i expected shouts of too low

TOO FUCKING LOW YOU CHUMPS

muthafuckaaas! Dang, a few minutes too late.

can I just say, there is very little on this Earth that will get me to check out a band named Fudge Tunnel

(and yes I knew they existed before this poll)

they're a great band, dan!

dan, can you Please change the thread title to let ez snappin and the rest of ILM that the top 100 countdown is starting and that It's a GAPDYX free zone?

I feel like Bullhead deserves a de-luxe 20th anniversary edition or something. Awesome album.

how's that

I'm listening to Slough Feg. The vocals may take a bit of getting used to, but I can see myself becoming a fan for sure. Also they are named after a 2000 AD character.

Yes Dan, I will still be leaving Fudge Tunnel and Been Caught Buttering well alone.

hmmm

you are missing a brilliant band if you dont listen to fudge tunnel (they are not dm or grind or anything. Kinda alt-sludge.

the title's hitting the character limit so entering anything about GAPDYX had to be positive

that's my story and I'm sticking to it

thread TITLE needs a NO GAPDYX! (which is less than eternal gapdyx)

I think I knew Fudge Tunnel were alt-sludge, but if I'm going to listen to a band like that, it will have a name like "Lard" or "Godflesh" and not "Fudge Tunnel"

Bullhead is still available with Boner's original master, which sounds puny and weak when I mix it in with all of Melvins' later stuff. I'm not saying it should be clipped, but the difference is so bad my auto playback volume level is useless.

Yeah. there are totally sludge options.

you are missing a brilliant band if you dont listen to fudge tunnel

NEW BOARD DESCRIPTION

RIGHT NOW

(And I'm with Dan, I would never willingly check out a band called Fudge Tunnel.)

LOOKS LIKE hENRY IS NOT AVAILABLE YET.
So shall i wait 10 mins or just post #100?

Post it now.

POST IT NOW, you can check Pfork later, I promise.

IT BEGINS

;)

LJ needs to listen to Black Sabbath.

ilxor you have made a mess of the 1st post. didnt you save it then post to tinypic?

LJ go listen to EVERY Black Sabbath album in chronological order NOW. They're all on spotify.

Nope. Sorry. I can make it again if you want to do that, though!

xp

yeah! Then a mod can fix it!

What is GAPDYX please?

it's an acronym for the hot critical darling bands of 2009:

Grizzly Bear
Animal Collective
Phoenix
Dirty Projectors
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
XX

it really has nothing to do with this poll

ryan pitchfork had all 6 in his P&J ballot iirc. ILXors got really pissed off with gapdy in every poll (they loved the xx)

too low fiends at the ready?

Mentioning this list of worthies:
Grizzly Bear
Animal Collective
Phoenix
Dirty Projectors
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
XX

... in the same breath as a behemoth like Sabotage is heartbreaking.

really that is no way to get me to listen to Black Sabbath, now is it? give it time

bill otm

eh, legacy aside I am MUCH more likely to play YYYs or XX than Black Sabbath

the other 4 can go jump in a lake tho

TOO LOW!!!!!!!

as was discussed over in the "Modern Metal" thread or whatever it is called, it's a common theme that this album is hugely influential on all that came after.

bill, get your hankies, you're gonna cry.
