Calculate how metal you are using your fav album per year

[Bloopy]

For each year from 1970 up to last year, list your fav metal album released that year + your fav non-metal album from the same year, and pick the better of the two. Then calculate the % of years where metal won the head to head battle to get your score.

For example, picks bolded here would mean a score of 50% metal so far:

'70: Black Sabbath – Paranoid .......... Miles Davis – Bitches Brew
'71: Black Sabbath – Master of Reality .......... Led Zeppelin – IV
'72: Deep Purple – Machine Head .......... Wishbone Ash – Argus
'73: Budgie – Never Turn Your Back on a Friend .......... Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the Moon

...and on it goes. Might be best to put such long lists in spoiler tags (or not).

Usual blah blah about using some of your own discretion to figure out which side borderline albums should go on.

i am 53% metal. a few pretty desperate picks here where i didn't have much choice lol, really need to dive deeper into some of these years. probably missed one or two favourites as well.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Damn, I was thinking of doing one decade at a time and here you do the whole damn thing in one post. Surprised you picked the solidly average Jericho Sirens as your non-metal aoty for '18, has it grown on you a lot or was it just a really weak year for you?

 

[SonOfNun]

100% Metal. Boom. Done.

 

[Slammed]

Got to 2000 through previous polls and then I had to start thinking so I gave up, but it was about 50/50 for the first 30 years.

the latter. that's not the only album i've rated 3.5 or lower that i had to list. it's not necessarily that the years are weak though, just that i've barely heard anything from them.

Great band ... never seen them mentioned around here before! High is my favourite Aussie punk album ever, despite (or perhaps because of) sounding completely british.

 

[Bloopy]

The albums with metal as secondary on RYM I counted as metal are Mournin', Rocka Rolla & Bandolier, as doing the reverse would seem more odd. The first & last tracks of Bandolier are metal but I reckon I Can't See My Feelings is up there as well. Still viewing Impeckable as significantly less than half metal though.

I should add 0.1% for the septal occluder in my heart. Now I've remembered the iron content in bone marrow and blood - all humans are heavy metal as fuck to the core.

Metal: 25

Metal gets a huge bump from the past 10 years, because I really haven't been listening to a lot of modern non-metal.

That Deafheaven album is that good you're saying? I might check that out then...

Sunbather is excellent. The best blackgaze album ever IMO. Ordinary Corrupt love is more so the best album in a relatively weak year. However, it has some phenomenal songs like "Honeycomb" and "Canary Yellow." I gave Sunbather a 97/100 and OCL a 93/100.
