I endlessly hype records based on the following criteria:
- How many Pitchfork points listening to them will get me.
- How obscure I perceive them to be.
- How many bands I can name drop while hyping them.
- Obligatory unrelated Interpol reference.
I always refer to albums as records because it makes me sound more sophisticated and trendy.
I don't name drop ever
For the first time i agree with you. The first three bands are great.
1.Interpol
2.The Beatles
3.Darkthrone
4.Abhoth(swedish death!)
5.Obituary

This is a joke. Thrash is the 80's not 2000's.

Not one comment on Abhoth? A real pity.
Abhoth were one of the first bands in the Sweden scene so i am pretty sure that they had a big influence on future bands in the scene.
Considering Interpol is my favorite band I dont think that I drop random names to sound intelligent or distinguished. Considering I drop there name a bit to much. I doubt you can catch times that I drop a lot of random bands that are unknown for the sake of being distinguished. Furze being one, and the only reason I got into them is because Blue Wizard was looking into him and I had only heard a but from him.
I stand my ground that Abhoth has some amount of importance on the Swed scene just like a few little bands had importance in the Black Metal scene. Just go read some interviews with Fenriz. Is anyone into Abhoth btw?

Abhoth is excellent considering I almost never listen to OSDM.
