155 musicians pick their favorites of 2006 (Mikael and Niklas included)

Nowadays, they're one and the same...

*shrugs* Slayer is over-rated in general, so this doesn't suprise me at all.

Aye! Saw slayer live this year... my god! they had two gigantic inverted crosses, built out of twleve 4x12 marshal cabs... and they still sounded like a sloppy fart. But then I've never been a fan anyway.

One thing that surprised me... Cannibal Corpse are of a similar fame to Slayer, and they too released an album this year. Not many people named it though (did anyone?), the only difference between slayer and CC is every CC album has been totally mint and the new one is unbelievable. CC have a future.
 
Kill is a great album.... indeed I haven't seen many mentions to Cannibal Corpse.

But I'm sure at least one guy mentioned it. Not sure who was it. I've to check the lists again... however, kudos for this one mentioning Cannibal Corpse.

All the winners in this article are overrated... Slayer, Iron Maiden, Celtic Frost, Tool, Lamb Of God... just Motörhead isn't, at least in my point of view.


Especially Christ Illusion.... so fucking overrated
 
just one thing I'd like to add... Niklas' list may sound a bit pretentious, but it seems to be honest. Unlike the lists of Pain Of Salvation's Daniel Gildenlow, for instance.
 
Honestly, I'm surprised by these two lists. They have better taste than I expected... and I agree with Niklas, OM is excellent. :)


Blasphemer (Mayhem)

* Celtic Frost - Monotheist
* My Dying Bride- Line of Deathless Kings
* Drudkh -Blood in our Wells


Pasi Pasanen (Swallow The Sun)

* Tool - 10,000 Days
* Isis - In The Absence Of Truth
* Mastodon - Blood Mountain
* Enslaved - Ruun
 
John J.D. DeServio picked Black Label Society, and so on...

but Testament's Eric Peterson picking My Chemical Romance and the guy from Turisas picking Christina Aguilera.... and Anneke picking Justin Timberlake, those got to be the worst picks on the article...
Do you have to mention about Eric Peterson's pick on almost every thread about this topic on UM and on Kreator's forum? :Smug:
 
My favorite list there is probably from Biomechanical's John K and To-Mera's Julie Kiss. Arch Enemy's Michael Amott's list is pretty good as well.
