How much more Geirbait did you guys vote for?
― it means "EMOTIONAL"! (HI DERE), Tuesday, May 4, 2010 8:36 PM (10 seconds ago)
Does Geir vote in these lists? I guess we will know if Dodgy's The Dodgy album suddenly makes an appearance.

boo on you all for not helping me paint Dr. Octagon as Britpop in an attempt to get Geir to claim he loves it
― it means "EMOTIONAL"! (HI DERE), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 20:39 (fourteen years ago) link
Isn't this a tie with Suede for #34, though? (sorry, my ordered list ocd just kicked in.)
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 4 May 2010 20:39 (fourteen years ago) link
re:britpopI honestly thought the old poll used up all the britpop.

I really really hate Mansun. Sorry.

I've only had 1 album place so far (the Sun City Girls one I lavished 40 points on). But there's tons of good stuff so far and like so many ppl itt I'm picking up some promising electronic/ambient pointers.

Mansun was where I fucked up.
Lots of people said this in the '90s iirc.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 4 May 2010 20:44 (fourteen years ago) link
Piss you, LJ, you are not putting Mansun and Suede and all the other crap in this poll and then abolishing Stereolab.
xpost wait, does that mean it's sort of okay again?
― emil.y, Tuesday, 4 May 2010 20:44 (fourteen years ago) link
Just scrap whatever is at number one? I won't tell anyone.
― Vision Creation Mansun (NickB), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 20:44 (fourteen years ago) link

Make me an ILM mod and I'll do it myself...
*Six vs DMS vs Dr Octagon, in fact, coz there's no strawman like indie hiphop!

Hahaha! Outstanding work, ringmaster!
Six is hardly britpop is it, other than that they were British and used guitars. It's not got much in common with Cast or Shed Seven at least. I went for it for its ambition above all, the polar opposite on this score at least of Oasis and the rest of the dadrock types.
Similarly with Dog Man Star, which is the high water mark of britpop, even though really it came out before britpop was a thing. It's a bit like Six in that they both start with a kind of powerpop(?) template but open out beyond it very quickly. With Suede at least the arrangements are always much lusher, so the opening out seems a bit more natural and less quirky than Six. It doesn't all work, but the half-dozen songs that do are magnificent things. Only Blur really occasionally get close.
There's still one other britpop era album I was hoping to see, but I suspect that might be yer lot, unless Geir does ride to the rescue after all.

N.B. I have the Dr Octagon album and will listen to it soon - my brother assures me it's great

I don't think I've ever heard any of the rock albums in this poll, except for Metallixa (maybe REM too?), so I can't really raise my ire for any specific artist, just for the general prevalence of indie/alternative rock. For some reason I've actually seen Suede live twice though. I guess they were an okay live act, never cared for their music. But I don't quite get what makes them so hated compared to some other bands in this poll - what makes them so different from, say, REM?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 4 May 2010 20:59 (fourteen years ago) link
why don't any of you want to help me make Geir listen to hip-hop
spend more time talking about Dr. Octagon's advanced chord progressions
― it means "EMOTIONAL"! (HI DERE), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 20:59 (fourteen years ago) link
Definitely on-par with the Beatles and Oasis iirc.
― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 21:00 (fourteen years ago) link
it does have more F Sharp 7 diminished than any other album in hip hop history

seeing geir complain about black ppl music for the 87th time is just not worth it dp, no matter how he ends up hearing it.

Have you heard Dr. Octagon's pitch-perfect, note-for-note cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody," guys?

Similar artists to Dr Octagon on Last Fm include Early Genesis, Ocean Colour Scene, Late XTC, Crowded House, Coldplay and The Flower Kings (??)

I don't think Geir even reads these polls, sadly - he might if he were the only voter
