Whats the deal can you vote more than once? Because I'll sit here all day voting if it means The Bends will get to number one.

AC/DC - Back In Black

Pearl Jam - Ten

Radiohead - The Bends

I didn't even have to think about it tbh

I voted for:

No. 3: The Dandy Warhols: Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia.

No. 2: Nirana: In Utero

No. 1: Pixies: Surfer Rosa.

Creature, I prefer both No Code and Yield to Ten. But whatever tickles your pickle.

something is rotten if these gems don't get in....

Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
MBV - Loveless
dEUS - Ideal Crash

On the subject - Pitchforks top 100 of the 90's

saintgaz · 16-12-2003 4:00pm

Some good stuff in the Pitchfork poll, but smacks too much of "let's stick this in, nobody will have heard of it except me" trainspottery.

If you're gonna go all eclectic and look beyond the charts, then one might assume that a poll of the best albums of the 90s wouldn't have missed out on probably THE best album of the 90's - Whipping Boy's Heartworm. Thank Christ I got it on CD and not vinyl - it would have worn away to nothing long ago I've played it so much- and it still sounds as fresh as the first time I heard it. Hopefully a few more people in these here parts won't be so ignorant of this album's brilliance and it'll take it's rightful place amongst the greats.

magpie · 17-12-2003 11:29am

Hmm, just entered 3 records I like. But how can you decide what your all time favourite record is if you own more than 5?

My choices were

1) Dido, Life for Rent
2) Busted, A present for everyone
3) Richie Kavanagh, Aon Focal Eile

BrianD · 17-12-2003 6:05pm

Please note that "Best of "compilations aren't counted as original albums however we will include certain live albums.

DerekD Goldfish · 17-12-2003 7:26pm

saintgaz hearworm got my vote for no1 anyway the others were almost impossible to decide I think I went for at the drive in relationship of command and the clash london calling there were others that narowly missed out such as AC/DC back in black, Television marque moon, dead kennadys plastic surgey disasters, Pixies surfa rosa, neil young on the beach, The bends, Lou reed new york

Well No Code and Yield are both fantastic albums(as is the rest of their material

) but c'mon Ten is the daddy. It just reeks of perfection.

magpie · 17-12-2003 8:08pm

It reeks alright

Kurdt · 18-12-2003 12:11am

yup, reeks of perfection

Well ye could start by not having Busted and Richie Kavanagh as 2 of yer favourite 3 !!!

Off the top of my head I went for
1. Nirvana - Nevermind
2. Pixies - Doolittle
3. Smashing Pumpknis - Siamese Dream

magpie · 18-12-2003 12:55pm

Seems like the Heavy 100 is going to be like a night out in Whelans. The same old ****e again and again and again.

Space Coyote · 18-12-2003 1:24pm

Think yer right there magpie. Great innit !

magpie · 18-12-2003 1:26pm

I'll just get my desert boots and donkey jacket.

acquiescefc · 18-12-2003 7:21pm

I thought this was a 'heavy' 100!! How can you put jeff buckley and dildo in a heavy 100...

wtf

Heavy means guitars plugged in and turned up to 11 does it not. I know there aint no stipulation on what 'heavy' is but come on for fawkes sake. The answers in the question.

Creature · 18-12-2003 7:33pm

I doubt they mean Heavy as in heavy music, its just the top 100 as voted by the listeners. They probably just threw in the "heavy" to make it sound more catchy.

My Name IsJonas · 18-12-2003 9:57pm

Turn have some mention of it being strange that its called heavy and that the top albums won't be heavy on their news page.

magpie · 18-12-2003 10:06pm

They should have called it either

a) The Hairy 100 in honour of the DLT proclivities of the Djs or;
b) The Hoary 100 as it will feature so many old chestnuts

But heavy it ain't. Not even in the hippie sense of the word.

SimonMaher · 18-12-2003 11:50pm

Hello all,

Thanks to the many hundreds who have already voted in their top three albums. Keep going please, the closing date is Sunday December 22nd at Midnight.

Voting is very simple - go to http://www.phantomfm.com/resources/heavy100.htm and enter your top three albums in order of preference. You can vote for any album that has been released ... ever!

And no, it doesnt have to be a "heavy" rock album, you choose the album, and if it gets the votes its in there.

And yes Magpie, albums that are popular with a great deal of people will be prominently featured in this chart. Odd that isnt it? Such a musical snob heehee.

Get voting!

Regards,

Pete Reed

magpie · 19-12-2003 1:35pm

Hoary 100 it is then!

I suspect "The Thoughts of Everlist Davjack" won't be featured prominently then Pete?

BrianD · 19-12-2003 1:44pm

The Heavy 100 - It weighs a tonne ... get it?

magpie · 19-12-2003 1:52pm

That's pretty clever... I bet you came up with that in the bath?
