Neu!3=Neu!75 of course

nostormo, Tuesday, 22 August 2023 15:22 (one year ago)

26 favorites! Including one that I've long called my default "favorite" ("Tusk")

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 22 August 2023 15:23 (one year ago)

Number of albums I've heard: 37, so many here are great

My favourite: today, the Fall

My least-favourite: Young Team sounded really limp compared to the next Mogwai record

Nicest surprise to find on the list: Renaissance or the Pretty Things

Unheard, but most want to hear: the T2 album

Halfway there but for you, Wednesday, 23 August 2023 20:47 (one year ago)

Today is another that I'd probably find difficult to omit from a honest personal list of 50. A vote for it here will suffice!

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Friday, 25 August 2023 04:00 (one year ago)

Marquee Moon here though many other favorites

that's not my post, Friday, 25 August 2023 05:09 (one year ago)

oo, great list. as usual, i picked steely dan, but i feel like maybe I should have picked "arthur" just to give it some love - i feel like it's so underrated. much better produced than most of their other albums from the period and some of their best songs - "victoria", "drivin'", "young and innocent days", "some mother's son", "australia" and "mr. churchill says" are my faves

Great list, voted for Dino Jr. If you'd have to recommend three, which ones should everyone hear?

Siegbran, Friday, 25 August 2023 09:20 (one year ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Monday, 28 August 2023 00:01 (one year ago)

voted Sister

The Terroir of Tiny Town (WmC), Monday, 28 August 2023 00:27 (one year ago)

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

System, Tuesday, 29 August 2023 00:01 (one year ago)

So many great albums with no votes :(

Toshirō Nofune (The Seventh ILXorai), Tuesday, 29 August 2023 08:09 (one year ago)

Yeah, Tusk, Raw Power and Spiderland at 0 feel a little strange on ILM, but I guess there's a factor of randomness when people have to choose from so many potential favorites.

Nabozo, Tuesday, 29 August 2023 09:43 (one year ago)

This might have been the most difficult poll for me, I think I ended up going for Gene Clark. 'Winners' Neil Young and Joni Mitchell are great choices too.
Apart from some masterpieces that got 0 votes, I think the first Roxy & Bowie's Hunky Dory also deserved more than one vote.

Valentijn, Tuesday, 29 August 2023 09:58 (one year ago)

Thank you all for the comments and participation.

nostormo, Thursday, 31 August 2023 14:46 (one year ago)

I think I actually voted for Neil here, but looking at the zeroes I wish I'd picked YLT or Arthur

rob, Thursday, 31 August 2023 14:49 (one year ago)

pretty sure i voted for gene clark

is he disgruntled adrian? (voodoo chili), Thursday, 31 August 2023 14:52 (one year ago)
