#1 Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced ?
I expected to be triggered into a rant. All in good fun though. I hold onto my red neck roots as much as...well most but not all.dflea said:
I knew this was going to tip chuck over.chuck said:I've ever listened to Jimi while banging a drunk chick in the blackberry brambles at a HS keggar, or while some hillbillie beats up a stranger at same party for looking at his girlfriend wrong or because of the rumor about him being gay. I've never listened to Jimi while watching Bill Bob run his jacked up chevy through the swamp. Never listened to Jimi while riding shotgun in my buddies jackes up "yoda" and shooting road signs and street lights out the window with a 22...
Ah...the memories. Good times.
This is still the easiest vote of this thing so far though. Not even close. Fuck me. You dorks are going to make me hate ACDC. They're fun. Kinda cute really...
The swamping reference was a fun night. Four of us drunks in a full size blazer, stuck in a 3' deep, stinking swamp under the power lines. We had about 150' of cable and someone showed up who could pull us out. We blared ACDC while slogging through the mud trying to hook it up. Problem was that the power lines were actually transmitting through the cable and shocking the living shit out of us...loud pops and sparks and everything. We all gave up except for the driver who kept at it for at least an hour, blurrting out a loud FUCK! every few seconds as another surge of electricity went through the cable.
I actually like ACDC quite a bit, but the memories and associations I have with them are all funny, small town shenanigan shit like that. -

Sounds like a great reason for Back In Black to run away with this thing. -
Nevermind and Master of Puppets are both better than Back in Black so I'm tempted to revenge vote for Jimi.

#2 AC DC - Back in BlackWell, @swaye called it. Black in Black up at half time with a comfortable lead.
I was thinking about this earlier today. In spite of my strong affinity for both LPs, none is really in my top 20 personal favorites. It's interesting to me what it takes of a group or album to win one of these cluster fucks. Broad based appeal is so critical. I think Exile on Main Street destroys either of these records, but really only @89ute agrees with me. -

And yes, broad based appeal is key. Master of Puppets didn't win for a reason. -
#1 Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced ?The wrong guys are winning. Not a fair or valid pole.

#2 AC DC - Back in BlackYella raises a fair point...I did a little research ('cause I'm bored), and found that I own 35 of the LPs in the tourney. I also found that I own one or more songs (LP/CD/digitally) off of 75% of the albums listed. The way we listen has changed so much, at least for me. It has been probably 15 years since I bought an LP/CD. Most of the long form music I have, my favorite cuts are not (or ever have been) in radio rotation. Zep IV is a favorite, but I would listen to Four Sticks or Misty Mountain Hop waaaay before Stairway. Same with Floyd...I will turn the channel when I hear Money, but I love the rest of the album. I now can hear a song in passing, look it up, download it, and never hear the rest of the album, eliminating a lot of great deep cuts, which for me defines an LP's greatness. Which is why I was clueless for the most part from about '98 onward.
