Rock Album Survivor

JGuy Grungeman · 01-16-2016, 09:06 PM

Excuse me, but how can this be a rock album survivor if the third highest selling rock album in the world isn't on? This thread has been about importance. Plenty of discussions on this thread have been about how much more important one album is compared to others. Importance is not irrelevant. And I already apologized for my rude behavior. But if you want me to be rude, I'll be happy to do so. If you don't want me to be rude, then zip it. You don't have to get worked up after I just apologized for my behavior, or is the only reason you're saying it that way to be the ass you are so glad to be, being proud of you're trollish tendencies?

That discussion is over. Trollheart has stated he's done arguing, and I've stated that we should leave both on and take another album off. ANd not to be pretentious, but I have contributed eight lists here, so I'd like just one choice on what album stays. I'm not saying I'm more improtant than anyone here. I doubt I'm allowed to post my music in a sig (I don't have any recorded music, anyway). But Technic's been very easygoing about switching albums around, and I was quite a bit agitated when I shouldn't have been. However, you were just being rude to me right after I apologized. That doesn't make me the bad guy here when you were just trying to be. I want one album on. One album shouldn't garner that reaction from you as much as it should've made me agitated. I admitted my flaws, so Batlord, back off.

Now can I please, freakin' talk about something else? I'd like to see a screamo one here. I just found today I like screamo, but I have next to nothing on it. All I know is "The Moon Is a Dead World."

And when it comes time to vote, people are going to vote for the album they like better, so what's the point of putting up an album they probably won't like as much? Why not just include the album that's gonna stand the better chance of winning in the first place? If other albums before this one have been included because of historical importance then they shouldn't have been.

I could give a **** about you being rude, but as someone who's been running a survivor thread for a year it's annoying to see someone feel entitled in such a childish manner. Over one freakin' album. If I were running this thread I'd have been strongly tempted to have thrown it out just for spite.

Journey yes but Boston are liked by loads of people that can't stand AOR, so using them as an 'I like AOR reference' doesn't count. Now when you start to get all hot and excited over a Toto album then I'll think of you as a AOR bro.

Especially when the album is a Meat Loaf one. Not much of a Meat Loaf fan but Bat probably does deserve to be in a cat and rock opera is the best, as the whole album is like a parody of one.

Oops, just realized that Cap'n Jazz is on the post-hardcore list too. Trade out Cap'n Jazz for Get Up Kid's Four Minute Mile on Emo when you can, Tech.

Simmer down, buds.

JGuy Grungeman · 01-17-2016, 07:31 AM

Alright, how about this? Is this more appeasing?
1. Pink Floyd - The Wall
2. Jeff Wayne - Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds
3. Bat Out of Hell
4. The Who - Quadrophenia
5. David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
6. Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down Broadway
7. Spock's Beard - Snow
8. Alice Cooper - Welcome to My Nightmare
9. The Pretty Things - S. F. Sorrow
10. Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage

If anyone has a complaint about Welcome to My Nightmare not being a real rock opera, I'll replace it with Last Temptation. And if people want Quadrophenia replaced, I'll let you guys decide on that. I could go either or.

Jesus ****ing christ.

Um, okay, I'm gonna sort some **** out. For now, all you need to know is that Bat Out of Hell is on the Arena Rock list now. Stop freaking the **** out, guys. Nobody post ****, just wait a bit while I sort everything out.

TechnicLePanther · 01-17-2016, 07:46 AM

Okay,

1. Screamo is up.
2. Cap'n Jazz was swapped out.
3. Stop saying "cats", you're going to make me insane.
4. BOOH can go on Rock Opera, Queen will go on Arena Rock. Be happy.
5. List time! Updating the OP with a "To-Do List". Seems like it will be more organized than scattering everything around here.
6. I put JGuy's Rock Opera up. I'll consider any possible changes, but I really just want to be done with it at this point. The only exception is that Spock's Beard is off and 2112 is on. Don't argue, just ****ing deal with it.

I just noticed that Fontanelle is on Grunge and Riot Grrrl. On grunge, let's replace Fontanelle with Above by Mad Season.
