TIME TO ROCK

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the first of our occasional special guest polls - in this case awesomewells was caught not in possession of a paid account, and wanted to canvas the views of the assembled poptimists on the subject of ROCK.

But how to define rock? He naturally chose The Best Rock Album In The World...Ever, which surely by Trades Description science collects together only the finest examples of ROCK, which will be submitted to Any Good At All science.

How rock are poptimists? LET'S FIND OUT!


[Poll #769482]


NB this album came out in 1994 which is why it does not have LORDI et al. on it.

Tom I predict you will love my 'mashola' of 'Are You Gonna Go My Way' and Chaka Demus & Pliers 'Tease Me' on impending Ultramix 93.

Or maybe not.

Whom, might I ask, is Python Lee Jackson anyway?

[juror8.livejournal.com]

Skynyrd > all other bands ever. We should really rename the internet the Skynyrdnet in tribute.

[juror8.livejournal.com]

One of Rod the Mod's early bands.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

What a lot of ticks!

I am not convinced that all of these are rock though.

[juror8.livejournal.com]

Are they not "rock" or are they not "rocking", Tom?

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

it is a comedy supergroup of Eric Idle, Stewart Lee and holiday camp favourite Englebert Jackson m'lud.

i kind of want to tick Stiltskin. i rather liked it at the time. (hangs head)

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I dunno if they're rocking or not, I think some of them may be 'blues' or 'indie' or 'pop' though.

[juror8.livejournal.com]

There's a really good Stiltskin/No Diggity mash-up around the internet somewhere.

also

there is still time for boshed up SILVER MACHINE 06.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

no...just, no...

[ruudboy.livejournal.com]

eg The Kinks.

Was Meat Loaf in a NOW poll at some point? When I started typing him the auto complete popped his name up, and I can only imagine ever having typed him in anywhere as being the worst artist in a long list of them.

I am rather disturbed by how many of these I actually like. I now feel rather ill.

Also, today I cannot spell Zeppelin. Also II: there is no Whitesnake (as endorsed by R.Badger).

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I think this poll proves that ROCK is GRATE.

[miss-newham.livejournal.com]

Actually I rather like ALL these songs (except the couple I havent heard), but it seems wrong to tick absolutely everything.

[juror8.livejournal.com]

No The Badger, no credibility.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Apart from one single, sole exception, this poll is entirely awful and I also feel ill because it is SO INDIE.

[juror8.livejournal.com]

This may be the least indie album ever assembled!

[the-roofdog.livejournal.com]

I suspect I'm in the wrong place to moan about the lack of ticky for Muddy Waters...

It is the rockriff that all rock is based on!

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Rock = boys with guitars = indie = GHASTLY, ALL OF IT, SANS EXCEPTION, WORST MUSIC EVER, STOP LISTENING TO IT, THIS WAY BADNESS LIES, COME BACK TO THE LAND OF R&B DIVAS AND POP POPPETS :(((((((((

[mippy.livejournal.com]

Well, exactly. Look at Amstrad's share prices, for a start.

(Wit disclaimer: I actually know nothing about The Markets.)

Rock is GRATE! I bought a Crosby Stills and Nash album the other day, JUST TO MAKE THAT VERY POINT!

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

but it is so OLD and WRINKLY i cannot remember how it goes
