ILX favourite albums of all time nominations and ting open until April 1st

This is the nominations thread. Any albums, any genres, any era. The usual minimum of 5, maximum of 100. They can all be by the same artist if you like.

Nominations are open until April 1st (no, this is not a joke) and voting will commence sometime after that and last about four weeks.

This is my first one of these poll thingies. Why? Because I'm planning something similar for people outside ILX (and inside ILX too) soon and maybe they can run together somehow. Plus it's crazy that we've not done this in 13 years; the cohort of the forums has changed massively and the results should be interesting.

Obviously, as implicit in the title, this is about FAVOURITE, not BEST. Attempts at objectivity are only cheating yourself, and cheating the poll too.

And please, god, no Neutral fucking Milk Hotel.

britney spears - blackout

lock thread

zzz

its unlimited nominations btw the 5 min 100 max is for voting (nick got mixed up)

yes

I would imagine results will be very different from the original poll - ILM Top 100 Records -- The Full List

Would expect to see more rap/dance etc and would hope to see some jazz/rnb/metal/country and a fair few other things that aren't just the usual token entries.

NO NO NO

its to be a personal FAVOURITES list of up to 100 on the voting form. If no ones heard your 100 faves that doesnt matter. Otherwise you get a boring list.

the idea of favourites instead of best ever is to encourage that

If nick wants to put the embrace albums at the top of the list he can even though no one else in their right mind would ;)

good point, then let me add the following:

Susumu Hirasawa - Technique of Relief
Denki Groove - VOXXX
Haruomi Hosono - Paraiso
Colonial Cousins - Colonial Cousins

A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
Redman - Whut Thee Album
Ghostface Killah - Ironman
Public Enemy - Yo Bum Rush The Show
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...
GZA - Liquid Swords
UGK - Ridin' Dirty
The Geto Boys - No Nuts No Glory
Bushwick Bill - Phantom Of The Rapra
Gang Starr - Hard To Earn
Mobb Deep - The Infamous

I'd probably only include the 2nd, 4th, and 6th. The odd numbered ones are shit.

theyve made 6 albums??

Black Sabbath-Master of Reality
Black Sabbath-Vol. 4
Yes-Relayer
Mahavishnu Orchestra-Inner Mounting Flame
Alice Cooper-Love it to Death
Deep Purple-Burn

everything from the jazz top 250 poll will be added to spreadsheet btw

Unless every single one of those 250 are personal favorites of yours, you should just wait and see if they get added.

nah, i want to avoid the "wah wah wah no one nominated... brigade" people simply forget to nominate things then its too late.

there will be a fair few jazz and funk albums on my ballot tho for sure

Thin Lizzy - Johnny The Fox
Skepticism - Lead and Aether
Enslaved - Yggdrasil
Agalloch - Pale Folklore
Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane
Catacombs - In the Depths of R'lyeh
Winter - Into Darkness
Carcass - Heartwork
Macabre - Sinister Slaughter/Behind The Walls of Sleep
Toxic Holocaust - Hell on Earth
Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny
Ulver - Bergtatt
Foetus - Nail
Death In June - The Guilty Have No Pride
Pagan Altar - Lords of Hypocrisy

Manilla Road - Crystal Logic
Fen - Epoch
Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come
Gris - Neurasthenie
Grief - Turbulent Times
Melvins - Houdini
Grim Reaper - See You In Hell
Hawkwind - Space Ritual

I guess that will do for right now...

It's either "nominate your favorites" or it's "nominate your favorites and then I'm gonna throw in some stuff no one nominated". And that's counter to the spirit of the poll imo.

Don't micromanage us is what I'm saying. We're adults. If something gets left out, then something gets left out and we'll cope.

nice, at least every post so far has at least one potential favourite on there.

Achtung baby is a duplicate?

is this going to be the longest ever nominations list for an ilm poll?

I hope so.

I was vaguely thinking that you could chuck EVERY nomination ever from every albums poll ever in the pot. But let's see what gets nommed in here first, shall we?

serious q - why have noms at all? just vote.

oh maybe it's a data/speadsheet thing

apols .. achtung baby has already had a nom ..

checked for other lifetime faves, but missed this one ..

It's a data thing.

correct. its to help seandalai (plus its impossible to remember every album you like so you need a reminder)

Will we have a top 1000 slow roll?

I'll get to some noms this weekend. I still think we have unfinished business along the lines of the weird/heavy 70s and 80s polls -- the 60s!

I dunno when it is going to be held but its unlikely nick is going to wait for 2 years because then the half-decade polls etc will need to wait too (unless stet/mods insist all polls must join that queue.) but that is for the other thread not here!

but a good point about at least a good few months or more of listening time.

it's not stet or mods or anybody forcing anybody to wait their turn to do polls, and i doubt it ever would be. it's just a bunch of people, really all but a couple people, who are choosing to be polite and submit to an agreed upon system.

ignore the nominations closing date date. Poll still aint happening. It was postponed because it clashed with the classic rock poll .

I dont think anyone has time or inclination to run this in the near future but if it does run later this year or next year (or after that if forced to join the queue) the nominations will still be safe so keep nominating but just realise it could be a good while until it nicks ready to run it.
