Classic Albums

[zabu of nΩd]

Yeah, I figured as much.

 

[The Ozzman]

I've listened to about a tenth of the albums on that list

 

[CF87]

yeah I don't give a fuck what you consider essential death metal listening(a major flying fuck),

We don't fucking give a fuck.

(dream theatre sucks)

 

[The Ozzman]

What?

 

[zabu of nΩd]

That'll teach me.

 

[Addo_Of_Nex]

I've listened to about a tenth of the albums on that list

Get around to listening to the other nine tenths. All of them are of the highest quality.

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

80s
Trad Metal

...

Judas Priest - Hell Bent For Leather

That's from the 70's, btw.

 

[King Richard]

This thread seems to be one big clusterfuck.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

This thread seems to be one big clusterfuck.

Ever seen a thread trying to compile things from multiple genres into one list that wasn't?

 

[Hallucinations]

That's from the 70's, btw.

embarrassing.....

Anyway

Unquestionable Presence - Atheist
Focus - Cynic
The Erosion of Sanity - Gorguts
Pierced From Within - Suffocation
Spiritual Healing - Death
Mortal Throne of Nazarene - Incantation
Dawn of Possession - Immolation

 

[Dem0n0id]

I think the country/region idea should be ditched.
Just state the genre and the albums/band below it.

Also, i don't think you should ask the public in general to give suggestions and edit the original post.
Just pm ppl who already know about it and try not to post too many albums of the same band...unless they all are excellent.
Just keep a separate suggestion thread maybe. That way, the main thread will be clean.
This is all assuming someone will take up the initiative.

 

[byrne]

At the Gates - The Red in the Sky is Ours
Slayer - Show No Mercy
Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality

done.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I don't think there are 50 death metal albums that are all absolutely essential. Good maybe, but not essential. Actually, that goes for all genres. I don't think there are 50 absolutely essential albums of any genre, 20 at most.

If we went with 50+ albums per genre like that, we'd have a really badass list that no one will ever listen through in it's entirety. Masterpieces like Unquestionable Presence will be lost among hosts of albums that got everything right but are terribly generic to anyone but a real death metal fan.
Such a list will be of no assistance to a metal newbie.

 

[The Ozzman]

Thrash:
Toxik - Think This
Flotsam and Jetsam - Doomsday for the Deceiver
Sepultura - Beneath The Remains
Exhorder - Slaughter in the Vatican

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Yeah, perhaps we should do this genre by genre. I'll list my favourite thrash albums aswell.

Toxik - Think This
Voivod - Killing Technology, Dimension Hatröss

...That's it, not really into thrash.

 

[The Ozzman]

I only listed 4 because I got lazy

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I listen to more thrash than just that, but I really don't find most of it essential.

 

[Carcassian]

This list seems unworkable. If it was to work, there would have to be stricter rules on compilation, a thread per genre and a moderator to stop each thread getting crapped up with "yes it is / no it isn't!" type arguments.

Short version: It won't work, sorry.
