Lots of Multiple Nominations this time

Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath each had a staggering 5 albums with nominations & Pink Floyd, Queen, Judas Preist, The Ramones and Thin Lizzy each had 3 albums with nominations.

It's interesting to note that Steven Tyler won the 70's Frontman Survivor but Aerosmith had but 1 single nomination for the 70's Album Survivor...weird Undecided

Haha, I wanted to nominate Aerosmith, but they didn't really have a definitive album compared to those offered by other groups of the era.

As for the list, where's Aqualung?  Jethro Tull is awesome!

Yeah Jethro tull was big back then and is a great band but I think aqualung might have been late 1968 or 1969. What about Deep Purple, Lynyrd Skynyrd,  AC/DC, ZZ Top ,Black Oak Arkansas, and The Rolling Stones.

Anything with 4 votes or more made it thru.....


these albums each had three:

AC/DC - Highway To Hell
Deep Purple - Machine Head
Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
The Ramones - Rocket To Russia
The Ramones - The Ramones

another interesting note so far.....

2000's had 144 albums nominated
1990's had 102 albums nominated
1980's had   86 albums nominated
1970's had   73 albums nominated

People know less about 70's music than from the other decades. Look at how many bands got 3 albums nominated. It's as if people only know about 4 or 5 70's bands, so they have to put in extra albums. Granted, I was tempted to include Judas Priest's album Stained Class, but decided at the end that it wasn't necessary.

I've been trying to fight ignorance, but my Sir Lord Baltimore thread got I think 4 views before it disappeared. People here are really scared of learning about new bands, let alone the classics they missed!  Tongue

I can't believe nobody nominated Aerosmith's Rocks or even Aerosmith. Guess there aren't much Aerosmith fans around here.  no

It would have been 74 but I was on vacation and didnt have access to all my CD's
Would have been:
The Who - Who's Next
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps
Aerosmith - Toys In The Attic
Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run

Ah shit I was gonna vote Aqualung but I thought no one on here liked Tull so I thought it'd be a wasted vote, had I of known there was other Tull fans I would have nominated it.

This is a message board for a very popular rock n' roll band... You might have better luck at a prog forum, for example.

I think most people vote off the albums they haven't heard first.... So I think everyone needs to go buy a copy of London Calling right now and change their votes.  rant

I've heard all the albums on the list and it's the one I like the worst... well second worst... Sex Pistols was worse.  London Calling is a good album, but I'm not a huge fan of The Clash's music, and I don't like the album as much as the others on the list.

Sir Lord Baltimore, PROG!?!!  rofl It's somewhat trippy and very much 60's hippie inspired, but it's dark like the Doors. It's not hugely progressive like Rush, Camel, or King Crimson, but it has a few prog moments. It's bluesy, heavy rock music with nice bass tone and great production. Makes me wish I could play bass.

If you like Led Zeppelin (and you do, unless you suck  Wink), you would like Sir Lord Baltimore. LZ gets plenty of mention here, so I'd think SLB would be appreciated. Granted, it wasn't a 70's pick for me, but it's top 20 material. This is still a great place for classic rock, but I'm surprised how few people know about this band.

Nah, you missed my point. It doesn't matter what genre it is, you still might have better luck at a prog forum. Just for the reason people are way much more open to new music, and get into new bands more frequently, in those places.

Maybe. On the other hand, they have a tendency to value guitar wankery and double-bass blasturbation more than songwriting skills. Of course, "songwriter" type music is usually very simple, with few differences in structure and composition. I just need a middle ground. Axl is like that. He makes a lot of simple rock and a lot of weird stuff, but he does both well, usually. I'm ignoring My World. Wink

Also, Sir Lord Baltimore did get a bit proggy with their second album, which I just listened to today. The first is better.
