So what's going to finish behind Damaged and First Four Years?

Herman G. Neuname, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 00:20 (sixteen years ago) link

I went for Slip It In but that's just because it's what I'm feeling lately. Black Coffee, Rats Eyes, The Bars, My Ghetto. That sums up my life experience for the last few months. Don't get me wrong, I grew up on Damaged and all the pre-Rollins stuff, but Nervous Breakdown, TV Party, Rise Above and Six Pack express a hope and sense of lightness I don't really feel right now.

I think My War is going to be a bit of a dark horse in this poll.

Herman G. Neuname, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 11:45 (sixteen years ago) link

7 hours left nearly til poll close. Vote!

Herman G. Neuname, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:16 (sixteen years ago) link

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Ahhh! The First Four Years beaten into third by the lurking My War fans! Damn it all to hell!

lol

ILM is doom central these days

Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 16 January 2008 00:22 (sixteen years ago) link

I voted mah war

what clown car pulled up and voted for who's got the 10 1/2?

Edward III, Wednesday, 16 January 2008 02:26 (sixteen years ago) link

I love that there are votes for every album. Somebody more obsessive than me needs to find out which other bands on ILM have had that kind of result.

sleeve, Wednesday, 16 January 2008 02:36 (sixteen years ago) link

Husker Du managed that too.

Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 16 January 2008 22:56 (sixteen years ago) link

six months pass...

I think thats a great live album.

Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:44 (fifteen years ago) link

Yeah, as far as live albums go, that's one of the better ones I've ever heard.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 18:56 (fifteen years ago) link

Just listening to it now for the first time. Sounds tons better than Live '84 so far.

MacDara, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 20:27 (fifteen years ago) link

i found one cassette of a audio book version of get in the van in our practice space, been rocking rollins bad vibes in the car all week.

good lord i can't believe anyone put themselves through that shit. lots of lolz but jesus christ it sounds like it was miserable.

M@tt He1ges0n, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 20:33 (fifteen years ago) link

dunno, it always struck me as blandly rocking combined with rollins being insufferable by that point. I find the whole "who's got the 10 1/2" routine is cringe-inducing.

Oh god, I'm boring but it's Damaged all the way.

My favourite Flag story comes from a friend of mine who saw them at the Christmas on Earth Festival in Leeds. When was it? 1981? He must have been about 13.

The glue bag, studded ,mohawks just did not understand

How could this fucking Yank bunch of 'straights' out punk by far, every fucker on the bill.

I don't think the amg writer would agree with the ILM placing of My War

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 22:27 (fourteen years ago) link

and does Edward III still hate that live album?

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 22:33 (fourteen years ago) link

Wasted ... Again! is dope and should be here

Fox Force Five Punchline (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 22:35 (fourteen years ago) link

I forget if we did an ep's poll. If we didn't, anyone interested in one? Or are we all SST'd out for now?

If 5 people say do it then I might just go ahead.

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 22:45 (fourteen years ago) link

Edward III are you around?

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 1 April 2010 14:12 (fourteen years ago) link

Just tried listening to My War for the first time in like 25 years. Yeesh. They should have called it quits after Damaged.

Darin, Thursday, 1 April 2010 21:26 (fourteen years ago) link

heh at least 20 ilx0rs disagree with you

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 1 April 2010 21:27 (fourteen years ago) link

Of course they do.

No Broehner (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 22 July 2011 18:12 (twelve years ago) link

lol there were no cops, security was actually a lot nicer than at most outdoor shows

puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Friday, 22 July 2011 18:13 (twelve years ago) link

those aren't cops stage left? they're in uniform, no?

i'm not a lawyer, but i play one on a messageboard (stevie), Friday, 22 July 2011 18:17 (twelve years ago) link

they were rentacop venue security, got a little bugged out after not doing anything about 30 mins of stage diving because for the past few years the venue has only really hosted world music shows, but all this is beside the point really, it was a great show, good sound, fun crowd

puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Friday, 22 July 2011 18:26 (twelve years ago) link

ah, gotcha.

GREEN with envy not to have been there, btw!
