and I will be really sad if I turn out to be the only voter who gives it 30 points

i'm voting for it. thanks for reminding me.

Why would you expect P&J voters to vote for bob seger as #1 album in 2010?
Good taste, maybe? (Okay, maybe too much to ask.)
― xhuxk, Saturday, 11 December 2010 20:04 (thirteen years ago) link
haha it is the P&J!
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Saturday, 11 December 2010 20:06 (thirteen years ago) link
I suppose it would make a change from indie landfill or the big mainstream pop/rock. Everyone vote bob seger as #1 in a protest vote!

If Chris Bohn's opening on-air remarks on Resonant FM the other night are anything to go by, then The Wire's Rewind 2010 #1 is ACTRESS - Splazsh! Big ups all around IMHO...

kinda want to hear that ov hell album now.
― scott seward, Sunday, 12 December 2010 02:34 (thirteen years ago) link
and hating on van canto is too easy. they are...something. i mean, they DO have some sort of vision. there are records that are spectacularly bad. but they're a spectacle as music group.
― scott seward, Sunday, 12 December 2010 02:38 (thirteen years ago) link
i like the best list though! superior album covers too. i want to hear a bunch on there. phil might be crazy, but he's got some good picks on there for a pantera fan.
― scott seward, Sunday, 12 December 2010 02:42 (thirteen years ago) link
That Ov Hell album isn't really awful, just plain boring. Its like black metal by numbers.

nice to see a list with the Chrissie Hynde record on it, it's got some killer tunes. also appreciate learning that Meat oaf released an album called "Hang Cool Teddy Bear" this year apparently.

haw, no i haven't. and apparently it's where the ROCK '70s/'80s went to die--sure seems to be gettin' mighty ripe around about there, too.

lol the one album in there I have been loudly stanning for since late summer ('Steeple' by Wolf People) they get the band and title backwards :(
― Princess BigSam (DJ Mencap), Sunday, 12 December 2010 18:55 (thirteen years ago) link
These are both good (in fact, Ratt's album has shown up on a couple other lists I've seen, incuding Phil's metal one):
26. Heart - Red Velvet Car20. Ratt - Infestation
But the FM who made Metropolis (#24) unfortunately turn out to not to be the same keyboard-heavy Canadian guitarless AOR/pomp power-trio who put out City Of Fear in 1980, but rather some British people.
― xhuxk, Sunday, 12 December 2010 19:26 (thirteen years ago) link
this is actually my fave album by FM, but its kinda hard to find.

the old FM.
Good old Classic Rock. You always know where you are with a Classic Rock list.

1970?
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Sunday, 12 December 2010 22:45 (thirteen years ago) link
8. Jim Jones Revue - Burning your House Down
Good to see this turn up somewhere, it's a blast and massively underrated, if a bit hammy in places.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 12 December 2010 22:49 (thirteen years ago) link
It's not quite up there with Classic Rock's list from 2008:
10. Motley Crue - Saints Of Los Angeles9. Journey - Revelation8. Big Linda - I Loved You7. Whitesnake - Good To Be Bad6. Def Leppard - Songs From The Sparkle Lounge5. Airbourne - Runnin' Wild4. Black Stone Cherry - Folklore & Superstition3. Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy2. Metallica - Death Magnetic1. AC/DC - Black Ice
^^^ Does exactly what is says on the tin.

Whitesnake!!!!
― seandalai, Sunday, 12 December 2010 22:56 (thirteen years ago) link
Honestly willing to believe that Classic Rock list is better than most of the lists we've seen on this thread.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 12 December 2010 23:02 (thirteen years ago) link
As long as you need ever hear any of the albums?
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Sunday, 12 December 2010 23:03 (thirteen years ago) link
One of my favorite's of the year is on that Classic Rock list. In fact, the album I'm voting #1 in the metal poll is on it.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 12 December 2010 23:04 (thirteen years ago) link
i like that the classic rock list doesnt feel the need to incorporate albums outside its milieu just because theyre critically acclaimed. no kanye, no arcade fire, no bullshit
― lotta diamonds ... but prolly more display names (deej), Sunday, 12 December 2010 23:07 (thirteen years ago) link
lol that Hold Steady fits perfectly in that list. Wonder why the Walkmen and the National arent jockeying for posish too
― da puppier (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 12 December 2010 23:10 (thirteen years ago) link
I've written for Classic Rock for about seven years (I'm mainly their go to guy for "mad stuff" like The Fall) and if I voted for albums outside its milieu (say Fabric55 by Shackleton for the LOLs) they would probably consider it a sacking offence. Quite right too.

Xhuxk OTM about the Heart album!!!!! It soundtracked my 1,000 trips to the storage unit during our move this summer, and the 999 trips back.

Soon going to have to do a list of my top 101 albums of the year, many of which are unsurprisingly not here. LOL do people still read blogs?

If viacom hadn't removed all The State's MTV skits from youtube, the "Slash" sketch would have been a nice video right about here.
