yay! another postin'/boredom/namedropping thread. metal or non-metal doesn't matter btw.


something like this for me:

Anathema - Empty
Blackfield - 1.000 People
Katatonia - Chrome
Katatonia - Dispossession
Katatonia - Right Into The Bliss
Katatonia - The Future of Speech
Mourning Beloveth - Narcissistic Funeral
Nevermore - The Learning
Nile - Sacrifice Unto Sebek
Porcupine Tree - Trains

a serious lack of Death Metal here compared to my overall tastes but whatever
 
I guess mine would be something like that, of course, aside from a few songs, it changes depending on mood. I'm also going to stick to metal to make things easy:

Agalloch - You Were But A Ghost In My Arms
Bathory - Enter The Eternal Fire
Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
Blind Guardian - Time What Is Time
Blind Guardian - Valhalla
Emperor - Ye Entrancemperium
Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness
Nevermore - No More Will
Primordial - The Coffin Ships
Reverend Bizzare - Doom Over The World
 
not quite happy doing this. well, after a few minutes of thinking i gave up. named five songs that are definitely in tho ... generally i am more into listening to albums than songs ... that means that there are albums that feel like they have to have a top ten song but i could never choose out of those songs to be particularly awesome

joanna newsom - emily
pink floyd - echoes
opeth - the amen corner
the beatles - a day in the life
alban berg - dem andenken eines engels (not exactly a song but who cares)
 
*sigh*

Primordial - Coffin Ships
Graveland - Sons of Fire and Steel
Nevermore - Death of Passion
Edge of Sanity - Crimson (its one song!)
Opeth - The Night And The Silent Water
Drudkh - Summoning The Rain
Emperor - Into The Infinity Of Thoughts
Negura Bunget - Cunoaşterea Tăcută
Hate Forest - Track 1 from Battlefields :D
Bathory - One Rode To Asa Bay

Probably inaccurate, and very much subject to change.
 
the whole album is fucking brilliant, i just find Cunoaşterea Tăcută (gotta love CTL+V) to be the most atmospheric and emotional piece on there.

When the clean vocals come in at about 2:30. holy shits.
 
Mercyful Fate- Satan's Fall
King Diamond- Black Horsemen
Green Carnation- LOD, DOD
Helstar- Winds Of War
Alcemist- Tide In, Mind Out
Fates Warning- Fata Morgana
Sacrifice- Truth (After The Rain)
Death- Crystal Mountain
Tomorrow's Eve- The Eve Suite
Melechesh- Triangular Tattvic Fire
 
Not possible for me. I have one all time favorite album, and then the rest are just mixed up into the top 200.
 
Mercyful Fate - Satan's Fall
Nevermore - The Learning
Megadeth - Good Mourning/Black Friday
Mercyful Fate - Desecration of Souls
Megadeth - Looking Down the Cross
Megadeth - Holy Wars
Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Sanctuary - Veil of Disguise
Iron Maiden - The Trooper

These are all-time, not just current favorites. If it was a "right-now" list, it would look a lot different.
 
No particular order, but this about covers it.

Kiss - The Oath
Metallica - One
Alice in Chains - Would?
Nevermore - This Sacrament
Faith No More - Epic
Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness
Devin Townsend - Deadhead
Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song
Pantera - The Sleep
Kiss - Tears Are Falling
 
Yeah this'll probably be very different in a few weeks.

Virgin Steele - Life Among the Ruins
King Diamond - The Family Ghost
Judas Priest - Exciter
Judas Priest - Victim of Changes
Mercyful Fate - Come to the Sabbath
Vio-Lence - Phobophobia
Blind Guardian - Time Stands Still
Megadeth - Tornado of Souls
Bathory - Shores in Flames
Manilla Road - Crystal Logic
 
All Shall Perish - Wage Slaves
All Shall Perish - Theres no business to be done on a dead planet
All Shall Perish - Day Of Justice
All Shall Perish - The Last Relapse
The Secret - Fire Isn't Always Meant To Burn
Darkest Hour - Doomsayer
Wintersun - Winter Madness
Death - The Philosopher
Carcass - Heartwork
Spawn Of Possession - Church Of Deviance
