[CiG]

Also the inactivity of the site in general will mean way less votes etc. Forum is dying a very slow death.

@CiG how about another random top 10? incoming, notes are being studied

 

[CiG]

Starting to remind me of when they find Spacey's journals in Se7en.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Checking out my list from 2017 and it could use an update. 2009 has been on my mind a bit too...

Virtual fucking IX above so many great albums? Trolling hard.

 

[Cronopio]

It's an underrated classic, man.

 

[Slammed]

I don't know about a classic but I'd definitely rate it mid top 10 if I could be fucked redoing my top 10 for 1998

 

[CiG]

I rest my case.

 

[Slammed]

You say that like your case actually has some merit.

 

[CiG]

 

[Slammed]

When all is said and done I have no choice but to submit to your rested case. I am after all the person who was told at the start of the thread that a vote for a live album was a wasted vote. I can only thank god that I saw the light and didn't waste my vote on Iron Maiden, no matter how good it is!

 

[Bloopy]

I'm just relieved Stratovarius is above Virtual XI.

 

[Cronopio]

Yeah, and I will stand by my opinion that "Lavdate Dominvm" is one of the best songs Helloween ever released. More bands should sing the Lord's praise in Latin!
