Feel free to campaign for tracks and albums in this thread, but post all youtubes on YOUTUBE Companion thread for ILM METAL/HEAVY ROCK TRACKS POLL
so this thread will load OK.

Thank you everyone!

And if there's any questions John & I will be happy to answer.

1 track ballot and 2 album ballots in already!

How are the points being assigned? 50, 49, 48, 47... and so on?

Yup.
Even if you only nominate 20 albums or tracks the #1 still gets 50 points and so on

Oh and when you vote, you should get an auto-reply from John & I. If you don't, then you better mention it here.
Also when you vote you should say so here to keep thread bumped.

This is going to be interesting as I have no idea what will win each poll.
But feel free to campaign for votes for albums/songs here or just muse about your fave albums/tracks.
I hope this is going to be a lot of fun.

Just sent my albums ballot. Tracks will take a little more deliberation, so look for it in a coupla days.

Got it, Thanks!!

I haven't even thought about mine yet. I will do it saturday evening perhaps.

So your number one choice goes at the top, yes?

Yes,
#1
#2
#3
etc

All done. But y'all knew that already.

Sent it in. Didn't spent an inordinate amount of time on it. Basically grabbed 50 albums from the nom list that I love and tried to figure out an order.

Yeah, I think that's how I'm going to have to approach it.

Done. At least two of my track nominations are missing from the list:

Prince - Fury
Pearl Jam - Brain of J

I've given them a vote anyway, but I guess their chances are probably well & truly scuppered, if they had any.

My tracks and albums ballots are in! I haven't gotten my auto reply for the tracks list though.

I got them, Possibly it wont reply if you already got one for the albums list?
Got both of Ismael's too.

I'ma do a write-in vote for Scandal Featuring Patty Smyth: "The Warrior"

You know that's just shootin' at the walls of heartache.

If I survive...

I suppose I should try starting on my lists now.

Ok done my 50 albums. I wasn't paying attention and missed the nominations bit, so couldn't get a couple of my favourites in, but c'est la vie.

album list sent; auto-reply received.

got it, thank you!

I had an idea, I wish I had thought of earlier. I wish I had limited voting to a max of 1 album per band. That could really have shook things up, but oh well.

Johnny Fever can run with that next year in his alternate poll!

yeah my album ballot's not going to be very long and i'm thinking of just limiting it to one album per band except for probably Zep; and not even necessarily my favorite by each but the hardest/heaviest

Oh you can vote for more than one it's ok. Just pick your 50 favourites from the list of 1000+ nominated albums! If you need more time to finalise it. it's fine. You got 2 weeks.

yeah, initially i tried limiting it to two albums max per artist, but found that i wasn't too happy with the results i got as such. so on came the zep-sab-mtrhed-ac/dc onslaught. i iz predictable. >:\

ps '70s rulez!

i cut my 236 shortlist down to 50..

wish i had said 100 votes now

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qG3bWEzQGB8/R6iuYwEuIXI/AAAAAAAABFY/aVmQCEqIP8A/s400/vote.gif

10 albums votes so far. 3 tracks votes.

Tracks is hard.

yeah i'm whittling my list down very slowly. probably for the best that i slacked on nominating more than a couple or it'd be even harder.

Spock's Beard - V

ok who snuck this stinker in

j3ff

or was it kjb

no St. Anger? :-/

its not a shite albums poll

irl lol. it's good to be back

k-mart shoppa

Done. Only one auto-reply though.

whoah 13 albums ballots and 5 tracks ballots. Quick work everyone and THANKYOU!

hey aldo, it appears it only auto-replies the once. But both are here.

I am a slacker, I haven't done a tracks ballot yet. I guess I can do that now. Even if i dont feel to well today (better than yesterday)

trying to resist just voting for all the sabbath/zep tracks tbh

not too bad, got it cut to 56. Just need to ponder on what 6 goes.

Yeah, I found tracks much easier too. Had it below 100 on the first pass.

I got it done. half of my choices were canonical that I couldn't leave out and the rest was stuff that's personal but probably wont place or if they do, not very high. So I shoved them up front.
Much easier than the albums poll.

haha someone just sent in an extreme doom/sludge/funeral ballot.
At least he didn't call me a hipster though :)

"funeral ballot" may be the most evocative accidental/incidental word combination I've seen in quite some time

funeral doom, al.

I'm going to listen to some of the albums on his ballot, so if you don't see me for a while then you know it's made me even more miserable than usual ;)

14 album ballots and 6 tracks ballots so far btw. Nice going everyone!

i made the connection that funeral is a metal subgenre, i'm just saying "funeral ballot" is a great phrase.

If we get a huge amount of ballots will the poll end up possibly being longer than 100? like to 150, or 200?

Well it wont cause any more work for john, so if we get enough 50 ballot votes and there aren't any 1 vote albums in the top 150/200 then it wont be a problem but only because it's an alltime poll. Would be nice to highlight some of the loved but more obscure stuff.
But it all depends on the results so I cant decide til they come in.

So get voting ladies & gentlemen.

That will be for the albums poll. The tracks poll will be 50-100 max depending on the amount of votes.

I will say up front that I am kind of amazed how both of mine turned out, the Tracks poll in particular which has a completely WTF top 10. At least the albums one looks like someone could actually think it was true.

I decided to do mine fast - though it still took at least an hour - after spending bloody ages on lj's 90s poll then nothing showing up. Was pretty happy with it, 'til I stuck ac/dc on this morning and suffered MAJOR voter's remorse.

I am saying nothing until I can post my votes and you all call me a mentalist.

as long as you dont give too much away on your ballots, why not try boosting some lesser known albums on here, some folks will take 2 weeks to do their lists.

Talk about classic metal!

Looking at that doom dudes list I mentioned, I totally wish I'd voted for the Warning album. I hadn't played it in ages and forgot how amazing it was.

ismael you can change your ballot if you want, just send the full list again and I'll delete the first one. Nothing has been added to a spreadsheet or anything, that doesnt happen til nearer the end.

I allow this on the EOY polls and so does musically, everyone always forgets something.

Thanks, but that way madness lies - I'm still pretty happy with it, and have faith in ilm's good taste to see ac/dc all right

well im sure they will do ok.
I changed 1 album on mine, stuck it just inside the top 20 and bumped everything down 1 place, dropped the last album off the list. So nothing major. You can always try that method to avoid madness.

I do wish that I had weighted the poll a bit. Like #s40-50 all get 10 points.
I will discuss it with john. I think i need to hand him over the ballots with the points in a column so it wont cause him hassle i dont think, but i'll see what he says. Glenn told me before weighting results dont make it any different to run the poll. so we'll see.

41-50 that is

Ok, it wont cause any extra work, so all albums from 41-50 will get 10 points allocated to them. 1-40 will still get the 50,49,48 points and so on.

So I think it's a fairer system and filling out your top 50 will mean the tail end votes will still count.

if i thought people wouldnt object i would have gave 31-40 20 points each

I object to the 10 point thing - it makes any thought about those albums irrelevant. I like my 42nd album more than my 48th.

Just leave well enough alone.

I dont want a 50 point gap between points, it gives other albums a fairer chance of placing.

But if everyone wants it scrapped I'll scrap it, but it is much fairer imo and the gap wont be so much.

I disagree, but it's your poll. Just seems unnecessary - if people liked those albums they would place them higher, thus giving them a fairer chance to place.

if you're doing a 50 album list from 1000+ nominations , it doesn't seem fair that some albums are treated as an afterthought that gets 1 or 2 points and wont affect the results at all.
You are ranking your list so your no 42 is still ranked ahead of the 48 and at the end you will post your ballot and everyone can see what you thought was best.

Plus some of us struggled to cut the list to 50. For myself at least , the album that was #50 wasnt 50 points better than the #1.
I can just as easy change it to 60 points for #1 and #50 will get 10 points. But I dont think the gap should be 50 points. I want every vote to count. an album getting 1 point doesnt mean much.

Well, why has every recent poll done 40 from 1000+ and no one has ever raised this issue? If you want them to affect the results you place them higher. Very simple. Why weight them at all if you want the results affected? Just rank 'em by # of votes and be done with it (actually, doing a top 10 of each decade that way could be interesting).

But do what you want - you're doing the work, you get to decide whatever rules you want, like lj did in that alt-90s thing.

In other polls actually, people avoid it by doing an unranked list and every album gets 20.5 points iirc.
In the metal polls we do it 40-1 I think. I dont really want unranked lists.

But this is an alltime poll and i want it to be a bit different to the EOY polls.
In an EOY poll your top 40 will be of different quality as its taken from one year. This particular poll is your top 50 albums from all time. For some people all 50 albums might feel of similar quality to them, or not too much between them.
Your 1-40 albums will still be getting more points than 41-50.

Like I said, Doowutchyalike. Just said me piece, washed my hands of it, etc.

Glenn agreed with me when i asked him about it first. And I trust his judgement with him being the stats king.

What glenn just said to me now

assigning points starting at 60 preserves differentiation all the way down, but reduces the ratio of #1 to #50 to 6, rather than 50

How about that as a compromise?

Makes sense to me.

oops i just saw this:

Gorgoroth - Destroyer
Gorgoroth - How to Philosophize with the Hammer

i think i may have nom'd this. it isn't two albums, it's one called Destroyer (or About How to Philosophize with the Hammer). sorry!

Ok thanks for that. Maybe a mod reading this will fix it.

album list sent! whooo!

everyone better vote for the song 1970 by boris, that is all i have to say.

Got it. I assume you mean you are going to be sending a tracks list in soon?

2 weeks to go already! ;)

so everyone with sundar,glenn & I that

assigning points starting at 60 preserves differentiation all the way down, but reduces the ratio of #1 to #50 to 6, rather than 50

Fine with me. I just really didn't like the idea of breaking differentiation.

True descending point scale worked just fine for the polls J0rdan and I just did, and with 10 or 20 slots dedicated to the same amount of points on your ballots will inevitably lead to more ties when you count down the results, but you're running this thing.

Personally, I don't mind giving something on my ballot a single point. Or two points. Or three points. I realize I'm working with a list of 50, and I've gone to the trouble of putting things in an order I'm happy with. Now I guess I can just throw the bottom 2/5ths of my list together pretty randomly.

No not at all johnny. It works like this:
#1 - 60 points
#2 - 59 points
#3 - 58 points etc

#41 - 19 points
#42 - 18 points
#43 - 17 points

#49 - 11 points
#50 - 10 points

o i c

I'll repost what Glenn said explaining why.

assigning points starting at 60 preserves differentiation all the way down, but reduces the ratio of #1 to #50 to 6, rather than 50

It is much fairer and means your later part of the ballot is now worth it, as they get rewarded with more than a paltry point, but there is still differentiation.

I assume everyone is happy now, so who wishes to stan for some albums? (don't reveal your ballots or # placings but recommend albums for folks to check out, like I totally forgot about that Warning album and got reminded)

What's the consensus on Slayer? I know people stan hard for the first few, but Seasons in the Abyss = their masterpiece imo. Am I alone here?

I'm not a thrash guy, so can't comment. Liked it as a teen and just don't care anymore.

Yeah, I think it's their best. The early ones are awesomely effective, but a bit too one-note.

xpost - and just realised I forgot to vote for it. Oh well.

I do hope people don't overlook Wino's best band, Spirit Caravan. Jug Fulla Sun is flat-out amazing.

Also, Riot seems to have fallen through the cracks of history. They were tearing it up in a sorta NWOBHM way before that wave even crested, and the immortal "Swords & Tequila" was ripped off by everyone. Just check out this video.

I still prefer vitus & obsessed over Spirit Caravan, but that may be because I got into them first, just before Spirit Caravan. I for one would love to see all bands make the poll, but it's up to you guys voting.

But it's real nice to see you guys repping for lesser known stuff!

hahahahaha after all of my over the year stanning i fucking forgot to nom gay witch abortion ffs

and belphegor. and vreid.

man im dumb

use your mod powers

not like anyone was gonna vote for them, plus I said anyone who voted can edit their ballot.
also add back in those osmonds tracks to shut kjb up :)

yeah!

chap> i emailed you back, theres a problem with your ballot.

Sorry, I've tried a couple of times now and it keeps happening. Something's up with gmail. I'll give it another go tomorrow.

ok, yours is the only ballot I've got today so I dont know if its just a problem with you or a general problem.

I listened today for the first time in a while to the two things in my ballot that I was the most wtf about (#3 and #4, those in the know) and you know what? I was right.

I still cant believe you voted for Spocks Beard and Vixen, but whatever floats yer boat.

SOMEBODY HAS JUST SUGGESTED TO ME THEY BOTH SOUND LIKE J-POP.

Have just voted in the albums poll, my ballot is packed with false metal, grunge and classic rock, sorry ILM troo metal doodz!

only 6 tracks ballots so far, but i think everyone wants to do their albums list first so plenty of time.
fwiw i found it much easier whittling down to 50 than with the albums.

the 60 to 10 plan sounds fine. we start with 60 and go down until their list stops right? If they have a shorter list the 1st entry is still 60? then:

59
58
57
...

rite?

I still think we might have to make this a top 150...

yeah, 60 points for #1 down to 10 points for #50.

I'd love to do a top 150 or 200 (so the lesser known albums get a bit of spotlight before the canon dominates) but it all depends on how many ballots we get. But if it's possible then it's no prob for me. John will (hopefully) present me with full results via the software so its no extra work for him whether its 100,150,200. But dont even think about asking for a rundown from 500.
Full results will be posted at the end as usual and I would assume the number crunching fun will be there too in some form. The software prog does it all says glenn.

18 album ballots I think we're at now.

OK I'd like to rep for Voivod - Angel Rat, because everyone called it a pop-metal cop-out when it was actually the weirdest, spookiest pop-metal album of all time. Also, loadsa stuff on this thread of 70's doom and this thread of 70's doom (warning : many youtube links therein)

Although thinking about it a lot of that stuff wasn't nominated but what the hell.

I voted for Angel Rat.

I thought you voted for Ratt

I thought you voted for Angel

I voted for Ratt too.

I did not vote for Angel.

I voted for Ratt too! ROUND AND ROUND!!!

I would have voted for Tar Legna but it wasn't nominated.

But I have to rep for Autopsy... people should def put them in their ballots. I'll post something in the youtube thread.

I haven't finished my trax ballot, but Ratt will be on it too.

I love Ratt. Though don't sleep on the EP - the tracks are scuzzier and trashy in the best way.

I'd rather listen to Hanoi Rocks or Turbonegro.

btw feel free to post spotify links to recommended albums.

Turbonegro - Apocalypse Dudes spotify link
Saint Vitus - Born Too Late
Fudge Tunnel - Hate Songs In E Minor
Reverend Bizarre - In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend

Happy listening and sorry americans cant listen without being sneaky.

btw folks, i can see now why it is important NOT to put numbers next to the list. Only copy & paste from the nominations list. Makes it ever so much easier.

another tracks ballot in, thanks.

not got dans ballot yet, after all his nominations.

sent!

got them both, thank you!

now at the 20 ballot album mark!

jj can you check email when you get a chance please?

Aw damn, I just realized I forgot to nom "Go With the Flow" by QOTSA. :(

Tracks ballot completed and sent!

thanks! That's 5 tracks ballots today. Keep em coming!

Just realised nobody nominated 'Prime Mover' by the Leather Nun.

aw, I just now saw that all those Osmonds songs got cut

gonna have to actually think about my ballot now

dan i asked john to re-add them to the list so stop kjb moaning. can you do it please?

I was kidding! jeez

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

ps do a genuine ballot please, you dont even know those songs!

Voted in the albums

got it.
chap is still having problems with sending his

kjb is finally happy

and so is chap, ballot is through, hurrah.

Praise Satan.

praise santa

11 tracks ballots now

No clear frontrunners as far as i can see btw. So all votes will count. even those in 50th place. If anyone wants to add to their shorter ballot let me know.

You mean there's some situation in which votes wouldn't count?

Oh wait, I just wrapped my drowsy head around your wording.

Never mind.

lol, you up late or too early?

btw if the youtube thread takes too long to load you can stan for tracks as well as albums here, just obviously post youtubes on YOUTUBE Companion thread for ILM METAL/HEAVY ROCK TRACKS POLL

My album poll is in.

Before I vote, I would like some uh, feedback.

What did you people do with some of the classic rock songs like The Who, Thin Lizzy, etc? Or more alternative like Nirvana?

I love those songs but I don't consider them to be metal or heavy rock in the high school parking lot sense. Did anybody vote for those types of songs?

Personally, I'm just picking my favourites from both lists, and not worrying about genre at all.

^this

^^^

finally managed to get tracks down to 174 by 63. wot to do?

113 by 40...WAH!

What did you people do with some of the classic rock songs like The Who, Thin Lizzy, etc? Or more alternative like Nirvana?

I voted for some Thin Lizzy, how are they not hard rock? At the poppier end of 70s metal (as that kind of thing was known then) I guess. What is the high school parking lot sense of metal these days?

hey dudes!

sorry ive been kinda absent for a few days pfunk, ive been busy doing wedding save the date guest list negotiations and other such ho hum garbage, will check my email as soon as i get a chance.

i think i might tackle getting my votes in today - stoked for the madness!

I VOTED (for albums)

Tracks too! c'mon

Johnny will gladly pad out your tracks if you can't make it to fifteen.

Dan wont have a problem.
Cheers John.
Bill - got it

Vote for your faves in the list. If you really dont think they belong then put them in the lower half? cuz it would be daft to leave stuff out as you dont think they fit, they got nominated and okayed. But just choose your faves forget what others say. But putting them in the lower half is a good alt suggestion.

shite, i forgot to nominate celtic frost - the usurper to the tracks.

What did you people do with some of the classic rock songs like The Who, Thin Lizzy, etc? Or more alternative like Nirvana?

I haven't done mine yet but I will be penalising a couple of tracks for not quite fitting the remit. Just bumping them down a couple of places, as although they may be better songs than what ends up above them, they're not better heavy rock songs. On the other hand, I agree with Matt #2 that Thin Lizzy are definitely heavy rock, and a good couple of the Nirvana noms are too.

I hope you do an albums list too!

and thin lizzy are definitely heavy rock.

I'm not really sure that I have the ability to do an albums list. Even with stuff like Sabbath I tend to just listen to a couple of tracks at a time. I'll have a harder look when I've finished my tracks ballot and see if I can pull together 15 that I'd totally vouch for.

Just sent both of mine in, they lean very 1970s it seems...

I bet you can make more than 15 easy, emil.y once you get started.

So is Purple Haze (1967) the earliest song nominated? And if so, can it be said to be the song that invented heavy metal?

I actually didn't vote for the odd thing (eg Fushitsusha) that would have made it, had I not decided they didn't fit my personal remit. I still don't understand why 2112 and Hemispheres weren't allowed in the tracks poll though, would have voted for them...

I think it was felt sidelong suites werent fair, dopesmoker by sleep, despite being 1 track, was vetoed too.

as for 1st HM song, that opens a can of worms.

I think anything pre-sabbath is seen as proto-metal, but everyone has their own opinion

this track ballot is BRUTAL

my tracks ballot has been sent in

I thought I could drop "Jacob's Ladder" but then I youtubed it and yes, it is awesome and I love it

like, I'm down to 58 songs and I REALLY don't want to cut any of them

finished my album list!

uh one big big problem i just noticed

Ulver - Nattens madrigal - Aatte hymne til ulven i manden
Ulver - The Madrigal of Night

these are the same album

you can use your magical mod powers!

dan, youre like i was with my albums ballot. shortlist of nearly 250. was murder getting down from 80-50. I could easily have allowed a ballot of 100 too as it makes no difference with this software and glenn showing me a few excel tricks, its so much easier than i thought it would be.

jj you read my email yet? lol. I had questions for you.

Just sent in my songs list.

god that sucked

It's extremely 70's flavored, but my taste is my taste, I guess.

xpost

My strategy: narrowed it down on a first pass to things I thought I could see myself voting for. Started down then in alphabetical order going down deciding whether I liked the individual thing more or less than the stuff I had already ranked. Then cut the list at 50. No revisions, gut instinct only. Hence my tracks ballot.

this track thing is nearly impossible

anyone else with me that cutting the albums list down was hardest?
It was good fun though. Im enjoying looking at all your ballots, but i have no idea whats gonna be in the top 20. it all looks so open atm, cant see obvious front runners.

Yeah, albums much harder than tracks. Got tracks down to 70 or so on first pass whereas albums was well over 100.

both were kinda hard but in different ways - its a lot easier for me to figure out my favorite album from artist whatever than nail down which 1 or 2 tracks i like best - also because i totally blew it at nomming tracks, lots of the obvious choices for me weren't there.

(an aside - pfunk if you want to look at those two ulver album names on the ballots that have come in so far and let me know if either or both have gotten votes ill pick whichever one has less and strike that to make things easier - prob hit me up on email to avoid spoilerization)

ok, i'll look now if you promise to reply to that email i sent days ago,lol

I PROMISE NOTHING

sent

got kjbs ballots

Albums very easy (esp. number one); tracks harder but mainly just a matter of narrowing down the number of tracks from my faves (as a non-metal type, I opted for "short" and "fast").

Two masterpieces not on the tracks list = Motorhead: "Snaggletooth" and Nirvana: "Sliver"

well you forgot to nominate them

John, let me know if you get this email please, thanks.

27 album ballots. Nearly 2 weeks left.

I'm making my vote based on an extremely complicated set of criteria that makes sense only to myself. Ballads, gone. Anything artsy, gone. Too classic rock, gone. Too punk, gone. Certain grunge is ok, as long as it's not too alternative. I'm trying to impress an imaginary high school parking lot in my mind.

as much as I was all for having this be just a discussion instead of a poll, I'm still looking forward to seeing the results, and I wouldn't be surprised if I end up going out and buying some of the records that end up placing highly

xxxxpost

I didn't forget. Was just fearful you'd delete them for not being sufficiently metal.

markers get your vote in already!

I think I'm the person who got the most nominations negged? (Although I did start nominating crap after a point, so fair enough.)

I think you nominated more than anyone tbh

ha that's not possible; it only seemed that way because I kept nominating like 1 or 2 tracks/albums at a time

you & johnny easily nommed the most im sure.
jj forgot to nominate his fave modern day band haha

I got a fair pile booted out too, possibly not entirely unfairly - I'd've included Blackstreet or The Stone Roses myself, but it's pfunkboy's poll after all. I also somehow had a Linkin Park album discounted though, which I felt was a touch harsh.

Linkin Park is on there though, unless you weren't the one who nominated Hybrid Theory...?

Guilty - but I also put up Collision Course which disappeared into the ether, who knows why

Just vote for yr vetoed stuff anyway. I'm going to.

i am much proud to have voted...for Hybrid Theory!

Blackstreet

??? There must be another Blackstreet I don't know about - or maybe No Diggity is really unrepresentative of their ouvre.

There's a version of 'Fix' with Slash & ODB that rocks bigtime

Just vote for yr vetoed stuff anyway.

dont bother

(point of principle, dude)

Anyway, more importantly, is this a duplication in the albums list at the top:

Saxon - s/t
Saxon - Saxon

?

yeah I guess it is.
and please dont vote for stuff not nominated.

another couple of albums ballots in, cheers everyone.

john please check email when you get a chance.

I've just realised I totally forgot about The Darkness ;_;

http://www.lfchistory.net/images/newspapers/various/1906-04-21hurrah.jpg

Is that signed 'Rafa'?

"To Darragh love , Rafa!

woo another 2 ballots

Tracks is hard.

nah its much easier

18 of them so far

reached the 30 album ballots mark

Tracks is nearly impossible. I just wish System Of A Down's Chop Suey and especially Deer Dance were nominated. Huge omission.

You should have remembered! oh well, we got a lot of nominations, you just need to choose from them.

I wonder what is actually going to win the tracks poll.

I really have no idea. Nothing will be tabulated until the end. I would doubt anything is running away with either poll, but feel free to speculate or stan for things. Plenty of people still intending to vote I'm sure.

I would imagine 3 particular bands to dominate but no idea what songs/albums.

but all that can change with more votes.

Will you be doing the full top 100 run-down, or just 50?

tracks or albums?

both!

Probably 100 for tracks if there's enough votes. Maybe 200 for albums if there's enough votes. Want to try getting the obscurer albums in the spotlight rather than just doing the canon. But only because its an alltime poll.

plus it will stop people moaning "wheres the real metal" ;)

If anyone wanted more than 100 top tracks I'd do it if there was enough votes.

must. finish. tracks. soon.
must. not. lose. mind...
...too. late.

you lost it long ago, your albums ballot proves that! ;)

another ballot for both in, cheers.

Counting down 200? Good luck with that.

People moaning about "where's the _____" in these polls is one of the most fun parts. You'll deprive the rest of us that happiness if you count down the top 200.

200 it is!

(and there will still be where'd the ___________" it's ILM, and usually it's done by non-voters. So vote!)

Would be good if we could pass the 50 ballot mark

I can vote again if necessary!

I will look out for a Fohnny Jever ballot then...

I think that's a job for Easy's Nappin'.

can't wait til Tuomas shows up to lament the lack of dance music and the dominance of guitar bands

"There's no way any of this is as heavy as Alice Coltrane."

I wish Tuomas and others would read the rundown of results and check stuff out.

I do think that it might only be the regular rolling metal thread readers/lurkers that will be reading the results thread. One thing I will say is that the ballots so far are very ILM, a great wide range of subgenres being voted for. The top 200 looks like it could be quite interesting. I cant wait for a week on tuesday to see the results myself. But you guys will need to wait!

As usual, I'm much more intrigued by the tracks results than the albums results, but anytime an all-time list of albums is calculated, I'm on board.

Most people have said when it comes to metal, albums are way more important, but I guess in the 70s and with hair metal, there was a time songs got on radio and were big hits, so if you dig that era, tracks might be more enjoyable. Though I have no idea where songs are going to place. It's probably fair to say the more extreme stuff wont fare so well.
But the albums are of more interest. I just did a tracks one as its an alltime poll, i figured people could enjoy that. Got a lot more album ballots, but there's over a week yet.

Here is some
Terrorizer
Kerrang
RAW
lists. Maybe some will find it helpful, or you just want to have a look or a laugh.

It is interesting how things have gone in and out of fashion.

Yeah, it's fair to say metal is a genre where the importance of albums is completely exaggerated. On behalf of people like me, thank you for even bothering to take on a tracks poll at the same time.

It's my pleasure. We got over 20 ballots already so no reason why we wont get a great list, though it wouldnt surprise me if half a dozen bands dominated it, lol

Metal and jazz are the two genres from I'm most likely to play an album all the way through. Even in the metal chart heydays of the 70s and 80s I always thought of the singles as how that fit on the album. It's why I didn't really want to do a tracks list, and why I thought ten was enough.

I was actually thinking of you when I decided to do it.
xp (johnny fever)

I always play albums all the way through. Never seen the point of buying stuff just cuz of singles on it, i want a good album statement. Dont give a shit if someone says that's rockist. If the bands they guys liked made awesome albums they would shout it from the rooftops.
I like plenty of electronic/dance 12"s, but you cant beat a quality album.

and some of my fave albums are in said field.

as well as fave gigs.

those kerrang/raw lists are worth looking at for a chuckle btw. Tho johnny fever and ioannis might love them!

another couple of album ballots in, cheers.

can't wait til Tuomas shows up to lament the lack of dance music and the dominance of guitar bands

I'm looking forward to griping about the lack of hip hop.

Hey, I nominated "She Watch Channel Zero" (but didn't vote for it in the end).

I might have voted for the Follow For Now version.

You, me and maybe five other people remember Follow For Now.

I tried to convince some friends to roadtrip to NYC to see them open for Son of Bazerk. And then again to Atlanta for a headlining show with 24-7 Spyz opening. Sadly, neither trip was made.

Nate, your list had 52 in it, had to cut off the bottom 2. Thanks for voting though!

tracks ballots lagging behind for now.

Ok I voted. I hope I never have to do this again.

find it hard cutting it down to 50? :)

Well yeah. Also, it's so much arbitrary, meaningless work that will be crushed into further meaninglessness by the votes of people who think that The Who and Joan Jett are metal.

Yeah, but it's just a bit of fun. It's not meant to be definitive. There is no such thing as a list of alltime best records, there never can be, but it's fun making a list and seeing what people really really rate highly.
But think of it this way, some ilxors who may not have heard a lot of really good stuff might now discover it. Not even just by the results, but by reading peoples ballots.

On one of the threads some posters are complaining about all ilm polls being like a boring mojo canonical list, this poll will certainly NOT be that.

If some ilxors discover the joys of Yob or Manilla Road or The Lord Weird Slough Feg, then our work is worth it!

another couple of votes, cheers!

Just had a look at the Kerrang! top 100 metal albums of all time list, done in 1989. All fairly canon in the top 10, except for Montrose by MOntrose at #4, a band I know nothing about. Anyone?

That Montrose album is quite good. Young Sammy Hagar on vocals, Ronnie Montrose leading the band with some serious guitar licks. "Bad Motor Scooter", "Space Station #5" and several other great tracks.

I'll drop a vid in the accompanying video thread.

Thanks, sounds worth hearing. I would venture to speculate that Van Halen are one of the bands that have suffered critically since that poll was done.

I'd agree, which is a shame. Only one duff album in their first DLR incarnation. Loved 'em as a kid, might love 'em more now.

I think Van Hale, while not as critically popular as they were, are on the way back up. I think the rise of Classic Rock Magazine has helped with a LOT of those bands, the type of bands Mojo are too sniffy about and wont cover.

Van Halen's current critical slip probably has a lot to do with the fact they haven't released a new album since 1998, and haven't released a good album since 1988. Now that they're back in the studio with DLR, I'm less worried about how his voice will hold up than I am about Eddie's songwriting abilities. He's taken a LONG TIME off.

Not a band I've ever cared for, but I do enjoy spinning their 1st album occasionally, you cant fuck with that album.

That's a great record, yes. I will check out some more of their stuff on the back of this discussion.

You still have saint vitus and Trouble albums to check out!

and plenty of other good stuff when the results come in, no doubt!

another albums vote in. ILM doing us proud!

woo another vote, thanks!

I bet a huge percentage of votes come in towards the deadline. I know I'm not voting until I thoroughly analyze the heavyosity of the nominated tracks.

i would expect a few on deadline day. Possibly all the people who did album ballots might decide what the hell and do a tracks ballot.

40 album ballots so far.
24 tracks ballots.

Thanks to all who have voted, i'm really pleased so many have taken the time. If we get to 50 then that would be amazing.

I submitted my Tracks ballot. (I submitted my album ballot with the Tracks title earlier, don't be a dummy like me).

It took a while to narrow it down, and it's mostly older well known stuff. If you Carcass and Death fans want to be represented, don't forget to vote.

got it, thanks!

Just looking at the Terrorizer lists http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/terroris.htm and the magazine was really a different beast when it started. Swans,Whitehouse,Blood Axis in the top 10 of the 96 EOY poll.

If any of those bands made this poll, people would be crying false metal!

(note that I have never actually heard Blood Axis)

Thank you for voting in the ILX Metal/Heavy Rock poll, this is an auto
reply letting you know it has been received.

Thanks
pfunkboy & JJ

grrrrrr...nevah agin'.

People who cry false [anything] are annoying, but metal dudes are some of the worst.

And of course Swans are in the album shortlist.

thanks Ioannis, did you have trouble getting your shortlist down to 50?

what is this measly fifty you speak of? try "one hundred! two hundred!"

like me and the albums ballot then.

Maybe I'll do a top 300 albums, just to thank everyone for all their hard work in voting. ;)

I might even let Ioannis post his 250 strong shortlist after the results are in :)

Are you guys more interested in the album results or tracks? For me, the albums seem almost predictable. I can't wait to see the track results.

Both, But i will not lie that I'm more interested in albums. But I think the results wont be predictable as its ILM we're talking about, but with a week to go a lot can change. I think people did album ballots first so I expect a flood of singles ballots. I kinda feel that will be more predictable but who knows!

Maybe I'll do a top 300 albums, just to thank everyone for all their hard work in voting. ;)
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, July 25, 2010 1:48 PM (6 hours ago)

Sounds excellent to me!!

I think I will then! Looks like we can put the roll out a week earlier than planned, so its just gonna be done in the same time period as planned. Lots of great albums will fall in that range and it will mean some coverage for highly rated culy albums that 5 or 6 people have rated really highly (extreme metal and hair metal fans rejoice)
This is not a response to that Rolling Stone 500 I read tonight, oh no...
ILM Polls pissover that.

Tracks is staying at 100 though. Im hoping to roll that out next tuesday if things go to plan , but that's all outwith my hands. The real hard work is done by others.

and yes, I know I'm insane :)

indubitably. \m/ ^_^ \m/

there is no point in doing more than a top 100 IMO, and that's stretching it

If you do more than 100, do the others after. Keep the surprises - people wondering what's next helps drive the conversation.

There's over 1000 albums nominated. Lots of huge albums will fall between 200-300. Others will still miss out, there's going to be lots of surprises I think. So im doing a 300!

I think over 700 albums have had a vote

Why not do a top 700? Just kidding - "Keep the surprises - people wondering what's next helps drive the conversation" is right. I'd probably go with 50 or whatever number means a few big 'uns miss out. If you want to do more, do them fast I say. Like 300-200 in one day.

I'd do a top 50 + "honorable mentions"

yeah ok i'll do the 300-200 as quickly as possible then. Its no great problem for me. I just want to see spotlight on these albums.

Yeah obviously with a top 300 we'll have to go faster than 10 albums a day or whatever, but it would be nice to slow down to that when we get closer to the end - say at the album #50 or 100 mark.

I still say do them, but after the top 100. Metal nerds will still discuss but we keep the mystery longer.

This countdown does not need to be any long than the top 100, seriously. There's always talk about the other albums from 101 and on after it's over, but if you're paying attention to your audience here, nobody wants to sit through a top 300 countdown. Especially if you zip through it.

Yeah the last thing I need to know is that a "huge album" (whatever that means) reach the dizzy heights of #258.

How about this? Count down the top 100 in each category, THEN make another thread for counting down 200-101 or 300-101 for people who might want to see where other things placed. People would arguably be more interested in those AFTER seeing what cleared the top 100. Since this is an all-time list, I think we already have no idea what would make the top 100 anyway, and if you count down from 300 to begin with, a lot of the guessing would get swept away.

you're not convincing me to change my idea so far

I'm with the 100 only guys, half the fun is the disbelief someone has when they realise their personal favourite won't make the cut. Just a shame that Lex won't be voting in this.

"All fairly canon in the top 10, except for Montrose by MOntrose at #4, a band I know nothing about. Anyone?"

Late to answer this, but this album fucking slays.

so basically you're saying "ignore the first week of results" by going ahead with this top 300 idea

Take a week, count down 100-1 like HOW WE DO HERE ON ILM. People will be excited. Yay! It stirs up conversation. People participate. Your thread is a par-tay!!! When the thread's over, all the people drunk on metal and high on heavy rock come to you and say "Kerr, man...how about you tell me the rest of the top 300 was. NOW I'm really interested, man!"

If you start at 300, it's like having a kegger but insisting that people play a game of Scrabble first.

And if you do 300, please put the first 200 in a different thread so I can skip it until afterwords.

you guys are no fun.

Compromise, I'll do a 200. Final offer.

but doing a thread after the 200 with 300-201 is an idea i like too, so thanks for suggesting it.

Okay, most of us will show up when you get to #100. Final offer.

Fine

how about just a top ten

I'm with Johnny. Please do the top 100, and any others after. Please.

xpost

Or a Top 10 and never share the other votes! That would be ballsy.

Counting down from 100 is kind of a comfortable behavior around here. If you upset it in anyway, it throws people into an uncomfortable position. No one here is saying we're not interested in finding out what's outside the top 100, but we're fine with waiting until afterwards (and would actually prefer it that way). Is this poll for you or for ILM?

oh snap, shit is getting heateed

When I'm looking at big honking lists, I look at the top twenty or so as recommendations to buy and only look at anything below that with the hope that it will somehow confirm my tastes.

I now think you should post #275 through #251 and then append the others to random posts you make on the rolling last.fm thread

Look, the 100 is probably going to be mostly canonical picks that you can predict. I want some spotlight on the 101-200. If you don't wish to click on the thread til the top 100 countdown starts then that's your prerogative.

"Hold Steady at #63! So I'm not alone!"

I'm with the people who say top 100 first. Then, and only then, release the rest of the results, either in immediate full form or countdown, I don't really mind. Otherwise you will completely lose any tension involved in the thread - if we already know that 'great album x' has only reached #250, then there will be no anticipation or disappointment, and thus no discussion.

Saying that you can join the thread later is nonsense - how will we be able to scroll down to an unknown point in the thread without spoiling the surprise?

more than 100 is just https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZTdfyaRHK4 dude!

You could always do a count-up, then you can do however many you like or for as long as your stamina can take it.

Sorry Herman, have to agree with the 100 crew, lower items later (and possibly in a different thread) is the way to go IMO.

how about just the top five

i can always just do 200-101

in all honesty I just care about #7

Only prime numbers! Metal is indivisible.

#7, #12 & #15 & permanently delete all the rest of the ballots & tabulated results

start with #666 and then proceed counting down the top hundred, i always say.

#666 has gotta be revealed first, obv

FUCK XPOST

^^^^ Genius idea. xxpost

fuck ILM, also hails

Only prime numbers! Metal is indivisible.

...yet not under God, oddly enough.

do the poll, but then only post the playlist of Casey Kasem's American Top 40 for the week ending March 26th 1983

Only prime numbers! Metal is indivisible.
...yet not under God, oddly enough.

All metal is from prior to 1954.

so xhuxk wuz right all along??????

jj, can you check your email for totally unrelated but awesome news.

so its agreed, poll cancelled due to irreconcilable metal ranking differences.

no

joeks bruv ;-)

Okay, seriously: is the idea that you get to highlight some of the lower-down albums, that are still worthy of a bit of attention? I can see how that would work, if there are a lot of voters, and I see we have 40-odd, so that should work. I think the feeling is that the countdown shouldn't be interminable, but if all lower down albums are at least getting a few voters (and hence a few fans), then it should definitely still feel worthwhile. I reckon those lower albums should be done quick-ish, though, if this is the plan.

Yeah, that is pretty much the idea. I'm just no good at explaining things. You more or less nailed it.
You know how johnny ran an alternative poll? This is kinda it + the *"canon" poll.
I think most people know what the RAWK ** Canon is, but even though an ILM *** "Canon" will be slightly different, I want to bring to the attention lesser known but highly rated "Cult albums". If 5,6,7 people vote highly for albums, I feel the least they deserve is to see the albums get a wee bit in the spotlight. If i posted them after the top 100 **** "Canon", we all know most of you will ignore it. I promise I'll zip through the 200-101 so that none of you are being kept waiting for results.
But please remember, but with a lot of work at this end by several people,I'm on top of the whole thing, the turnaround will (fingers crossed) be right away practically rather than the original week I thought it would take. So there will be no extra waiting.

Infact, the tracks rollout will finish a week on friday night, I shall probably do 200-101 over that weekend, with 100-1 mon-friday.
So if you really wish to avoid 200-101 then you can avoid the thread that weekend (but why would you do that? I want to highlight said rated cult albums).

Neil, feel free to translate that for me :)

* Shudders
** ffs
*** shoot me now
**** BOOM

xp Nah that makes sense, I think.

And I can understand wanting to stop the poll being predictable, if that's a goal...

yep, you sure you don't want to translate for me?!

If that's the aim, how about using day 1 for honorable mentions only, rather than counting down categorically? Then you can give Dajjal's Spawn their day in the sun for being #186, without giving away that Physical Graffiti stalled at #187.

If 5,6,7 people vote highly for albums, I feel the least they deserve is to see the albums get a wee bit in the spotlight.

Wait, is it looking like 7 high votes isn't enough to get into the top 100? Because 7 votes near the top has often been enough to get into more general polls. This wouldn't change my opinion, mind you, as I definitely want to see all the results, but I'm interested to know how well the poll is doing.

If i posted them after the top 100 **** "Canon", we all know most of you will ignore it.

I don't know this. In fact, I think it's completely wrong judging from past poll thread behaviour. We managed to get even more people talking about Paavoharju in the post 2005-9 results discussion, even though they only came in at about #181. Also, after his poll LJ did a special awards section for albums that got a number one vote and no others, which highlighted more obscure albums that at least someone loves. Plus, there's always a good bit of discussion in the 'post your ballots' threads. Of course, the people who voted for the albums tend to have to be the ones to spark the discussion, but if as you say you have albums with 5 high votes then there should be enough passion about to ensure that they do.

if you really wish to avoid 200-101 then you can avoid the thread that weekend

Again, how would this work? I'm not against talking about the albums that come lower, I'm against ruining the flow of the thread by removing suspense, and thus ensuring that we don't get as much discussion. Nobody will be able to just join in at number 100 as if the previous hundred haven't been posted.

By the way, I'm totally for revealing album #666 first. I think that would be most fitting.

only if it's a six-way tie

Also, you tend to give a lot of stats at the end, which I love, and again, it makes people chat about stuff more after the main results have been finished. So you could give the full list, a list weighted by average rating, etc etc.

xpost

there will be some sort of stats stuff posted at the end as usual, if Glenn isnt too busy as I haven't got a clue what half of it means, and I have it in front of me!

Without wanting to give stuff away, there's 262 albums ATM with over 4votes/100 points. And I expect more votes by monday.

I promise you, once the results countdown starts you will enjoy it. There will be no lack of suspense.

I guess I can post #666 first even if it is a bit cheesy.

do it! Bound to be the falsest of false metal :-)

just checked and there's 648 individual albums voted for so far. Get to it voters if you want 666

(we had duplicates in there earlier that the program found and they were deleted for me taking the # back below 700)

Emil.y , Stats we will definitely have are voter enthusiasm, Voters by Vote Diversity , which we always have on the metal EOY poll.
But there will be at least one GREAT thing that we are going to keep to ourselves until all results are rolled out, but I know you all (ok, mostly) will love it.

Need to ask Glenn what else we can do. If there's any suggestions I can ask Glenn if the prog will do it.
So fire away.

jj did you get the email?

you know he won't ever answer you, right

lol, why?

because he is a massive luddite with the attention span of a mayfly

love him like a brother, like seriously no fooling, but... you know

(of course now he will answer you to make me look like a jerk, so you're welcome in advance)

lol, guess who replied

oh hey guys whats up

Dan's in hiding

If 5,6,7 people vote highly for albums, I feel the least they deserve is to see the albums get a wee bit in the spotlight.

I'm used to only about 10-15% of my ballot making the final results, so I'm not exactly butthurt about it when things I vote for don't show up. This kind of thing smacks of a "WE'RE ALL WINNERS HERE" mentality.

you have your rules for your alternate polls, I have mine :) Just wait til you sit back & enjoy it.

If you don't like it at the end, then feel free to criticise, but I'm pretty sure most people will enjoy it.

Anyway I'd far rather we spent less time arguing over this and we spoke about albums we'd like to see do well. Some of these albums are in this weeks metal listening clubs (nothing extreme or growly vox).Please check them out!

And don't forget YOUTUBE Companion thread for ILM METAL/HEAVY ROCK TRACKS POLL

I have just come up with a way to do a top 200 without spoiling the suspense that you guys are talking about, it's so staggeringly simple you guys should feel ashamed at not coming up with it!
However I'm not telling you what it is, AS I DONT WANT TO SPIL THE SUSPENSE! mwahahahaha.
But trust me on this, when you see it, it's only going to ADD TO THE SUSPENSE!

Trust me.

*spoil

haha, im not spilling it either though.

i like cheese.

I knew that when I saw your ballot ;)

ONLY 200?! fine... but you still have to reveal #666.
I can't wait for the unspoiled suspense and excitement!

yeah I'll start with 666. It should really be a rundown from 666 but that would spoil suspense :)

48 albums ballots in btw.

as co-curator of this poll i have been informed of the suspense mechanism in place for the 200 reveal and it is simple and brilliant and will be totally awesome.

There speaks a man who knows!

49 album ballots in, who wants to be the 50th??!!

wait why have i not heard lj talking about his ballot

He hasn't sent one in, that's why.

LJ are you joining us?
Who else plans on voting actually?

#50 is in

and #51 I think

and 36 tracks ballots, its catching up on the albums.

It's possibly a bit too early to say, but the top 100 tracks is looking very exciting, some surprises in what's in & out so far. But plenty of time for songs to get in, it all looks pretty close. So stan for your fave tracks now, it might make a difference!

couple more trax ballots in, cheers

Just voted. 21 albums and 50 tracks.

I guarantee I know what the #1 song is. #1 album is a tougher call.

oh man 3 more album ballots and a trax ballot. Keep em coming!

heh bill, there's about 30 songs it could be. Some huge ass hits out there over the past 40 years.

as for albums, that could be anything too, that shits tighter than scrooge mcduck.
Votes coming in for the remainder of the week can change things. I promise you, this poll is exciting!

so get your albums & tracks ballots in if you can everyone!

41 Tracks ballots
58 Albums ballots

Way exceeded my expectations, thanks to all who have voted and to those who intend to vote!

My tracks ballot will make it, I promise. Probably at my usual time of an hour before voting closes, mind you.

And I do promise you, it is looking like the least metal ballot a metal poll could possibly have. BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

I really hope you do an album ballot too. You only need 15 albums. I know there's more than 15 albums on there you like.

IF you can't get to 15, just let Johnny Fever fill out the rest! Worked great for my Tracks ballot.

:D

If i find votes for scorpions - wind of change i know jf is behind it then.

No, that's the Scorps song I am most definitely NOT supporting. My push is 99% behind Rock You Like a Hurricane and about 1% behind the other non-whistling Scorps tunes.

winds of change is a song i totally love and total FAIL for me not voting it...

It was my senior class's theme song back in 1992. It was played at every senior class event, including graduation. If I never hear it again, it will be too soon.

You're gonna love these results

will ask a mod to embed an autostarting youtube just for you

My senior class song was "Bridge Over Troubled Water." In 1991. truly au courant.

I have no idea what our senior song was. Where is dan? 1991 also btw

clearly it would have been a Boyz II Men song.

I was lax in the nominating phase, because the Scorpions song I wanted to vote for was "The Zoo"

Scorpions - Wind of Change was in my shortlist but it ultimately didn't make it in.

heh bill, there's about 30 songs it could be. Some huge ass hits out there over the past 40 years.

I may be wrong, but I dont think I will be.

"Robot Man" is the Scorpions track that shoulda been on the list. I blame myself as much anyone :(

I have no idea what our senior song was. Where is dan? 1991 also btw

I am pretty sure it was this:

if not that, it was this:

lolol damn yankees

I've just realised Mr Roboto isn't on the tracks list. Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Herman's Kilroy.

i dont get that

not a Styx fan then?

no

tracks be catching up,quite a few have come in today, 44 ballots received. No albums ballots today however. Anyone still planning to vote for albums? JJ says LJ has gone rather quiet on the matter. Dont let him down LJ, he needs your voting bloc! ;)

Ballot submitted for tracks, tbh I could have reordered them indefinitely, but I though enough was enough. As per my albums ballot, chronically lacking in true metal :-(

"thought"!

I thought of this last night, but forgot to ask at the time: does this new method of listing the 200 mean that 200 goes up the same time as 100, 199 goes up the same time as 99, and so on? Because that would be NOT good.

no no

I could tell you now what it is, but i cba arguing over it. We're doing it, jj & i settled on it, glenn thinks its great. So does viceroy and Neil whom i asked for advice.

I'll tell you it now as long as you realise that its the way we're doing it.

Want me to email it to you? or pop on gmail chat and i'll tell you (incase other's dont want to know, I know part of the fun is wondering what the format is)
But I'll tell anyone who emails me.

I'm fine w/ waiting.

It's a good system. John & I agreed on it last night. We're doing a 250 btw, but the system guarantees suspense. There's albums outside the 250 with 5 votes. Plus I expect a deluge of votes in the last 2 days. If anyone is worried about suspense killing, don't be. But I'll explain it offboard no problem. One of the "objectors" gave us the basis of the idea. You can work it out quite easily as it's so simple. And the 5 people who know what it is think its a good idea. This poll isn't just about the best known albums, it's for everyone,including extreme metal fans. This way will keep most happy. The unexpected albums get the spotlight during rundown while any shock low placings ,the format means you wont know what is missed out, so suspense will be mantained in the top 100.
And you should be able to work out what we're doing from that!
TRUST US!

Tracks is 100 though. I think we're all agreed on that.

when we get down to 100, it will roll out in normal order.

I guess everyone is happy, hurrah!

Another tracks & albums ballot, cheers!

61 Album ballots and 46 Tracks ballots. To get in the top 250 an albums pretty much needs 5 votes min. There's some between 201-250 with 8 or 9 votes.

I'm well pleased with the amount of voting.

What happened to Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You? It was nominated, and no one suggested it shouldn't belong.

I don't know, I guess I missed it, sorry!

If Vol. 4 is number 195 like it was in that other guy's poll, i am going to start a riot. I was listening to that coming into work this morning, fucking incredible.

Best Black Sabbath Album

esp read from here Bill
Best Black Sabbath Album

I seem to be all over that thread. Still not a fan of Ed 3's trashing of Vol. 4, but if we all agreed on everthing, this would be pretty boring.

dan is right btw (about jj not replying to emails)

Bill what will you do if Vol IV isnt top 100?

Vol IV was my 2nd Sabbath album, and top 15 in my ballot.

Bill what will you do if Vol IV isnt top 100?

Question the meaning of life and probably travel the world on foot in utter despair.

Vol IV is my least favorite of the first four and didn't make my ballot. Other Sabbath did.

and without johhny's help too

On both album and track lists, no less!

Anyone got any requests for stats at the end? If it can be done we will do it for you.

I belatedly discovered That Metal Show on VH1 Classic this summer (probably cuz it's buried on channel 470-something), and enjoy Eddie Trunk's geeky love and knowledge of everything heavy rock (http://www.eddietrunk.com/index.cfm?pid=402097). I wonder if he'd submit a ballot if someone snaked this thread to his attention.

dunno the program, but he posts on ilx?

Regret: I wish to hell that I'd nommed Faith No More "The Real Thing" the title track. That's one of my favorite songs in the universe and I have no idea how I'd forgotten it.

Oh shit, only two days left to do my tracks. Can we expect the results pretty sharpish?

xpost - great track, but I'm certainly glad Patton later stopped putting that vice on, whatever it's supposed to be.

VOICE on.
