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)

Everybody had the chance to nominate songs.

I don't think there was a lack of cool stuff in the noms, really, but I don't know. I was hoping for more insight into what the metal dudes liked. And I realize in my ballot, that I nom'd some hair metal and classic rock stuff too, but I think it was less obvious stuff than Paradise City and Back in Black. I'm not totally disappointed, because this poll has tipped me off to some interesting stuff. But it's just like, "Wow - Back in Black, huh?"

49 Black Sabbath · Into the Void (1971) (366 points · 8 votes - 1 number one vote)

This is a song about rockets. Did you know that people shot a dog named Laika into space and then never got her back? Humans are dicks.

1979?

NUMBER 49??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I had this thing at #2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It'll be all Sabbath from here on in, apart from Angel Of Death and Cat Scratch Fever so don't worry

Every time I hear this song it's like the first time ever. It's so goddamn great that i cant even find words to describe it.

Number 49?

Is this the first one with a number 1 vote? if so, at least i have that as consolation

48 King Crimson · 21st Century Schizoid Man (1969) (369 points · 10 voters)

I don't even have the energy to taunt you prog fakers, I will just let the lonely attempts of this youtuber to make friends via lyrics speak volumes about what it must be like for you.

Henry its from 1969

I have big paws, too big for your keypads.

Also there was saxophone. I became upset.

Should have been the Flower Travellin' Band version, surely?

Nice to see some real music in here at last

Should have been the Flower Travellin' Band version, surely?

^definitely not the Ozzy version

Based on the shocking Into the Void placing, I rescind my prior prediction about guaranteeing the #1 song.

Which song was it? Spill Bill!

Not posting next one til you do, Henry is so upset he's gone for a liedown.

hey Bill Children of the Grave wz my #1, placed @ 77 and it had one other #1 vote besides...

Go check my ballot, it's my number 1. A foolish prediction on my part-embarrassed to even post it on here after seeing how my ballot varies from this list.

xxpost

Interesting, Drugs. Definitely curious to see how this thing shakes out.

Not what I thought you would expect to win.

the next song is absolutely brilliant and I'm so glad to see it place.
I didn't vote for it though, It was one I cut as I thought it wouldnt make it so chose another song by the band (that actually placed earlier) so shows how much I know!

It's gotten some love from non-metal/hard rock denizens of ILM. But maybe a leap of faith.

Manilla Road-· Flaming Metal System (1983) (380 Points, 11 votes)

FUCK YES

Never heard of Manilla Road before this. That's better than the first one. Are they NWOBH? They sound quite a lot like Spinal Tap.

Probably the best cult heavy metal band in america.

Slough Feg covered one of their songs on a recentish album. Anyone who is into them, is REALLY into them (like with Kyuss)

I posted a manilla road lp on mordys metal listening club recently.

nice prison art album cover

next one up i voted for

by scotlands best ever band *ahem*

what the fuck is into the void doing at #49.

On this poll xp. You're forgetting Talking Heads.

stuff I've voted for

Unsung
Children of the Grave

I expect two more from my ballot will make this, but tbf, as a metalhead I am kind of shit. Too many Fall albums!

I would love it if touretee's made it...

and I hand you over to Henry for the next 2, he's calmed down a bit apparently.

Herman, with as much as you seem to love Manilla Road (and with them being a fuXing c0rny as they are) I don't want to hear one more word out of you that slights hair metal. Because nothing I've ever been a fan of is as ridiculous as Manilla Road.

or as good? ;)

As absurd. ;)

I just got here, btw...so uh...Paradise City comes in 41 places higher than Welcome to the Jungle? What is wrong with you people? (I only voted for Sweet Child, so it's partly my fault, but c'mon!!!)

id take paradise city over wtj any day. id take its so easy over both.

I would too re: It's So Easy, but no one nominated it.

btw a lot of rolling metal thread regulars didn't vote. So dont be surprised at any results. some false stuff will be too high,some classics will be too low, some stuff always in lists will appear, but it also means the angel witches,manilla roads and witchfinder generals get in.
Also extreme stuff will never do that well im tracks polls... or will it?
If a track is too low, dont blame those who did vote!

I'm not a big gnr fan, i find appetite highly overrated, but 4 or 5 of its songs are 4 or 5 of the best ever.

the rolling metal thread regulars suck a dick then!

Henry can take care of them!
