I guess it comes down to what Justice Stewart said about obscenity: I can't define it, but I know it if I (hear) it.

Battles fans look closely

Cool

Another of my votes btw

I voted for it too, but wasn't sure whether or not it would make it.

Me neither, it was close but it got there in the end.

Hey Dan have you worked out yet that metal is a broad church and every metalhead hates most other sub-genres of it ? ;)

enter sandman and smells like teen spirit are the threads equivalent of taylor swift & the xx

Except that Taylor Swift and the xx are both actually good, amirite?

no

Hey Dan have you worked out yet that metal is a broad church and every metalhead hates most other sub-genres of it ? ;)

yeah it's basically dance music with guitars from what I can tell

Taylor Swift > the xx >>>>> "Smells Like Teen Spirit" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Enter Sandman"

RONG

yes, we get it; you're high. stop rubbing it in

ilxor, I would not even lower myself to bite you in the ass after you said that

my dumb owner needs coffee but as soon as he gets back I will be here to tell you all how wrong and false you are for these atrocities

well, he is right about "Enter Sandman" sucking hardcore

ilxor, I would not even lower myself to bite you in the ass after you said that

Yeah... sorry.

I mean, there are definitely days I'd place the xx above Taylor. Sorry, poor judgment.

Otherwise, ilxor OTM.

Henry!!!

Poll threads aren't the same without Tuomas & The Lex. Wish they would join us.

more Henry pleaze! he seems like a dawg that knows what's what.

Notice that there is nothing from the 00's

does that mean you're about to spoil the streak?

More like Enter Sandwang amirite

jftr, my deff of metal: any post-cream/hendrix guitar music that was influenced by in some essential way (ie, volume, heft, noize, corn,etc.) by c/h, and/or their zillions of disciples).

strike that first by.

do you consider Cream or Hendrix heavy rock or proto heavy rock?

I got mad stick from everyone at school after that Word performance. "Are they one of 'your' bands? Fucking awful. Why don't you listen to Jamiroquai instead?"

deff heavy rock, just not extremely metal all that often.

I doubt Cream or Hendrix fans would consider them "metal"

Bill magill are they false?

if "Purple Haze" ain't metal then nothing is.

Pfynk chk yer email

i got it

you would never know he was posting via his phone, would you?

"Bill magill are they false?"

Hahahaha, I'm not the expert, man. Just a fan. Im not opening that can of worms! they certainly both influenced a lot of hard rock/metal, along with a lot of other genres, to tell you the truth. Would there have been a Stevie Ray Vaughn without Hendrix? no, but SRV isnt metal.

Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child (Slight Return)(a long fucking time ago in the late 60s) (325 Points, 8 votes)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE80W5xYbTI

Amazing tv footage, watch to the end for a surprise.

I guess noone cares? lol

damn you whiney

Sorry, I was watching the clip. Awesome stuff, the bit between 1'09 and 1'24 is just about as good as it gets.

yeah, you cant but help get goosebumps watching it.

but the bit at 7.45 "we're going to stop playing this rubbish" :)))

Watching it now, I wish I'd placed this much further up my ballot.

heh, awesome. and timely too.

indeed. Esp with the Cream cover.

Are we all aboard for #80?

Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train (1980) (325 Points,9 votes)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRbPWcLode0

Man, Quiet Riot II is just such a disappointing album cover. Like, from a thumbnail jpg, I was like "Whoa, good idea: chicks with football uniforms." but then I opened it up and nope, it was dudes. That's my long way of saying R.I.P. Randy Rhodes. Crazy Train feels played to me these days, but that riff is fucking huge.

That Hendrix clip is great, and sterling work by Lulu on the link too. I don't think I even voted for it, shame on me.
