Actual voting will not take place until next year.

Exactly. It's not like they're both being posted at the same time.

Nominations will still probably distract (and all the threads that will go along with them), and will cause complaints of "well, I'm not going to participate in two lists at once!" It's not a big deal, I just don't see why this one has to be now.

But whatever. I guess it's started, hard to stop and all.

Joni Mitchell, Blue
MX-80 Sound, Hard Attack
Parliament, Osmium
Donna Summer, Bad Girls

TRACKS:

Foxy, "Get Off"
David Bowie, "Panic In Detroit"
Steely Dan, "Rikki Don't Lose That Number"

Joy Division -- Unknown Pleasures
Led Zeppelin -- Houses of the Holy
Marlo Thomas and Friends -- Free to Be ... You and Me (it's Various Artists, but is NOT a comp -- surely this nomination is allowed?)

Tracks

Hues Corporation -- Rock the Boat
David Bowie -- "Heroes"
Sylvester -- You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)
The O'Jays -- Love Train

Sorry about this everyone. I think at some point these two lists got confused (well, I got confused, not the lists..) and I put the albums list over the singles list (which is still there, don't worry)..
the singles list being longer, a lot of albums from the end of the alphabet are in there.

I'd rather leave erroneous things in than take things that people have actually nominated out.. that way, a non-existent album gets no votes, rather than something that someone nominated being removed.

I am beginning to suspect the X-Ray Spex nomination is also a track, but I can't find a decent discography. Anyone know?

It seems rather prescient that the intro to this thread speaks of my ineptness. Would you trust this man to conduct a poll?

No, emphatically not. But it'll be allright on the night. Trust me.

Ahem..

Terry Callier - Ordinary Joe
This Heat - 24 Track Loop
Three Degrees - Maybe
Tim Buckley - Song For The Siren
Toots & The Maytals - Pressure Drop
Toy Love - Squeeze
Ultravox - Slow Motion
Wizzard- See My Baby Jive
X-Ray Spex - Oh Bondage Up Yours
ZZ Top - La Grange

"La Grange" is an album I think

Jorge Ben - Errare Humanum Est
Karin Krog - Hold Out Your Hands
OV Wright - Into Something

Here is the albums list - on tuesday I'll start a new thread with this on, and say how the voting will work. Until then, if you're still reading this thread, just take a look to see that your nominations are here fine and unfucked-up and lovely and tell me if they aren't.

Most of the track nominations should now be out of the albums list. The Three Degrees and ZZ Top stayed in, because of the uncertainty about whether there are albums of the same name, and because some of the original posts on this thread are missing, so there is no way of knowing if someone nominated them or not. Hopefully, other than that, the list is now perfect, and shiney, and new.

There was a Three Degrees album Maybe, though.

Going over a lot of these albums, I'm starting to think that Parliament may in fact be my favourite 70s album. Almost everything else gets a little long and boring in parts, or else trite and poncey, or maybe just unfortunately recorded. I think Unknown Pleasures may have fallen furthest from how much I used to like it, sadly, though it's still good. Sometimes it kind of sounds like a good hard rock album buried under thin new wave production.

Actually, I'm not OK with the albums in another respect. I've realised how obvious and canonical most of the albums from the 70s I own are. They were bought in a period of my life when I was mopping up back catalogues from all those lists with the help of 3 for £20 offers in HMV. I like a lot of them just fine, but I'm annoyed that I'll end up having to vote for them just cause I don't know enough of the more obscure nominations to be in a position to judge. Perhaps I shouldn't vote at all.

I'll vote, of course. It's just that can seen that this is how the albums poll might come out with a fairly typical list. Not because these would be our favourite albums if we'd heard everything, but just because canons become self-perpetuating - people buy the albums on them more, so they have a headstart in any future polls.

Anyway, I shouldn't preempt the results. All get a copy of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band before you vote though.

'Least that amazing single made it.

I listened to it for the first time yesterday. It's become my #1 or a serious contender at least. But it's a little disconcerting in that I've just realized that I have been unknowingly trying to rip off this album for years now.

! I missed this before, because I had an itchy reply finger. I think it's got some fantastic stuff on it.

(No "Baba O'Riley!")
