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

my best guess for 20 albums that may be in the top 35 or so (alphabetically ordered):

Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Black Sabbath - s/t
Black Sabbath - Vol IV
Burzum - Filosofem
Converge - Jane Doe
Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky
Electric Wizard - Come My Fanatics
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Eyehategod - Take As Needed For Pain
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Guns’n’Roses - Appetite For Destruction
Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
Kyuss - Blues For The Red Sun
Led Zeppelin - IV
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Metallica - Metallica (The Black Album)
Metallica - Ride The Lightning
Slayer - Reign in Blood
The Stooges - Funhouse

Oh, I'm very happy to see something new on here. I just meant that, even though I've not heard a lot of these albums - I'd at least heard OF everything on here until I got to Manilla Road.

SPOOOOOOOOOOKY

oh no wait

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME

You can add Boris - Pink to that list, making it 21.

xps

ok, how many socks voted?

tr00. what else?

xp

you really think the Black Album will place that high? it always seemed to me like the metal cru on ILM hates that album so much that it kind of drowns out how huge and ubiquitous it is/was.

how many black (metal) pairs of socks?

i voted for it. *ducks*

most of the votes came from non rolling metal thread regulars btw. They would never have voted for raw power f'rinstance

36 Sleep · Holy Mountain (1993) (770 Points, 19 votes)

NIIIIIIIIIIICE

I really hope the Black album doesn't place. Four Metallica albums deserved a spot in the top 100, but that wasn't one of them.

35 Yob · Catharsis (2003) (770 Points, 20 votes - ONE #1)

I think this was the YOB album I voted for

How many fucking albums does this one band have?!

That was the Yob album I cut at the very end.

Ilxor, not enough!

Stooges are a little bit more ilx canon than the Black Album. not saying i'll die of shock if it shows up, but usually whenever the subject comes up i feel like one of the album's only defenders.

jesus, yob-mania, who knew? herman, are you sure you aren't just posting your own ballot?

thats why stooges placed so high, cuz ilx canon non metal dudes voted for it

over to japan now

Lester Bangs coined the phrase "heavy metal" and said that Raw Power was the greatest heaavy metal album ever, ergo quiet down pfunkboy

39 Darkthrone · Transilvanian Hunger (1994) (701 Points, 15 votes - ONE #1 vote)

TOO LOW

I just realised I think I voted Back In Black as my #1 vote just because I couldn't be arsed to order my ballot so just did it A-Z.

isn't that 80 mins of buzzing xxp

Lester Bangs coined the phrase "heavy metal"

according to chuck it was actually "Metal" Mike Saunders who coined it.

What's with all the fucking Yob & Boris albums? Maybe I wouldn't ask this question if I'd heard any.

xp yeah I'm too young to know for sure...

btw, awesome that Blessed Black Wings cracked the top 50...

is this a visit by colonel drinkypoo?

I like Yob and Slough Feg, but they are seriously overrepresented.

33 Electric Wizard · Come My Fanatics (1997) (787 Points, 19 votes - TWO #1 votes)

I assure you I have no idea what you're talking about

It is then!

Can someone explain to me what's supposed to be good about Manila Road please?

I tried to find that out in the Listening Club and got nowhere. Best explanation was lots of cool people like it and claim it as an influence.

If you don't like Manilla Road, there's something wrong with you.

Seriously, they're the only band I've checked out on either poll so far that has left me scratching my head as to their appeal. Others haven't been my cup of tea, but they sound like a very cheap parody band to me.

Perhaps the godliest euro doom album of the last 15 years

that's how it's seen as by many, i mean

jj is a big fan

i voted for it but about #45 or something

#48 in fact

that album is so so awesome

Would love to know if it was euros or americans voting for it. Are they well known in the USA outside of the stoner/doom scene?

Bit sludgy for me, but they have a truly excellent name.

one of their albums comes with a sticker saying "The Biggest Sellouts In Doom"
lol
their last ever single got to #1 in Finland(their home country)
