Nominations for a 70s 'Anti-Rolling Stone Canon ' style Albums Poll

Balls suggested a 70s equivalent of the surprisingly successful The ILM 1980s Anti-Rolling Stone Canon (FREE PUSSY RIOT) Rock Poll Results - ALBUMS! Top 20! ends today poll and there was a lot of support for it on the thread and on twitter so lets try it.

We need to work out what is allowed in the poll. Anything borderline has to have a good reason for being included 'i want to vote for it' just isn't enough.
Im inclined to not allow Springsteen/Talking Heads/Blondie type stuff but lets see what you all say.
If we cant agree I obviously have final say. But we do want to do a different type of poll and the 80s one worked amazingly well.

a 70s poll leaving out parliament,Sly stone, stevie wonder, marvin ,james brown, chic etc pains me but we can still have Funkadelic, Mandrill and other like-minded bands.

*IF* we do a tracks poll, then I will need at least one volunteer to help take charge of the thread keeping it bumped, keeping the nominations in order and of course right of veto/decision making. (trolls need not apply)

So what do you all think?

oh and go vote in this poll ! I'VE GOT THE POWER! This is the 1990s ELECTRONIC TRACKS AND ALBUMS voting thread! - Deadline on Monday, October 8th, at 12PM (GMT)

Oh and I will do the 90s equivalent either after this or after EOY polls, I promise.

Could you bold all nominations please. like the following

Funkadelic - Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On
Mandrill - Mandrill Is

It's unlimited but the more you nominate in one post the easier it is for us. But it doesn't really matter too much but it would help for your initial nominations. Obviously things do come to you later on.

I know there's going to be obvious classics like led zep, sabbath,television, sex pistols etc but lets try nominate weirder/noisy stuff like we did in the 80s poll

where's the multitude of blues rock and country rock stuff going to fall here? like, would some Neil Young albums be heavy enough for the poll and some wouldn't? I feel like as long as there's more electric guitars than acoustics something should have a shot. are the Rolling Stones themselves still on the outs?

That is what we need to discuss but yeah the neil young rock albums are in but no eagles! ZZTop,Rush etc are in. As much as i love gram parsons i think he is out.

Punk is in but not sure about new wave but we need to judge that album by album but probably not much new wave will get in (sorry)

yeah Eagles definitely don't rock enough. i think Little Feat do, though.

imo the first two Elvis Costello albums rock as hard as anything but i can see the case for him being too new wave.

as for krautrock - guitar albums by Can, amon duul ii are in but no cluster or tangerine dream

The Stooges - Fun House

fuck the rest imo

I guess 1st 2 Kraftwerk are allowed but not the well known stuff.

xp

I know what you mean by elvis c but i think he has to e left out along with talking heads/blondie. its not a matter of taste, i love the last 2 and like early elvis c,but they just dont fit. neither do the police

yeah, i understand that. can i put a little Frampton Comes Alive up in this bitch?

Can - Tago Mago
Can - Ege Bamyasi

I think frampton qualifies as hard rock so yeah why not. We have to remember how "heavy" a band was at the time and not judge it by how they sound now.
The Heart albums are more folky arent they? im not sure about them before someone asks.

Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts - The Adverts

Still not sure of the boundaries (which Can albums rock more than Talking Heads?) but I guess these fit?

Faust - Tapes
The Modern Lovers - The Modern Lovers
Flower Travellin' Band - Satori
Amon Duul II - Yeti

I will just take it as a given that all Can albums will be nommed.

The Adverts - Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts

That will be high in my ballot

Neu! - Neu! 75
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin III
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
MC5 - Back in the USA
Alice Cooper - Killer
Alice Cooper - Love It to Death
Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
Thin Lizzy - Bad Reputation
Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Live Rust
David Bowie - Aladdin Sane
Aphrodite's Child - 666
Cheap Trick - Cheap Trick
Cheap Trick - In Color

Just nominate them , there's no limits to amount of nominations.

How about prog stuff? I'm assuming King Crimson are ok but what about, say, Yes or Floyd?

Faust - So Far
Faust - Faust IV

first batch -

Neu! - Neu! 75
Hawkwind - Space Ritual
Gong - Camembert Electrique
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
PIL - Metal Box
Mutantes – Jardim Elétrico
James Chance & The Contortions ‎– Buy
The Pop Group - Y
The Slits - Cut

as much as i dislike yes and elp they are eligible. I think a compromise like u2/rem in 80s poll would be Pink Floyd - Animals would be ok but not the others? its a difficult one.

Animals does rock so its def in

MC5 - High Time

Ok cool.

Pink Floyd - Animals
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Next...
Sweet - Desolation Boulevard
Pink Fairies - Kings of Oblivion
The Who - Who's Next
The Who - Quadrophenia

like neil youngs rock albums are in but harvest isnt. Im stuck with tonights the night as it might not rock like the others yet the spirit of it just fits perfectly (same with beefheart)

good call on Animals and The Pink Fairies

pink fairies rule and i urge everyone to check them out

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AumbddEHET5xdEZaQ0paMUZpNEdGeUdRSGRTY3BfV2c#gid=0

Deep Purple - Machine Head

Van Halen - s/t

it occurs to me that the blow up came out in the 80s :(

a few more

Budgie - Never Turn Your Back On A Friend
Heart - Dreamboat Annie
The Runaways - Queens of Noise
Ace Frehley - Ace Frehley
Dead Boys - Young, Loud, and Snotty
UFO - Force It
The James Gang - Rides Again
Babe Ruth - First Base

Uriah Heep - Demons and Wizards
Uriah Heep - The Magician's Birthday

Sham 69 - Tell Us The Truth

can people please refer to the spreadsheet before nominating

the blow up was recorded in '78 so it's fair game

xps

Does this count? Much of it's basically Stones + Springsteen territory:

Patti Smith Group - Easter

xpost
Did I nominate something that was on there already? I tried to check before each nom.

John McLaughlin - Devotion

thx for the spreadsheet ag!

Brian Eno - Here Come the Warm Jets

Not sure I'd support any other Eno albums but this one's a noisy rock album imo. Fripp's solo on "Baby's on Fire" alone should seal it.

Radio Ethiopia is the Patti Smith album that fits for this poll imo so -
Patti Smith - Radio Ethiopia

EIII please check email

And with thanks to mr balls for the reminder -
The Runaways - self-titled

The Tony Williams Lifetime - Turn It Over

The Scream is on that spreadsheet twice.

Pretty Things - Parachute

I wasn't sure if the Rallizes album counted or not! \m/

The Dictators - Go Girl Crazy

Brian Eno - Here Come the Warm Jets

Not sure I'd support any other Eno albums but this one's a noisy rock album imo. Fripp's solo on "Baby's on Fire" alone should seal it.

I wanted to nom this and Taking Tiger Mountain but the Tosser-erateri scared me off. It's all gotta be be fucking rock music and you are a dick to suggest anything else :(

AG : devo is in the spreadsheet twice for same album, are we not men.

also, cant believe only one bowie album has been nom'd so far.

or, is the whole point of this to highlight albums that dont get the love they deserve ?

but the Tosser-erateri scared me off. It's all gotta be be fucking rock music and you are a dick to suggest anything else :(

maybe because, like the 80s poll , its a rock poll

Amon Düül II - Wolf City
Ramones - Road to Ruin
Pink Fairies - Neverneverland

thought about eno, decided i wouldn't nominate but would be happy if someone else did

could a mod please change thread title to Nominations for a 70s ROCK Albums Poll

we can dump the rolling stone part.

fwiw would love if some ilxor started a 70s hippie folk & singer songwriter poll. walking dogs just now thought that a 70s tracks poll of artists that belong nowhere near this poll but have a couple of tracks that totally would fit eg 'all the girls love alice' by elton john, maybe doesn't have to be a poll but just a thread, but on that basis those first two eno albums would have like at least 60% of their tracks on there so they totally qualify i think, at least as much as siren for sure

maybe because, like the 80s poll , its a rock poll

The weakness is that you widen or contract your claws on what is 'rock' when it suits you. Need more wider minds.

Sorry that sounds like a sack of shit! Not had a cigarette in 4 days and am going insane but still mean it!

Ugh, one of my co-workers is trying to quit smoking and she was really going off the rails yesterday.

could a mod please change thread title to Nominations for a 70s ROCK Albums Poll

we can dump the rolling stone part.

Fuck me if it is just that! Then I am not fucking interested.

damo needs a new nico patch : now !

Judas Priest - Stained Class

Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies
Mott the Hoople - Mott
New York Dolls - New York Dolls
New York Dolls - Too Much Too Soon

Scorpions - In Trance

ok im suspending nominations for now and will ask a mod to lock thread temporarily and i will run a standard poll asking if people want a stricter rock poll like we did with the 80s poll or an all genre 70s poll with nothing excluded

ILX decides the Poll. 70s Rock Poll vs 70s all genre poll.

someone get seward and xhuxk in on this

5000 posts.

Sparks - Kimono My House
Sparks - A Woofer in Tweeter's Clothing

I was serious about the Wilie Colon nomination, but I have to admit, I could make a better case if every track were as driving as Pirana, Timbalero, or Aguanile (or even as acidic as the slower Sonando Despierto), so I give up. (Go listen to it anyway.)

(What would Will Hermes do? Library copy of Love Goes to Buildings on Fire now sitting in my to read pile.)

(Maybe we should have a pole of 70s music Will Hermes mentions in his book, or that relates to music he mentions.)

We need to work out what is allowed in the poll. Anything borderline has to have a good reason for being included 'i want to vote for it' just isn't enough.
Im inclined to not allow Springsteen/Talking Heads/Blondie type stuff but lets see what you all say.
If we cant agree I obviously have final say. But we do want to do a different type of poll and the 80s one worked amazingly well.

a 70s poll leaving out parliament,Sly stone, stevie wonder, marvin ,james brown, chic etc pains me but we can still have Funkadelic, Mandrill and other like-minded bands.

poll requires negative votes obv

There's an extra entry on the spreadsheet that says "Are We Not Me?" for Devo (in addition to one with the correct title).

(Sounds like an Otomo Yoshihide title.)

nominations are closed

im not adding anything to the spreadsheet and i requested on the mod board this thread be locked.

ZZ Top - Deguello

Oh, whoops! Sorry
