Keep flaming to a minimum and try to keep formatting consistent.

Happy voting!

I don't understand why there are so many rounds. It seems like overkill. Why isn't that just the top 10? I doubt the order changes much, if at all, with another round of voting.

 

[End of Glory]

1. Kreator - Pleasure To Kill
2. Slayer - Reign In Blood
3. Slayer - Hell Awaits
4. Exodus - Bonded By Blood
5. Metallica - Master of Puppets
6. Metallica - Kill 'Em All
7. Coroner - No More Color
8. Metallica - Ride the Lightning
9. Sepultura - Beneath the Remains
10. Megadeth - Rust In Peace

Yeah this is very boring top 10...

 

[The Ozzman]

I don't understand why there are so many rounds.

Because you touch yourself at night.


There are people who actually change the order each round, so I think it's material enough to warrant multiple threads. If you don't like it, don't vote.

It's like in statistics. You don't just run one regression analysis or monte carlo simulation. You run multiple to get more accurate results.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

I expect there will be little to no change, but we'll see.

1. Slayer - Reign in Blood
2. Megadeth - Rust in Peace
3. Metallica - Ride the Lightning
4. Metallica - Master of Puppets
5. Slayer - Hell Awaits
6. Metallica - Kill Em All
7. Coroner - No Color
8. Kreator - Pleasure to Kill
9. Sepultura - Beneath the Remains
10. Exodus - Bounded by Blood

I don't understand why there are so many rounds. It seems like overkill.

I'm leaning towards threadwhoring.

 

[The Ozzman]

Well it's certainly getting the forums more active. If you have a better method I'm all ears guys.

I guarantee when I do the black metal portion, no one is going to complain about the thread count.

If I could split a single thread into sections I would be doing that instead.

[TechnicalBarbarity]

How the fuck did Bonded by blood beat out some of the other albums like SNM and end up in the top 10? Did anyone even have that album in their top 5?

I hope you used my last list(with the correct brackets). The only reason i even decided to include Hell Awaits in my list was due to the fact that i couldn't get myself to give more than a single point to BBB.

1) Megadeth - Rust in Peace
2) Slayer - Reign in Blood
3) Metallica - Ride the Lightning
4) Slayer - Hell Awaits
5) Sepultura - Beneath the Remains
6) Kreator - Pleasure to Kill
7) Metallica - Kill em All

10) Exodus - Bonded by Blood

Yeah I think leaving it at 20 is fine. We'd have the Top 20 thrash albums in order. If anyone wanted a top 10, just look at the top 10 of those 20. Doesn't matter the order really.. just listen to all 10 if you haven't yet.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Aside from the Sepultura, all great albums even if Metallica and Slayer making up half the list is a bit eh.

Did anyone even have that album in their top 5?

^^^Is this your most overrated list or actual top 10?

 

[The Ozzman]

EDIT: Am I suppose to pick from only those listed?

There was a thread I did a few weeks ago to get this started. The rounds progressed and everyone voted on these as the top 10.

Nice to see you come back, though.

1. Megadeth - Rust In Peace
2. Metallica - Master of Puppets
3. Metallica - Ride the Lightning
4. Coroner - No More Color
5. Metallica - Kill 'Em All
6. Slayer - Reign In Blood
7. Kreator - Pleasure To Kill
8. Exodus - Bonded By Blood
9. Sepultura - Beneath the Remains
10. Slayer - Hell Awaits

Yeah I think leaving it at 20 is fine. We'd have the Top 20 thrash albums in order. If anyone wanted a top 10, just look at the top 10 of those 20. Doesn't matter the order really.. just listen to all 10 if you haven't yet.

Stopping at 10 would be better than that because there's so much variation in the prelimimary thread that it's hard to really determine if that shows a true top 20.

I'm still waiting for others to offer suggestions on how to change it.

If y'all want to stop at 10, then I'm fine with that. Keep in mind no one has done this in the 8 years I've been on this board so we can't really go off of anything else in terms of how to do the rounds.
