so, am i wrong in thinking that if you struck every doom/stoner/psyche/post/ambient title from this list, you'd have about ten albums left?

I'm hitting the road for northern Wisconsin. Will try to have my wife read me updates while I'm driving. So if my phone battery dies and we get stranded in a blizzard and die, it's all y'all's fault.

I mean, I'm glad the ILM metal polls have the slant they do. Afaict, most metal lists don't really intersect with my tastes nearly as much as these tend to. I think it was the 07 poll or so that got me to realize that, often, what I sought in contemporary rock music was most present in certain branches of metal (or else in niches that are categorized as "jazz").
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 17 December 2014 17:38 (nine years ago) link
^this
feeling a bit bad for not voting Jute Gyte into this rundown, obv, sorry Sund4r. wd have been 1 & 2 for me even i dare say if i'd heard every single album here

you said that last year LJ!
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 17 December 2014 17:41 (nine years ago) link
I think there was a post on the nominations thread that summed it up along the lines of its a poll of albums the ilx metal fans like rather than just a "metal" poll.
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 17 December 2014 17:42 (nine years ago) link
Ha, I didn't nominate Bill Frisell or Owen Pallett, though.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 17 December 2014 17:45 (nine years ago) link
Solstafir seem cool. I need to give it more listens.
Did anyone follow prog-rock this year? I only heard one thing I really liked, this band Gazpacho: https://soundcloud.com/kscopemusic/sets/gazpacho-demon

23 The Skull - For Those Which Are Asleep 489 Points, 13 voteshttp://i.imgur.com/HsUrZPE.jpgspotify:album:2LBdt08fhIzXNtbSlz7ZC7
The Skull is a doom metal band founded by three former members of Trouble, vocalist Eric Wagner, bassist Ron Holzner and drummer Jeff "Oly" Olson. In May 2012, Olson departed from The Skull due to his desire to "wait for a real Trouble reunion with original members or not play Trouble's music at all." However, on August 19th, 2013 Olson rejoined The Skull stating, "I want to rock again." [1] The Skull performs a large portion of Trouble's first two pioneering doom metal albums; Psalm 9 and self-titled The Skull; and perform a large catalogue of several other Trouble classics.
This 'comeback' was a wonderful surprise
Happy to see this get so many votes. It didn't generate a ton of talk on the Rolling thread.
