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

this list is severely lacking in KISS imo

REAL TALK

lol
xp quadruple lols

Metal is what I witnessed last night. Not Ulver. Not even close.

Bill did you vote for a slayer album made in the last 19 years?

My top Metallica album placed way low on this poll, but Master of Puppets at least has Orion - my #1 pick from the tracks poll - on it. I haven't listened to the record as a whole in years either, but I've had Damage Inc. floating around in and out of my head for a few days (amongst all this other metal!).

I didn't, but that's because I didn't double up all that much. I would stan for the newest one and Christ Illusion, though. xp

Hair metal for johnny

Glad we got Platter of Crumpets (er... Master of Puppets) out of the way already. That fucking album. Ugh.

Henry is waiting btw hes hungry.

Metallica, GnR... let's go ahead and clear out all those despicable touchstones.

Megadeth, anyone?

Appetite pretty much transcends hair metal, dudes. It's among the ALL TIME greats in popular music in general.

eh, I guess

It's only got three really good songs on it and one's a cover

Does your copy have three previously unheard bonus tracks, Dan??

:D

lol no, I am willing to back the singles off of that album

don't care about anything else

also willing to back the song "Master of Puppets" but other than that don't really care about that Metallica album either

master of puppets is great

Sad that St. Anger didn't show up. :(

yr actually trolling there so its ok

Interesting, 6 #1 votes and not even in the top 20 for Funhouse. A piss poor showing for the greatest rock album of any sort, light, heavy, soft, hard or metal. Makes me wonder if there are people who voted in the poll who never heard it.

Also surprised to see Master Of Puppets fail to make the top 5. Maybe it was overplayed and votes split with Ride The Lightning.

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath was indeed voted the first modern metal album - What's the first modern metal album?

I disagree, but I do think it is an awesome album, not just because it was first. It certainly measures up close to Sabbath's three other best albums which will apparently be ruling the top 20.

Appetite was my #2. Johnny's right btw.

17 Darkthrone · A Blaze in the Northern Sky (1992) (855 Points, 20 points - ONE #1 vote)

OK FUCK YOU PEOPLE

awesome

can someone do me a favor and list out which of the death/black metal guys are horrible racists and which ones aren't so I at least have some goalposts to go by as I investigate this stuff

never rly HEARD any Darkthrone, but awesome

Johnny, if Kix showed up, I don't think people would be saying "OK FUCK YOU PEOPLE"

because for real, I don't care how talented you are, if you are saying shit about me and mine you need to never see any of my money ever and hopefully one day you will be killed

xp: yeah don't be so sure about that

Dan, just avoid Burzum, Drudkh and Enslaved and you should be ok

never rly HEARD any Darkthrone, but awesome

How does that work?

dan this is about Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger

Some pressings have the phrase 'Norsk Arisk Black Metal' (Norwegian Aryan Black Metal), but due to the negative response of many distributors around the world,
that phrase was replaced by "True Norwegian Black Metal" in later pressings.

the reason I've never checked them out.

Yeah, my main complaint here was that we're in the top 20 now and earbreaking bullshit like this is being listed. I don't know their politics. Just that they sound like trash.

Drudkh arent racists apparently

didnt know enslaved were. "smithy" is a big fan of them (and darkthrone too i think)

I love that this poll is so fucked that we have to determine which bands are racists and which aren't.

so just avoid listening to LJ and ask someone who knows what they're talking about.

Avoid Graveland obviously, they are genuine NSBM.

Fuck Ian MacKaye.

johnny fever, is axl rose racist or homophobic? or racist and homophobic?

Metallica's music is so bad that they may as well be lumped in w/ the racists imho.

not sure why anyone should be surprised that the most highly regarded black metal and death metal albums are showing up near the top of a hardrock/metal poll

He's probably a little of both, or was at one point, but that was never a proud selling point of GNR. xps

BTW, Master Of Puppets was released March 3, 1986. The last day of recording was December 27, so no chance it was released in 1985.

btw Axl is why I'll never own a Guns 'N Roses album

also even though I love the albums I have by them, I've never bought a Jane's Addiction album after learning about the existence of "Whores" (never bought the first one, lol) so my inconsistency has a little bit of consistency

ok I read somewhere that Drudkh and Enslaved might be dodgy but this is looking RONG upon inspection

but yeah Burzum and Darkthrone you'll be wanting to avoid, Dan

i had to google the lyrics for that JA song, been a while since i heard that album. Some good stuff on it but yeah, that song.

I think darkthrone have denied being racists/nazis too fwiw
