--- NOMINATIONS THREAD for ILM's Alltime Best Metal/Heavy Rock TRACKS Poll---. - Nominations end 11.59pm UK Time July 16th

John J has kindly volunteered to tabulate the results so we are going to have an ILM Alltime Best Metal/Heavy Rock tracks Poll & ILM's Alltime Best Metal/Heavy Rock Albums Poll.

This is the thread to nominate the tracks. No limit on nominations for now but that may change.
As regards to "alternative" stuff, Grunge obviously counts, janes addiction count(jane says too because if that doesnt count then neither does the metal ballads, which would be silly) , but not sonic youth or dinosaur jr type stuff. If you're not sure ask on thread, someone will comment for sure!
We can discuss and veto tracks on this thread. But make sure you do, no moaning when results are in.

So onwards with your nominations.

Will start with a few obvious ones.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven
Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water
Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills
Guns N Roses - Sweet Child O Mine
Guns N Roses - Paradise City
Janes Addiction - Been Caught Stealing
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Pearl Jam - Alive

now lets go..

AC/DC - Let There Be Rock
Aerosmith - Nobody's Fault
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Slayer - Raining Blood
Van Halen - Panama

This is going to be great.

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/NewAnswersControllerServlet?boardid=41

Oh, that reminds me:

Kyuss - Demon Cleaner

This is going to be great.

I sure hope so.

I have the distinct pleasure of nominating the following:

Motörhead - Ace Of Spades
Motörhead - No Voices In The Sky
Slayer - Angel Of Death
Aerosmith - Sick As A Dog
Alice Cooper - I'm Eighteen

Black Sabbath - Iron Man
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Metallica - Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
Metallica - One
Slipknot - Wait and Bleed
Converge - Fault and Fracture
Deftones - Change
...
I'm guessing punk/hardcore stuff doesn't figure in here?

Black Sabbath - War Pigs
Black Sabbath - Neon Knights
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
the Beatles - Helter Skelter
AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long
Iron Maiden - Flash of the Blade
Iron Maiden - Wrathchild
Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla
Van Halen - Runnin with the Devil
Metallica - Enter Sandman

I'm not against it but others might.
Nominate stuff and if people wish to veto it we can. Or we just add "punk" to the thread title if there's loads of demand hehe.

But I think certain punk belongs and some dont. I think Anarchy In The UK prob should be nommed. I think Kick Out The Jams and I Wanna Be Your Dog type stuff should be too. The line between metal/punk/hard rock has long blurred. No Television or Blondie though...
I guess Green Day can since most of their fans are "kerrang" type. I think most know here which punk metal fans like and so on.

But will leave the decisions to the majority on this thread.

Does Cromagnon - Caledonia count? Because if so, I might actually vote in this poll.

I dont see why not. Its a great heavy track. But I dont think ballots of 1 or 2 songs/albums will be accepted! But i know you have a secret teenage metal past anyway..

melvins-Boris
sonic youth-expressway to yr skull
led zeppeline-kashmir
janes addiction-three days
my bloody valentine-when you sleep

spirituelized-cop shoot cop
the jesus&mary chain-reverence

as metal or hard rock, sorry. And i love all 4 bands. But I really dont think they belong in this poll. Sorry.
No probs with the rest.

I'd agree. (I love those bands too.)

lol johnny, im dreading all the votes for hair metal, but that was kinda the reason for the tracks poll, they kinda more belong in one than the albums (with some exceptions.

BUT FOR FFS

YOU LEFT OUT HANOI ROCKS

I dont see why not. Its a great heavy track. But I dont think ballots of 1 or 2 songs/albums will be accepted! But i know you have a secret teenage metal past anyway..

Ha, not at all! I'm one of the few people I know who didn't go through a metal phase. I was a grunge kid, but along the Nirvana/Sonic Youth/Dinosaur Jr lines rather than Alice In Chains/Soundgarden.

On the other hand, I do love Sabbath and Hawkwind. I could put together a ballot of just them. But I probably shouldn't - all the real metallers will hate me for ruining their poll.

Hanoi Rocks - Tragedy

emil.y dont be silly. If you like enough to make a ballot then do it. This is an ILM poll not a terrorizer poll anyway!

No doubt a lot of grunge will make my ballot anyway. It was my way in.

Its going to be a fucking nightmare limiting my ballot to 50 albums though.

Hanoi Rocks - Don't Never Leave Me

Hanoi Rocks - Until I get You

YOU LEFT OUT HANOI ROCKS

On purpose. I always thought they were shit.

Hawkwind - Silver Machine

aaaaaaaaaaand...

Spermswamp - Fermented Anal Nectar

Couple more, then I'll stop.

Mötley Crüe - Shout at the Devil
Mötley Crüe - Wild Side

Oh, and

Mötley Crüe - Live Wire

AC/DC - Jailbreak
Blue Oyster Cult - Veteran of the Psychick Wars
Soundgarden - Jesus Christ Pose
System of a Down - Toxicity
Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name
Meshuggah - I
Voivod - The Unknown Knows
Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused
Nirvana - School
Scale the Summit - Sargasso Sea
Green Day - Jesus of Suburbia
Caina - Willows and Whippoorwills

Does The Who count? Because they should.

The Who - Baba O'Riley
The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again

YOU LEFT OUT HANOI ROCKS

On purpose. I always thought they were shit.

― Johnny Fever,

that's when i reach for my suggest banolver ;)

You nominate shitty hair metal yet dont like Hanoi Rocks???? !!!

I just noted that I was nominating hair metal. Not that it was shitty. You're a pretty judgmental fuck, haha!

Tool - Schism

You can nominate all you like johhny. But hanoi rocks will beat most of it :P

Now I know how Tuomas feels when he gets razzed for talking about dance music in year-end threads. I'm being marginalized!!!

I really wish tuomas would nominate some metal/heavy rock songs he liked.
I can see plenty of people voting for tracks but not albums actually.

btw johnny, i bet half of the tracks you nominate get in the poll results easy

Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box
Soundgarden - Jesus Christ Pose
Alice In Chains - Would

Heh, I nominated "Jesus Christ Pose" already.

bad me, i was too busy marginalizing poor johnny! ;)

Does 'Heart Shaped Box' really count as Metal/Heavy Rock? I mean, I can see 'School' working within the remit, but not ALL Nirvana songs. What next, 'Molly's Lips'?

damn right it does. and it will be bloody high in my ballot too. ( Heart Shaped Box)

Its heavier than bon jovis 80s hits that i have no objection to being nominated as its still heavy rock.

Kreator - Impossible Brutality

As I said before metal/heavy rock bands still made lighter songs that are still songs made by metal/hard rock bands. I'm not a fan of metal/hard rock ballads, I despise many of them, but they're still classed as metal/heavy rock songs.

Black Sabbath - After Forever
Electric Wizard - Wizard in Black
Judas Priest - Victim of Changes
Judas Priest - Diamonds and Rust
King Diamond - Abigail
Thin Lizzy - Whisky in the Jar
Thin Lizzy - Fighting My Way Back
Venom - Black Metal
Venom - Countess Bathory
Venom - Buried Alive

and then here's some maybe more controversial picks:

Nightwish - The Kinslayer
Manowar - The Power of Thy Sword
Gamma Ray - The Heart of the Unicorn
Meatloaf - Life is a Lemon (And I Want My Money Back)
Disturbed - Land of Confusion

Boris - Pink
Boris - Statement
Black Sabbath - Supernaut
Electric Wizard - Vinum Sabbathi
Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis
Mastodon - Blood and Thunder
Ministry - Jesus Built my hotrod
Sepultura - Territory
Sleep - Dragonaut
Spooky Tooth - Better by you, better than me
Sunn O))) – Aghartha
Testament - Over the Wall
The Sword - to take the black
Witchcraft - Samaritan Burden
Zior - I really do
ZZ Top - Cheap Sunglasses

Mastodon - Crusher/Destroyer
Mastodon - March Of The Fire Ants

The Who? Really?

I think the parameters of this poll may be fatally ill-defined.

I think the definition is clear its just a wide category. I don't really see how Led Zeppelin or BOC could be accepted but The Who rejected.

Will leave it up to thread participants to decide on what gets in or not.

Anyone else says the who shouldnt be allowed (obv theres a difference between 60s and 70s who) speak up

btw no ska-punk.

I don't really see how Led Zeppelin or BOC could be accepted but The Who rejected.

^ this. I mean it's pretty easy to disqualify bands like Jesus & Mary Chain or Spiritualized out of nothing more than common sense, but The Who from 1971-on fits just as easily in this category as Zeppelin, BOC, AC/DC, etc do. I mean, there's no way in hell I'm voting for Slipknot, but I don't mind it being included because diversity within hard rock makes the world go round!

the who definitely made heavy rock in the 70s.

Also, yeah... I'm about to nominate some Def Leppard.

Def Leppard - Foolin'
Def Leppard - Photograph
Def Leppard - Animal
Def Leppard - Gods of War

you forgot rock of ages

I'll let someone else get that one.

i really want to nominate front line assembly - mindphaser but there's nothing metal about it so damn. Only john, dan & i would have voted for it anyway so it doesn't really matter.

btw anyone object to sex pistols tracks being nominated?

Nope.

(no objection, that is.)

just don't expect me to vote for them

A Perfect Circle - Judith
Moonspell - Opium

well nominate loads so vote gets split

just a few more tracks:

Monster Magnet - 25.....Tab
Thrones - Manmtn
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - A Hymn to the Morning Star
Rob Zombie - Dragula

and i think sex pistols is fine but i would object to something like nofx or whatever.

Does the following count or are they too offbeat?

Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy
The Cure - Fascination Street

I think you know the answer..

uh also:

Agalloch - This Old Cabin
Agalloch - As Embers Dress the Sky
Agalloch - Hallways of Enchanted Ebony

I think I'm done now. thanks!

Mastodon - Cut You Up With A Linoleum Knife
Blue Oyster Cult - The Red & the Black

if anyone wants to post youtubes to garner votes for tracks, then it will probably be better to start another thread since a lot of posters hate YT heavy threads.
Anyone who wants to can start it.

thanks

Dunno if these count:

Kiling Joek - Love Like Blood
Poison Idea - Plastic Bomb
MC5 - Looking At You
Groundhogs - Cherry Red

Deep Purple-Speed King
ZZ Top-Just Got Paid

Funkadelic - Super Stupid

gonna do this more comprehensively later

but for fuck's sake guys

King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man

i think we agreed that individual tracks by bands that werent metal/heavy rock but the tracks were heavy would be allowed. But they wont qualify for the albums poll.
But we will still draw the line.

Aerosmith - Draw The Line

Deep Purple-Burn

Does Bob Seger's early 70s hard rocking stuff count?

ZZ Top - La Grange
ZZ Top - Heard It on the X
ZZ Top - Tush
ZZ Top - Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers
Rainbow - Kill the King
Saxon - Dallas 1PM

Can I just remind people nominating stuff, is there really much point nominating stuff that noone else would vote for? Otherwise we just get complaints that the noms list takes too long to scroll through and that a lot of it is pointless.

I've deliberately not nominated stuff thats obscure and that I'd be the only 1 voting for.

My inner 14-year old self is sooo looking forward to voting in this.

AC/DC -- It's A Long Way To The Top has been nommed twice BTW.

More noms:

Boston -- More Than A Feeling
Boston -- Peace of Mind
Boston -- Foreplay/Long Time

Rember, if you nominate 10 tracks by one band, they will suffer from vote splitting.

hey, DOPESMOKER is a tune as much as an album. was nominating the song. should be in the list.

No, it's in the album list. I think that is enough.

yous the boss

gotta set the limits sometimes. I'd hate for the vote to get split "oh i voted for it in the singles list but left it out of albums because of that"
btw Jerusalem was split up so feel free to nominate 1 of those passages (anymore than 1 and you get vote split again btw)

hey pfunkboy will you please strike my noms from the record? I'm gonna construct a much more concise nom list...

I've already added to the spreadsheet, sorry.

[mod edit]

Scorpions - The Sails of Charon

Monster Magnet - Negasonic Teenage Warhead
Monster Magnet - Spacelord

Noone starting a youtube companion thread?

POWER BALLAD ALERT

Scorpions - No One Like You
Def Leppard - Bringin' on the Heartbreak
Triumph - Magic Power

I'm sure we can all agree that ballads with whistles in it by German bands are not allowed?

I for one am not cool with that. I'll nominate:

Scorpions - Wind of Change
The Stooges - Search And Destroy
Led Zeppelin - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Led Zeppelin - In My Time Of Dying
Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness

Next you will be nominating bon jovi & europe

Europe - Carrie
Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead or Alive

five more:

Boris - I Just Abandoned My-Self
Clutch - Binge & Purge
Korn - Clown
Nirvana - Scentless Apprentice
Smashing Pumpkins - x.y.u.

I wonder how many of these will actually get votes

A few more-
Sepultura-territory
Harvey Milk-decades
Jucifer-armada
King crimson-red

I wonder how many of these will actually get votes

i know. and i take yr point about vote-splitting, re: dopesmoker. got dizzy nominating BOC tracks, but that probably only guarantees that they won't place high. ;___;

Yeah, otoh, everyone might just vote for dont fear the reaper and ignore the others anyway.

Blue Oyster Cult - Don't fear The Reaper
Sir Lord Baltimore - Pumped Up

haha

nearly 400 tracks nominated. At least 200 of them wont get more than 1 person voting for them (if even that).

if the pace keeps up a window of a week longer for noms might be excessive.

Yes.

Reverend Bizarre - Doom Over The World.

we wont go too fast if common sense is used (ie dont nominate too many by one band to avoid vote splitting) and people dont nominate obscure stuff noone will vote for (its fine if you will vote for it, but you cant nominate 100 things and vote for them

boris - 1970

p.s. hay can i get this playlist on my ipod?

I feel like I've nominated too much already.

Carcass - Inpropagation
Carcass - Death Certificate
Sepultura - We Who Are Not as Others
Death - Trapped in a Corner
Faith No More - Midlife Crisis
Led Zeppelin - Ten Years Gone
The Beatles - I Want You (She's So Heavy)

I dunno, for an all-time poll I think you should nominate as much as you like - I tend to rely on nominations when making my ballots, and I don't see how it is extra tabulating time for you - surely you only input the ones that get votes as the votes come in?

Another from Death - Crystal Mountain

Megadeth - Tornado of Souls
Pantera - Shedding Skin

emil.y , i dont mind, but some (inc jeff) complained about too much upthread.

I still dont know if i can allow the beatles. I understand why the songs are nominated, but i worry ilm skews the poll too much if you know what I mean.

There's just no way they should get in a top 100 metal/heavy rock list imo

I would add another voice to discounting the Beatles. Haven't heard the song in a while but it never struck me as particularly heavy rock. Maybe heavy-Beatles, but it's not a heavy-Beatles poll. But then, I'd also discount the Stones and the Who and most of the punk and even a lot of the Nirvana. I don't even like metal, but I seem to be more of a purist than most of you guys!

stones are a nono ppl said so the beatles are out. the 2 who tracks ARE heavy rock though, so they stay (as do nirvana)

I thought nomming the Beatles would be contentious. I do think that's a heavy rock track (the riff is massive), but I can see how it wold open the floodgates. Discount away!

How would some Nine Inch Nails go down? Too electronicy?

no, nin is totally fine (except maybe for sin and closer)

i love those tracks, esp sin, but they dont really belong.

I think common sense says some tracks by bands dont belong. Like emil.y said with Nirvana - Mollys lips. But others fit. esp off the 3 studio albums.

im now gonna add my fave Nirvana track so i can vote for it

Nirvana - Aneurysm

Great track.

NIN - Last
NIN - Wish
NIN - March of the Pigs

(Deliberately gone for rockier ones)

cant fuck with Wish can you? awesome.

Oh man, I completely forgot:

Black Widow - Come to the Sabbat

I will be voting the hell out of this.

Am I right in thinking all your faves might come from the 1970s?

SOAD - Mr Jack

I think it's more a case of 'any decade but the 80s'. And yeah, I know the 80s was metal's decade, ha. I will have to restrain myself from voting for all Nirvana and Sunn 0))) nominations, mind you.

You vote for what you like. I wasn't a fan of 80s metal myself (with some exceptions of course) . I don't think Sunn 0))) will be troubling an all time metal tracks poll tbh.

I look forward to seeing all your NWOBEM nominations on the albums poll :)

Neurosis - Purify

hey I was gonna do this one! at least it's guaranteed another vote

Styx - Suite Madame Blue

johnny hasn't nominated Stryper yet

Paradise Lost - Pity the Sadness

just so you know pfunkboy I def. plan on voting for every track I nominated--that's why I redid them--and part of the fun of voting in these polls is taking throwing some of my own personal faves against the wall and seeing what sticks (tho I imagine dealing with a list this big is pretty unwieldly, and I'm sorry)

Still, it was a bigger thrill seeing that 3 ppl voted for High on Fire than seeing Badu take #47 (in the 05-09 Traxx list, of course)....

No its ok. Nominating obscurish stuff you will vote for is perfectly fine. It's just that some stuff being nominated will likely get zero votes or cause vote split.

ie nominated for the sake of it. Doesn't matter so much in an albums poll, but in a tracks poll, a noms list of 2000 would be chaos! Imagine everyone nominated 4 or 5 tracks from every album by an artist. Total nightmare!

Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalized

xp right...first timed I did it, I got carried away...

I kept the four Sabbath nominations for a reason: there's a six-song Sabbath minimum on my ballot, guaranteed!

btw everyone, please dont post band acronyms as I'm copy & pasting all this and it will make it far easier if you use full band names and albums.

or tracks, as in this case.

nominating:

Billy Squier - The Stroke
Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows
Guns N Roses - November Rain
Guns N Roses - Don't Cry
Golden Earring - Radar Love
Lordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah
Pearl Jam - Go
Pearl Jam - Do The Evolution
Manic Street Preachers - Sleepflower
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
Whitesnake - Fool For Your Loving

and I'd like a view on the following artists who seem a bit borderline, please:

Neil Young
Smashing Pumpkins
Afghan Whigs
The Clash
Red Hot Chili Peppers (90s onwards)

oops, Smashing Pumpkins are obviously in already

you left this off the list:

Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town

Pumpkins allowed. RHCP up until bloodsugarsexmagick is allowed
the others no.
Will allow neil young's rockier stuff like rockin in a free world , cortez the killer etc

Three more ...

Alice Cooper - Under My Wheels
Tad - Sex God Missy
Tad - Behemoth

(Tad's got to be allowed, right? It's metal, innit?)

sure, tad is grunge and grunge is in (with obvious exceptions)

Deathspell Omega - Chaining the Katechon

A couple more and I'm done,

Andrew WK - Party Hard
Rammstein - Amerika

and here's my final noms:

Zodiac Mindwarp & the Love Reaction - Prime Mover
Def Leppard - Getcha Rocks Off
Motörhead - Bomber
Headgirl - Please Don't Touch
Rainbow - Since You've Been Gone
Whitesnake - Fool For Your Lovin'
Kiss - Crazy Crazy Nights
Deep Purple - Highway Star
Argent - God Gave Rock'n'Roll To You

Neil Young - Cortez The Killer
Neil Young - Cowgirl In The Sand
Neil Young & Pearl Jam - I'm The Ocean
The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge

That's 22 from me, which seems like a lot - so for that reason I'm out (reserving the right to get back in if something obvious occurs). Thanks for putting this together.

Any objections to the white stripes?

Noone has vetoed anything other than Sonic Youth,Beatles,Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones and the entire genre of pop punk..

I thought we vetoed Floyd for albums - I'd totally support "One Of These Days" (it's a kissing cousin of "Children of the Grave," after all) and "The Nile Song" in a tracks poll.

I was going to nominate 'Blue Orchid', which surely no-one could object to, but then I figured that I much prefer 'Seven Nation Army' and Jack White does shred live, so...

Ok I'll allow the nile song (since i love it)

Don't think any of these have been mentioned yet, I would vote for most or maybe all of these :

Alice Cooper – Black Juju
Angel Witch – Angel Witch
Angel Witch – Angel Of Death
Blue Oyster Cult - Subhuman
Budgie - Breadfan
Budgie – Zoom Club
Diamond Head – Am I Evil
Focus – Hocus Pocus
High Tide – Futilist's Lament
Journey – Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)
Judas Priest - Exciter
Manowar – All Men Play On Ten
Montrose – Rock The Nation
Montrose – Space Station No. 5
Queen – Brighton Rock
Rush – Xanadu
Rush – Hemispheres
Rush - 2112
Sensational Alex Harvey Band – Faith Healer
Stray – All In Your Mind
Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
UFO - Rock Bottom
Uriah Heep - Gypsy

That's a fucking great list right there, except for the Journey. Well done, sir.

Lucky I made it an Alltime Best Metal/Heavy Rock Poll then to avoid the "that's not metal" shenanigans.

Journey = not metal, APART from that one song I nominated, and maybe Stone In Love if you're pushing it. I would've put an Armageddon or Captain Beyond track but who's going to vote for them, no-one is who.

Yeah, the thing that attracted me to Journey in the very beginning was the almost-metalness of "Separate Ways." I soon discovered that wasn't a running thing with them, but whatever. That song is great.

"I would've put an Armageddon or Captain Beyond track but who's going to vote for them, no-one is who."

I love both of them, but not over some of the others nominated.

I think captain beyond got nominated in the albums poll.

Journey is as acceptable to be nomm'd as Boston or Styx IMO.

if its not a ballad i dont see why not

Ozzy Osbourne - Over the Mountain
Ozzy Osbourne - Little Dolls
Black Sabbath - Hand of Doom
Black Flag - Spray Paint
Iron Maiden - The Trooper
AC/DC - Back in Black
Motorhead - Iron Fist
Led Zeppelin - In the Light
Led Zeppelin - Livin' Lovin' Maid
The Runaways - Cherry Bomb
Sweet - Fox on the Run

Surprised not to see this one nommed yet:

Led Zeppelin -- Communication Breakdown

that was the 500th track nominated.

thx

I guess nominations are almost complete?

You've already moved back the end date once - just because there are a lot of noms doesn't mean that everyone who might want to nominate something has seen this thread. Leave closing it until the date listed.

(I don't know why I've become so invested in this poll seeing as I may not even vote in it. Procrastination does some strange things to you.)

Also, I just noticed you've not got Black Widow on the list - surely that can't be discounted?

didn't you nominate that on the albums thread?(ps go nominate stuff there)

What track was it and I'll add it.

I'll add

Flower Travellin' Band - Satori Pt 2

Oh heck, did I? It gets confusing switching between the two threads - it's a track not an album. For C&P purposes:

Black Widow - Come to the Sabbat

And yay, FTB.

Outkast: "A Bad Note"

kjb's new haircut (influenced by harry chapin)
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RKALFC0Ni1Q/Rb0xHtuwFrI/AAAAAAAAABU/tmKz94zjFVo/s320/182-shit-head.jpg

The Osmonds - "Crazy Horses"

thank you crüt!

The Sisters of Mercy - "Temple of Love"

haha that osmonds one is going to cause controversy.

Funkin' masterpiece, "Crazy Horses." More:

The Osmonds: "My Drum"
The Osmonds: "Don't Panic"

More:

The Osmonds: "Hold Her Tight"
The Osmonds: "Hey, Mr. Taxi" (Even Mr. Taxi's shoes are heavy!)

kjb you know everyones going to veto those, right?

please do not veto "crazy horses" tho

it seems really stupid to not allow the rolling stones when you're allowing lynyrd skynyrd

Skynyrd have always been part of the heavy rock canon, the stones aren't.
re the osmonds - It's up to people to object to stuff to veto it (and to see how many will defend it)

So who has objections to nominations and believe something to be non metal/heavy rock and should be vetoed from the list? This thread is the only time to do it. Once nominations are over on friday that is it.
No point on telling me on AIM in Chatz that stuff isn't suitable. Do it here!

I would probably allow 'Crazy Horses' but I don't know the other Osmonds tracks to say whether I should be objecting or not. I think 'Crazy Horses' just gets a pass because it's a proper classic.

WTF people?

Dio - Rainbow in the Dark
Dio - The Last In Line
Rainbow - The Man on the Silver Mountain

Any songs on there you genuinely think does not belong? We should really discuss it before noms end and its too late. I still think the criteria of a) a band of heavy rock or metal lineage or b) the song is heavy enough is what we go by for the tracks poll. In which case I see no problem with Crazy Horses as it seems to qualify by the latter.

xp

Skynyrd have always been part of the heavy rock canon, the stones aren't.

sez who (other than you)

The guy who taught my History of Rock and Roll class, that's who.

Wasn't he really into The Band?

Sorry, nevermind.

Yes, and he also classified Santana as hard rock, so take that for what you will...

i think you should take his job

I wonder if "2112" and "Hemispheres" need to be on the tracks poll as well as the albums poll? I know that each of those suites is only one side of its respective album but it might still cause vote-splitting? Just a thought.

ok, i'll remove them

RATM-KILLING IN THE NAME
SOUNDGARDEN-RUSTY CAGE

Rage Against The Machine - Renegades of Funk
Blackstreet, ODB & Slash - Fix
Black Crowes - Hotel Illness

Blackstreet, ODB & Slash - Fix

I really have to object to this, sorry. Putting guitars in a rap song doesn't make it a metal song.

I tend to agree

but are we talking about "metal" or "hard rock"

kjb insists all his osmonds nominations should stand not just "crazy horses" . anyone agree or disagree with him?

I think its fine, BUT he can offer no proof as to their heaviness. I am willing to take his word, are others?

It's not a rap song, it's probably mostly r&b but it's got a stomping beat and Slash is on it - how can it not qualify? Agree that it'd be a strange winner, but it's a terrific track and would grace the list I reckon. Anyway, the list needs this too:

Queen - We Will Rock You

I would like to raise a formal objection to this action, but I'll accept any management decisions without necessarily endorsing them.

I will add
The Osmonds - My Drum
The Osmonds - Don't Panic
The Osmonds - Hold Her Tight
The Osmonds - Hey, Mr. Taxi

others can still veto it if they wish. Thank you for providing links Kevin.

Megadeth - Holy Wars...The Punishment Due

Metallica - The Four Horsemen
Metallica - Wherever I May Roam
Metallica - Dyer's Eve
Metallica - Fight Fire With Fire
Tool - Eulogy

At the Drive-In - Pattern Against User

I don't think I have said this yet, thank you to everyone who has taken the trouble to nominate tracks!

Thanks to you too, Herman! Should be a fun poll, looking forward to the results.

Dio - Holy Diver

Thanks Chap.

jj I could have swore that was in there. Seems an obvious classic to have been missed out.

This poll is going to make ILX metal anoraks angrier than than any end-of-year poll, I can feel it.

Amon Duul II - Archangels Thunderbird

I have the same feeling, Matt. Except those kind of tr00 metallers don't nominate/vote in polls so I don't really think many will care enough to read the results thread.
What would be amusing is butthurt indiekids seeing music they like as being labelled metal!

Pirates!

Alestorm - Keelhauled
Swashbuckle - Cruise Ship Terror

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99a6DaheLqs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0T2dPyCEHc

Keelhauled still makes me lol

chap want to start a youtube companion thread for tracks? Keep them in one thread, so people dont complain about not being able to load threads.

Start it off with ace Of Spades though!

Skepticism - The March and the Stream

Shit sorry. I just thought both those vids are chucklesome enough to deserve an airing. May start that thread tomorrow.

No its fine, I've just been waiting for someone to start the youtube thread (as people might complain at me starting another thread)

I'm gonna add some kyuss trax to this list btw

YOUTUBE Companion thread for ILM METAL/HEAVY ROCK TRACKS POLL

Was there ever a 2000s Metal poll? My searches are coming up empty.

Nope, just the 2008 and 2009 end of year polls.
Doing an alltime because it hasn't been done on ILM yet plus I think decade polls have been rather ubiquitous the past 2 years. I preferred the idea of this.

Ok cool, was looking for other reasons. Nothing to do with this poll actually.

Witchfinder General - Witchfinder General

who the frickin eck are Slough Feg?

a terrific band that john justen will vote for every track by. Their 2009 album Ape Uprising placed quite high in the ILM 2009 metal poll.

They used to be known as Lord Weird Slough Feg, but are now just Slough Feg. So I used the shortened version in the noms to keep them together.

i like walt mink but do not consider them heavy rock or heavy metal, though they could be heavy at times

but i wouldn't include smashing pumpkins either

added the syl track to the spreadsheet btw

anything else?

Sepultura - Desperate Cry
Sepultura - Dead Embryonic Cells

The Osmonds - Crazy Horses
The Osmonds - Don't Panic
The Osmonds - Hey, Mr. Taxi
The Osmonds - Hold Her Tight
The Osmonds - My Drum

I have some questions here

direct them to kjb, he nominated them.

Plus who actually nominated "Vambo" by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band? Is this a bit of preferential treatment going on from Herr Neuname?

You wish to veto it ?

Just wondered how it ended up on the list

why the hell are there Osmonds songs on this list but "Chowdertown" and "Croton-Hormon" by Walt Mink are a step too far?

Don't know why "The Last Days" by The Osmonds isn't on the list, that actually is a heavy rock song. So I nominate:

The Osmonds - The Last Days

because noone said to veto the osmonds songs?

who wants the osmonds songs vetoed?

I kinda feel I should let bill magill decide what gets vetoed.

ILM's very own Cerberus

Let them stay, what the hell. The only thing I have to say, is do you need three more days to make up the list? I think its pretty good to go.

"ILM's very own Cerberus"

If i had three heads, the hangover I have today would be that much worse.

jj, my fellow conspirator , wants the deadline to stay to let the stragglers catch up.
But I know what you mean. I dont see anything essential that will make a top 100 being added but you never know.
Have a look at the albums noms and see if we missed anything there.

Noone wants the osmonds vetoed so kjb will be happy.

Blackstreet got the boot then? Another which occurred in a similarish vein was Tricky - Black Steel but I haven't heard it for years and can't remember how heavy it actually is, so I'll hold off for the moment. In the meantime, if you're looking for obvious:

At The Drive-In - Arc Arsenal
Led Zeppelin - Black Dog
Led Zeppelin - Over The Hills And Far Away

I mean, I could nominate every Zep track and I'm trying not to, but it just seems wrong to miss those two.

A couple of obvious omissions :

Iron Maiden - Running Free
Metallica - Creeping Death

I thought creeping death had been nominated, but it hadn't. Would expect that to place in the top 100.

God, choosing a top 50 is gonna be hard.

this is what I feared would happen. People are going to veto "Crazy Horses" just because KJB decided to be KJB and nominate other Osmonds songs.

I think Crazy Horses would be staying in, even though he was Bozelka-ing.
KJB will not vote as he could never find 50 tracks and albums to vote for.

lol at the amount of slough feg nominated

Skyclad - Spinning Jenny

Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears

this is what I feared would happen. People are going to veto "Crazy Horses" just because KJB decided to be KJB and nominate other Osmonds songs.

no one is vetoing the Osmonds songs, I just want to know why Mormonapalooza gets to stay and songs that sound like a stripped-down version of Smashing Pumpkins' debut don't

Anthrax - Among The Living
Sepultura - Refuse/Resist
Misfits - Hybrid Moments

again sorry to just keep throwing in bits and pieces, still have not recovered all my hard drive stuff so i just have to go with what i remember at any given moment
(sepultura - territory is on there twice btw)

Limbonic Art - A Venomous Kiss Of Profane Grace

I thought I nominated "Among the Living"...? oh that's right that was the album list

Yeah, that was for the albums list.

Man, 2nd last day to nominate already.

Pretty sure we have all essentials covered but if anyone wants to nominate stuff they want to vote for, then they better get to it.

Motörhead - Killed by Death
Motörhead - Orgasmatron
Motörhead - Built for Speed
Motörhead - Dancing on Your Grave
Motörhead - Stone Dead Forever
Motörhead - No Class
Motörhead - Deaf Forever
Motörhead - Eat the Rich
Motörhead - Stay Clean
Motörhead - Iron Horse/Born to Lose

I got laughed out of town once already, but what the hell:

The Stone Roses - Love Spreads
Muse - Supermassive Black Hole
Europe - The Final Countdown

The Stone Roses - Love Spreads
Muse - Supermassive Black Hole

Objection! Europe are fine though.

Final Countdown rules

Final Countdown is false metal.

What about these bad boys:

Arcturus - For To End Yet Again
Bal Sagoth - The Splendour of A Thousand Swords Gleaming Beneath The Blazon Of The Hyperborean Empire (part 3)
Sigh - A Sunset Song
Emperor - With Strength I Burn
Manowar - Brothers Of Metal
Enslaved - 793 (Slaget om Lindisfarne)
Morbid Angel - Sworn To The Black (Laibach Mix)

Linkin Park - Faint

now you really are trolling!

What?! 'Faint' is a terrific track, nice and short too - they often get whiny as they don't use the broadest of emotional palettes, but not here.

What was that electronic depeche mode-y song that some ilmers loved?

No idea - my love for Linkin is entirely unrelated to any treatment they may have received on ilm. I'm sure that's only been positive anyway. Truth be told I see them as a great singles band, in the same way I like Jamiroquai, say. I find them much more difficult in long doses.

yeah well you're not nominating Jamiroquai!! :P

leave that to ME

(note: not actually nominating Jamiroquai)

jj will be thoroughly checking nominations by you I'm sure!

http://www.fonts4free.net/custom.php?owntext=Jamiroquai&ttf=xxii-ultimate-black-metal.ttf

Did that even work?

well that's my next tattoo sorted

do one for ILM

Glad I remembered this one: Foo Fighters - Everlong

And if that doesn't count, I'm gonna set fire to this place.

ooh wait

Green Day - "Longview"

Glad I remembered this one: Foo Fighters - Everlong

And if that doesn't count, I'm gonna set fire to this place.

is that a Prodigy nomination?

Eskimos & Egypt - "Welcome to the Future"

^ bet that's goth shite

haha not so much

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG5mh4qu69o

How does Green Day remotely qualify for this? Or the sex pistols? That's punk, and not even hardcore.

Pearl Jam - Brain of J

Had Yield on earlier, what an opener.

How does Green Day remotely qualify for this? Or the sex pistols? That's punk, and not even hardcore.

― blackened symphonic epic porno tech doom-core (J3ff T.),

I guess I am inclined to agree with you there. Sex Pistols did get laughed at by The Damned though for "making a bad heavy metal record" though, Green Day probably do not belong though.

Who objects to Green Day being vetoed? and why? (because "I like them/want to vote for them" is not a good enough reason)

Remember that jj wants to be strict on the definitions. What do you think, John?

neither are heavy or metal. Insults from other, more-pure-than-thou bands don't qualify them as metal, either.

Green Day maybe a no go, but that Sex Pistols record is heavy.

Would have preferred the nomenclature of the poll be "hard rock" instead of "heavy rock" fwiw. "Heavy" still implies some kind of metallic root.

I think that was the point. Hard rock meant the stones, yardbirds etc could qualify.

so our consensus here is that The Osmonds were more metal than The Rolling Stones, is what I am taking away from this

Stones, Yardbirds, etc... just seem like "rock" to me. "Hard Rock" makes me think ZZ Top, Skynyrd, Nugent, Billy Squier...and then more modern derivatives like Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, and so on.

"Metal" is whatever. Glam, Thrash, Death, Black, Speed. It's pretty broad, yet still well-defined. "Hard Rock" is the catch-all net after that. tbh, "Heavy Rock" isn't even a term I hear all that much.

I didn't want the osmonds in the poll. KJB and Bill Magill did.

if people have objections then they have basically 27 hours left to raise them as after that it will be too late.

I think I'll bow to jeff and others and veto sex pistols, no doubt there will be a punk poll along soon enough. Hardcore punk stays tho (for now).
Will consult with john later when hes free.

although I'm annoyed that my ludicrous selections aren't being considered there is no way I am vetoing The Osmonds

I dont mind crazy horses being in.

tempted to vote for "Hey, Mr. Taxi"

you will be too busy voting for "I Got Erection"

wait, no one nominated:

Ministry - Thieves

??????

I love Funkadelic and all, but seems an absurd inclusion given all the guitar based stuff being excluded.

these are heavy rock songs though

WHO THE FUCKING FUCK NOMINATED THIS Chris De Burgh - Don't Pay The Ferryman

Awesome tune! And the subject manner is totally heavy.

you know I saw that and I said to myself "I am going to complain a lot about the Osmonds songs so that Kerr doesn't notice that because looooooooool"

I like the song actually, but really? Next Michael Bolton will be nominated by Dan if we allow this.

Kid Rock - "Bawitdaba"

The Kinks - You Really Got Me
The Stooges - Loose

Cliff Richard - Devil Woman

stooges ok, others no. jj wants us to be strict

Kid Rock seems legitimate to me.

Wait, I could have Van Halen's 'You Really Got Me', but I couldn't have the Kinks one?

i object to "Under the Bridge" by RHCP being on the nom list
dont know the blind melon song but i object to it in principle

just want to point out that Wikipedia lists Linkin Park as nu-metal

kid rock is legit, just remember that i will be tallying the ballots so i will know which of you dicks vote for it

i've been super procrastinating on brainstorming for tracks noms, what time is the deadline tomorrow?

midnight UK time. But we are now being REALLY STRICT on nominations.

i object to "Under the Bridge" by RHCP being on the nom list

so do I

my own track suggestions will be last-minute. well, excepting the ones I think of right now, offhand.

Kayo Dot - ___on limpid form
Deathspell Omega - The Repellent Scars Of Abandon And Election
Esoteric - Circle
Shit And Shine - Toilet Door Tits
Mr Bungle - My Ass Is On Fire
Agalloch - Not Unlike The Waves <--- best Agalloch song by like 9,000,000,000 miles
Shining - Blackjazz Deathtrance <--- best song of 2010 so far
Lapsus Linguae - The Terse Crimp

so dan can stop nominating stupid shit, john & I have decided to be strict.

um look at the entire thread; I have not actually nominated a ton of stupid shit, jerkface

admittedly I have laughed at some apparently arbitrary rules that are not helping me understand what "metal" actually is, but the only thing I nominated on this list as an outright joke was the Eskimos & Egypt song

well thank you, ILX glitch

ilx is being well slow for me tonight, anyone else getting that?

would also like to nominate a Devin Townsend track but JJ has thrown me for an absolute loop regarding which one I choose - will probably play it safe and go with

Ocean Machine (Devin Townsend) - Bastard

anything else?

oh yeah, shit haha

The Wildhearts - Sky Babies
The Wildhearts - Pissjoy
The Wildhearts - Do The Channel Bop

and uh um uhhh

Neurosis - From The Hill
Neurosis - Enclosure In Flame
Neurosis - Through Silver In Blood

and

Ayreon - The Earth Extinction

I've overdone it haven't I

Oferchrissake only one Free and one Steppenwolf track?

Free - Walk in My Shadow
Free - Mr. Big
Free - Fire and Water
Steppenwolf - The Pusher
Steppenwolf - Monster/Suicide/America
Robin Trower Band - Bridge of Sighs
Robin Trower Band - Too Rolling Stoned

are people really going to be voting for more than 1 or 2 tracks by bands? I can see why with sabbath,zep,metallica etc. Cuz I'd expect them to place.
But oh well, I'd rather people voted for their top 50 (ranked) tracks ever than tactical voting.

John no more vetoes for you then?

Perhaps you could please change the title to Nominations end 11.59pm UK Time July 16th ?

tactical voting is false metal xxxpost

truth be told i am suffering from a rampaging hangover after discovering that my bloody mary mix was greatly improved by the addition of heroic levels of vodka and experimenting to find the perfect balance by making uh like 6 of them? so i might need to search through once again with a clearer head

lulz.

Cheers for changing the title.

If you want to stan for tracks meanwhile please head over to YOUTUBE Companion thread for ILM METAL/HEAVY ROCK TRACKS POLL

I can't go on that thread as it makes my computer have seizures, but if you could put this on I'd be grateful:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXmz_AphfGs

Oops. I didn't realise it would do that without url tags. Sorry!

Maybe a mod could remove that?

add the Kid Rock nom, jerkface!!!

also: no Prince or Teena Marie? y u brake xhuxk's <3, man!??

I thought Purple Rain might have got nommed actually

do you all want sex pistols in or out? majority wins.

Sex Pistols IN.

emil.y i'll post that youtube for you, but it's bloody awful.

I assumed Prince would be vetoed, but ok then:

Prince - Purple Rain
Prince - When Doves Cry

I'd accept Purple Rain but would veto When Doves Cry on the basis that anything sampled by MC Hammer can't be Metal/Heavy Rock.

I think Prince has some heavy rock tracks of which Purple Rain is one, however he is not a heavy rock artist, and not everything is eligible.

And If people veto it its vetoed.

Not allowing when doves cry

Pistols OUT. Of everything, from now until forever.

Right, scratch When Doves Cry and give me:

Prince - Fury

pfunk pestered me into giving this a go after stating in the albums nom list I didn't really want to. Did a top 10.

Its a min of 15!

then throw it out.

Or I bequeath 5 to J. Fever so we can maybe get some poodle tracks on.

Prince?

POODLE TRACKS!

you can make 15, i have faith in you!

Fever, drop me an email and tell me what your top 5 nominated poodle rock songs are. I'm not kidding!

Sent.

poodle rawk rulez! the rest is for fules!

Poodles have been added. The hair spray is burning my eyes, but I managed to reach 15 with the requested help.

HOORAY

50 mins left to add noms

Neil young - hey hey my my
Neil young - like a hurricane
