Obviously make sure to hit up RYM yourself and search your favourite genres.

The deadline is 21st of August 2018.

The rules:
- submit at least 5 releases.
- first place in your rankings gets 10 points, 2nd gets 9, etcetc, 10th gets 1.
- feel free to post more than 10, but only the top 10 will get points.
- feel free to post less than 10, the same scoring will apply.
- feel free not to rank your picks, in which case all ten picks will get 5.5 points.

GNMD = General Non-Metal Discussion, so NO METAL ALBUMS are to be included in anybody's list.

A shitton of canonical non-metal stuff I've never listened to. For the longest time I thought REM was a hip-hop act on the basis of Automatic for the People's album title.

 

[The Ozzman]

1) Alice in Chains - Dirt

Probably the worst album I've heard from him

It was one of my first non-Metallica/Megadeth CDs so there's a lot of nostalgic appeal. I do prefer Flying in a Blue Dream, at least.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

1. The Magnetic Fields - The Wayward Bus
2. The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde
3. Nurse With Wound - Thunder Perfect Mind
4. Gang Starr - Daily Operation
5. Stereolab - Peng!
6. The Dead C - Harsh 70s Reality
7. Junior Kimbrough & The Soul Blues Boys - All Night Long
8. Th Faith Healers - Lido
9. Ganksta N-I-P - The South Park Psycho

only 1 or 2 of these would crack the top ten if metal was included. possibly the best year for osdm

[Burkhard]

I assume that the deadline mentioned in the initial post is meant to be 21st September 2018.

Not much of interest for me from this year. At least I managed to come up with the minimum number required to participate. Hadn't listened to most of them for years (in some cases even decades), but after revisiting them, I noticed some where better than I remembered them.

1. Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes
2. Ketil Bjørnstad/Erik Hillestad - Messe for en såret jord
3. Hedningarna - kaksi!
4. The Bulgarian State Female Choir - Mystères
5. Qntal - I

 

[Slammed]

1. Screaming Jets – Tear Of Thought
2. Paul Kelly and the Messengers - Hidden Things
3. KISS – Revenge
4. Hunters & Collectors – Cut
5. Brian May - Back to the Light
6. Roxette – Tourism
7. Ugly Kid Joe - America's Least Wanted
8. L7 - Bricks Are Heavy
9. The 12th Man - Still the 12th Man
10. Rollins Band - The End of Silence

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

so are we counting Dirt or not?

 

[no country for old wainds]

i'm planning to do this one

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

10. Rollins Band - The End of Silence

Oh yeah. The only reason I didn't include it was I've always thought it was basically metal. It's pretty fuckin heavy. Same with Dirt.

 

[Slammed]

What I saw listed it as punk so I listed it anyway.
Same as the L7 album, I've seen it listed as hard rock and metal.
In the end I figured fuck it, it's not like my choices every make much of a dent in the top 10, if one of them doesn't get counted I'd never know anyway.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i think it's pretty clear that Dirt is a metal album but i'll definitely throw a vote that way if were going to include it here.

 

[The Ozzman]

i think it's pretty clear that Dirt is a metal album but i'll definitely throw a vote that way if were going to include it here.

I mean, it's fine if it is considered a metal album for this poll. I would just throw in Screaming Trees in its place

2 - Stone Temple Pilots - Core
3 - Djivan Gasparyan - I Will Not Be Sad in This World
