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

I don't post albums by big bands that you might have thought could possibly grace a top 100. These albums wont be announced until the end to preserve your suspense.

I'm glad I didn't find out sooner, because my dumbstruckness would've been prolonged instead of just being a new thing I'm dealing with tonight.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 6 August 2010 02:31 (thirteen years ago) link
it just depends on how many there are. if its a sprinkling of TBAs that will be suspenseful indeed, if its like half of the 300-100 range thats just nonsense.
― Without warning, a wizard walks by. (Viceroy), Friday, 6 August 2010 02:32 (thirteen years ago) link
I can abandon it and just post everything if people want. Doesn't bother me either way. I love it when people shout "too low" or "im glad that's out of the way"
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 6 August 2010 02:33 (thirteen years ago) link
the next one is a big band/album
I vote for abandoning it, because I honestly can't see myself caring much what #294 was when this thing is all over.

yeah i have to agree
― Without warning, a wizard walks by. (Viceroy), Friday, 6 August 2010 02:37 (thirteen years ago) link
You're going to have to abandon it after about 150, at any rate, otherwise you'll be skipping more than you'll be listing.

Might I suggest posting them two at a time for while? I know I argued against that very thing in the tracks poll, but that was a top 100. In this context, it might just be nice to see the juxtaposition of things (and it would speed up the process).

at least johnny will like that^

look at it this way johnny, by doing a 300, an album you love got in.
LOL I agree - this is the VH album with SYNTHS man!!!
― Without warning, a wizard walks by. (Viceroy), Friday, 6 August 2010 02:45 (thirteen years ago) link
too low
I devalued 1984 on my ballot, but that album opened up a whole new world to me when it was new.

I was 1 year old when it came out.

Like, it came out when I was 10 and my weirdo parents still wouldn't allow me to listen to anything secular (they've relaxed greatly over time). Anyway, I heard it blaring out the back of some guy's Chevy Blazer at one of my dad's company picnics and I just kind of stayed close, behind a tree, while the whole album played two times through.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 6 August 2010 02:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Rush was arguably my primary gateway band into metal, and I'd rather see them on this list than anything grunge!
xpost: I was puzzled by Van Halen's non-performance on the Tracks poll, too. Unfashionable now, maybe, but in terms of influence on the historical course of metal, VH were as important as just about anybody short of Sabbath. And I say that as somebody who has never bought or even downloaded a single Van Halen song.
Thin Lizzy were robbed on Tracks, too. "Black Rose"! It's enough to almost make me wish I'd voted.
― glenn mcdonald, Friday, 6 August 2010 02:51 (thirteen years ago) link
Hey I've never actually listened to the entirety of Bad Reputation... but no doubt its amazing.
― Without warning, a wizard walks by. (Viceroy), Friday, 6 August 2010 02:51 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah too much Thin Lizzy vote splitting I think on the tracks list.

poor, poor Tres Hombres. It got knocked from the top 100 of the alt 70s poll because of an accounting error, and now it's fallen just inside the top 300 of the all time metal/rock poll. Sorry, dudes.

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.
