[Thanatopsis123]

Good to see The Gathering on somebody's list.

 

[J.]

ive never heard of 75% of that list.

what? you prejudiced against black metal? racist

 

[Demilich]

wow, somebody actually did like that Disillusion album!

 

[JayKeeley]

wow, somebody actually did like that Disillusion album!

Some of the UM guys had it in their top 10 lists.

Man, I've exhausted myself on listening to stuff throughout '06 and even I haven't heard of 75% of the bands in that list!!

 

[Reign in Acai]

I'm overwhelmed with the amount of music that I own that I have yet given a first listen to. I'm guessing there's 30 cd's stacked waiting to get their spin in the sun.

 

[jimbobhickville]

A lot of people liked that Disillusion. I know several that put it in their top 5. It helps not having heard the previous one, but now I'd like to since a lot of people say it's a lot better.

I haven't heard 75% of what the folks here put in their lists, either, so yeah. Lots of music out there. Not everything on that list is metal, but most of it is.

 

[jimbobhickville]

I forgot Katatonia somehow. It should be #60 or so.

@dill:

Sure, but be forewarned, they changed their style drastically, and I think I'm the only one who likes it (at least, that I know). I'll send it tonight or tomorrow and PM you the link.

@circus:
Wow, surprised to see someone here share that much in common with me.

 

[Novembers Paul]

Are any of you guys into Ajattara? I think Apare came out in 2006.

 

[Captain Beard]

Yes, I liked it.
