Here It Is - The Ultimate Album

[Silent Majority]

Gonna be contrarian and just put in Paranoid instead like the way I put the Black Hawk Down Minstrel Boy on my digital version of Global-A-Go-Go.

Honestly, better song or not, I think the inclusion of Paranoid would make for a more balanced tracklist. Not quite as biased towards late 70s Britpop/New Wave.

And no one except Wally needs a ghost track really.

I'm in two minds, man. I was all about some variety, but cos of the way most of the tracks went, I wonder if it would have felt out of place. I listened to the tracklisting this morning and, great song as it is, Strawberry Fields Forever stuck out like a sore thumb. I was in a shit mood, though, cos the computer had just wiped my side of a podcast after I finished editing it. Though I strongly disagree with 101's opinion that there's any meaningful difference between the HEAVY HEAVY MONSTER SOUND of Black Sabbath and '78 punk, beyond aesthetics.

It certainly bridges Blitzkrieg Bop and Moonage Daydream better.

Most definitely not.

So I never got any of my picks on this album? That's it, I'm not buying it.

I['d have to go back and look, but I don't think I voted for the winning track in over half the votes.

I think 3 for me, Ramones, Wire and SLF, oh and of course Paranoid

Nice work, everyone!

Maybe part of my bias goes back to 1978 / 79 when battle lines were fiercely drawn and protected. BS and Punk clearly on opposite sides. BS were seen in parched on denim waistcoat or jackets of heavy metal fans and punk bands were on pins of leather biker or bondage bikers. Never the 2 shall cross sides.
On a more serious note to me there is a clear difference in sound between the 2 mostly in relation to the guitar and vocal delivery.

See you're bringing teenage prejudices into this 30-40 years later.

As for sound and vocal delivery the same can be said of the Dead Kennedys. East Bay Ray has a very unique guitar sound that is unlike any other guitar in punk, and Jello's singing. I could go on with other examples as well.

In the end you had a vision and I think you are happy with how it played out and that's what matters.

I always thought Cock Sparrer’s vocals were reminiscent of Sabbath.

available on vinyl only ... well since Paranoid by Black Sabbath is the non-album single, what about the b-side? There are plenty of great choices for that, no? The hard fast version of Revolution by the Beatles was a non-album b-side, pretty hard to beat that one.
