RC essential albums - based on the bands we picked

[JayKeeley]

Here's the list of bands that received 15+ votes:

Agalloch
Bathory
Burzum
Destroyer 666
Drudkh
Empyrium
Enslaved
Hammers of Misfortune
Moonsorrow
Opeth
Primordial
Ulver
Negura Bunget

It's really simple from here on out. Simply respond with YOUR opinion on which album best personifies the band, or rather, their quintessential release. It obviously goes without saying that only responses from RC regulars will be acknowledged.

The idea of this thread is to create a list of which albums we (RC audience) deem to be essential. Try not to use the thread to complain about which band did or did not make it. You can use the other threads for that.

We'll tally the results in a couple of days.

Carry on!

By the way, if you're not familiar with the band's catalog, simply don't vote for that band. Let's not try to skew the results.

dude seriously, i don't get that trend. keyboards are awesome for atmosphere but are more effective when a little buried. also i figured you would choose the bastard, glad to see that's not the case.

Ulver - nattens madrigal

hårdcöre.

 

[JayKeeley]

also i figured you would choose the bastard, glad to see that's not the case.

It's a personal fave, both 10/10....so difficult to choose, but TAE prolly has to be the "quintessential" doesn't it?

By the way, I would just like to have it noted that I voted for Bathory as an RC Essential band. Though I'd rather trim my pubic hair with a weed-wacker then listen to Quorthon sing, I recognize their status on the forum.
