Why do you have nothing from Dystopia?

Conquer or Die is from Dystopia innit?

 

[The Ozzman]

Conquer or Die is from Dystopia innit?

Shit, you're right. That is not one I would have picked though.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

13 Five Magics

Damn right.

[Master_Yoda77]

I've done this before with several bands, but I take it a different direction. I like to try and cram as many songs and you can fit onto a one CD or LP. Usually just limiting myself to 10-15 songs.

The Obsessed Greatest Hits

1) Tombstone Highway
2) Streetside
3) Brother Blue Steel
4) Freedom
5) To Protect and to Serve
6) Blind Lightning
7) Neatz Brigade
8) Sodden Jackal
9) Hiding Mask
10) Endless Circles
11) The Way She Fly
12) A Touch of Everything
13) River of Soul

Using your rules

1) Tombstone Highway
2) Streetside
3) Brother Blue Steel
4) Punk Crusher
5) Blind Lightning
6) Sodden Jackal
7) Hiding Mask
8) River of Soul

 

[jimmy101]

Shit, you're right. That is not one I would have picked though.

Yeah it was a toss up between that and The Threat is Real.

 

[jimmy101]

Damn right.

Indeed. Five Magics is a veritable tour de force of Megadeth-ness. All of the band members have their moment to shine in that one. Such an awesome journey, gotta be either the 2nd or 3rd best track of RIP.

 

[jimmy101]

First one from me. I'll also go with Slayer since it's the easiest one for doing off the top of my head right now. I've never really listened to Divine Intervention, maybe it's about time I remedied that.

Definitely give it a listen. Best enjoyed after a few shots of your favourite spirit imo.

 

[challenge_everything]

Demilich.

1. The Sixteenth Six-Tooth Son of Fourteen Four-Regional Dimensions (Still Unnamed)
2. The Cry

Ah fuck

 

[jimmy101]

1. Infernal Death
2. Zombie Ritual
3. Leprosy
4. Pull the Plug
5. Living Monstrosity
6. Killing Spree

9. Overactive Imagination
10. The Philosopher
11. Symbolic
12. Zero Tolerance
13. Scavenger of Human Sorrow
14. Spirit Crusher
(bonus track) Voice of the Soul

Man that was tough. I ended up with an even representation from every album, though I didn't set out to do that. There are so many good songs that didn't make the cut here.

I don't make my own compilations out of some weird album-sanctity dogma I should probably stop adhering to. I'm not going to do any compilations for albums that are already excellent and hardly in need of curation (see: the first two Megadeth albums), but for inconsistent albums that could have been turned into something great or even better:

Avant-Living Death:

Schizophrenia
On the 17th Floor

Brave New World
The Legacy (edited down to just the first 5.5 minutes)
Starblind

Lord of Light
The Thin Line Between Love and Hate

Altsam and Jetsam:

Natural Enemies

Perennial Quest (cut a couple minutes off, mostly keeping this one for the solo)

Vektor Sum:

Black Future
Dying World
Forests of Legend
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Tetrastructural Minds
Psychotropia
Recharging the Void
Dark Nebula

 

[jimmy101]

That is an awesome concept HBB. That 90's Death CD would be an absolute banger! I'll give it a crack, what I'll do is combine Slayer's DIM & GHUA to see if I can make a semi-decent 10-track (typical Slayer number) album.

1 Bitter Peace
2 Disciple
3 Death's Head
4 God Send Death
5 Perversions of Pain
6 New Faith
7 Seven Faces
8 In the Name of God
9 Point
10 Wicked

Imagine if this came out in, say, 1999!
