hahahahaha

i will never understand how anyone gets enjoyment of the xx, who should be the zz's as they are boring and make you slee.. zzzzzzzzz

Hello all. So, I see we have classic Sabbath and Motörhead records right here - did you decide to start with 1 and go up to 100? 'Cuz I could totally see these as 1 & 2, even if I didn't vote for either.

I voted for both Sabotage and Ace of Spades. Some discussion going on about them both here - What's the first modern metal album?

SABOTAGE WAY TOO LOW although I didn't actually vote for it thinking about it, but I should have for side 1 alone.

I want to like Drudkh but I don't.

How the hell do you pronounce Drudkh?

this is all very silly can we please get back to the metal you loons

but you don't like metal!

It's a huge shock coming btw

a very low entry

Most thought this would be a top tenner

BLACK ALBUM YESSSS

Metallica...

fuck I could have knocked 3 out the top 100

Wishful thinking on ilxors part methinks..

Load?

Reload??

But this albums low placing will please bill and EZ Snapping but not ismael and neil s

not as false as load/reload!

it did sell about as much as Metallica's black album...

infact it came out the same year

about right for a poll like this imo

Liked it a lot at the time, never need to hear it again

too high

i did enjoy the wishful thinking though

too high my arse

FAR too high. That better?

Even though I voted for it, it's fine where it is.

FAR too high.

Actually, yes, Kurt was far too high when he made this album...

Bleach was my highest-placed Nirvana album, I think appropriately for a metal poll.

Will Pearl Jam place higher with anything?

LJ, do you like Shrewsbury?

I love Nevermind, even though I haven't heard it in a few years. I think it's one of their better albums. But I didn't vote for it, because I thought it had no place in a metal poll.

Yeah, Bleach is the only Nirvana album that belongs in a poll like this. Nevermind was always going to show somewhere, though, so this is a reasonable placing. [n.b. I like both albums, I just don't think Nevermind is that heavy]

Nevermind is just as heavy as Sabotage fwiw

I've had reservations about the production, but no one was moved to veto it. Certainly heavier than MSP. I might be one of the few people who didn't much like it when it came out as I preferred Bleach, and about 40 other albums that came out in 1991, but over the years I had to admit I like it more and more.

I'm listening to Fudge Tunnel right now and it reminds me a lot of Bleach.

Fudge Tunnel were briefly touted as the UK's answer to Nirvana (Helmet would be a better comparison)

LOL at Nirvana placing in between Drudkh and Burning Witch.

Only on ILM...

Full album title is "Crippled Lucifer (Seven Psalms for Our Lord of Light)".

Burning Witch: Main Performer

Greg Anderson had left by then

Wow, these songs are slow and long!
