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

none of the Metallica albums are be on spotify, I checked last night.

*are going to be

Unless somehow "The Blackest Album" made it in LOL

Anyone want to respond to paula?

Pity Smithy wont see it, it's his kinda thing (the first part anyway)

...And Justice For All was my #1.

Skot or unperson around? chuck? (chuck has a loose definition of metal, try asking him).
Have you seen his Stairway To Hell book?

Alice in Chains maybe? (as a starting point)

My definition is basically based on bands being influenced by other bands or sounding similar. Also if a band insists they are metal, I'll take them at their word. Not so much if they insist they aren't metal though...

Motorhead say they arent metal

exactly my point.

They even invented the metal ballad - see "1914"

i seem to remember a few hair metal bands in kerrang saying they were metal but then on MTV saying they weren't heavy metal they were heavy rock to not put people off.

anyway more false metal coming up

lol 1916 i mean... forgot when the great war started I guess.

Not the Rush album I voted for but I'm glad to see it on the list!

so many great Rush albums

Red Barchetta is such a great song. Hard to pick a favorite on Moving Pictures though, they're all great.

omg i just got that stupid visual pun on the rush album

Wait, really?

Lol

oh god that's one bad pun

but then again, would expect nothing less from Rush

Herm, you dont like Rush, but you like Pearl Jam?????

yup

my ballot is pretty false, but even I couldn't bring myself to vote for Pearl Jam (only grunge on it is Soundgarden). so far Presence and Bad Reputation are the only things from it that have shown up.

I didn't vote for them either

ughh

Best thing nin did

yep.

Giving that Saxon album a listen. Stand Up and Be Counted is great!

i felt like playing that nin for the first time in years but i cant find my cd and its not on spotify

Okay, someone on this thread is bound to know this- what band other than Saxon did a song called (or prominently featuring the lyrics) "Stand up and be counted"? I get the feeling it might have been Venom...?

definitely not goth
definitely not metal
no no, none of those

solid!

Goth.

youre not allowed to call them goth you must honour the flame

I remember the days you couldnt mention this band around here without getting lit on fire

the FIRE!!!!!! HONOR THE FIRE!!!!!!!

Vitalogy has two of my favourite Pearl Jam songs on it: Corduroy and Immortality.

no no no, you cant say that version, its on his radar

you need to disguise it like i did

^title track on this is probably seriously underrated. Also, Underwater Love.

The Real Thing reminds me of a really good summer, going over my friend's house every afternoon to watch Totally Pauly on MTV, making shit in the kitchen while her mom was at work, and skating in the back yard (which was mostly concrete for some reason).

why were you shitting in her kitchen? Did mtv play some death metal and you just did it?
