On the one hand, I thought "Hey, cool, let's redo the 40 years of metal/Sabbath tribute thread since the other one got glutted with shit" and on the other I thought "It's pretty fucking annoying how you feel it's necessary to post 34680394860982347 album covers in one post."

 

[-CC-]

In order to post a thread of such epic proportions, one must obviously dilate time..and well he is the dude for the job!

 

[Belligerent]

After all, he's the Time Dilation Dude!

 

[VelociBrad]

Hard Prog? what the fuck. God some of these choices make me shake my head.

 

[ZosKiaCvltvs]

Nightwish? Really?

 

[mutantllama]

Up the to late 80s, he was doing good.

 

[VelociBrad]

Was fine until he had to put Rush on there.

 

[metal_wrath]

Commemorative List Fail.
