[CiG]

Forgive me O Internet Master with the 700 post per month average, but I think you greatly overestimate how much attention most people give that part of the page.

#4 Siouxsie and The Banshees - The Scream

Nope can't say I have. I haven't heard alot of them at all accually, because I've deemed them not good at all from the stuff I've heard.
So how did they sound back then?

siouxsie and the banshees are A+++

#3 Rush - Hemispheres

@H.P. Lovecraft (unranked)

Agreed. Rush has some great tunes but overall most of it sucks IMO

1. Rush - Hemispheres

That would definitely be mine if I could list a sufficient number of albums from this year. Great record. Best 70s era Rush album.

Damn right.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

I forgot about this. I hope we can do another one after this.

@CASSETTEISGOD Yes, please. Keep it up as it turned out pretty well for this thread. Maybe put it in Social next time so it gets more exposure.

 

[CiG]

Maybe put it in Social next time so it gets more exposure.

Indeed I will. I'll also try to get this thread moved there soon.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Indeed I will. I'll also try to get this thread moved there soon.

By the way, where's 10?

 

[CiG]

By the way, where's 10?

The 6th spot was a tie.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Oh, OK.

#2 Kate Bush - The Kick Inside



Those who voted:

@Omni (#1)
@HamburgerBoy (#3)
@Dazed and Brutal (#3)
@CASSETTEISGOD (#3)

If I could come up with the minimum number of albums to participate, I would most likely put "The Kick Inside" at no. 1.

#1 Devo - Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!

Couldn't really find any quotes on this album, but I'd like to just say that even though I didn't put this as my own #1 album and even though very few people participated in this game, it makes my heart glow like a radioactive potato that D E V O won the first game in my non-metal series.

I have faith that the spud legion would have turned out to help them win even if we had more people playing. Even David Bowie was in awe of their genius.

Dang. I forgot, then I remembered, then I forgot. Then I remembered, and then I forgot again.

#7 Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses

So while I was searching for quotes regarding Heavy Horses it quickly turned into a Ein-themed adventure. If this isn't evidence that he should join this new non-metal game I don't know what would be.

Oh man, this is kind of embarrassing.

Not sure I'd still say that Heavy Horses is my favorite album of all time, but it's a fucking killer record (definitely top five, I'd venture). Shit, I haven't listened to Tull in a long time; gonna get that going this morning.

"Come with me to the winged isle
Northern Father's western child!"

 

[CiG]

Reading your old comments made me really want to listen to some Tull but I don't own Heavy Horses unfortunately!

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Fuck yeah, DEVO at #1, not what I expected but nice to see.
