DAMN THE CANON! It's the Alternate 1970s Albums Poll on ILX — Nominations Thread (Due by 11:59pm GMT, December 7th)

ILX has polled the ‘70s before, and it was reasonably successful. A lot of albums that always populate lists of this type were represented. The order they were represented in may or may not be agreeable five years later, but most of them are there. THIS POLL is not a complete redo, rather an ALTERNATE gathering of albums that represent a deeper, more interesting decade than the one always portrayed in these lists. Everything that ranked in the top 100 of the original poll is off limits for nomination this time. Houses of the Holy? Gone. There’s a Riot Goin’ On? Not this time. Grievous Angel? Try again.

Now you don’t have to waste valuable ballot space voting for albums that we already know we love. This is your chance to do a little more crate digging and make a rich and diverse list of nominees. Even better, the top 10 or 20 (or the entire list, for that matter) shouldn’t be predictable in any way.

Wow us with your personal favorites during the nomination process. Damn the canon!

Various artists compilations and best-of/greatest hits collections are eligible, provided they were originally arranged and released between 1970 and 1979. ALSO, EP'S ARE ELIGIBLE. If they're not accounted for here, then where amirite?

Joni Mitchell - The Hissing of Summer Lawns

Oh wait, first of all: how many can each of us nominate (or is it unlimited)?

Unlimited.

The only two albums in that top 100 I'd nominate anyway are Chairs Missing and 154! I mean, I love a whole load of 'em, but those are the only two I'd feel the need to nominate.

Magazine - Real Life
Magazine - Secondhand Daylight
Captain Beyond - s/t
Yes - The Yes Album
Yes - Close To The Edge
Yes - Relayer
XTC - Drums And Wires
Soft Machine - Third
Faust - Faust IV
Joe Jackson - I'm The Man
Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
Ultravox! - Ultravox!
Ultravox! - Ha! Ha! Ha!
Ultravox! - Systems Of Romance
Van Der Graaf Generator - Still Life
Van Der Graaf Generator - H to He Who Am The Only One
Van Der Graaf Generator - Godbluff
Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts
Van Der Graaf Generator - The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome

...and...

Vivian Stanshall - Sir Henry At Rawlinson End

joni mitchell - hejira
fleetwood mac - tusk
fleetwood mac - s/t
joao gilberto - s/t (white album)
caetano veloso - araca azul
curtis mayfield - curtis
brian eno - before and after science
stevie wonder - fulfillingness' first finale
gal costa - india
steely dan - aja
steely dan - katy lied
harry nilsson - nilsson sings newman
harry nisson - nilsson schmilsson
flatlanders - more a legend than a band
neil young - zuma
al green - the belle album
al green - i'm still in love with you
harmonia - deluxe
neu! - neu! 75
beach boys - sunflower
gilberto gil - refazenda
dr. buzzard's original savannah band - s/t
chic - c'est chic
sly & the family stone - fresh

I don't totally understand the aim of this. Are you discouraging the nomination of big obvious albums that somehow missed the first poll (like, say, Who's Next), or are those fair game along with the more obscure stuff?

The Pop Group - Y
Magma - Udu Wudu
James Chance & the Contortions - Buy
X Ray Spex - Germ Free Adolescents

more to come

Iggy Pop - The Idiot
Carla Bley - Escalator Over the Hill
Siouxsie & the Banshees - Join Hands
Teenage Jesus & the Jerks - Everything

xp If it didn't make the final 100 the first time around, it's up for grabs this time (regardless of how popular it is). For the most part, though, this list will end up populated with less familiar, more interesting albums. The goal isn't obscurity. Just downplaying familiarity.

OK, cool.

The Who - Who's Next
Little Feat - Sailing Shoes
Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
The Cars - The Cars
War - All Day Music
Steely Dan - The Royal Scam
Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger
Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy
Queen - Queen
Prince - Prince

Everything looks like it was a comp assembled and released in 1995. Is this right? RYM shows a 7-song compilation from 1979 that's self-titled. xxxp

Whatever the 1979 one is. or could we just go with:

V/A - No New York

Queen: Queen II
10cc: How Dare You?
Klaatu: Hope
Genesis: A Trick Of The Tail

So all of John Cale's 70s albums EXCEPT "Paris 1919" are viable for this? Cause I'd have to nominate Fear / Slow Dazzle / Helen Of Troy / Sabatoge Live.

satwa- satwa
meic stevens- outlander
witch- lazy bones

I like this kind of party! If polling obscure 70s albums is wrong, I don't want to be right. Many thanks Johnny Fever. Good thing I arranged my iPod by year.

Here are some just from 1971. I had to go back and recheck some of these three or four times because I couldn't believe they were still eligible. Like Who's Next. Or Every Picture Tells A Story. Now, I appreciate Kraftwerk as much as the next dude, but how could some of these not make it the first time around? It's like, gag me with a spoon, people!

RYM shows two '70s albums with "Drumming" in the title. Which one? Or both?

what's a ruling on 1970s recordings that were released later? Aside from I Am the Cosmos, I'm also thinking of the King Crimson Great Deceiver box set

If you couldn't walk into a store somewhere and buy it in the '70s, it can't count here.

Herbie Hancock - Headhunters
Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame
Stevie Wonder - Music of My Mind

(Unless it had been scheduled for released as-is, but was shelved... is that the case with I Am the Cosmos? I can't remember. This caveat would apply to Dennis Wilson's second album too, I guess.)

(actually scratch that Fairouz. The one I want is vol. 2 and it didn't come out until the 80s I think.)

We're at 465 nominations already. Yeah, for real.

At this point, I'm going to institute a 15 nomination limit per person. Is that okay?

It's a little late for that, but then again you're the one doing the work.

It's cool, I guess I can handle it if they keep coming like they have (but I suspect they'll die down a little if people Ctrl+F what's here already).

Kevin Ayers - Shooting at the Moon

I'd say the same thing about the Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge album.

ithaca - a game for all who know
agincourt - fly away

relatively clean rivers

I'd say the same thing about the Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge album.

a fair point.

I only got around to hearing that album last spring, but it's never been out of rotation for very long since then. It's immaculate.

Okay, that Mother's Finest album is pretty rad.

Bryan Ferry - These Foolish Things
ZZ Top - Tres Hombres
Merle Haggard - Let Me Tell You About A Song

you only got one to go!

Nah, everybody can keep going. I should've thought it out before I decided on unlimited nominations, though. This list is going to be gigantic and people will miss things when it's time to vote, I'm sure of it.

it's OK, in 4 years we'll do the alternate alternate poll to cover anything that gets snubbed this time

Terry Riley - In C
Terry Riley - A Rainbow in Curved Air
The Damned - Damned Damned Damned
The Adverts - Crossing the Red Sea with The Adverts

this poll is gonna rule.

vangelis - earth
vangelis - heaven and hell
vangelis - the dragon
vangelis - spiral

probably more vangelis albums belong here, those are just my faves

also-
tangerine dream - phaedra
tangerine dream - zeit
peter baumann - trans harmonic nights

i will think of muuuuch more soon

Good call on the Ian Dury, jabba.

Last Poets - Last Poets
Gil Scott-Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

Fela Kuti - Sorrow, Tears, & Blood

The O'Jays - Backstabbers

tangerine dream - stratosfear

(assume phaedra and rubycon will soak up all the votes anyway)

vangelis - opera sauvage

Toots & The Maytels - Funky Kingston
Lee "Scratch" Perry & The Upsetters - Super Ape
Prince Far I - Message From The King
Augustus Pablo - King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown
Minnie Riperton - Come To My Garden
Minnie Riperton - Perfect Angel

The Augustus Pablo was in the original 100.

oh my bad. i ctrl+f'd it and it didn't come up.

571 nominations so far. Crazy.

Martyn, John - Bless The Weather

Does ...For The Whole World To See by Death count as 70s album? If so, that. Pretty good chance of a high placing, I'd have thought.

Who's heard it though?

Lots of people on this thread:

Since it's probably the best rock record that's going to come out this year: Death (detroit proto punk not metal band) - "...For The Whole World To See" Thread

Yes, but enough for it to do well in this poll?

If Chris Bell counts, Death can count.

Fine, whatever.

Mark Fry – Dreaming With Alice
Black Randy & The Metrosquad – Pass The Dust, I Think I’m Bowie
The Germs – GI

Ok fair enough. But excluding it on the grounds of "would enough people vote for it to do well in this poll?" is a bit ridiculous.

Thanks anyway though (xpost).

Who said anything about excluding anything?

I got the impression that you were saying that not many people had heard it, therefore it won't do well in the poll, so what's the point in including it.

No no, I was a bit taken aback when you said it had a good chance of a high placing, that's all

Oh ok, fair enough. I would've placed it pretty highly, fwiw.

I put it in the master list anyway, nate.

Tim Buckley - Lorca
Simple Minds - Real to Real Cacophony
Chrome - Half Machine Lip Moves
Chrome - Alien Soundtracks
MX-80 Sound - Hard Attack
Faust - The Faust Tapes
Mellow Candle - Swaddling Songs
Sun Ra - Space Is The Place
McCoy Tyner - Extentions
Bill Fay - Time of the Last Persecution
Henry Cow - Unrest
Alternative TV - The Image Has Cracked
Cabaret Voltaire - Mix-Up
Peter Hammill - Fool's Mate
Peter Hammill - Over

So many albums on this list, quite possibly the top 50 will all have number one votes, and nothing else.

It'll sort itself (hopefully).

Dr Alimantado - The Best Dressed Chicken in Town
Frank Zappa - Apostrophe

If this master list gets to 1,000, I'm cutting it off early.

(It's at 663 right now, btw.)

PIL - First Edition then.

Also:

Can't Stand The Rezillos

um....

coven - witchcraft destroys minds and reaps souls

^and kisses goats

Crass - The Feeding of the 5000

(lol, the Coven nomination was #666.)

(but wait, it came out in '69... oh well.)

dangit

bill withers - live at carnegie hall

"Radioactivity" by Kraftwerk should also be in there.

It's already been mentioned, but I'm going to rep hard for Bowie's "Alladin Sane", a massively underrated album.
Also, if live albums count, the Dame's "David Live" AKA "David Live at The Tower Philadelphia".
And also Fox's self titled debut LP.

Man it is super-weird to me that two Kraftwerk albums placed highly last time and "Autobahn" wasn't there at all, but if I can give it a big fat vote this time then it's all OK (even if this might defeat the original intention of this poll to dig up obscurities)

(I hope we get a lot of votes - getting the 80s poll down to 30 was tough and if there's gonna be a shortlist of over 700...)

Some nominations:
King Crimson - Red
Giorgio Moroder - From Here to Eternity (LP)
Black Devil Disco Club - s/t
10cc - Sheet Music
Mort Garson - Plantasia

Thanks!

These were also obviously not in the original Top 100:
Genesis: Foxtrot
Genesis: Selling England By The Pound

it's all OK (even if this might defeat the original intention of this poll to dig up obscurities)

Well, again, digging up obscurities isn't the whole intent. Just a happy byproduct. I'm really starting to worry, as pointed out above, that half the list will be a 50-way tie with 1 place votes only.

This poll is going to be a bit of a sausage party. Can we try to get more women/female performers in here?

The Best of - Carly Simon
Hotcakes - Carly Simon

All for that.

The first Pretenders album was apparently released in 1979 in the UK? Dunno if that counts.

I'm really starting to worry, as pointed out above, that half the list will be a 50-way tie with 1 place votes only.

^ Don't have ordered ballots then, just give everything 1 point.

RYM has one 1979 listing for Germany, but everything else there is 1980 and ALL of the listings on Discogs say 1980. Feels like a cheat to include it.

Fair enough. : )

Don't have ordered ballots then, just give everything 1 point.

It's a possibility. People really like weighting votes, though.

The Units - High Pressure Days EP

1. YES
2. where were you to vote for the Units album in the 80s poll ;_;
3. totally psyched to hear the reissue but made the mistake of Christmas-wishlisting it so now I can't just buy it for myself

sorry, back to your scheduled alternative 70s chat

xxp Believe me, I was bummed there was no Pretenders showing in the '80s poll. If I could legitimately cram it into this list, I would.

Okay, who the heck are the Units?

This poll is going to be a bit of a sausage party. Can we try to get more women/female performers in here?

Nico, "Desertshore"?

All Tomorrow's Sausage Parties

There are definitely a few, but it looks like it's working out to a relatively small percentage. I realize that lots of female performers in the 1970s had more recognizable singles than albums, but it's worth trying to stretch our brains to find the classic albums that are out there.

xp

Way ahead of you on that one.

Heart - Dreamboat Annie
Heart - Little Queen

2. where were you to vote for the Units album in the 80s poll ;_;

I slept on the whole thing entirely, lame altho I was super busy for a lot of the month just gone

Might it ultimately be less of a headache to limit everyone to nominating a certain number of albums? Like ten or something? I know that's gonna be a bitch with ppl who typed out like 50 of the damn things but tbh I looked at their list and kinda thought "come on play fair"

Sorry did I say 50, I meant *154* in the case of "MumblesTheRevelator"

"154" - has that been nominated yet?

I came to that conclusion somewhere in the middle of the thread as it currently stands (a limit of 15), but it would be so buried that no one would ever see it. All they would see is the "Unlimited." post at the very top. xxp

lol 154 (it was in the original poll btw)

The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Music From The Motion Picture

Whensit close?

xp it's already in there ("Various Artists" was the most workable categorization)

Whensit close? 14 Dec or 1000 nominations. Which ever comes first.

Okay, who the heck are the Units?

Short answer is some Devo-esque synthpunks, though I'm sure someone more eloquent could do them more justice. Or I'll let them do it themselves with an audio-only youtube.
(prob their best track and the lead track of DJM's nomination, though this is iirc the rerecorded version from their 1980 LP should anyone feel pedantic)

Sorry for (mostly) off-topic, again

i have a couple more noms--

Hugh Masekela - I Am Not Afraid
Sumeria - Golden Tears
Jan Hammer Group - Melodies
Bumblebee Unlimited - Sting Like a Bee
Alan Parsons Project - I, Robot
Gilberto Gil & Jorge Ben - Gil e Jorge
Linda Lewis - Fathoms Deep

Looking at that list, the ones I'm going to be voting for are the most canonical things on it - everyman's got to be allowed to vote too, but I feel like that's defeating the purpose rather.

I was giving a bit of thought to avoiding the 50-way tie, I think this might work:
- allow a very large list of votes each (say 50 or more)
- ordered 50-1 or whatever (maybe a bit extra for the top few positions)
- plus a fifty-point premium for getting on a list at all

I always feel like broadly-popular-but-nobody's-absolute-favourite records lose out in these polls. Tuomas's worked very well.

i.e. an album gets the premium each time it gets a vote - effectively the points would be 100-51 on each ballot

So, like, if there are two ballots with "Grateful Dead - American Beauty" on them, but on one ballot it's #20 and on another ballot it's #15, then they're scored as 30+50 for 80 points and 35+50 for 85 points for a total of 165 points?

Not sure I understand the benefit of a premium. 65 points w/o premiums or 165 with them.

I do

It means that two sets of votes that list an album lowdown is worth more than one voter who lists the album highly. Or, smooths it out a bit.

Oh okay, I get it now.

Lydia Lunch - Queen of Siam

Re: Gil e Jorge (been nominated twice thus far). From what I can tell based on RYM and Discogs is that Ogum Xangô is the name of the album as it was first issued, and has subsequently been retitled Gil e Jorge for all its reissues. Does anyone know if this is right?

Dave Holland - Conference of the Birds
Univers Zero - Heresie
Area - Crac!
Thad Jones & Mel Lewis - Consummation
Pharoah Sanders - Black Unity (Not entirely sure -- perhaps i prefer Summun..., ah well)
Betty Carter - The Audience With Betty Carter
McCoy Tyner - Sahara (Haven't actually listened to this in years, but I used to love the hell out of it -- need to revisit!)

Yes, certain that Gil e Jorge and Ogum Xangô are one and the same - I had been confused as to why my copy had that other title on it too. Would love to know what 'ogum xangô' actually means.

thx.

x-post my copy (cd on verve) has gil e jorge on the spine and front, but there is the ogum xangô cover as liner notes iirc

i think xangô is monkey! if portuguese is anything like spanish (chango!)

actually it appears to be mythlogical characters

Jackson Browne - Late For The Sky
Jackson Browne - Jackson Browne (debut)
Jackson Browne - Running On Empty

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Damn The Torpedoes
Van Morrison - Saint Dominic's Preview
The Scruffs - Wanna Meet The Scruffs?
The Dead Boys - Young, Loud & Snotty
Gene Clark - Roadmaster

Hey spacecadet, thanks for the info on the Units, I don't even think I had even heard of them until today.

Pink Floyd - The Wall

If nominations are unlimited, why have nominations at all? Why don't we just go straight to voting? Will this somehow make tabulation easier?

Yes.

Hi guyz. I wasn't sure which items this would benefit most, so in a fit of aspie work-timewasting with Excel I ran Tuomas's 80s poll results through it. Results are on the 80s thread, here:
Now this is how it started: THE ILX 1980s ALBUM POLL RESULTS!!

People who hate big lists with numbers should not click that link.

(Was gonna put the .xls on google docs, but it won't upload, possibly because I wanted to keep the worksheet functions in so other people could fiddle with tweaking the bonus and sorting it too if they so desired)

I guess it will be easier to tabulate the votes, but it looks like tabulating the nominations while verifying eligibility and eliminating duplicates will be a huge pain in the you know what.

If it's a free vote then each person ordering/punctuating/spelling titles slightly differently will make tabulation a pain, whereas if there's a "shortlist" (uhh) to work from and copy/paste from it'd be a lot easier to automate.

But, more importantly to me, the self-centred voter, I'd never remember everything I wanted to vote for in a free vote, but a list lets people go "oh yeah, that one's awesome". There's a bunch of stuff on this thread that I wouldn't have remembered but will definitely vote for.

(So arguably just talking about it does the job, but the incentive of "official nominations thread" makes people a bit more inclined to post and to include things which might otherwise seem too obvious to bother discussing, I suppose.)

Parliament - Osmium
Amon Duul II - Yeti
Carole King - Tapestry

Hmmmm. Not sure about that 50 point bonus mechanism. That rewards broad popularity instead of intense love.

What is more valuable, a record that is deeply cherished by a smaller amount of people, or a record that more people like, but not necessarily love?

I dunno, I'd have to look it up in Record Collector.

Klaus Schulze - Cyborg

I feel weird about Chronicle Vol. 1 being nominated, since most of the material on there is from the 1960s and the songs that aren't were already nominated as part of Cosmo's Factory. Chronicle is just a 5-star top-to-bottom kind of album, so I can't imagine it not picking up huge numbers of votes.

I mean, it falls within Johnny Fever's criteria for compilations, so if it's cool with him, it's cool with me.

I don't think any of these have been nominated yet:

The Meters Look-Ka Py Py (1970)
The Meters Rejuvenation (1974)
WAR The World Is a Ghetto (1972)

Hmmmm. Not sure about that 50 point bonus mechanism. That rewards broad popularity instead of intense love.

Yeah, I agree with this. I'd rather have a list where I'm finding new treasures, rather than popular choices that weren't quite good enough to crack the top 100.

is townes van zandt's self-titled album 70s? i thought it was '69

Herman - Dr. John's "Gris Gris" is from the 60s.

And finally-- does anyone know if Pere Ubu actually released an EP of the first four singles in the 70s...?

Think everything I'd vote for has been nominated apart from:

Claude Denjean - Moog! Claude Denjean and the Moog Synthesiser
Nilsson - Aerial Pandemonium Ballet
Nilsson - A little touch of Schmillsson in the night
Nina Simone - Here Comes the Sun
Nina Simone - Emergency Ward
Sister Sledge - We are Family
Candi Staton - Young Hearts Run Free

btw I think Damn the Canon would be a great name for a band.

Yes, it was called "Datapanik in the year zero" and it was on Radar records, UK.

Dyan the Canon

xpost haha fuck yes! Therefore:

Pere Ubu- Datapanik In The Year Zero EP

and also

Richard And Linda Thompson- Pour Down Like Silver

Oh shit oh shit how can I forget!!!

Aphrodite's Child- 666

I feel weird about Chronicle Vol. 1 being nominated,

Yes. Maybe there should be a rule: Greatest hits records shouldn't count if the material is available on previously released albums. The exception should be for records like Singles Going Steady and Louder Than Bombs, which compile a bunch of 45s in one place for the first time.

Okay, here's my nominations:

Donny Hathaway - Extension of a Man (1973)
Curtis Mayfield - Do It All Night (1978)
Herbie Hancock - Mwandishi (1970)
Leon Thomas - The Leon Thomas Album (1970)

Pharoah Sanders - Jewels of Thought (1970)
Pharoah Sanders - Deaf Dumb Blind (Summun Bukmun Umyun) (1970)

Hmmmm. Not sure about that 50 point bonus mechanism. That rewards broad popularity instead of intense love.

Having compared and contrasted both sets of 1980s album results, I agree: the method which Tuomas used works better. Otherwise you end up with "yeah, quite like this" mid-placings being given undue prominence, which makes for a more predictable and less, um, passionate list.

Janis Ian - Between the Lines

If there is any room left for these:

Arthur Blythe: Lenox Avenue Breakdown
David Bowie: ChangesOneBowie (the 1976 release not the 1990 ChangesBowie release)
Chic: Risque
Eric Clapton: 461 Ocean Boulevard
Miles Davis: Agharta
Bob Dylan/The Band: Before the Flood
The Insect Trust: Hoboken Saturday Night
Lynyrd Skynyrd: Street Survivors
Joni Mitchell: For the Roses
Dolly Parton: Best of Dolly Parton (RCA 1975)
Bonnie Raitt: Give It Up
Bonnie Raitt: Home Plate

a few from the minimal canon:

phill niblock - nothing to look at just a record
tony conrad & faust - outside the dream syndicate
steve reich - four organs / phase patterns
charlemagne palestine - four manifestations on six elements

other thoughts...

penguin cafe orchestra - music from the penguin cafe
joni mitchell - don juan's reckless daughter
can - flow motion
can - soon over babaluma

Tangerine Dream - Electronic Meditation
Tangerine Dream - Alpha Centauri
Tangerine Dream - Zeit
Tangerine Dream - Atem
Tangerine Dream - Phaedra
Tangerine Dream - Rubycon
Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear
Tangerine Dream - Force Majeure

^ i think we already nom'd half of those

Oh man, can't believe we missed Babaluma!

Not sure why anyone would rate "Flowmotion" as one of the best albums of the 70s though

Or are we just listing any albums we can think fo from the 70s now?

i love flow motion! no joeks!

's okay, just this thread's getting ridiculous

Ah, my dream thread / poll. I actually have a pre-pared list of 100 on this very theme (very sad, I know). I'll just nominate a selection. Apologies for any repeats... and for increasing the ridiculousness of this thread.

My Lalo Schifrin nomination is probably ineligible on the "If you couldn't walk into a store somewhere and buy it in the '70s, it can't count here" rule. :(

Sweet - Desolation Boulevard

(US version if we're getting specific)

this thread's getting ridiculous

It's about to get moreso:

Emerson Lake & Palmer - Love Beach

oooh what about-

jandek - ready for the house

If it isn't too late I would like these, please:

La Dusseldorf - Viva!
Todd Rundgren - A Wizard, A True Star
La Monte Young & Marian Zazeela with the Theatre of Eternal Music - Dream House
Hamilton Bohannon - Bohannon's Beat
Niney the Observer - Space Flight Dub (can't find much legit confirmation of original release year but AMG says 1972. possibly only "walk into a store and buy it" in Jamaica but ho hum)

Oh, there is no "!" on Viva. Apparently I'm excitable tonight.

I can't believe "Curtis" by Curtis Mayfield didn't make it in the previous 70s poll! It's only like the best soul album of all time! Why do people prefer the inferior "Superfly" to it?

ashra - blackouts
amon düül - paradieswarts düül
throbbing gristle - 20 jazz funk greats (am i really the first to mention it?!)

Hm. Is there anything we can do to ensure that this doesn't just become an alternate-but-still-canonical list? Or does that even matter? It sort of reminds me of when Popmatters (I think) did a list of the #101-200 greatest albums of all time in the hopes of getting some unsung favorites in there, but still ended up with the usual suspects.

My nominees (sorry for any repeats):

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Cosmo's Factory (1970)
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Deja Vu (1970)
Al Green Gets Next to You (1971)

Voting is going to be impossible!!!

Good feeling that we have reached 1,000 by now. How are we doing J. Fever?

Note, people have gotten real sloppy about duplicates.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the voting in the absence of the usual consensus faves. Will new consensus picks emerge and establish their dominance, with large vote totals separating them from the second tier, as we saw in the 80s poll? Or will the results be broadly flatter, with only small point differences separating the top vote-getters from the rest? It might shed some interesting light on the social phenomenon of consensus formation.

I tried to cross check all of them. It's a real pain, and probably missed a couple, given there's two lists to cross check with.

needs a full whats been nominated so far list

I hope there's room for these

Cerrone-Supernature
Sparks-Indiscreet
Cloud One-Atmosphere Strut
Bionic Boogie-Hot Butterfly
Smokey Robinson-Quiet Storm
Gina X-Nice Mover
Sylvester-Step II
Aural exciters-Spooks In Space
The Commodores-Zoom!

Oh shit, I completely forgot about Fela! Since my favourite Fela albums don't appear to have been nominated yet, I'll do that:

Fela Kuti - Afrodisiac
Fela Kuti - Shakara
Fela Kuti - He Miss Road
Fela Kuti - London Scene
Fela Kuti - No Agreement

I totally agree with this. It's a one my top 10 favourite albums of all time.

That was me agreeing with Tuomas about Curtis by the way!

Yeah, when polling time comes, I can't really imagine anything else being my #1.

i can see why you would want to ban the same old suspects that always appear in any top 50 but leaving out albums that didnt even make the top 70 but just got in the 100 like maggot brain is silly. Its not like Funkadelic ever get in lists by Rolling Stone/NME/Q/Mojo etc.

Yeah, when polling time comes, I can't really imagine anything else being my #1.

― Tuomas

Yeah the only album I would rate higher from the 70's would be the first Roxy Music album which is out.

Btw, since I nominated a Finnish folk rock album no one else besides me has probably even heard, I thought it'd be fair to include a link where you can listen to it in full:

http://open.spotify.com/album/0d1TkHs8qVKJKJxthuxV4A

(You should skip song number 1, since it's kinda boring. Everything else is brilliant though!)

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedoes (Backstreet) '79

(i will try to marshal the might and power of ilm's small but dedicated petty brigade behind this one.)

i'm starting to think there has never actually been this much music ever made and people are making shit up now

you're right, i invented tom petty.

:(

I think the 70s was pretty much the best decade for popular music. I love each and every one of the albums I nominated, plus many many others already nominated.

it is fucking DISGUSTING that i am the only person who nominated hugh masekela by the way, just SICKENING

jo jo zep & the falcons - screaming targets

Great memory of spending a weekend at a trailer park at the Oregon Coast just walking around with my friend Joe blasting this tape, Metallic K.O., and London Calling. We were trying to pick up girls like that. Almost worked; not quite.

My nominees:

Anthony Braxton - For Alto (1971)
ICP Orchestra - Instant Composers Pool (1971)
Harry Partch - Delusion of the Fury (1971)
Frank Wright - Church Number Nine (1973)
Sam Rivers - Streams (1973)
Jorge Ben - A Tábua de Esmeralda (1974)
Rashied Ali & Le Roy Jenkins Duo - Swift Are the Winds of Life (1975)
Kunnakkudi Vaidhyanathan - Violin (1977)
Cecil Taylor - Air Above Mountains (1977)
Hank Williams - 40 Greatest Hits (1978) (Compilation)
Globe Unity Orchestra - Hamburg '74 (1979)

if this is a no canon poll, then Tusk and Aja should be banned shouldnt it? Theyre canon albums especially ILM canon.

shouldn't they

no -- the only things banned here are albums in the top 100 last time, tusk and aja didnt make the list so they are eligible

Fuck the canon!

1970
Alvin Lucier - I am Sitting in a Room
Harry Partch - Delusion of the Fury
The Meters - Look-Ka-Py-Py

1971
Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Jajouka

1972
The JBs - Food for Thought

1973
Robert Fripp & Brian Eno - No Pussyfooting

1974
Charlemagne Palestine - Strumming Music
Gill Scott-Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

1975
Betty Davis - Nasty Gal
Philip Glass - Music in 12 Parts

1976
Burning Spear - Garvey's Ghost
The Upsetters - Super Ape

1977
Robert Ashley - Private Parts (The Record)
The Droids - Star Peace
Women in Electronic Music 1977 - New Music for Electronic & Recorded Media
Haroumi Hosono - Cochin Moon

1978
Black Devil - Disco Club
Fred Lane - From the One that Cut You

1979
Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers - Bustin' Loose
The Flying Lizards - The Flying Lizards

I've a feeling we'll be at 1000 now but anyway:

Francoise Hardy - La Question
Pharoah Sanders - Thembi
Heldon - Third: It's Always Rock & Roll
Lonnie Liston Smith & The Cosmic Echoes - Expansions
Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees
ABBA - The Album
Augustus Pablo - Original Rockers
Dwight Twilley Band - Sincerely
Shoes - Present Tense
The Cars - Candy-O

but they are canon albums, so hardly damn/fuck the canon if theyre in yet stuff thats just sneaked in the top 100 last time gets excluded.
if youre going to call it no canon then there must be no canon
xxp

Moka's list reminded me I missed this on my list of noms:

The Revolutionary Ensemble - The Revolutionary Ensemble

Here's some more. I was forgetting these two:

Lula Côrtes e Zé Ramalho - Paêbirú (1975)
Luciano Cilio - Dialoghi del Presente (1977)

Derelict: A couple of those albums have already been mentioned upthread but that is a great list.

1978
Black Devil - Disco Club

Oh, this is what I was attempting to nominate earlier, but this ^^ is the correct title, not what I put (in case you didn't already know/realise)

I was thinking that it will be almost impossible for me to pick only 30 out of these list of nominees. There's just so many good stuff in here... in the 80's albums list I ended up picking at least 10 albums that I wasn't madly in love with, but this time I could easily pick 50 albums of the 70's which I couldn't live without. And that's without counting the canonical ilx list.

Peter Hammill - Nadir's Big Chance (75)
Julius Hemphill - Dogon A.D. (72)
Bobby Charles - Bobby Charles (72)
Alpha Band - Alpha Band (76) (extra point for turning Dylan on to Jesus!)

but they are canon albums, so hardly damn/fuck the canon if theyre in yet stuff thats just sneaked in the top 100 last time gets excluded.

that's why i asked JF to clarify the rules of the poll way up at the beginning of the thread, and those albums are fine. besides, how many truly canonical albums are there that were shut out last time? if the whole top 20 of this poll is obvious canonical stuff, that still leaves 80 spots of interesting surprises.

a boring one if its going to be tusk and aja in the top spots!

they won't be in the top spots

How can anything be boring if it has Tusk? I'm looking forward to lending it my vote.

I don't even know what Aja is? Wasn't she an ILX poster? Tusk sounds kinda more familiar, but I couldn't tell what band it is by.

its like a giant tooth

nickb there are two sun ra albums called space is the place, which one do you like?

Okay, people take a break from nominations for a while so I can catch up and weed out dupes, etc. I'm sure we'll have reached 1,000 by this point...

You already had the brilliant idea of not limiting nominations, and you see where it got us. Plus, you've already said you weren't even going to vote in this poll if you couldn't vote for Maggot Brain, so maybe you can leave it alone now.

Good point abanana! I was thinking of the one on the right, not the OST.

But people complaining about other people's hard work is an important part of these polls too! xp

right fine, i wont vote or nominate if that's what you want. remove the nominations i made if you really want to.
xxposts

Hey people all those nominations and the best album still missing! It's ten actually.

Keith Jarrett - Sun Bear Concerts

Debris' Static Caravan

lol this should be 'static disposal'

Maybe use something like Acclaimed Music to weed out canon from non-canon?

The extent of my weeding out will be dupes, albums in the original 100 and albums not released between 1970-79.

Aiight then. But how's this going to be different from just looking at #101-200 from the last poll, except for with slightly different participants?

What is this, twenty questions? Johnny Fever is the man for organizing this. We should be thanking him for bringing a little more joy into our lives.

Like I told (some dude) way way upthread, the objective of the poll is not to celebrate obscurity, but to downplay familiarity. Popular albums will still be scattered throughout the results, but I think there'll be just as many unfamiliar titles as well.

note that YES electric sound is right, debris' - static disposal lp IS actually called static disposal. realized and was gonna edit before posting, but i guess i forgot duh. so that should be rectified.

nickb there are two sun ra albums called space is the place, which one do you like?

― abanana

I think it's the second one there... at least was the same one I was thinking of nominating.

Damn. I'm not even a little surprised, but youse guys have already named most of my noms (even, like, The Flying Lizards and Syreeta!). Even so:

Yoko Ono - Plastic Ono Band
Yoko Ono - Fly
War - Youngblood
Stevie Wonder - Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants
Laura Nyro - Christmas And The Beads Of Sweat
Faust - Faust V (assuming it counts)
Essential Logic - Beat Rhythm News
(American) Spring - Spring
Booker T. & The MGs - Uptight
The Beach Boys - Surf's Up
The Beach Boys - Carl and the Passions - "So Tough"
Mandrill - Composite Truth

And if compilations of '70s material by a single act (who never released an album in the '70s) are eligible, I'd like to nominate The Sisters Love - Give Me Your Love.

What is this, twenty questions? Johnny Fever is the man for organizing this. We should be thanking him for bringing a little more joy into our lives.

indeed, three cheers

don't forget to include this one in the noms, it seems to have been missed from upthread. i mainly point this out because it will be in my top 3

complex - s/t

(good review of the excellent complex debut here: http://www.lysergia.com/LamaReviews/reviews7.htm#COMPLEX)

I think I've got everything accounted for up through this point. 1,127 nominations so far (and a SHIT LOAD of reggae, as least what I'm guessing is reggae, that I've never even heard of). I feel more enlightened already, and we're not even voting yet.

Williams, Hank 40 Greatest Hits

I know this was released in 1978, but should it stand?

A few more, tho I do share the concern that people are beginning to just pick records they've heard, not LOVe (ie, JB's The Original Disco Man):

Lem -- Machines
Klaus Schulze -- Moondawn
The Move -- Shazam
Leonard Cohen -- Death of a Ladies Man

God, that is a lot of records (though a lot of really good ones). Would it maybe make more sense for people to have a limit of how many records they can nominate?

Also, "Carl and the Passions -- So Tough" is a Beach Boys record, so it should be listed as one.

Wasn't quite sure how to list So Tough, but if people can find it easier under Beach Boys, I'll change it.

And yeah, I'm going to have to stick from this point on with the limit of 15 noms per person. If you haven't nominated anything yet, you get a full 15. If you've already nominated some things, but not a full 15, you can meet that maximum. If you've already nominated more than 15 (or more than 150, in some cases), you're cut off from further nominations! ;)

Williams, Hank 40 Greatest Hits

I know this was released in 1978, but should it stand?

― Johnny Fever

Various artists compilations and best-of/greatest hits collections are eligible, provided they were originally arranged and released between 1970 and 1979. ALSO, EP'S ARE ELIGIBLE. If they're not accounted for here, then where amirite?

― Johnny Fever

but I wont get feisty if you decide to exclude it.

I know it technically meets the requirements, but the guy died in 1953!

I have a copy of 40 Greatest Hits. I think it was a huge seller. Did it somewhat revive Williams' popularity upon its release in 1978? If so, I could see why it would be nominated/voted for. Otherwise it just strikes me as odd, even if it does meet the requirements.

cannot believe Rock Bottom didn't place in the first poll

I honestly have no idea if it helped revive Williams' popularity at some point. I just nominated because it is awesome. You know what? just exclude it, but if you ever bump into that particular comp do not hesitate cashing for it.

Cornell Campbell's Dance In a Greenwich Farm (1975) and The Gorgon (1976).

some noms

Wendy Carlos - Clockwork Orange
Evan Parker - The Topography of the Lungs
Guru Guru - UFO
Sam Rivers - Crystals
John Abercrombie - Gateway
Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Face to Face
Anne Briggs - The Time Has Come
Rashied Ali & Frank Lowe - Duo Exchange

I think La Dusseldorf s/t and 'First' are the same, ie erase First and keep the s/t. My error.

Amon Düül II Paradieswarts Düül

this album is by Amon Düül, not Amon Düül II

It's a huge list, and will probably get a little bigger before it's all over, but I think it will be navigable for voting purposes when segmented into A, B, C, etc.

(Also, I credited A Clockwork Orange to Walter instead of Wendy, as that's how it was listed in 1971.)

Cobham, Billy A Funky Side of Things

This album is actually called "A Funky Thide of Sings" (i.e. it's a Spoonerism).

fixed

Someone nominated, then withdrew, a Fairouz album - could someone renominate one please to give me a kick to check it out? I'd do it myself, but she released about 40 albums in the 70s and I wouldn't know where to start.

Here's a few more nominations I didn't remember yesterday...

Herbie Hancock: Sunlight (1977)
Chaka Khan: Chaka (1978)
Billy Cobham: Spectrum (1973)
Miriam Makeba: Pata Pata - The Hit Sound of Miriam Makeba (1972)
Minnie Riperton: Adventures in Paradise (1975)
Return to Forever: Musicmagic (1977)

I put the one that was nominated back in. xp
