I can do yearly lists, but top ten for the decade...I simply can't touch that terrain. I'd be kicking myself a thousand times over for 'mistakes'. Hell, even my top 10 of 2010 list has changed since I initially wrote it up.

Now that's a nice list. I would've added Edge Of Sanity and David Gilmour to mine for sure if it wasn't limited to 10 damnit.

Nice list Downandunder, I approve. I like everything you listed.

Thanks man, I saw your list and noticed Celtic Frost's "Monotheist". How the hell could I forget that? I even have the CD sitting right next to me.

I also didn't put any of My Dying Bride's work in my list. I love "The Light at the End of the World". Arrgh!! So much good music in the world.

Now that's a nice list. I would've added Edge Of Sanity and David Gilmour to mine for sure if it wasn't limited to 10 damnit.

Thanks! And I probably would have added Death Magnetic from your list if I could go to 11 or 12.
