The Top 5 List Thread

[CiG]

My post was more motivated by the countless other asinine opinions you've expressed lately.

I don't care very much for any of their albums other than the First Daze Here anthology.

Hmmm. Who to side with...

Top 5 Grand Magus songs

1. Draksådd
2. Hammer of the North
3. Like the Oar Strikes the Water
4. Valhalla Rising / Mountains Be My Throne
5. Triumph and Power

Getting in on this. Awesome list by the way! The fact that a track from The Hunt is your number 1 pick (or if not in order, it's in your top 5) makes me really want to hurry up and buy that shit.

5 favourite Grand Magus songs, in order:

• Silver Into Steel
• I, Jury
• Kingslayer
• On Hooves Of Gold
• Northern Star

Ironic considering Day Of Reckoning is their shortest and it happens to be my favourite.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Same fam. Shorter albums are usually the best. Many of the best albums seem to hover right around 47 +/- 1 minutes though.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Not directly related to album length, but I've always felt the ideal number of tracks on a full-length was 5. In the Court, Watching From a Distance, Saint Vitus, Mirage, etc. Less than 5 and the songs start to feel less like songs and more like suites.

 

[CiG]

Never paid much attention to amount of tracks, years of listening to grindcore will do that to you.

 

[Krow]

I dont get much out of most grindcore when they blow through songs in 0:32. I guess I have a few exceptions like Frozen Corpse Stuffed With Dope but that shit is just insanity.

 

[CiG]

I'm a fan of Meatshits, Nekro Drunkz, Anal Blast, Laserguys, Endwarfment, who aren't exactly the 100 track album types, but they're also not the less than 10 types either.

Scum has 28 tracks.

I'll have to think about NES songs, I have an autistic list of vidya soundtracks from various platforms but haven't picked out too many specific songs.

1. Mega Man 2

3. Little Nemo: The Dream Master
4. Solar Jetman

Holy shit, I just saw your list. Silver Into Steel is really your fav GM song? I mean it's a good song, but your picks number 2 and 3 are much better. Well, after seeing them live my list is slightly altered it would be like this for me:

1. Mountains Be My Throne
2. Hammer of the North
3. Kingslayer
4. Varangian
5. Iron Will / Like the Oar Strikes the Water

 

[The Ozzman]

3. Counterparts

Sup fam? Underrated album but one I would choose as representative of the progression of Rush's sound over the years.

Not surprising, you and I rarely see eye-to-eye on music. For example, Hammer Of The North is a fine enough album, but to have two tracks from it dominating the upper tier of your list is questionable to me. That album is mega cheese, rather entry level. Good tunes, but empty.
