Best Debut Albums: Final Round: Final Poll
 

Alright, we're down to the last 5. Heres what happens, all five of these albums get recognized and are ranked according to how many votes they got. (most votes = first, least = fifth, etc)

I vote for the Smiths.

I had to go with Hendrix, as much as I love every one of those albums. Fire Purple Haze, Foxey Lady, Are You Experienced, Manic Depression, Hey Joe...

Definitely Slanted and Enchanted, such an amazing album.

Funeral. it's almost level...

Poor VU+Nico...

Hendrix.

*pumpsfist*

Yes, Hendrix is winning!

I'm gonna have to vote Hendrix.

Oh yah! Best posthumous album would be an interesting poll as well.

Awww, I missed out on the original votes to get down to a final 5. I've gone for Funeral out of that lot, though.

I'm listening to Funeral right now.
Just to see what the fuss is about.
The only other album I know little about in this final poll is Slanted and Enchanted.

Arcade Fire? Am I impressed?

Not really...it's not providing me with anything I've not heard before.

It's not worthy of being alongside the likes of Are You Experienced, The Smiths or VU & Nico...IMO.

I think the big thing with Arcade Fire is the energy that comes across when you listen to Funeral. The tunes are good, of course, but there's something extra. I think so, anyway. I would...

So, who did you vote for?

No one yet.

i dunno lol ¯\(º_o)/¯

Granted, this is a first listen. Even so I'm not feeling this "energy".
For a debut album it seems musically accomplished enough, but it lacks the obvious impact I'd expect from a contender for best debut album ever.
It certainly doesn't compare to a whole list of albums I could conjure up off the top of my head that failed to make the final poll.

I'm struggling to choose between the three choices I mentioned earlier.

Hendrix! You know you wanna'!

haha...class. :)

Yeah I have to agree, Funeral is probably the worst album on the poll.

The impact and influence of VU tears me away from Hendrix.

:eek:

Should I bother voting?

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Not if you don't vote for Hendrix!

OK voted...it's in the blood. *shrugs*

:pimp:
I'm suprised you don't like Funeral. I love all those albums meself.

I'm not disliking it. I just don't think it's a particularly brilliant album by comparison.

The bottom line. VU influenced art in music. Hendrix influenced freedom and raw talent. The choice is yours.

Yah, the weakest of the lot. I would replace it with ITCOTCK, and replace
Pavement with The Clash.

You chose the correct album right-track, Morrissey would be proud.

hendrix all the way!

Jimmy it is

Right lets see......

Arcade Fire "Funeral"
Decent enough , best ever debut album? not a chance

Jimi Hendrix "Are You Experienced?"
Probably deserves to be here when you consider it's impact. One of the more worthy albums on the list

Pavement "Slanted and Enchanted"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Sorry but it's going to take more than a bunch of rehashed Fall riffs to impress me.

Smiths, The "The Smiths"
Another one worthy of being on here & I probably listen to it more than any other on the list

Velvet Underground, The "Velvet Underground & Nico"
Groundbreaking , innovative , radical ... but I still think it's sh*t.

Smiths for me I think.

<33333333333333YES

some more people need to vote for teh smithzorz.



they're losing :(

Mod votes count as 3.

New rule.

As poll starter, I think my votes should count for 6.

ok johnny

for you <4
