on the other hand-- if it's a heavy rock poll and we're vetoing swans because we're afraid some vampire weekend fan might bother to click on the metal poll thread, then submit a ballot with swans at #1, then this is just stupid

But there runs the risk of non metalheads voting swans #1 just because that's the big ILM band they're all familiar with
exactly the attitude i'm referring to ^^
come on guys

Vote for anything your candy ass thinks is "heavy." I just said they're not metal.

i'd like to veto that nachtmystium album because it was reviewed well on pitchfork and also written about on stereogum and a lot of indie/"hipster" kids read stereogum. no fucking way is some false-metal stereogum reader gonna mess up MY poll results because THEY happen to like nachtmystium!!

I want to agree with you again, you know. Swans played at Supersonic this year and and Roadburn next year. An argument could be made that says they're as metal as it gets.

Wilildlife is as heavy as Torche is nowadays.
I don't get why we've included Jesu or Sunn o)))))))))))) or Om in years past but not Swans this year. None of them is approaching heaviness from a metal viewpoint, no matter what they say or what actual metal stuff various players in those bands have done or continue to do.

Wolf People are fucking great. Quite a shame they have wolf in their name. They sound nothing like any of those other crappy wolf bands!
