~~~ 15 YEARS OF ILM POLL!!! ~~~ (Metal & Heavy Rock [+ related sub-genres] Edition) VOTING & DISCUSSION THREAD. ALL ILXORS WELCOME TO PARTICPATE!! Voting Ends 11.59pm UK Time September 9 2016 .

Also oddly missing are last year's Def Leppard and Europe albums.

doesn't seem that odd to me! :P

I think trolls choose to nominate nu metal now instead

Sadly 2000 is the exact cutoff point where I stopped liking almost all new metal that was released. Besides Kosherat by Grand Belial's Key. So yeah, that one's at the top of my non-existent 2000s top 10.

why don't you like new metal?

^ why don't you like old metal? :)

i *really* love that one death ss song ('terror') you showed me. sadly nothing else they've done seems to measure up to it. but it's like the definitive old-skool metal song imo

but you dont like sabbath, zep, priest, maiden, metallica?

working on it

how is your ballot going? is your better half voting too?

only 3 full days and 50 mins to get your ballot in

Anyone still to vote?

taking my time

This should make some of you amused... the other week the pinefox recommended Dopesmoker to me. sund4r was especially tickled by that.

lol. Oh yeah, CS have you heard of this obscure record "Oceanic" by little-known group Isis (Not the Terror org.!)

it wasnt that. it was the fact that of all people the pinefox was recommending it.

vöted

Voted! I haven't heard tons of the list, but of the ones I own a good portion I found through ILM.

thanks guys!

tomorrow is your last day folks so get on it! you have no excuse for not having enough time as voting period was 2 months!

though I bet jjj will still say he missed it

gonna try v hard to vote in this lol

you can trim it down to 100. I have confidence in you

is tangenttangent going to vote?

Yes! Starting now

Why have I been listening to so much sunshine pop recently instead of this? Is it too disingenuous to add things that I discover within the last two days?

i decided since there's not really a lot of time to research new things to just submit a ballot. almost hit 50, which was surprising, i wasn't expecting to get past 20

lotta surprises in that list considering i didn't nominate anything

you should have, there was months and months to nominate

i'm just glad this poll finally got me to listen to Ghost - Meliora after previously giving up on them. big mistake corrected

you should have, there was months and months to nominate

eh i got a pretty good list out of what was nominated! very reflective of my actual taste

Have you heard
Absolutego
Boris at Last -Feedbacker
Dronevil
Flood
Akuma No Uta
Heavy Rocks (the 1st one not the 2011 one)

It took me four days to realise this was addressed to me, but anyway, I don't find Boris' droney stuff very interesting I'm afraid. I listened to Flood a few weeks ago and found it as tedious as I always do. I know I repped for Corrupted upthread but they're a real anomoly in music taste because my attention span just isn't long enough for most really slow-burning music.

I thought It was meant for Imago as well

but tbh it should be aimed at everyone who hasnt heard them esp those who have only heard pink and smile

under 26 hours to go!

I think we may be approaching 60 ballots! Not sure how many are people revoting though to replace their old ballot but 60 is about what we get in the EOY polls

Mordy has been posted missing

Mordy has voted! We must be close to 60 ballots now.

What happens if Babymetal wins?

also, I hope I wasn't supposed to do anything special to my ballot in order for my top 10 be "extra-weighted."

Thanks for the great death metal suggestions in this thread, although I didn't feel like I had enough time to get comfortable enough with new (to me) stuff to vote for it.

Did I really forget to nominate Paik - Satin Black? Wow Im dumb

Still voting for it tho

My favourite is Witchrist The Grand Tormentor which is a heavier and more occult sounding take on Incantation.

Listening to this now after searching the thread for 'occult' - it's great. All the possible permutations of saying their name aloud also good.

Wee Tchree Street

Anyone left still to vote? less than 10 hours to go!

voted

thanks!

I will need all ten hours.

lol this poll has been running since january

My focus this year has clearly been all wrong. Don't worry, 5ive may still sneak onto my ballot

and corrupted and pre-pink classic drone and sludge Boris?

Haha, Corrupted still on my 37-strong album queue, so we'll see
