Queens of the Stone Age - Regular John (1998) (505 Points, 14 votes)

One of my votes!

boffo idea! xps

Okay, are you fucking kidding me? Three QOTSA tracks from the same album w/in seven spaces? Settle on a favorite, people, and then vote THAT ONE up. You're crowding out shit I LIKE.

Oh great, more Weezer. Do we get the Foo Fighters too?

I'm gonna check out if this countdown doesn't get better quicklike.

LOL Fantastic!!!

thank you pfunkboy you've made it a day to remember!

Wouldn't be an ilm metal poll without Statler & Waldorf ^

EZ and I are going on tour. Buy your tickets now.

I know it's only been 8 minutes, but let's get to the next one. We obviously (as a whole) don't care about QOTSA placements. DA.M had a little birthday celebration (yay!), but let's get back to business.

There hasn't been a group singing of happy birthday yet or a cake

Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis (2000) (506 Points, 12 votes)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-t3iTpsPC8

One of my votes btw

I would have voted for "Birthday Dethday" had I thought to nominate it

Okay, no offense to Scott or his friend Liz, but this is the 26th greatest metal tune of all time? FUCK, I'M OUT.

*pulls johnny back, clamps him at his desk*

it gets more JF friendly, after all theres still about 20 sabbath tracks to come..

but JF is right, Funeralopolis should be much higher! Shame on you ILM!

I'm serious, that is HORRIBLE. I'm thinking of all the dozens of songs that were robbed of the opportunity to place at #26 but couldn't because this gobbledygook crowded it out. I think great portions of the electorate here might be slightly retarded.

Well, Liz hadn't joined at that point so don't hold it against her. I like "Funeralopolis" quite a bit but only in the context of the album. I've never played it outside of listening to the whole record.

this is a brilliant song by a brilliant band.

Okay, no offense to Scott or his friend Liz, but this is the 26th greatest metal tune of all time? FUCK, I'M OUT.

^agree. I will stick around, but this is a weird placing.

there's been hardly anything from the 00s. chill out dudes!

Quite enjoy the Darkthrone and the Mayhem tracks. Both got a feverish quality about them which I find quite seductive. More blurred, dreamlike stuff please (sorry if that makes me a hipster).

I dig this a lot. Hadn't heard it before

remember, this is ILM voting, not Kerrang, Rolling Stone or Classic Rock voting (though im not sure about the latter actually).
You didn't want a same old bands/songs boring canonical list did you?

so actually four of my votes have made it (Unsung/Children/War Pigs/Avon) and I predict maybe two or three more will make it, but this poll is jampacked with surprises, so you never know...

Birthday wish-list:

-another High on Fire song (not necessarily the song I voted for)
-Tourette's
-maaaaybe Night Goat by the Melvins (pretty tall order I know)
-no G'n'R or AC/DC in the top 5

johnny youre my on thread stats recape dude. tell us how many songs from the 60s,70s,80s,90s,00s we've had so far.

I don't read Kerrang, Rolling Stone or Classic Rock (is that an actual magazine?), so I'm really not familiar with their canons. I mean, I peeped at them when you posted a link before, but I don't remember anything really. All I know is that we're 75 songs into this thing and there's still no Van Halen, no Scorpions, no Megadeth, and no Anthrax.

And no KISS!

I know this says more aboput my frame of reference than anything else, but Electric Wizard always sound to me like Sabbath heard through some sort of Buttholes filter.

top 10 prediction

10 Thunderstruck
9 Demon Cleaner
8 In Bloom
7 Round and Round
6 Welcome to the Jungle
5 Stairway to Heaven
4 Smells Like Teen Spirit

xpost if we got Buttholes in here this late in the game I would prolley void my bowels on the spot...

ok but that will delay the next un

Looks like I'm not gonna be able to see the final countdown in real time, as we've got a mate coming over pretty soon to stay. It's been interesting so far, though.

I hope we don't see The Final Countdown in real time or no.

Hell, I'd welcome it at this point!

there you go

That song is never as bad as I remember it. Which can't be said about some of the stuff that's placed so far.

Joey Tempest looks kind of like whatsherface in Showgirls.

I cant count but the 80s then the 90s have the most. Both over 25 tracks. The rest are well under 10.
