[The Dude]

Dammit I just posted mine in the outro thread.

Anyway 'Through Blood by Thunder' and 'Blood and Iron' also float my boat.

Dimmu - Unorthodox Manifesto. The marching, gunfire and chants of 'hail satan' are cheesy enough, but the "gentlemen.....DESTROY!" just caps it off, and I don't know whether to piss myself laughing or pump my fist in a metal-induce rage.

Pink Floyd - Echoes
Pink Floyd - Sheep
King Crimson - Starless.
