Top 100 Punk Albums (Part 2) Poll List

[Brain Toad]

After much painstaken work, here is the list of albums that made it to the poll rounds. If you need a reminder, here is how the polls will run:

Next will come round 1 of the polls. The 100 albums will be taken and split up into 10 groups of 10 and put into polls. Each of these polls will run for 3 days, with 2 being started, then the next day 2 more, so on. Once all these polls are through, we will move onto round 2. In round 2 the top 4 of the last 10 polls will be taken out for a total of 40 albums. These 40 will be divided into 4 polls of 10, run the same way as last time. Next is round 3, where the top 3 from the last polls will be taken for a total of 12 albums. These 12 will be divided into 2 polls of 6, run in the same fashion as the rest. Then for the finals, the top 2 will be taken and put into a poll of 4. This poll will last 3 days and will decided the final order.

The albums will then be compiled into the order and be kept secret for awhile. A list of all 100 bands will be posted and we will go through a dibs process to write little paragraph descriptions of the albums. These paragraphs will be published with the list.

To recap.
Nominate 15 albums
Most nominated albums will make it to top 100

Top 4 of each will make up 40
40 divided into 4 polls of 10

List of all 100 bands published for blurb writing (blurb writing may take place during polls to save some time)
Blurbs and list published for all to enjoy.


Now onto the Polls!

[Henrik]

Awesome, good job.

[TakeWarning]

Nice job Nick.

Some of those polls are mighty hard.

[Microwave meals & ideals]

Poll I is insanely hard. So many great albums.

[Misfit_Fiend]

This will be a fight to the death

[Flagjacket]

Poll 1 is insaneley unfair.

[AIRIC]

Yepp. Poll 1 is awful.

This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between posts. Please try again in 7 seconds.

[Danger Bird]

I like how the Bad Brains are in poll "I".

Good band.

[Brain Toad]

Stop your bitching. No matter where I put FFFRV it would smash the rest of the albums.

[Flagjacket]

I was going to make a post about that exact same thing.

[Danger Bird]

Is it really fair to count Minor Threat's complete discography as an album?

[DaveToopes]

Yes.

[Brain Toad]

Is it really fair to count Minor Threat's complete discography as an album?

It was nominated. Minor Threat technically have no albums (Out of Step while technically an album was considered a "really long 12" EP" by the band), so the Discography was allowed to be nominated.

[Danger Bird]

Yeah, I guess it's the only way Minor Threat can really be represented, even if it kind of gives them an edge (pun).

[Brain Toad]

Not really, if you put Out of Step vs other albums, it would still hold it's own fairly well, except more people have heard Complete Discog then Out of Step.

[TakeWarning]

I am quite surprised (disgusted) that Above The City didn't get into this.

[TakeWarning]

I am also disgusted that Never Mind The Bollocks beat out Latterman and Kid Dynamite.

For shame.

[Henrik]

I cannot believe that both Propagandhi Todays empire tommorows ashes, and The specials s/t aren't through in the competition.
They were both very high on the list last time, Teta was #5 or something.

[Henrik]

Oh, and I just discovered that Absurd Ditties is on it's way out too.

[sketchyjoe]

The top 4 from a poll has too little leeway for tough polls. Last time I did it top 4 and 10 highest others went through. The way Nick's done it, you get situations where Walk Among Us could beat Static Age despite the fact it got a lot less votes.

And eliminating an album which is obviously popular by a flick of a coin is retarded.

[Henrik]

Yeah about the bouncing souls cd, I thing we should have had a separate voting between the two albums.

[sketchyjoe]

Tiebreak polls are needed.

[TakeWarning]

And eliminating an album which is obviously popular by a flick of a coin is retarded.
I concur.

Nick, let's do a tiebreaker.

[Brain Toad]

I didn't do one because people aren't voting, those last polls were closed an entire day early because no one gave a **** anymore, most of them were on the second page.

EDIT:

The rules of how I'd be running were up since the Nominations, you had all that time to suggest I was doing it wrong instead of waiting until we're on the last poll then bitching about it.

[Pint of stella]

I can't believe how badly the Clash are doing. It is a disgrace. They are the best punk band of all time and their albums are doing poorly here. I hate Refused and propaghandi

[AIRIC]

The Clash really aren't that good... I mean, sure they influenced an entire scene , but honestly they're awful.

[Pint of stella]

I hope your joking.

[Flagjacket]

No,t he Clash just aren't that good.

[Brain Toad]

I agree with Eric. Sure their influence was great, but their music wasn't that fantastic.

[Pint of stella]

Come on. London Calling had great musical quality.

[Danger Bird]

The Clash are still one of the best punk bands ever.

[DaveToopes]

The Clash are still one of the best punk bands ever.

Truth.

[Ghostfire3]

I must admit that I personally enjoy The Clash's music. But there are a lot of bad songs to go with the good ones.

[tom79]

I agree with Eric. Sure their influence was great, but their music wasn't that fantastic.
I strongly disagree, but its just opinion though.

[sketchyjoe]

London Calling is a fantastic album whichever way you look at it. They made a lot of average stuff though.

[TakeWarning]

I don't like London Calling that much, I'd rather listen to their Greatest Hits or whatever it was.

[Substitute]

I agree with Eric. Sure their influence was great, but their music wasn't that fantastic.

It matters what Clash material you've listened to. If you've listened to pretty much everything and you say it sucks, than I guess that's just your opinion. But if you haven't, you should before you make up your mind.

[Brain Toad]

I have, and their Self Titled is their only good album, the rest is crap.

[Danger Bird]

I have, and their Self Titled is their only good album, the rest is crap.
YOU SHUT YOUR FILTHY MOUTH...uh, sir.

[Brain Toad]
