    I prefer the original, too. Which is a weird thing to say, because I'm supposed to prefer more extreme stuff to trad metal.

    Also I had to read "Melody by Iron Maiden" before it clicked. Dunno if that says more about me or about the song.

    40k is the perfect source material for metal lyrics and yet there really isn't that much 40k-themed metal out there.

    Re: Run to the Hills, to be honest, it's one of my least favorite Maiden songs. The intro riff is meh at best, and there's basically one other riff in the entire song. Sure, the chorus is good, but if I liked songs based just on how catchy the chorus is, I probably wouldn't be into metal, would I? Not that songs with catchy choruses (chori?) are bad, mind you. I'll sing along to Operation: Mindcrime or some Blind Guardian any day, but those at least have some substance to the song, not just a catchy hook.


    Also, those are the most frostbitten garden gnomes I've ever seen. Which is saying a lot, considering most gnomes around here spend months in -40 C weather. Still not as frosty though

    Alright, the time has come. For those of you who haven't been here long enough, there is a time-honored tradition of someone randomly deciding to post a list of their top ten albums, and asking everyone to follow suit. After about a page of nobody reading anyone else's lists because they're too worried about their own, we feel like we've accomplished something, and move on to better and brighter things. Congratulations, you're about to have a 'once-in-a-metal-thread experience!'

    Alright here are my top ten metal albums. They are not ranked, just listed by date, because to be honest, the ranking is different depending on how I feel that day. That said, the first one is my favorite album of all time. When you make your list, you're encouraged to link songs from the albums, and you can have a short honorable mentions list.



    And just a few honorable mentions:

    Pharaoh - Be Gone (oh god did I want to put this one in...)
    Kreator - Coma of Souls
    Dio - Holy Diver
    Destruction - The Antichrist
    Venom - Black Metal
    Amon Amarth - Once sent from the Golden Hall
    Manilla Road - The Deluge
    Virgin Steele - House of Atreus (act 1)

    We should tally these up after a good number of posts on the topic to see the general consensus on greatest albums and bands on this thread (excluding the honorable mentions of course). So far at the top of the most commonly voted for, I see three votes for Paranoid specifically, and three for various Iron Maiden albums.

    Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain (2006)
    Bathory - Hammerheart (1990)
    Bethlehem - Mein Weg (2004)
    Blind Guardian - Imaginations From the Other Side (1995)
    Enslaved - Below the Lights (2003)
    Nagelfar - Hünengrab im Herbst (1997)
    Neurosis - The Eye of Every Storm (2004)
    Opeth - Blackwater Park (2001)
    Orphaned Land - Mabool: The Story of the Three Sons of Seven (2004)
    Peccatum - Lost in Reverie (2004)


    Honorable Mentions:
    Anacrusis - Screams and Whispers (1993)
    Shining - V - Halmstad (2007)
    Tiamat - Wildhoney (1994)
    Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (1988)

    So I've basically stopped listening to metal because listening to metal means I'm not listening to experimental or harsh electronic music, but here's my list anyway. Only full length albums chosen, only one artist per thingy:

    Kamelot - The Black Halo
    Tiamat - Wildhoney
    Acid Bath - When the Kite String Pops
    Disillusion - Back to Times of Splendor
    Darkthrone - Panzerfaust
    Deathspell Omega - Fas - Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum
    Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
    Panopticon - On the Subject of Mortality
    Peste Noire - Folk**** Folie
    Velvet Cacoon - Genevieve

    Runners up to follow. Possibly also explanations as to why I chose each album/the runners up. I just have to leave soon. Derp.

    Well, this is in no order, and I dunno if I can completely narrow it down to ten absolute favourite albums, so I'll just spit out ten of my favourite albums.

    Suffocation - Pierced From Within

    Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss (was a tough choice between this and Show No Mercy...)

    Black Sabbath - Master of Reality...I don't really need to post a link to any of the songs, do I? It's some sort of mandatory rule for every metalhead to know them note for note, right?

    Carcass - Necroticism

    Deicide - Legion

    Napalm Death - Utilitarian

    Motörhead - Overkill

    Phobia - Get Up and Kill

    Nuclear Death - Bride of Insect

    Kreator - Pleasure To Kill

    Also, Napalm Death and Municipal Waste touring nearby in November. I'm not sure I can properly encapsulate the sheer enthusiasm and desire--nay, need--to go at any costs. I've never seen Napalm Death live before, which just isn't acceptable.

    I don't even know, I listen to way too much metal in a variety of genres so this is as of the 25th of August 2012. In no particular order of course.

    Nahvalr-Nahvalr
    Shining-Halmsted
    Sui Caerde-Threne
    Peste Noir-L'Ordure a l'etat Pur
    Xasthur-Gate through Bloodstained Mirrors
    Immortal-Sons of Northern Darkness
    Darkthrone-Blaze in the Northern Sky
    Pensees Nocturnes-Vacuum
    Coldworld-Melancholie
    Silencer-Death, pierce me
    Mutiilation-Vampires of Black Imperial Blood

    Honorable mentions
    Celtic Frost-Monotheist
    Watain-Lawless Darkness
    Dark Funeral-Attera Totus Sanctus
    Marduk-Opus Nocturne
    Gojira-Way of all flesh

    Of course, after saying I listen to way to much metal in a variety of genres, most of my favorites are black metal. Way to go me, way to go.
