Remember that the point system is the same one that is used for the EOY album poll, one that is weighed heavily towards the top. Meaning that one of two high votes can outrank more votes in the lower spots.
Also consider we outside the top 150 still.

I wouldn't freak out over rankings. I don't think anyone in their right mind would say Sunset Rubdown or Bright Eyes is better than James Brown or Marvin Gaye or Gram Parsons, but that's why this is a favorites list, not a best list.

No, I just thought I wouldn't include them in a "greats" discussion for once.
It's completely silly to get worked up about the rankings in a favorites list that a ton of people are contributing to, but seeing Green Day and Sunset Rubdown above Michael Jackson made my heart sink a little bit. Thankfully, The Doors barely broke the top 200.

Otm. I may have talked about it out here before, but when JB did Taste of Chicago about 10 years back, he pulled out a 12 or 13 minute long version of "It's a Man's Man's World." First, that was a pretty daring move for a free show. Second, it killed. Dude was pretty awesome performer till the day he died.
And he looked great for another 6 months after he died!

Personally, for live music, I don't think it gets much better than the Dead.
Ugh. I saw these guys twice, and halfway through the second show I was wondering why I hadn't learned my lesson at the first. 3 hours of wankery. Jesus, 13 minutes of wandering and eventually finding your way back to a song is not great live music -- it's ADD on stage.
Here's another name to consider when talking about legendary live shows: Bruce Springsteen. The thing about his shows? They never required drugs or stage props to be great.

Where can you find cheap beer at the overblown places he plays these days? That's part of why I don't go to see him anymore. The bigger reason is all the fist pumping fans that only own "Born in the USA."
That said, the shows are still pretty damn great. Hey, Maloney (if you're out there), remember when he blew the lights at Comiskey and ran around 'til he found a flashlight to shine on Clarence during his sax solo? Classic. And Bhickman thought it was a bad show. As much as I love the guy, he never had a clue when it came to music. [/justkiddingbhickieyouknowiloveyoumorethanasammiesbeefsammich;-)]
The thing about Sprngsteen is, on the one hand he and the band have rehearsed EVERYTHING, so when they play/perform, it's as tight as can be; on the other hand, this is all seemless to the audience -- you never know what to expect.

Also consider we outside the top 150 still.
Good to see Go Betweens make it.

There's one I voted for. Oh and Grant Lee Buffalo I think.
Buzzcocks beating out Oasis is refreshing...some faith being restored in the poll, almost.
Oasis beating Supergrass! Well I hope somebody is happy

Hey, I'm glad Swans got some votes.
If it were up to me, Angels of Light would come in higher on the list, but I didn't vote for them, either.

I've been busy moving and starting a new job since the results got going, but I was finally able to get caught up last night. Great thread--well done, Paul.
And this may be the best part:

In case anyone hasn't completely stop caring, this was me. I'll be the first to admit that they aren't particularly original or even overwhelmingly talented--though Kyle Schutt is definitely a solid guitarist, to say the least. But their particular blend of Sabbath homage, thrash, and quasi-literate D&D geekery is pure visceral joy to my ears.

Well fuck the cat, my top three dropped and we didn't even make 175 yet.
Guys: where were you?
I feel sorry for you for a number of reasons.
To be fair mate, the cunt's a cunt.
Oh dear god. Can we please just allow Ent to push everything up a notch and make Rilo Kiley #300? This would be the "true" list, right?
Ent, I give you permission to do this in all future updates.

Ha ha. I'm not in charge of the list though. I just post the recaps for my and others convenience. I don't like having to scroll through 25 pages to remember who's in what place.
Your recapping efforts are appreciated.
It might not be appreciated by some right now. But 3 years from now when they went to look at the top 300 I am sure they will be rejoicing that they don't have to scroll through 200 pages.
everything ent has ever posted is a fuckin recap

According to your status you're here for the fish. Doesn't that mean you should be enjoying the recaps.
And yes I get that your madrox and this is just a new account. If you want to bash people do it somewhere else, like et cetera. That's all that category of the forum is good for anyway.
