the lackluster crazy rhythms How you like your suggest ban NOW, jerkface?
J/K.
Here's my ballot:40 Camper Van Beethoven - Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart30 The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms25 Elvis Costello and the Attractions - Blood & Chocolate20 XTC - Oranges & Lemons15 Camper Van Beethoven - Key Lime Pie11 XTC - Black Sea11 The Smiths - Louder Than Bombs11 Elvis Costello and the Attractions - Imperial Bedroom11 Billy Bragg - Talking with the Taxman About Poetry11 The Pogues - If I Should Fall from Grace with God8 The Feelies - Only Life8 Hüsker Dü - Zen Arcade8 The Replacements - Pleased to Meet Me8 Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me8 XTC - Skylarking6 Iron Maiden - Powerslave6 R.E.M. - Green6 Pixies - Doolittle6 The English Beat - I Just Can't Stop It6 Talking Heads - Remain in Light5 Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking5 R.E.M. - Reckoning5 Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique5 Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band - Doc at the Radar Station5 Bad Brains - I Against I4 Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation4 Young Marble Giants - Colossal Youth4 Talking Heads - The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads4 Tom Waits - Rain Dogs4 The Cure - Disintegration
Order is somewhat arbitrary, altho I'll rep for it in the main. Should have voted Sister instead of Daydream Nation (not sure what I was thinking) and if I'd swapped my votes for Blood and Chocolate and Imperial Bedroom (as could easily have been the case on a different day in a different mood) the latter would have made Top 100.

I knew a bunch of those were pretty long shots and I admit a few are just things I kinda like, and not necessarily sincerely offered as the 21st best album of the decade or whatever - - but I guess I am naive enough to be surprised that the Ants, the Traveling Wilburys, and Hall & Oates didn't make it. Oh well! Thanks once again Tuomas. I'm looking forward, as I said above, to having broadband again and checking out all these unfamiliar things. I guess I really do need to pick up some dollar Prince records though...

why'd you stop at 25 though?
― some dude, Saturday, 5 December 2009 18:23 (fourteen years ago) link
Ha, those are practically the only 25 albums on the nom list that I've heard! (Well, not really, but the remainder were ones I couldn't quite muster a vote for.)
Cosmic Thing is really underrated I think - hell of a hook-packed, fun comeback album considering what the band had been through and lost. The singles alone justify it, but there's lots of great stuff in there - "Deadbeat Club," "Channel Z," "Junebug" - damn fine record.
Lincoln is also totally great - although I've never actually heard just the album, since I got it as part of that two-disc Then set, where the album segues straight into the b-sides/EP material. So I think I subconsciously give Lincoln the points for "Nightgown of the Sullen Moon," "It's Not My Birthday" etc. The main album tracks are about as good as the band ever did though!

I noticed that and asked the mods to lock it. They told me I'd have to get Tuomas's permission because it was his thread. I tried ilx messaging him, but who knows if that's still an email that he checks.
I love this type of ilx poll, but I really hate all the "list posts" that accompany them (both in the nom process and the results roll-out). It really gums up the ilx search function.
