Non-anglophone would rule out all of the reggae/dub/ska that was the start point of this hypothetical poll

True. So... not from the UK, US, or Western Europe?

Or if u cd AG post my ballot too plz?

Men At Work ftw xp

skull snaps was one of the most expensive collectible break records back in the '90s or whenever, wasn't it?

like the rarest most collectible shit before people really started digging into weirdo library records & stuff

skull snaps was one of the most expensive collectible break records back in the '90s or whenever, wasn't it?

so i've been told ..

and the fact is that the album is good ... but not that good !

not heard it

you would have if you were a funk fan

what are these emil.y?

Black Widow - Sacrifice
Las Grecas - Gipsy Rock
Laser Pace - Granfaloon

what about the placing of those Chrome albums hellhouse/EIII?

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, March 28, 2013 6:03 PM (3 hours ago)

predictable, unlike everything else in this poll

thx for the wild ride, dude

it was the greatest of pleasures and I hope everyone finds new albums on it for a long while to come! Im sure I will.

what are these emil.y?

Etron Fou Leloublan - Batelages

French rock-in-opposition outfit, avant-garde satirists and weirdos. Friends with Henry Cow, iirc.

Black Widow - Sacrifice

Leicester's finest occult rock outfit. If you didn't catch it placing in the tracks poll, be sure to check out 'Come to the Sabbat'.

Las Grecas - Gipsy Rock

Spanish, female-fronted, light-ish rock-pop? Recommended by Johnny Fever a few years ago, it's a pretty charming record.

Laser Pace - Granfaloon

Oddball psych w/ touch of prog, there's a thread on ilx where I believe skott introduced everyone to it, and I think ilx may have been somehow involved with it getting a re-release? It's excellent, anyway, and probably the one out of these four I'd most recommend (though obviously I'd recommend them all, I voted for them).

I'm assuming the EFLel's are not on Spotify?

I'm not on spotify, so I dunno!

pop in http://plug.dj/ilxors/ ppl be going through faves from the poll now (and usual weirdo stuff)

Etron Fou Leloublan - Batelages

spotify:album:18PCzvSkP3L9JKykNfsO7Z

about to play that black widow track in plug btw

AG can you send me my ballot?

I know what I voted for but lost my rankings in an unfortunate sorting incident

also you should do a 60s poll so I can vote for monster movie

ONLY MALCOLM MOONEY IS REAL

meant to do an unweighted ballot but i think i blew it before submitting. i also regret having voted for satori, it feels like the dumbest #1 ever.

btw i still say id do a 60s poll first but there would eventually be a 90s rock poll for those wanting one. Maybe late on in year, if not def next year. it all depends on timing.

what won

bay city rollers

otm lads, otm

Here's the final full spotify playlist:

ta

lol who that fucj are all these bands, lol ilx

see yis again for the 60's one

very satisfying poll from beginning to end. hugely informative and sure to provide many new revelations well into the future. also, gratifying to see a lot of my favourites get their dues.

otm charlie ...

idk, there's basically no *rock* pre-65 in the sense these polls are structured so i'm fine with skipping the 60s poll myself.

it would be an all genre 60s poll

tho obviously people can choose to vote for the most rock if they want. the 70s poll was supposed to be a 65-79 poll but people complained saying they wanted a separate 60s poll afterwards.

did you enjoy the poll stirmonster? did all your ballot place?

also lol @ d-mac

i think if you incorporated english folk, electric blues, garage, surf and other stuff (maybe free jazz and early fusion?) that feeds into this poll (and the 80s one to some degree) you've got plenty of stuff to do a sixties poll easy w/o having to open it up to all of pop and either having to deal w/ so much canon. maybe restrict the folk and jazz to stuff that clearly had an impact on rock.

that or go the 'no major labels, no elektra, no stax, no motown' route suggested earlier.

yes, AG, very much. probably as much as the 80s one even though i was away while a lot of this one rolled out.

that slapp happy album sure proved popular

I don't think I said too low once during the rollout. I even held my tongue with Master Of Reality, as I didn't want to give away any hint of how its nemesis Vol 4 kicked the shit out of it with unnecessary roughness.

Because these, THESE are TOO. FUCKING. LOW.
