[LuminousAether]

So far, we've seen a lot of pedestrian and typical lists. There are a lot of metalheads without taste.

Here we go:

Solefald - CK II Chanel No 6
Arcturus - The Throne of Tragedy
Fleurety - My Resurrection in Eternal Hate
My Dying Bride - The Return of the Beautiful
Anathema - A Dying Wish
November's Doom - For Every Leaf that Falls (original ep version)
...and Oceans - Necromechanic Tripper
Dodheimsgard - Traces of Reality
The Kovenant - In the Name of the Future
Red Harvest - Absolut Dunkel-Heit
Pitchshifter - Product Placement
KorovaKill - Drown Symphony
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Sleep is Wrong
Maudlin of the Well - The Birth Pains of Astral Projection
Maudlin of the Well - Stones of October's Sobbing
Agalloch - She Painted the Skyline with Fire

 

[Erik]

There are a lot of metalheads without taste.
...
The Kovenant - In the Name of the Future

Yes.



Can't really complain about most of the rest... Although the song (possibly second greatest song ever) is called "She Painted Fire Across The Skyline."

 

[Erik]

Oh, and my latest mix CD looked like this:

1. unanimated - at dawn/whispering shadows
2. in flames - upon an oaken throne
3. sculptured - together with the seasons
4. vinterland - wings of sorrow
5. sun of the sleepless - grimme pain
6. empyrium - mourners
7. darkthrone - in honour of thy name
8. tharaphita - tumedate tunnete kutkeis
9. negura bunget - vint da rau pin balea iadului
10. bathory - you don't move me (i don't give a fuck)
11. finntroll - försvinn du som lyser
12. dark tranquillity - beyond enlightenment
13. tormentor - elizabeth bathory
14. sculptured - washing my hands of it

I'm not claiming these are the best songs ever or anything, it's just a CD with a nice mixture of stuff to listen to in my CD walkman.

 

[speed]

I think you ought to rethink your plan- if you havent heard any of these songs- how can they be included in your cd of the top 20 songs? Why dont you make a top 20 of the songs you know- and then try some of these other songs and bands- and make another top 20 cd. Or just retitle the post: if I was to make a cd of the top 20 bands- what would they be.

Im not trying to be an ass or anything- Ive just never heard of anyone making a list of their own favorite songs by asking other people what their fav songs are.

I am a man on a mission, it is my mission to promote artistic qualities over normality. It is also my mission to berate, belittle, and befuddle the opposition with carefully wielded jabs of stupidity and elucidity.

Yeah, I'm the man. I freely admit it.
