More to the liking of the contrarianists, I suppose. This is as low as I could possibly get on RYM's all-time rankings.

Went for "Vienna". I am afraid there are a couple of albums near it in the ranking that will - knowing ILM - do very well here.

polls + RYM is like the vortex of horrible make-you-wish-you-were-into-something-more-than-music energy

a full circle lol (J0hn D.), Monday, 5 October 2009 21:45 (fifteen years ago)

you people are crazy. this is the best poll ever. MORE please! finally, bone thugs n harmony -vs- OMD showdown!

scott seward, Monday, 5 October 2009 21:46 (fifteen years ago)

I own more albums here than in the top 50.

New Thing at Newport pretty much owns it though. Shepp+Coltrane=Win.

Giorgio Marauder (I eat cannibals), Monday, 5 October 2009 22:08 (fifteen years ago)

Lyle Lovett

President Keyes, Tuesday, 6 October 2009 10:37 (fifteen years ago)

predicting a runaway win for No One Cares

clotpoll, Tuesday, 6 October 2009 10:50 (fifteen years ago)

"Andy Irvine & Paul Brady"

The Prince's choice: making a brush. (Tom D.), Tuesday, 6 October 2009 10:53 (fifteen years ago)

Sun City Girls: Torch of the Mystics (1990)

Weird poll, but this is a bazillion star album AFAIC.

Gunther von Hagen Daas (NickB), Tuesday, 6 October 2009 11:07 (fifteen years ago)

It is that

The Prince's choice: making a brush. (Tom D.), Tuesday, 6 October 2009 11:11 (fifteen years ago)

the gloriousness of that posies album. definitely in my top 500.

alex in mainhattan, Tuesday, 6 October 2009 11:24 (fifteen years ago)

clearly it's hefner vs burzum

sculpture of marmalade (electricsound), Tuesday, 6 October 2009 11:28 (fifteen years ago)

Always get those two confused.

Gunther von Hagen Daas (NickB), Tuesday, 6 October 2009 11:29 (fifteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

it's stupid because in a month these won't be 4951 to 5000.. it's essentially polling a list of 50 random albums.

billstevejim, Friday, 9 October 2009 00:39 (fifteen years ago)

Frosting On The Beater is the only one of these I listen to.

billstevejim, Friday, 9 October 2009 00:40 (fifteen years ago)

it's essentially polling a list of 50 random albums.

A lot of "contrarian" ILM'ers consider that more interesting than polling the Top 50, as the top 50 will undeniably be the usual canon ones that have been polled numerous times.

Tied Up In Geir (Geir Hongro), Friday, 9 October 2009 15:04 (fifteen years ago)

sb'ing anyone who cops to finding the polling of 50 random albums "interesting"

don't blame pitchfork, blame america (call all destroyer), Friday, 9 October 2009 15:08 (fifteen years ago)

i would say dazzle ships is my favorite of the ten or so albums ive heard from this list of albums that exist which i just looked at

Vitalogy easy.

& other try hard shitfests (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 9 October 2009 15:32 (fifteen years ago)

I've never heard any of these albums. I'm intrigued by that Coltrane/Shepp thing though.

o. nate, Friday, 9 October 2009 15:33 (fifteen years ago)

xxxxp

IDK, if we all went away and actually listened to these... The only dumb thing about this poll is the 4 day window.

Anyway, I vote Ananda.

Jeff W, Friday, 9 October 2009 15:34 (fifteen years ago)

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