Lookin For Some Hot Stuff: ILX 70s RAWK Tracks Poll - Metal, Buttrock, Punk, AOR, and More NOMINATIONS THREAD (nomination period closes 17OCT12)

tracks sister to 1970-1979 WTF - The Hard 'n' Heavy 'n' Loud + Krautrock, Arty, Noisy, Weird, Funky, Punky Shit - Albums Poll! Nominations ! (ends Oct 15). as i explained there - i'm really hoping to see alot of tracks that would qualify from artists/albums that really don't qualify for albums poll (not restricting it to that mind you, you can still vote for 'supernaut' don't worry, just saying if you wanted to nominate goodbye yellow brick road on the basis that some of it really does rawk well it's gonna get vetoed here i bet but in tracks poll 'all the girls love alice' and 'saturday's alright for fighting' could totally get in). also for big canonical artists ag has quarantined - stones bowie floyd boss - i will consider only tracks/singles NOT on those albums listed above and tbh for springsteen you're gonna have to remind me what tracks could possibly qualify. i'll be fairly catholic there and esp friendly to hard rock moves/gestures by not normally rocking artists. so if ag vetoes it cherrypick the most shredding cut and it probably makes my poll. i guarantee you somebody maybe even you will suggest something i'm unfamiliar w/ so if this is the case (maybe it's a record some huns recorded or by some other ppl that don't even speak english) and i go 'wuh?' at a suggestion it would awesome if you have a spotify or youtube link or someone somewhere describing it in terms that suggest it qualifies. also when voting comes there will be some voting limits of sorts put in place, not as restrictive as album poll but you will not be able to submit yr top 100 aerosmith tracks nor for that matter have a ballot that has peter criss tracks at 1-10 and then fills out the rest of the ballot w/ whatever. so nominate accordingly i guess. nominations close on october 17th 2012, midnight, eastern standard time.

updated list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AsM36o-L6dNEdHQwMTRPa0o1OUEyNVhZM3lmZTVTS1E&output=html

vetoed a few things that are rock but not neccessarily RAWK. finding that loud fucked up guitar, heavy riff, or outright screaming helps yr odds. cod reggae not so much. changed abba and kate bush tracks to others i thought qualified more. re: the doors i allowed riders cuz it's such a rock radio staple and it's "dark" but i can't see myself allowing la woman or love her madly also, gotta draw the line. there is at least one other track on la woman that would qualify iirc. 'belfast boy' i allowed just cuz, if it somehow places top 100 i may come to regret it. allowing some new wave if it rocks surprisingly hard (blondie have several of these tbh) and/or there's some nice guitar wank on it like 'you're all i got tonight'. that's probably the only cars (from the first album at least).

agreed, thats the only cars song i could imagine a headbanger rocking out to which is a pretty lol image

Speadsheet is missing The Pink Fairies - Do It

of if beavis and butthead would sing along to the riff

although perhaps thats not a great barometer since they sang along to "over the hills and far away"

o fuck - sorry pink fairies DEFINITELY belongs (ie i will without a doubt be voting for it)

ok corrected

sincere thanks for nominating the track this thread gets its title from blank! i've added stuff directly to the spreadsheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AsM36o-L6dNEdHQwMTRPa0o1OUEyNVhZM3lmZTVTS1E&output=html - that i didn't bother to post here so it's worth a gander if you're unsure something has been nominated (eg i'd already put 'dissident aggressor' on there) but don't sweat renominating stuff that's already on there, it ain't no thing.

aye, forgot there was a spreadsheet *slaps forehead*

balls, "Violin" is from 1980, isn't it? I'd go back to the original KB nomination upthread. The 'On Stage' version of "James And The Cold Gun" is pretty rockin'.

yeah 'violin' is from 80 sadly. if she'd gotten that live version on record i'd allow it but otherwise that's way too big a barn door to leave open, plus this is ilx so there's a chance it would win.

Sund4r, have you ever heard the experimental Chilliwack record? It's the second self-titled one - double album with a brown cover.

I haven't! My knowledge of 70s rock appears to be more mainstream than my 80s rock knowledge.

Hm:
The flute and sax work of Claire Lawrence distance the band from the competition as well as from a Northwest Native Indian music influence.

Whoa, they did six albums before "Fly at Night"!

^Sweet list BD.

Thank you. I acidentally cut one off my list.

George Brigman - Jungle rot

updated spreadsheet/nodlist - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AsM36o-L6dNEdHQwMTRPa0o1OUEyNVhZM3lmZTVTS1E&output=html. decided to bend on elvis costello - 3 tracks in there, including 'pump it up' suggested above, 'i'm not angry' has guitarwank and 'clean money' intense enough i think. can't imagine i'll be allowing anymore ec though. did let 'don't bring me down' in but i could maybe be swayed if someone wants to make the argument.

did not let rather

Rocket From The Tombs - 30 Seconds Over Tokyo

And a great track from a band I'm generally not keen on -
Tom Robinson Band - Up Against The Wall

Funkadelic - Good Old Music
Funkadelic - Mommy What's A Funkadelic?
Funkadelic - Wars Of Armageddon

Ok I think that'll do me for tonight...

Aerosmith - Mama Kin
Can - Mother Sky
David Bowie - Suffragette City
Neu! - Hero
Roxy Music - Ladytron
Roxy Music - Remake/Remodel
The Ramones - Pinhead
The Runaways - American Nights
The Shirts - Teenage Crutch

SO wait, AG, you're saying I can't make my top 5 all Black Sabbath albums? Well, this poll certainly has no credibility....

oops wrong thread.

close enough though! it does remind me to ask for everyone's input on voting - i was initially thinking of having ppl submit top 100s w/ #1 worth 100 pts, #2 99 pts....#100 1 pt, but then thought this was a) too much work for me b) somewhat pointless, so now i'm thinking have ppl submit a top 50 w/ same scoring in effect - #1 worth 100 pts...#50 worth 51 pts. another thing, alluded to above, this probably more pertinent than the math: i am gonna limit the number of tracks by a single artist one can vote for; was gonna make it 4 in yr top 100 w/ no more than 1 in yr top 25, 2 in yr top 50, and so forth. if i do a 50 ballot i'll probably make the limit 3 w/ no more than 1 in yr top 10, 2 in yr top 25, and 3 in yr top 50 obv. i think this will help avoid logjams and negate any canon bias and even though you could submit an all sabbath top 50 and have a point i think it should be very very easy for anyone to pull together a diverse ballot from the absurd amount of rawk in the 70s. anyhow what do yall think? tighten single artist limit? loosen? give greater weight to #1s? just go back to common ilx point tallying which i think someone has worked out a macro for or something right?

also since i'm putting those artist limits in i'm waiving whatever restrictions i had in initial post (ie ziggy and aladdin trax are eligible, and i'll add pink floyd's 'sheep') w/ the exception that nominated track must rawk.

balls need you on albums thread

i am gonna limit the number of tracks by a single artist one can vote for; was gonna make it 4 in yr top 100 w/ no more than 1 in yr top 25, 2 in yr top 50, and so forth. if i do a 50 ballot i'll probably make the limit 3 w/ no more than 1 in yr top 10, 2 in yr top 25, and 3 in yr top 50 obv.

^^^

three per artist maybe, but nix the micromanagement angle.

i think we need a group chat on fb

balls: I'm happy to do the tallying automatically at the same time as the albums so it doesn't matter whether there's 100 spaces on the ballot or 50. Pick what seems more fun to you.

do 100. people were sweating blood n tears over doing 50 in the 80s poll. Gets you a bigger rollout too. But dont have #100=1 point. make it 11 points. (helps avoids ties plus gives a good reason to fill out the ballot) In the 80s poll the #1 got an extra 10 points from the #2

yeah I thought 50 would be fine on the 80s poll and then when I was doing my ballot I really wished we were doing 100. With the 70s that's only going to be more acute for me.

oh and here's some track noms:

Chicory Tip - Cigarettes, Women And Wine

Plus some "if that, why not this?" noms:

Yes - Going for the One
Queen - Now I'm Here
Iggy Pop - Lust for Life
Mud - Dynamite
Crass - Do They Owe Us A Living?

of course they fucking do

Eric Clapton - Cocaine
Led Zeppelin - When The Levee Breaks
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
Rush - A Farewell To Kings
Rush - Xanadu
Rush - Cygnus X-1
Joe Walsh - Life's Been Good

Frank Zappa - Montana

Miles Davis - Go Ahead John
Miles Davis - Great Expectations
Betty Davis - If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked Up
Mirrors - Frustration
Satori Part 4 - Flower Travellin' Band

Surely we need -

Neil Young - Come on Baby, Let's Go Downtown
Neil Young - Southern Man

?

Brian Eno - Blank Frank

The Stooges - Loose
The Stooges - Search and Destroy

Btw, "Life's Been Good" is a little lighter than I remembered. Wouldn't quibble if it were vetoed.

Van Halen - Eruption

Not sure if I'll vote for them but it somehow seems wrong to leave them out:

Foreigner - Head Games
Foreigner - Hot Blooded

Ted Nugent - Cat Scratch Fever
Wings - Hi Hi Hi
Nilsson - Jump Into The Fire
Boz Scaggs - Lido Shuffle (or is this too yacht-y?)
Bob Seger - Katmandu
Stevie Wonder - Living For The City
Stevie Wonder - Superstition (or is the idea that we don't do songs that would make it on an artist poll?)
Billy Joel - Movin' Out
Bob Dylan - Hurricane

Foghat - Slow Ride
Aerosmith - Sick As A Dog
Al Stewart - Year Of The Cat
Cheap Trick - Oh Candy
Fela Kuti - Zombie
Warren Zevon - The French Inhaler
Chuck Mangione - Feels So Good
The Clash - Complete Control
The Outlaws - Green Grass And High Tides
Bob Dylan - Tough Mama
Gene Clark - Some Misunderstanding
Glen Campbell - Adoration
Aphrodite's Child - The Four Horsemen

Tom T. Hall - Pay No Attention To Alice
Alice Cooper - I'm Eighteen
Alice Cooper - No More Mr. Nice Guy
Yes - Starship Trooper
Buzzcocks - Why Can't I Touch It?
The Embarrassment - Sex Drive

also just in the interest in making sure we're on top of all the classic rock radio staples,

Bob Seger - Old Time Rock and Roll
Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla
Styx - Come Sail Away
Queen - Stone Cold Crazy
Yes - Seen All Good People
Eagles - Life In The Fast Lane
Steve Miller Band - Jungle Love
Steve Miller Band - Jet Airliner
CSNY - Ohio
Elton John - Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting
Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 (is "Saturday in the Park" too smooth/not enough butt?)

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Karn Evil 9

Nazareth - Hair Of The Dog

Some of those are on the list already. Also, to be anal, the Yes song is "I've Seen All Good People" (and is probably too soft for this poll, although I do love it. Balls's and AG's call though.)

xpost to Dr Casino

genuinely curious for the argument on how al stewart's year of the cat qualifies

Ha, is that Chuck Mangione tune unusually rocking for him?

also want to hear the 'chuck mangione totally slots in between sabbath and stooges' argument

lol xpost

All these songs are pretty much awesome.

I really think the lack of the word "buttrock" in the thread title of the albums poll is harming it.

Clarke and I are on the same page.

The Ramones - 53rd & 3rd
The Ramones - I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement
ZZ Top - Master of Sparks
ZZ Top - Waiting for the Bus
Desperate Bicycles - Advice on Arrest
Desperate Bicycles - Holidays
Speed, Glue & Shinki - Sniffin' & Snortin' Pt. 1 (Vitamine C)

Van Halen - Jamie's Cryin'

Christgau can be an arse but this is kind of classic:

Foreigner [Atlantic, 1977]
You've heard of Beatlemania? I propose Xenophobia. C

I'm starting to think that xhuxk may be right about Foreigner. What a classic singles band.

Album tracks on Head Games are kind of shitty so far though.

I guess this goes under ...and MORE?

Scritti Politti - Skank Bloc Bologna

okay, these two seem to have disappeared from the list:

Joy Division - Insight
Swell Maps - Midget Submarines

if Insight was knocked out, I'll argue that it conveys an insistent, neurotic tension with its clockwork groove, rocking in a lower key but still rocking. I'll assume the Swell Maps was an oversight.

^^^

wtf is wrong w/me, I sound like I'm from some Leninist Bureau of Aesthetics. no sleep all week...

King Crimson - Starless

BUMP - it'll be awhile before i can finish this up so you have several more hours to nominate something before i shut it down (probably tomorrow morning tbh) - GET IT IN

The Pink Fairies - Wish I Was A Girl
Stiff Little Fingers - Wasted Life

Les Rallizes Denudes - Night of the Assassins
The Electric Eels - Cyclotron
The Homosexuals - Neutron Lover

The Police - Next To You
The Police - Truth Hits Everybody
Joe Jackson - Is She Really Going Out With Him? (or if that's not RAWK enough, "I'm The Man" or "One More Time")
The Cars - Let's Go
The Knack - My Sharona

Todd Rundgren - Is It My Name?

David Bowie - Black Country Rock

how many tracks nominated?

who is helping balls out with doing a spotify playlist? Its a lot of work running these so anyone helping out with a spotify playlist is a major help.

(pretty sure balls is going to veto all my wussy pop-rock and new-wave tracks but i have confidence "jump into the fire" will survive)

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Vambo

ok nomination period is over - i'll allow a few hours if any wants to protest omissions but for any track that gets added another must be removed so consider that in yr argument. there are 666 tracks nominated, that isn't changing. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AsM36o-L6dNEdHQwMTRPa0o1OUEyNVhZM3lmZTVTS1E&output=html

lol

this track:

Teenage Jesus and the Jerks - Orphans

is on the list twice. to keep yr. theme of 70s evil, you could substitute w/this:

Teenage Jesus and the Jerks - The Closet

OTM

Why are some of my nominations arbitrarily left off the list? Al Stewart I can understand, but how the heck could you eliminate The Outlaws Green Grass and High Tide in a rawk/buttrock poll?

list thirty tracks on the list that track shreds more than. still curious what the al stewart logic was. also curious how this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUnj-04dpl0

slots beside this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUnj-04dpl0

or this

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

LOL how this slots rather - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzSNz4K5PAI

Those YouTube links aren't showing up on my browser. Butt you can't have a buttock poll without Green Grass and High Tides. Have you even heard it?

and, if you can squeeze a little one in

The Homosexuals - Hearts In Exile

I think he's too in love with the prospect of having 666 noms to add any more and who can blame him

proceed, guv'nor

One more for luck:

Undertones - Get Over You

I can second: Jeepster, Gary Gilmore's Eyes, Dice Man, Rowche Rumble, Never Been in a Riot, Rocks Off, Borstal Breakout and Get Over You.

Would chuck out to make room: all the Joy Division songs (except maybe Warsaw). JD makes no sense to me in this context: they are filigree and shadow, not RAWK.

Chain Gang - Son of Sam

^ you gotta have this!

Nervous Eaters - Just Head

just listening to the Nervous Eaters album on Spotify for the first time actually and this thing is hotttt

http://open.spotify.com/album/5DoztxxufqO3T5QBdrVipl

I will gladly swap my own nomination of Brian Eno - Third Uncle for

ZZ Top - Just Got Paid

Can't believe I forgot to suggest it.

c'mon that's eno's most rocking song!

Would chuck out to make room: all the Joy Division songs (except maybe Warsaw). JD makes no sense to me in this context: they are filigree and shadow, not RAWK.

^ you gotta have this!

the Unspeakably Evil 70s Poll demands the blood of your previous picks!

How did nobody nominate Faith Healer.

i prefer vambo

You can genuinely make room for one track, at least: DNA's "Blonde Red Head" is from 1981. FITE!

c'mon that's eno's most rocking song!

I guess so, it just seemed good manners to sacrifice one of my own picks.

Just noticed The Adverts - One Chord Wonders is on there twice.

aerosmith's "nobody's fault" is one of the most rocking tunes of the decade, you know in yr heart this is true

http://youtu.be/MsUUkvjliWU

Neil Young - Revolution Blues

all my picks were based on scanning the list of bands already nommed, if I go ham with the punk singles I could add another 50 or so

balls isn't gonna hold a vote. He's just going to do a rollout of his ranking of the 666 songs nominated.

you mean 664

do we have:

Generation X - Ready Steady Go

Would chuck out to make room: all the Joy Division songs (except maybe Warsaw). JD makes no sense to me in this context: they are filigree and shadow, not RAWK.

I don't think this is more true of "Shadowplay" and "New Dawn Fades" than it is of Black Sabbath.

ok deleted the duplicates noted and switched out a couple of less rawking joy division cuts and put in a few of the WAY TOO LATE suggestions. nominations now fer real closed. voting process etc set up in a smoke filled room as we speak.

check your fb pm. i replied to you

ok started a collaborative spotify playlist where people can add the nominations

remember to subscribe

thx for the adds balls

sorry for ignoring this thread till the last minute, tracks noms seem so daunting

The Homosexuals were robbed!

awesome balls, stoked to see how this all plays out. Thanks for doing this one.

except it would appear like, everything i nominated was nixed ;_;

seriously baffled by this universe where "Cat Scratch Fever" rocks less than "No Sugar Tonight," "Jump Into The Fire" less than "Hallogallo," and "Hi Hi Hi" less than "Don't Worry Kyoko"

but i guess since "rock and roll, hootchie koo" made it i will probably not boycott this

wait a min cat scratch fever got nixed????????????

aw fuck - i thought i'd put it in there and didn't double check. THX OBAMA. 'jump into the fire' is in there under harry nilsson (same w/ eno tracks - i put them under brian eno; used allmusic as standard setter on those type of things). 'hi hi hi' might've been spite. i've also noticed that a yes track is listed twice.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFIVX1s

haha oh okay, was looking under "nilsson," whew.

I figured "Hi Hi Hi" would make it under "band that doesn't normally really rock at all makes a sincere effort" kinda clause.

ok seriously, "Tiger Feet"?!

tbh i may have been so 'you gotta be fucking kidding me' at yr 'lido shuffle' suggestion and then 'year of the cat' in the next post that spite may have played a role. also on a subconscious level i was talking to some chick at go last week and she brought up the 'paul is dead' thing and i was like 'cool!' and then slowly it became apparent that no, she was very very convinced that paul is in fact dead and was pretty adamant that anyone who doesn't believe, who doesn't EXAMINE THE EVIDENCE, is a fool who just doesn't want to know the truth. so somewhere in the recesses of my mind that may have been a factor.

Takin' Care of Business: ILX 70s RAWK TRAX VOTING RULES AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD - VOTING THREAD!- Closes Nov 8th 11.59 PM UK Time - All ILXORS/LURKERS WELCOME

speaking of go bar, right now i am too distracted by the fact that we forgot "cherry bomb" to really comprehend the logic of leaving off "hi hi hi," so is cat scratch fever in or not?

i guess i figured in this al stewart, tiger feet, SCRITTI FUCKING POLITTI world, "lido shuffle" and "hi hi hi" were mind-melting rock jams....

also to be fair i did couch "lido shuffle" in some uncertainty as to whether it counted IIRC

lack of cherry bomb is tragic. "tiger feet" is possibly the first song i ever remember hearing (at my 6th birthday party) that resonated with me on some primal level. however, i'm not very nostalgic so i won't be voting for it.

i mean, don't get me wrong, "Tiger Feet" is cool, I like me some chinnichap pop - just weird to think of it being heavier or rockier or more buttful than etc etc, but i can already picture balls seething at my whining complaints so, whatevs, i'm just gonna add a couple more things to the spotify playlist and ~~rock out~~

oh fuck we really fucked up on peter frampton

"'Can The Can" is more rocking Chinnichap pop.

will definitely get a vote from me somewhere although i woulda preferred "48 crash." have also gradually warmed up to "devil gate drive," it's kinda muffled and lumpy-sounding but it's got something there. her "wild one" ain't bad either.

so can we vote for "cat scratch fever" or not? i dunno if it's top ten for me but it's almost certainly top twenty.

name that riff

"tiger feet"'s standard third tier glam, there's plenty of its kind on that list (though some of it definitely rawks harder - hi there iron virgin), if it had been bowie or t rex it might've been borderline but i'm really not worried about mud dominating this poll.

"Devil Gate Drive" is my favourite. I was just going to say I wish I had nominated "Ballroom Blitz" but I see it's in there too. xp

'cat scratch fever' out for logistical reasons, that horse has left the barn. i would suggest would be 'cat scratch fever' voters vote for 'stranglehold' since it's better anyway.

I almost went ahead and nommed "Block Buster" which I think rocks harder than "Ballroom Blitz" but for the purposes of this poll I think "Fox on the Run" is gonna get my Sweet vote. Cf She Thinks SHE'S The Pollsionate One: THE SWEET SINGLES POLL

i'm really not worried about mud dominating this poll

just for saying that i'm going to submit 100 fake ballots with mud in them.

ughhhhh stranglehold - - - SO LONG and BORRRRRRRING, i always think I like it cause they never play it (BECAUSE IT'S LONG AND BORING) but really I only like the "come on come on come on come on baby" or whatever part

"Ballroom Blitz's" drums get me every time. I could liste to them looped for an hour.

^^^ not referring to this btw

(warning, does not rock as hard as "hi hi hi")

what does?

(actually, does not even rock as hard as "mull of kintyre")

shutout of steve miller band is also bogus dude

future generations will scratch their heads, wondering how people of 2012 could have been so misguided as to think "tiger feet" rocks harder than "cat scratch fever" and "jungle love"

and let's not forget the bone-shattering yamaha demo act VANGELIS and the earth-shaking riffage of 2:40 to 3:35 of "bacchanale"

shit is almost making me appreciate "stranglehold"

ooh you're so butch!

don't mind a couple of noms getting vetoed where it made sense against the criteria, but what happened to:
Yes - Heart of the Sunrise
Yes - Siberian Khatru
Yes - Long Distance Runaround
Bola Johnson and his Easy-life Top Beats - Ezuku Buzo
Orchestre Super Jheevs des Paillotes - Ye Nan Lon An
Brian Eno - King's Lead Hat
