Top 10 2000-2009

[Mort Divine]

Dead Congregation is certainly a good band, a great band, whatever, but they even more certainly do not sum up the decade or should be included as one of the best albums of the past decade. If anything Deathspell Omega, Sunn 0))), Nadja, Jesu, Earth, Jesu, Leviathan, Peste Noire, and Blut Aus Nord did actually forward thinking things in metal music. Dead Congregation could not have impressed everyone that much. Why does the Wire not have a forum?

You're such a hipster.

 

[Eligos]

You're such a pedophile.

 

[(((0)))]

You're such a hipster.

From a metal music fan: yes. From anyone else: no. Look at all my favorite bands outside metal and you see they are generally considered pretty outsider, thus not in fashion, thus I am not such a hipster.

 

[Lateralus14]

Eh, it just depends if you're into straight quality extreme metal over the more progressive/unique bands or not. DsO and BAN are two of my favorite metal bands so they dominated the decade for me, but Graves of the Archangels still earned a spot towards the end for being my favorite modern death metal album.

Only hipsters say their music is out of fashion to look appeal to other hipsters, thus making you a hipster.

 

[Eligos]

Jesu's loves you too

 

[Xorv]

EVERYONE HERE IS A HIPSTER NOW QUIT FUCKING TYPING.

No.

 

[mutantllama]

Denying being a hipster makes you even more of a hipster.

Man...there is so many I can't make up a list.

I'd have so many choices that I wouldn't be able to just choose ten

but if any album that hits the number 1 spot.

It's

Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side

 

[Eligos]

So I'm listening to Back to Times of Splendor. It definitely belongs in the lists.

 

[Xorv]

you don't just listen to, Back To Times of Splendor. You experience it.

 

[Eligos]

So true. I'm glad you put as much time into your post as you did.
