GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 1998

[The Ozzman]

"I had the first two and Adagio at one time and enjoyed Adagio the most. Generally, I could not get into the band."

Still true

 

[Omni]

btw i just realised i got 10th place wrong so i'm gonna post the actual 10th next lol, sorry inquisition fans. everything else is right.

Wow, I'm crushed.

 

[CiG]

I'm not.

 

[Omni]

Neither am I, really. I'm just surprised that Tom is so bad at this lately.

 

[CiG]

Even angels fuck up every now and then.

 

[Omni]

He's no angel, even though he has probably done more to make this site worth visiting than everyone else combined.

 

[The Ozzman]

Except those threads I did way back when which were basically progenitors of what Tom and cf are doing now except they improved upon what I did. You're welcome everyone.

 

[CiG]

@no country for old wainds is there a main thread where you post all the results of these polls in a comprehensive fashion, similar to HP's Hall of Fame results?

Why not use the search function since it's clearly there for you to find topics you might like and not be a lazy piece of shit?

2) The Chemical Wedding by Bruce Dickinson
Bring me my bow of burning gold...

"The Chemical Wedding is one of the greatest metal albums of all time, and anything by IM after Seventh Son is utter crap in comparison." - @JayKeeley

"I found his take and interpretations of William Blake quite interesting on The Chemical Wedding. Its very cool to see a musical artist take inspiration from canon artists outside of music." - @SculptedCold

"People misunderstand the term "heavy." None of your uses are valid. Heavy is Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus, "The Chemical Wedding" and diSEMBOWELMENT. It is not synonymous with "extreme," "relentless" or "brutal." It is being bludgeoned to death by riffs like an oil tanker loaded with anvils." - @Erik

"So I've listened to The Chemical Wedding just about daily for the past couple weeks, and it's occuring to me that this is an utterly fucking incredible album. Really, a lot of Bruce's solo stuff was pretty lame, and then Accident of Birth came out; that would've been a satisfactory moment of glory. But no, because he's Bruce Bruce, he followed it up with possibly the single heaviest pure metal album of all time." - @Pyrus

"His vocal work on Killing Floor owns me. Jerusalem is a beautiful ballad. The album is pretty much consistent all the way through...yeah, it's pretty damn good." - @Jean-Pierre

"It's a good album, but for fuck sake it's hardly "Powerslave" or "Piece Of Mind". Is there an "Aces High" or "Where Eagles Dare" on any Dicko solo albums? No. His vocals are clearly better on early Maiden works too." - @Stormwatch

"you really think Chemical Wedding is the better album? I mean its great, but better than Accident of Birth?" - @Saparmurat_Niyazov

"This is probably controversial, but The Chemical Wedding is better than basically all of Maiden's albums (judging them as homogenous suites), except for BNW." - @Dak

So link it then you stupid twat.

it's stickied fyi. it's also only half complete though

 

[The Ozzman]

Not an unexpected #1 but still fucking gay.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Damn, my #1 didn't even make the list.

I did use the search function you fat alt-lite homosexual, I came up empty.

Oh okay cheers. Found it now.

Congratulations for making a crappier version of what Tom is now doing and acting like people owe you anything. Here's your trophy.

Yet we owe Tom something for taking a poorly executed thread idea and improving on it? These wouldn't have happened without my idea. I was the first person to do something THAT involved with those lists rather than people just jizzing over lists they post with no real outcome.

Progenitors tend to be crap anyway. Take Venom and Celtic Frost for instance. Highly revered now but their craft has been refined numerous times over by bigger and better bands like Trivium.

This is sig-worthy degrees of pure horseshit.

Also, Black Sabbath and Judas Priest are the progenitors of Venom and Celtic Frost so your theory is double-dogshit. No fucking way does Trivium touch any of those bands.

I'm glad you figured out I was shitposting
