Metal Hammer's top 50 and a little fun!

[Fire breath]

Here is Metal Hammer's top 50 albums of 2011 in reverse order. Now to find out who is the progpower board's coolest metal trend follower, I've set up a little table to find out each person's score. There are two categories. Have you heard the album first and second do you like it. Score 1 if you've heard the album and another point if you liked it. So max is 100 and min zero obviously. Just a bit of fun and answer truthfully.

80-100 - You are a trendy ass false metaller!
60-79 - You need to listen to something other than what MH tells you!
40-59 - One foot firmly in trendland, watch your step buddy!
26-39 - You have a decent, up to date taste but careful cause you are flirting with falsehood!
0-25 - Get out of the 80s you fucking progpower pussy!

I scored 25! (heard 15, like 10) I really need to watch my step but I'm pretty much an 80s pussy with a tiny eye on what's new in metal!

[Justin G]

Too funny. I scored a 12. I must have missed Metal Hammer's top 50 AOR albums list.

 

[Pelata]

Haha...I got 4 points.

I heard and liked Opeth & Foo Fighters...

 

[Fire breath]

haha 4 is almost unbeatable Shawn!

 

[Pelata]

haha 4 is almost unbeatable Shawn!

I AM A CHAMPION!!!!

 

[AeonicSlumber]

This is like the least trendy list I've ever seen. I'm almost shocked this even came from Metal Hammer and not Decibel or Metalsucks. Yeah Ken Mode, Yob, and Trap them are totes trendy. I see their swag in Hot Topic all the time. Not that I care about being a "false metaller" or whatever, but I would imagine your game should go the other way around.

I got a 70. Though, I should say that I "liked" many of these records, I didn't "love" many of them.

 

[J. Golden]

I have only heard three of the albums on this list and 2 I have and like (Hammers and Opeth) , the other (Hell)is ok.
I do have the Motorhead and Anvil but have yet to listen to them but pretty sure they will sound like everything else by Motorhead and Anvil.

 

[Osiris' Eyes]

Too funny. I scored a 12. I must have missed Metal Hammer's top 50 AOR albums list.

These MH kids are so fuckin' hip.
