Ned's one record

voted "rules", duh

I did vote for isn’t anything, but I want to clarify I would never curse at you Ned

How kind

FOLLOW THE FORMAT NED

Isn’t Anything is superior, “Touched” is a hugely underrated song

Rules obv

i am interested in transcendence, can you tell me more about these vents

But honestly not a bad pick

*flounces off*

;-)

i like planes

Wait. This isn't Sparks.

I voted contrarian with "again?".

After mbv I feel there was a collective exhale because they finally released something new. This meant we could all stop obsessing over Loveless and speculating over how the follow-up would sound. Now, after mbv and the world tours, have we all gotten Loveless out of our system to some extent?

Voted Isn't Anything was better.

Voted Yay!

Haha, I was about to mention this on the FB meta-thread

🤣

We want more, Ned!

We want more Ned!

I also like Isn't Anything more but don't want to be rude to you, to be frank you've put me in a bit of a quandary here

Isn’t Anything isn’t anywhere near as good as Loveless. Loveless has guitar oceans! Isn’t Anything has shitty muddy production!

I really need to hear the mbv album one of these days.

write-in vote for “reads pi”

ned had a good '90s albums list back in the day

hmm i do not see
“write-in option: BROKEN”

(runs)

also missing "what? did you say something? talk louder please"

ned had a good '90s albums list back in the day

You mean one of those cover-that-album projects? Or one of those other ones?

"yellow loveless" from 2013 is nice!

It is!

I was also thinking of this one:

You *sure* it's not 'Weezer,' Ned?

Ned has the lyrics to "Beverly Hills" tattooed

On the insides of your lips, where my fist is heading.

paging Ronald Thomas Clontle to weigh in

agree with Ned, Loveless is the best album of all time

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

BOGUS

Isn't Anything is really good but not as great as Loveless. the distortion and sound manipulation is there, but not the amazing songs

A hard fought battle in any event.

(I do appreciate every option got at least one vote!)

It is one of the poll options…

it's a bit of a hit on rym — hope they're sending you royalty checks. I'm a little hazy on which of those albums I discovered via your list and which I discovered via the ilx hivemind, but it's safe to say it introduced me to a number of albums I still count as some of my favorites and helped spark my UK post-rock phase sometime in the late '00s. nb: zoomer music nerds will hail you as a prophet if you can get away with retroactively inserting Stratosphere or Long Season into your list

Ned's list introduced me to Disco Inferno, who are not only one of my favourite bands but were a crucial band in building my online social life.

Ages ago I slightly tried to make RYM aware of Tom's equivalent singles list but because I never turned it into a list on the site (I mean the original is right there) it hasn't taken off.

probably futile to even start a conversation about adding another face to their Christgau/Scaruffi/Fantano/ToddintheShadows Rushmore

What a dire Rushmore that is (except Christgau)

First time seeing that 90’s list by Ned and it’s pretty good. Does he have lists for other decaded or singles?

My first time seeing it too. I had no idea Ned was such a big Melon Collie fan.

I really need to give Depeche Mode a decent chance some day.

You do indeed!
