I fucking love Doctor Sleep... would like to say you're wrong, but I haven't seen 2-4... got work to do.

Top 5 fav metal songs from 1989:

1. Autopsy - "Ridden with Disease"
2. Voivod - "The Unknown Knows"
3. X Japan - "Rose of Pain"
4. Blind Guardian - "Banish from Sanctuary"
5. Sarcófago - "Nightmare"

Maybe a hot take RE "Nightmare" but it's not often a band re-records a song from their first album and actually improves upon it. Only other band that comes to mind is Dark Angel.

Same deal as Megadeth in 1990, Autopsy's "Disembowel" would go in here too if I didn't limit myself to 1 song per band.

Would be cool if they made a tv series about the True Knot and their history.

2010 on the other hand was garbage.

Surprised that Uncle Boonmee isn't in your 2010 list, although maybe I'm misremembering how big a fan you were.

I might join you guys and do all these years, but for now my 2010 would be:


5. Some Dogs Bite (d. Marc Munden)


4. Red Hill (d. Patrick Hughes)


3. Universal Soldier: Regeneration (d. John Hyams)


2. Tony (d. Gerard Johnson)


1. Outrage (d. Takeshi Kitano)

I love Kitano's whole Outrage Trilogy but the first will always be special to me.
