I like Jandek but I am not sure if he's in any rockist canon...is he?

es hurt (ddduncan), Friday, 28 January 2005 18:21 (twenty-one years ago)

two years pass...

Wait, no one said Steely Dan?

jaymc, Friday, 28 September 2007 18:58 (eighteen years ago)

#4 was probably a gag answer and yet the list still kept going! You'd think they would have ignored it and used the numeral 4 for the next real answer, but it wasn't to be...

Rev. Hoodoo, Friday, 28 September 2007 19:06 (eighteen years ago)

Led Zeppelin?

Trip Maker, Friday, 28 September 2007 19:33 (eighteen years ago)

Alice Cooper maybe

M@tt He1ges0n, Friday, 28 September 2007 19:37 (eighteen years ago)

I would rather like to as: Is there an act that figures high in most rocklist canons that is not loved by a lot of ILM'ers?

Geir Hongro, Friday, 28 September 2007 19:57 (eighteen years ago)

Neither are Burzum nor Magna.

Well, rule #1 is that there are always some ILMers who will like something, no matter how obscure or disliked it is elsewhere.

Are there artists that are loved by the "rock canon" and yet get a lot less love on ILM? Surely Dylan, Springsteen, 60s San Fran scene, etc.

Cunga, Friday, 28 September 2007 20:21 (eighteen years ago)

"Neither are Burzum nor Magna."

Magna's on the No Copyeditors Rock 100 list.

U2 meet a lot of hatred here.

Geir Hongro, Friday, 28 September 2007 21:17 (eighteen years ago)

I'm seeing mostly differing ideas of what the rockist canon is. (Not to mention "rocklist canon" and "rock canon") Or maybe some of these are jokes I'm not getting...

Rich Smörgasbord, Friday, 28 September 2007 22:57 (eighteen years ago)

Prince is probably more popist, right?

kingkongvsgodzilla, Friday, 28 September 2007 23:46 (eighteen years ago)

<i>#4 was probably a gag answer and yet the list still kept going!</i>

I assume the repetition of #6 was meant to slight your mom's place in the rockist canon, not Prince's.

Talking Heads

stephen, Saturday, 29 September 2007 00:34 (eighteen years ago)

Talking Heads? See, now they're too apollonian to be called rockist.

Rich Smörgasbord, Saturday, 29 September 2007 00:52 (eighteen years ago)

Shed Seven

max r, Saturday, 29 September 2007 00:52 (eighteen years ago)

LOL. Shed Seven don't belong in either the rockist canon nor the ILM one. :)

Geir Hongro, Saturday, 29 September 2007 16:13 (eighteen years ago)

i think it is pretty clear that shed seven are one of the most critically acclaimed bands of all time: hugely influencial, massive fanbase, innovative, sexy, glamourous, intelligent... how can you not worship them?
