TWO?!?!?!

Celestial (The Tower) is a mega groovy song. The rest of the album is quite good too, but I'd say the next two albums are slightly better. None of them are all-time #1 material though, surely? Hmm, may have to relisten...

yup, two #1 votes.

With a few exceptions, this list has been mostly populated by a bunch of serious, unfun bullshit. Why does metal fans hate fun? Is fun false?

chuck didn't vote

There has been an Anthrax album. Isn't Anthrax fun?

For whom is the Anthrax fun? Perhaps for HI DEREs. For Johnny it is a place of fear and confusion.

johnny wanted more Poison,Motley Crue,Kix, Cinderella,Winger,Warrant, nelson,tesla,bon jovi etc

I voted for that Anthrax album, btw.

And I would NEVER vote for Winger.

Or Nelson.

Or Warrant.

Not because they're not fun, but because they're terrible.

What do you mean by serious, unfun bullshit?

This is the most fun Anthrax album, but I don't know if it was nommed:

^ is great!!

Was Sound of White Noise nommed? Used to like that one - more of a hard rock than a thrash record though.

What do you mean by serious, unfun bullshit?

Most of this poll's results are the metal equivalent of indie's current obsession with the likes of Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective, etc. Joyless, musician-y deliberate seriousness at the expense of any color. To which I say, pbbbbbbbbbbblttttttt!

NAME NAMES

johnny hasn't listened to metal for 20 years yet is surprised people have moved on?

I like Deftones. And, um, whoever's making thrash nowadays that sounds like vintage thrash.

retro johnny is the anti lj

and last one tonight..

from johnny's beloved 80s..

NAME NAMES

Well, what finally set me off were the two Earth albums in a row, then Isis and Godflesh. That's a perfect cross-section of the results as a whole, methinks. And again I say pbbbbbbbbbbblttttttt!

^ LJ's fave run so far

so you mean good music that hasn't been in any way indicative of this poll as a whole set you off on one

jesus wept

also Earth and Godflesh aren't in ANY WAY musician-y acts o_O

"Dig those chops! That guy just played his third chord this minute!"

I'm just saying that if I wanted to put myself in a good mood and the choice of album was between Streetcleaner and Out of the Cellar, I would go with the latter 1000 out of 1000 times.

Is Godflesh vs Ratt really a relevant argument?
