ILM's all-time mount rushmore is prob Ned/Ethan/Geir/Alex in NYC

this is what we'll all be able to agree on:

if you like, Whiney can be the Testament to your Anthrax

maybe i'm showing my old head status here but i wouldn't even think about including anyone who didn't post before like 2007

Or who doesn't post now.

Matt Perpetua
Phil Freeman
Paul Edward Wagemann
Ned

who are the BIG HOOS of metal

btw, I meant this thread kinda srs (like, I actually stand by my estimation - even tho it is largely arbitrary), but mostly in the lighthearted sense of a parody thread, in light of all the B4 threads of recent vintage. So yall can get meticulously analytical and/or butthurt if u feel so inclined, but know that it was not in such a spirit that this was meant!

oh yeah i mean it's an inherently silly idea. it is kind of fun to think about though.

Old school:

Ned
Ewing
Sinker
Dave q?

ftr, too, I am a relative novice. So there is that to consider as well.

2 uk funky otakus in a list of 4 is a bit much imo

dying @ churl's list

Four is so weird:

i know, right! i just made one & it looked weird & then i deleted

i have only the faintest idea of who Paul Edward Wagemann is, like i've seen the name on the board so many times over the years but can't remember a single thing about dude

A quick one while he's away:

SexyDancer
Edward III
Scott Seward
roxymuzak

vahid should be on one of these

(If anyone is a compulsive toy-shuffler, it's me)

I kinda feel bad for not putting m@tt on that last one :(

mr. snrub
dog latin
dj martian
startrekman

lol

1) Ned Raggett
2) Geir Hongro
3) scott seward
4) kl0pper

i totally still think of myself as a newbie

I would definitely withdraw myself from the initial list and substitute Alex in NYC. And probably slip J0rdan S. out to slip Alfred in. So, Ned/Alex in NYC/lex/Alfred

ILM's all-time mount rushmore is prob Ned/Ethan/Geir/Alex in NYC

― some dude, Wednesday, April 13, 2011 10:09 PM (Yesterday)

Strong case to be made for this configuration as well.

4 really isn't enough, though.

Was the weerewolf kid called Connor?

Yes! Smedley!

I am a Werewolf

He's a fucking all time hero.

This is probably true, give or take a Nabisco.

deej didn't make 'big 4', but he's def. in my top 10; he was totally inspirational in the 'Things every music critic should do before publishing a review' thread...

the whole 'aspie' thing on ilx is officially out of hand if you start making those jokes when someone counts to 2

wrong syndrome, dude, some

^clever

mmmmm dim sum

I dunno I think a thread like this is quintessential ILM, tbh

we are taxonimizing ourselves i meanq

big 4 beefs:

roast beef
beefsteak
steak tartare
carpaccio

glad to see someone go to bat for tartare, a beef of often unsung virtue.

the sashimi of the pasture.

one half of all meat sold in the united states is infected with staph.

http://www.rollogrady.com/wp-content/themes/widgetimgs/tmyk.gif

oh wait a quarter of all meat. i don't read the news very carefully.

oh wait no its half! depends on what you read.

now what

Is this a most famous posters on ILM? For musicians I’d say Owen Pallett is one of the biggest in here that is frequently active.

i think neil young (neanderthal) is more famous than owen pallett

Neanderthal is Neil Young!? How did I not know this.

Is there a thread for a who’s who or how do you all have this common knowledge.

I just very recently found out JD Twitch is around ILM too.

feel like bradnelson is a pivotal ilm lodestar

i'm the 100 gecs dude

Being the 100gecs dude doesn’t count as being big anywhere.

xxpost yeah they've seriously been one of the best posters across the board over the past idk five years? longer? my sense of board time is really distorted these days.

yeah thirded, bradnelson is top shelf

this is for ILM thinkfluencers, not famous posters

agree. also Tim F's approval is essentially papal

that said, popularity circlejerks are nagl, ur all v wise and interesting

agreed

instead of a big 4 posters imo we should work out the big 4 differences ILM has from other music communities

here's my effort

- poptimism was won so long ago and so firmly that pop is kind of ancient lore & rite here, not something new and exotic that we're suddenly allowed to like. this puts ILM at odds with other communities that I've seen going through the same wars we did 15 years ago

- by far the best EOY polls & celebrations in existence

- absolute intolerance of fatuous thinking, which is mostly a positive but also sometimes i do feel a tiny, tiny bit sorry for the Turricans of this earth. adapt or die tho tbh, i did

- definite progressive agenda forcing regular posters to go without their usual anglocentric listening habits (while also still catering to the latter plenty) - again, a v good thing, even if u all diss indie 2 much sometimes

anglocentric/manocentric. an ilx alltime canon would be much, much more female than almost all the other canons, and frankly, good

specific user such as imago

shoutout to voodoo chili almost singlehandedly keeping rap thread alive now that deej is a mountain climber who plays the electric guitar

lol

I played guitar in an unsuccessful indie-rock band in Glasgow around 2002-2003 so I'm a pretty big deal

may he forever climb

shoutout to saer and vahid for constantly dropping techno house heaters old and new

agreed. and breastcrawl for afro stuff, dow for country, morrisp for pop. There's a nice collection of about 25 people on this board who do a good job patrolling genres of choice.

shoutout to colonel poo & gott punch 2 hawk wind (up da punx)

saer is a treasure, even if it's not always my thing I admire his aesthetic & commitment

Brad is essential, always happy to see the passion & breadth of taste

Really I appreciate everyone on the jazz and various dance music/electronic threads

sounds like deej is doing well, honestly, embracing wholesome hobbies. i am very happy to hear this.

Is that two wholesome activities or one gnarly but dangerous activity?

actually i think he’s a podcaster now

I figured that was a Wu Tang ref and he's working in A&R now.

ya it was

im just teasing tho, if u follow his twitter he constantly tweets abt his current job (as a podcaster)

i think neil young (neanderthal) is more famous than owen pallett
