T. Rex > Kinks > King Crimson

I mean, this is a frivolous poll and I'd hope every song ever written with ___ Century in its name is posted here

but

like

one of these is possibly the most important song of the early rock era, a quantum leap for music as a whole and still absolutely kickass in any context

yes, I speak of Bad Religion, of course

you're gonna vote for King Crimson, like me, like you should, or i will come to ur house and kill ur imaginary chinchilla

relax, I've never knowingly heard a Bad Religion song. maybe I should start now!

that bad religion song isn't awful

yeah it reminds me of Catherine Wheel, if less Brian Futter-y

oh this T-Rex song! It's good, yeah. *lux aeterna*

voted t. rex, as i would in any poll with t. rex in it

21ST CENTURY SCHIZOID MAAAAAN

As far as bland mushy pop-punk goes Bad Religion aren't so terrible I suppose

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

T Rex "20th Century Boy"

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Shame on you ILM

SHAME

I'll only be convinced it's NOT "Schizoid" if someone can tell me exactly what that chord is.

Wish I'd voted in this. T Rex over Crimson, huh? (grabs coat, exits)

Oh allow ILM its conservatism, wouldn't be the same otherwise

there is clearly not much room between those two songs, big-picture-wise

heh

the reason i'm not bothered by this at all is that i think the t-rex song is good and important and all

Crimso is the best band in this poll but 20c Boy is the best song.

While I'd obviously vote for KC, there's something comforting about knowing that ILM chose T. Rex.

Live thing upthread cool and interesting but obv does not do justice to the full 7.5m song.

Bad Religion? It's an American thing, right? Like Jimmy Buffett

King Crimson? It's a British thing, right? Like Mumford and Sons

Now if you'd said T- Rex instead of King Crimson...

... and I thought Mumford & Sons were popular in the States anyway?

Missed this poll, would've voted '21st Century Schizoid Man', probably the best prog rock song ever? 2nd place to Bad Religion; '20th Century Boy' is OK I guess but it's never been one of my favourite T. Rex tracks.

when Bad Religion play over here it tends to be to four-figure crowds tbf

never really effed with them apart from this song, their speaking-very-relatively radio rock hit

ok then we'll go with

King Crimson? It's a British thing, right? Like Robbie Williams
