psst... Top Secret.
Dutch Broadcasting Company VPRO set up a poll for 300 of the best albums all time. And... VISION THING is in it.
http://3voor12.vpro.nl/3voor12/poll/ind ... s=28166508
That's all. Mark The Sisters' Vision Thing and we'll see where it ends in this Top Album 300 List. Go kids, go!!! What
we will see if VT ends up higher than the president.
But be warned. This Poll only counts from Saturday! So don't do it earlier...

Vision Thing is good, yes.
Maybe not quite the "Gift from God and his angels" that Von likes to think it is, but a stonking good rock 'n' roll LP all the same, and a thunderously enjoyable experience in a HM bar at 2 in the morning with umpteen pints of cider hammering through ya.

Vision thing rocks.
But I'm not going to vote either. They picked Kate Bush's first over The dreaming and Hounds of love !!!
That's just sick !
They also picked The Cure's 17 seconds over Pornography and Disintegration. I'm not going to support such nonsense.

And New Order's Republic over Technique.
Next thing they'll be promoting Nyarthatolep action figures over Cthulhu soft toys

oh well... i just thought... maybe something for history... i just read something about it in the paper.
Excuse ME for promoting Sisters here :-(
The list was compiled by many journalists, who the f**k cares.
Next time i'll ask you to vote for Bryan Adams, ok!?

Vision Thing kicks ass!!
How can anybody dislike Ribbons, When You Don't See Me, Something Fast, Detonation Boulevard, Dr Jeep, I Was Wrong and More?
There isn't a duff track on the album IMHO.

Calm down there little buckaroo we know you meant well.
It's just that the thread degenerated into people expressing their opinions.
Which can get ugly at times.
Umm, Brian Adams & Von...
a duet...Cuts like a Rock and a Hard Place.

Ignoring the Vision thing debate.There is some top albums on this poll,Much more interesting than the usual Westlife v Will young s**t we get in Britain.
Can,Roxy,Underworld,Capt.Beefheart,Motorhead and Zappa
.Top stuff.You don't see them on "Q" s polls do you?
It must be all that "Shkunk" they shmoke in Holland
.And the poncakesh.
@ 9 while 9
Thing is The Neph did carry Von's Jock and ran with it.And used a vacuum pump to make it bigger and better!

Very easily I'm afraid(apart from more).Ijust play "Floodland" or "First and last and always" or "Some girls wander by mistake".
Then I realise what a crock "Vision thing" is.
No offence,people but I really hate it!

Hey - I'll vote for it! But then I'd vote for I Am Rock by Zodiac Mindwarp. And Dawnrazor.
I must say, I rushed back all the way from Nottingham to Peterborough with the More 12", dying to put it on my turntable, and it was one of the most disappointing experiences ever. Rather like Brain Drain by the Ramones. And Impurity by New Model Army. And Razors Edge by AC/DC. 1990 wasn't shaping up into a good year, despite my almost continual intoxication.
When VT was released, it gave me a good deal more inspiration. Dr Jeep (so much more damaged and screaming than the 12" version), When You don't See Me (ok, not the most original, but listen to the bass in the quieter moments) Detonation Boulevard (I was a great fan of the Nemesis story in 200AD, so anything mentioning Torquemada was good for me) and I Was Wrong, not to mention VT, was good for me.
So yes, a shock to the system. But, ultimately, a good one. It's got my vote.

More than made up for by the B-side I hope.

More's a good song. I Was Wrong is a very good song, and Something Fast is quite good. Vision Thing has its time and place. Detonation, WYDSM, Doctor Jeep I can live without. But Ribbons...
Ribbons...
Is the sound of the heavens splitting open. Come on!

I would like to vote but please explain what means keuze 1 2 3 4 5
Posted: 12 May 2006, 14:50
by dinky daisy
Keuze means Choice. So you have choice 1, 2, etc.
No. 1 has the most points. So if you rate VT no. 1, it'll end up high.

Incredible b-side. I don't know why they don't play it live.
