ILM : The Top 100 Metal/Heavy Rock Tracks Of All Time - Presented By Our Host, Henry, ILM's Favourite Heavy Metal Dog! THE END IS NIGH! (FIN)

I am trying to keep up, and post, on a train with a piss poor signal.

Hmm, I'd have preferred another Witchfinder General track after all.

This is interesting. I think this means that there will be some even higher ranked CF to come. Still, that's a much better track than "Mexican Radio".

ok...next?

For such a highly rated band, with 10 voters, some people seem to dislike Celtic Frost. Never trust hair metal fans obviously ;)

I know I yelled loudest about hair metal, but I honestly do like other kinds of metal, etc. just as much. Celtic Frost, though...no way.

Slayer - War Ensemble (1990) (320 Points, 12 votes)

YES! I VOTED FOR THIS ^

a happy johnny fever at last :)

I can honestly say I like all of these so far.

Yeah, I'm down with most of these so far. Best discovery so far = Diamond Head. I think in my mind I always confused them with King Diamond and stayed away.

Looking forward to listening to these youtubes ASAP, at top volume through my stereo! Only votes from me thus far: GNR, FNM and Soundgarden (odd those 2 tied).

Did Kerr fall asleep?

He never sleeps

That's what I thought, but he hasn't posted on a thread he started himself in over 30 minutes.

Danzig - Mother (1990) (320 Points, 12 votes)

Isn't that from 1988?

Anyway, Rick Rubin's all up in the house now!!!

Hopefully we can get a trifecta with The Cult in the next slot.

I havent voted for any of these yet. Which either makes my list totally worthless, or else all my songs charted pretty well. Question: how were Manic Street Preachers allowed to make the poll?

I think 4 of mine have placed

including the manics track!

MSP are as hard rock as, e.g., GNR.

I'm at 4 right now as well.

and the next track I voted for, which makes 5, i'm amazed and delighted it made it. I guess I stanned hard for it. Which proves you need to do this in all poll threads.

MSP are as hard rock as, e.g., GNR.

fair, but im not a fan of either band, to tell you the truth

MSP are not as hard rock as GNR

THANK YOU

Now I've become one of those guys I was bitching about before, but "Motorcycle Emptiness" shouldn't be within 10 miles of this countdown. FALSE SHIT.

SECONDED

Don't look now boys, The Wonder Stuff will be just around the corner.

Self-harming has no place in metal.

Holy Bible is a heavier, more abrasive record than anything GNR ever did, regardless of what you think of the comparative merits of the 2 bands.

If I'd voted this would be like 500x troo-er

Self-harming has no place in metal.

Depends how you define "self-harming"!

GG Allin sadly not nominated :-(

Manilla Road - Necropolis (1983) (321 Points, 9 votes)

YES!

I just went and listened a couple singles from The Holy Bible and, fair enough, they rock (way more than goddamn "Motorcycle Emptiness" anyway), but Appetite For Destruction shits all over those songs from a great height as far as heaviness and abrasiveness is concerned. I don't think those guys even took a shower between November 1987 and March 1989.

I love GNR too, but IMO Holy Bible is up there with Joy Division's Closer- but then it came out when I was 15, so I was a sucker for it.

Comparisons aside, I don't think there's much doubt that the MAnics are a hard rock band, and with caveats, one of the best BRitish ones of the last 20 years, again IMO.

" one of the best BRitish ones of the last 20 years, again IMO"

hasnt exactly been a British specialty during that time, has it?

and that's not a knock against my british brothers, because i think you guys have historically kicked ass.

Herm, let's end this nonsense, keep rolling out the jams.

Comparisons aside, I don't think there's much doubt that the MAnics are a hard rock band,

Well, I'm no expert, but I doubt it ... but I hate that fucking band so I'm biased

xxp that's a fair point, but hardly the Manics's fault! And yes, on with the poll!

Back to the topic at hand, I've never heard Manilla Road before, but that guy sings like one of the seven dwarves.

so far the only song I voted for is "Mother," which I danced to at my wedding (my mother is a fan). voted for a different Soundgarden and 4 different GNR songs.

ok an alltimefuckingclassic coming up.

anyone who doesn't like this is a falser.

so far, every time you say that, it's something i'm not into at all...
