Not too bad...in my opinion, as long as the list has None So Vile, Symbolic/Leprosy, Elvenefris, Nespithe, Slumber of Sullen Eyes, Obscura, Consuming Impulse, and Effigy of the Forgotten, it's pretty much set to be a solid list.

Woah, really? Mercenary over Realm of Chaos, For Victory, or The IVth Crusade?

God damn there were a lot of typos in my list...But yeah, I picked Mercenary...Its a nostalgic favorite of mine. I dont think you can go wrong with ANY of their albums tbh. I agree with Bitencourt, their whole discography is awesome.

^ It shows how great Bolt Thrower is. Ask 10 people what their favourite album is and you'll get a lot of different answers. I've always loved the IVth Crusade. Warmaster would come second. Their discography is awesome.

Yes Sir, you can't go wrong with any of their albums. Just pick any Bolt Thrower album and have a great time. None so Vile is a good album, but it wouldn't make my top 40 DM albums list, I'd certainly mention some others before it.
 
Possessed - Seven Churches
Master - Unreleased 1985 Album
Slaughter - Strappado
Death - Scream Bloody Gore
Pestilence - Maleus Maleficarum and Consuming Impulse
Atheist - Piece of Time and Unquestionable Presence
Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
Carcass - First Three Albums
Repulsion - Horrified
Darkthrone - Demos and Soulside Journey
Deceased - Luck of the Corpse
Massacre - Demos and From Beyond
Necrovore - Divus De Mortuus
Poison - Demos
Sentenced - Shadows of the Past
Nocturnus - The Key

I honestly could not care less about anything else.

I don't see how you can put DoP over Close to a World Below. Also, I don't see how you can put Deicide's S/T over Legion. You forgot None So Vile, also.
:rolleyes:

CtaWB is pretty overrated, i think their first two and Unholy Cult are much better albums.
