Is this some sort of canon thing where none of your favorite 50 are really less than a decade old?

pretty sure i voted twice. is that possible?
― cock chirea, Thursday, 19 September 2013 01:11 (ten years ago) link
mh - I already answered something about this above, I think it just kinda wound up that way rather than by design. Also I don't really know who the good modern artists really are.

I didn't go over it with a fine tooth comb, but is the Boredoms album the only overlap between this and the Moka list? Seems like an odd place to intersect. I should go back and listen to it again.

At the time of posting my only list was that fom the 90s in which the Boredoms record was in fact the only overlapping album... Frogbs list is heavy on the 70s. ILM had a great century poll in which Boredoms made te top 50 albums of the century iirc. I have already posted my 60s and 70s picks in which frogbs and me overlap in the following albums: Can, King Crimson, Sparks, Devo and Kinks. Out of all of these I'm voting for Ege Bamyasi because it's one of my top 10 desert island records.
I don't know how to recommend that Boredoms record. For me it was a right place, right time sort of thing.

devo. bunch of stuff vying for the #2 slot: tago mago, super ae, before & after science, remain in light.
some interesting choices, though strikingly short on emotional/hormonal/physical vigor when taken as a whole.

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

wow, the New Wave stuff did way better. I wasn't even sure whether or not to include Remain in Light in the first place. It does make me smile to see some of the stuff that got votes though. Who voted for Echolyn? Is there a member of Echolyn on ILX?

SOME NEW STUFF...I decided that Max Tundra's 2008 album deserves a spot easily, plus this EXCELLENT Indian pop album called "Colonial Cousins" which ISNT ON RYM!! But I write about it here!!!

Max Tundra teeters on the edge of greatness without necessarily toppling imo, although his contribution to The Exquisite Corpse Game was pretty much a career highlight, so his next record might be The One. If that album was all as good as Orphaned and Until We Die...
Also sorry dude but these results just emphasise how much I loathe Talking Heads

Always surprised by how highly people rate that album

(I like THeads btw)
Well it's the most well-known out of all of those so I'm not surprised. I almost booted it off the list b/c I don't really listen to it much but every time I do I gotta say I'm really impressed by it.
The Max Tundra album has a lot of excellent cuts on it, especially Which Song which may be my favorite single of the decade. Only track that rubs me the wrong way is the opener which I find rather dull. I too think that his next album will probably be his best one, but I wonder at this point if we'll ever see it...
― frogbs, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 19:48 (ten years ago) link
Which Song is gr8 as well yeah. Was fkn hilarious when Will Get Fooled Again wound up in the EOY trax countdown and yr usual lot listened in horror
― lovely cuddly fluffy dope (imago), Wednesday, 15 January 2014 19:50 (ten years ago) link
max tundra is still the worst shit out there. a remarkable long career of shit.
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Wednesday, 15 January 2014 19:52 (ten years ago) link
listening to Which Song over and over is what convinced me I had to include it here. it's one of those songs that fully explains why he takes 6 years between albums. I thought it was awesome when he appeared on the Exquisite Corpse Game, even if his sound palette is remarkably different than everyone else on there it's pretty clear that he's cut from the same cloth (and seems to attract the same type of fans)
― frogbs, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 19:55 (ten years ago) link
well yeah if there's a man who will spend 1 week perfecting 10 seconds of music it's this bro

frogbs, you may enjoy this guy, he is from the same scene that MT sprung from.

yeah the "13" album is floating my boat so far
― frogbs, Thursday, 16 January 2014 00:55 (ten years ago) link
I looked for Frogbs on the Fleetwood Mac - Tusk thread. He isn't there. I looked Tusk on this thread. It isn't there.
Did you rave about that album elsewhere because I could have swore your enthusiasm convinced me to buy it?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 30 January 2015 01:39 (nine years ago) link
hah, no, definitely not me! maybe it's time?
― Abstinence Hawk (frogbs), Friday, 30 January 2015 14:22 (nine years ago) link
Yeah it's a great album.

THIS THREAD DOESNT SEEM SO STUPID NOW DOES IT!???
― frogbs, Tuesday, 22 September 2020 20:24 (three years ago) link
I mean I'd do mine but I don't want a Spirit Of Eden walkover, which is what it would be

Don't tempt me.

frogs, no thread ever posted on ilx has ever been stupid; save for the ones posted by me, but that's usually kinda the point whenever i start one.
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Tuesday, 22 September 2020 21:42 (three years ago) link
ooh ooh, maybe i should poll my most hated albums ever!
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Tuesday, 22 September 2020 21:43 (three years ago) link
Do
it
!
― sock solipsist (pomenitul), Tuesday, 22 September 2020 21:43 (three years ago) link
i'd have to put some serious thought into that. i'm sure coming up with a top 50 or whatever would be easy, just have to set aside the time to do it.
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Tuesday, 22 September 2020 22:42 (three years ago) link
this was fun, should I do it again? :)
― frogbs, Tuesday, 22 August 2023 03:43 (eight months ago) link
Soul Coughing, that's a band I don't see mentioned on here, like, ever.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 03:45 (eight months ago) link
Would have voted future days, or maybe ITKOTKC (nearly went on mine)
You already know my opinion on doing it again
― H.P, Tuesday, 22 August 2023 03:57 (eight months ago) link
there would be a lot more ILX fodder this time around I think
― frogbs, Tuesday, 22 August 2023 03:58 (eight months ago) link
suggest ban if u voted for the kinks over boredoms, magma, cluster, ruins, etc.
