ILM Top 100 Records -- The Full List

Welcome to ILM..... ;)

Neutral Milk Hotel aside, still looks pretty good (I didn't vote in it btw). I'd do a 2008 poll but the thought of some crappy Pavement album winning is too depressing for words.

xpost. Totally sounds like they're singing "hoist up the junkie" in Sloop John B".

"

When was the most recent alltime albums poll? This was all I could find

HAS there been anything more recent than this? I remember a lot of best-of-decade and best-of-genre lists, but nothing else this broad.

It's probably best we don't attempt one again, because Kaputt would win and ilx would be burned to the ground.

I kinda fancied it but yeah...jf otm

Tho I honestly do not think it would win an all time. Best of decade maybe.

Its not rated *that* highly is it?

Yeah, I don't think it would win an all-time list, but even with all our varying tastes and how much we enjoy bucking trends, our list would be just as boring as any publication's.

I kind of dont like "best albums ever" I prefer "Favourite albums ever" which I hope would mean people dont feel the need to vote sgt peppers or whatever and instead vote for something more personal to them but it wouldn't work out like that would it?

Could try limiting it to one album per band. Like all the albums of a band are nominated but only the highest point scoring one counts in the results?
Might get a more unpredictable result with vote splitting?

I suppose kapputt or that erykah badu album would go top 10 so it might not quite be the same results as other lists.

I certainly cannot find another all time album/tracks poll in the search. Find it hard to believe there hasnt been one though. ILM has changed so much since then. I didn't vote in this one tho I remember it well. How many of the original voters are even left?

my polling in the last hour indicates that kaputt would probably be a top 5 finisher AT MINIMUM. likely higher. #natesilver

None — the board illuminati have systematically had them all disappeared. xp

lol

*IF* there was demand and certain personnel are available I'd consider it. But really I'd rather jf do a tracks one too along with it.
If there had been a poll only 5 years ago then I wouldn't bother but that's a long time since one.
Plus it would need to be done this year as I presume the half decade poll might be next year?

You need to focus your energies on your Anti-Crawdaddy 60s RAWK poll Herman...

what is crawdaddy?
and nah, there's never been much enthusiasm for a 60s rock poll outside of yourself, stirmonster and fastnbulbous. I only ever really wanted to do the 80s rock poll. I hada vision for that and saw it through. The 70s poll happened because quite a lot of posters asked for it due to the success of the 80s poll. Plus,most people outside of seandalai & myself dont know this, but during voting for the 70s poll I actually got abuse/threats on voting forms. "fuck off ag why are you doing a rockist poll" "screw your rockist polls" "get the fuck off ilm or else" type shit. Not much fun, eh?

If I did a poll I'd much rather it was a poll ALL of ilm could take part in so people dont do the rockist shit.

Kaputt wouldn't win. We should do this again.

let's not forget this poll predates all of hot chip's albums too

lol you trying to put me off nathey?

who is gonna mention junior boys and lcd soundsystem to really put me off? haha

haha

also i would welcome a 'personal favourite' album list over the usual 'which do you think is the best' album list for sure.

'Get the fuck off ilm or else'?

nathey yeah - but obviously a lot of people do have favourites that are also in the best of lists.

Wouldn't Kapputt be one of the favourites rather than best evers?

I do like the idea of allowing all albums by an act to be nominated/voted for but only including the album with the highest votes (maybe two albums) in the results. But others may not like that.

Other ways of doing it could be only allowing voting for a max of 20 albums each decade? (2000-2014 for purposes of the poll would be one decade)

And if the maximum on a ballot is 100 then you get to vote for plenty of albums through the decades. Obviously if you only want to vote for 00s or 90s albums you can. The choice would be up to the individual.

Any other suggestions?

Idk you could do best albums ballots but then just condense them into a best acts rollout

It wouldn't be best albums anything.It would be 'favourite' in the hope voters didn't feel compelled to vote for usual suspects.
for instance me voting for a redd kross, god machine or screaming trees album over say beatles,stones,dylan.

personally think this is a cool thing to revisit and would be very interested to see how it plays out.

Who needs another boring list? I'd much rather berate people for not liking pop music enough.

this would be fun. isn't it "records" though? that means singles too.

well i was hoping someone johnny fever would takeover the tracks version. But if he chose not to do it maybe someone else would?
I imagine back then there was a lot less taking part (i was around but didnt vote as,lol, i wasnt into polls.) hence it being a combined list.

as I said earlier im fed up with genre polls and , if i did a poll, id like to do one EVERYONE can take part it rather than just jazz/metal/rock dudes.

Anyone against the max amount of votes per decade rule I was thinking of? Or the only allowing one or two albums per artist in the results to avoid several bands dominating?

*someone like...

the only all-time poll has a lack of hip hop,jazz, metal,country, dance music etc and if the EOY polls are anything to go by I see no reason for decent results.

ESPECIALLY if we frame it as vote for your personal favourites rather than "best ever".

I certainly cannot find another all time album/tracks poll in the search.

Close enough: ILM POLLS THE 20TH CENTURY'S BEST TRACKS ››› YOUR RESULTS THREAD ‹‹‹

not albums tho! and since you and sick mouthy are on board..(its nicks idea really btw)

if you really want to do this I suggest you get in line here ILM Ballot Polls for 2014 and beyond -- order, timing, "I would have voted if I'd known about it," etc

its not an artists poll. lets get that straight. This has nothing to do with those

69. Turbonegro - "I Got Erection" (single)

this poll is perfect, stop trying to fix what isn't broken imo

this was done in 2001. time for an update.

an update featuring my "top 100" exclusively, by the way. i feel this is the best way to go.

i'd be interested to see what an all-time albums poll produces on current ILX

it's a great opportunity to learn exactly how insular our community is

Nick has started it
ILX favourite albums of all time nominations and ting open until April 1st

• No. 1 -- Paris Hilton, Paris
• No. 2 -- Miley Cyrus, Bangerz
• No. 3 -- Ariana Grande,Yours Truly

I was rooting for a 60s version of the weird/heavy/etc 70s and 80s polls. But I'm told no one cares.

guaged it for a whole year and there was a whole 6 ppl interested :(

How many people voted in the jazz poll? That seemed to go well. I think people would participate.
