarch. Or, if you did, I'd be really surprised. So chalk that up as two in the last column.

I'm liking this album. But I love this kind of cheese.

I've never heard of Turisas, but a quick jaunt over to youtube has me saying HELL YEAH! Cheesy and gloriously so. Well done whomever voted for it.

Uh yeah, this is the kind of stuff dudes who work at Game Stop listen to in the back room while sorting out plans for WoW domination.

I don't think it will bump Korpiklaani from their cheesy humpa throne but it's still a hoot.

An acoustic album apparently.

http://open.spotify.com/album/0hFHJB0dC7SBWVtgW2jGAX

and its the first album to place that was on my ballot!

The next one is a terrific album, but sadly it got cut from my ballot

TO BE ANNOUNCED (161 Points, 5 votes)

Why so secretive?

probably waiting on an email

its the system i said we were using to protect the suspense you guys wanted for the top 100

Xpost

lol ok dude

bill macgill is always ready to throw down

better than up i suppose

Ah, This was a very interesting thread. I only regret I wasn't around to vote for as much false hipster shit as possible. My suspicions that parochial metalheads are the world's whiniest fucks have been confirmed.

the 2 biggest moaners weren't parochial metalheads though. They dont like anything heavier than 80s thrash

Its just a shame the stuff on needle is all gone. Glenn did a great job there

I forgot jeff got turisas in the poll

right reposting the list so we can discuss it without scrolling up 2000 messages

Just read back from the top 20. Oof. JF, I love you man, but that was definitely a brief moment of crazy.

Still don't think I'd have enough albums to vote for in a retread of this poll, but the corresponding tracks poll was one of my favourites.

I just want to make this clear I WILL NEVER EVER BE UNDERTAKING A BEST HEAVY ROCK/METAL ALBUM EVER - EVER AGAIN.

Turisas got themselves in the poll by being awesome.

Bill probably voted for them

I still cannot believe only one Candlemass album was nominated.

Neanderthal how many of the top 300 have you heard?

172 (yes I counted). own all of those too (or did at one point)

Will you check out any of the remaining 128?

good results. weird results. hard to believe that more people genuinely like some unlistenable fucking khanate record more than ace of spades or jailbreak, but poll results are always mystifying, ime. were jesus lizard excluded on princple?

I was kind of expecting Cynic (Focus at least) and Ved Buens Ende to show up. Most of these bands just aren't really my thing but the only selections I actually balked at were MSP. I did, however, spend last night re-acquainting myself with the first three Ulverses because of this.

oh and xxxpost by 'parochial metalhead' I mean anyone who has an absurdly narrow view of what good and/or true metal is. That for me includes anyone who dismisses anything outside their personal preferences, or anything past 1989, or even purist black metal dullards etc.

i dismiss khanate, but am right to do so

silly contenderizer

Also I doubt jesus lizard think of themselves as heavy rock or metal.

just re-reading bits of the thread and I'm surprised so many ilxors were stuck in the 70s or 80s

if jesus lizard can listen to "the art of self defense" and not think of themselves as heavy rock, then, well ... they can't, so it doesn't matter

nice to see that bullhead did so well for itself

Will you check out any of the remaining 128?

of course. I always add to my collection.

I can't believe I never listened to Sarcofago's "Laws of Scourge" before today. three songs in and I'm going gaga over the riff salad.

always liked I.N.R.I. a lot but man this is top quality stuff.

also up to 184 heard on this list now

I really miss glenns website hosting the results

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/the-100-greatest-metal-albums-of-all-time-w486923

pomenitul hope you enjoy the results

Thanks. Results are more metal than I expected.

if it ran again i think the top 2 would be reversed

oh yeah vol iv over master of reality is kinda wack even though they're both great

Paranoid is still best imo.

In the UK = Vol IV
North America = Master Of Reality

we had a by country breakdown on the old needlebase site glenn ran that hosted the results

vol iv pretty easily the worst of the first four imo

i guess it's possible for an entire country to be wrong

Very much agree.

Paranoid > Master of Reality > Black Sabbath > Vol. IV is how I'd rank them.

Well if anyone wants to join us on the lifetime of ilm tracks poll please do
Lifetime of ILM 2000-19 Heavy Rock,Noise, Heavy Psych, punk, emo, nu-metal & Metal (or related) Poll Nominations (All welcome to participate) Noms close 23:59 November 8th

pomenitul were you around when we did the lifetime of ILM metal albums poll?

Said albums poll results
https://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?showall=true&bookmarkedmessageid=6366797&boardid=41&threadid=104546

Nah, I briefly haunted ILX in the early 00s then wandered off for more than a decade. Besides, I wasn't really into metal at the time.

the lifetime poll i linked above was only in 2016

dunno why it didnt give the thread title

I only came back in early 2017 iirc.

oh ok, well have a look at the thread then. let me know there what you think of the results

Fairly different from my ballot if I'd have to come up with one now (in part because I don't really get stoner metal) but, as with the all-time poll, and at the risk of sounding like a purist, at least it's mostly metal metal and not just variegated shades of heavy.

I do wonder whether people care as much about Isis these days. They definitely acted as a stepping stone for me.
