Some Albums that ILM loves. My only request as author is to not pick your own poll's result, it's what a boring person would do. Sorry if I missed your poll! it probably was not on ILM if I did.

wow, this forum really, really likes brian eno

going for tender buttons since i've only realised the true greatness of the album since my poll closed. so many good albums here though. i love this place

tremolo, Monday, 25 September 2023 10:37 (two years ago)

... and "On the Beach".

I Left My Harp In Sam Frank's Disco (Tom D.), Monday, 25 September 2023 10:42 (two years ago)

Pod followed by Rust Never Sleeps is a great double feature. In theory Double Nickels / Nation of Millions too, but in practice it would be exhausting

Terrycoth Baphomet (bendy), Monday, 25 September 2023 11:03 (two years ago)

Tilt!

...eh you get the gist of it (dog latin), Monday, 25 September 2023 11:04 (two years ago)

I am going to vote for Love "Forever Changes" as it should have been on my list

Saxophone Of Futility (Michael B), Monday, 25 September 2023 11:30 (two years ago)

voted for spirit of eden just over marquee moon and forever changes

nxd, Monday, 25 September 2023 11:54 (two years ago)

forever changes + vespertine + abbey road + dots and loops is a combo that is hard to deny

is he disgruntled adrian? (voodoo chili), Monday, 25 September 2023 14:08 (two years ago)

Hmm, three different ways to vote for On the Beach: a la carte, in a combo with Future Days, or in the deluxe combo with Taking Tiger Mountain and In a Silent Way.

o. nate, Monday, 25 September 2023 14:53 (two years ago)

Buzzcocks + Tangerine Dream seems like a nice combination.

I Left My Harp In Sam Frank's Disco (Tom D.), Monday, 25 September 2023 14:59 (two years ago)

Is it a surprise that, taken as it appears and as a piece, the above seems like a fairly conservative list? Not representative of the individual polls at least. Have to say I was underwhelmed that the clear winner in my poll was The White Album, even if I do love it. That's not a reflection on ILM, I guess, just on how consensus has a habit of smoothing off the rough edges sometimes

...eh you get the gist of it (dog latin), Monday, 25 September 2023 15:08 (two years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Sunday, 8 October 2023 00:01 (two years ago)

gotta be the wu

ava (paolo), Sunday, 8 October 2023 09:33 (two years ago)

Voted Broadcast - future music still delivering

Elvis Telecom, Sunday, 8 October 2023 10:56 (two years ago)

too many good albums to make a rational choice!

felt a little something extra when I saw Technique so voted that

meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Sunday, 8 October 2023 14:18 (two years ago)

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

System, Monday, 9 October 2023 00:01 (two years ago)

Technically, on the beach got the most votes.

H.P, Monday, 9 October 2023 00:17 (two years ago)

Cool, my poll-winner won. Thanks!

lord of the rongs (anagram), Monday, 9 October 2023 04:51 (two years ago)

The new king of ilm

H.P, Monday, 9 October 2023 05:12 (two years ago)

Alice Coltrane - Ptah The El Daoud // Fela Kuti - Open & Close (The Seventh ILXorai - My non-festive 50!) 0

:(

Toshirō Nofune (The Seventh ILXorai), Monday, 9 October 2023 10:32 (two years ago)

Absolutely stoked I got top billing in the 2-vote category.

H.P, Monday, 9 October 2023 11:49 (two years ago)

0-votes is the much cooler option tho, don’t frown Seventh

H.P, Monday, 9 October 2023 11:50 (two years ago)

I bet all the 1 vote albums were votes of the poll runner.

Toshirō Nofune (The Seventh ILXorai), Monday, 9 October 2023 12:03 (two years ago)

i was the only vote for vespertine
