Top 10 Doom albums

[Rumpole]

You knew it was going to happen.

Preferably separate traditional, stoner, funeral etc from each other, as with Necuratul's thread, the genres are big enough to warrant their own lists (except for drone, because as we all know, it's not doom ).

Trouble – Psalm 9
Candlemass – Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Pentagram – Relentless
Reverend Bizarre – In The Rectory Of The Bizarre Reverend
Warning – Watching From A Distance
Solstice – New Dark Age
The Gates Of Slumber – The Awakening
Mirror of Deception - Mirrorsoil
Minotauri - Minotauri
Saint Vitus - V

 

[Slayed Necros]

I can only manage six, my knowledge in doom is very limited.

Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Warning - Watching From a Distance
Solitude Aeturnus - Into The Depths Of Sorrow
Pentagram - Day of Reckoning
Reverend Bizarre - In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend
Doomsword - Resound the Horn

 

[Vilden]

Haha I thought about making a thread like this too. :-D

My list (changes all the time, depending on my mood):

Reverend Bizarre - In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Solstice - New Dark Age
Scald - Will of the Gods is Great Power
Pentagram - Pentagram
Saint Vitus - Die Healing
Pagan Altar - Volume 1
While Heaven Wept - Of Empires Forlorn
Fall of the Idols - The Womb of the Earth

It pains me to leave out Solitude Aeturnus - Beyond the Crimson Horizon and The Obsessed - Lunar Womb. But sometimes it has to be done.

Other:
Empyrium - A Wintersunset...
Novembers Doom - Of Sculptured Ivy and Stond Flowers
Virgin Black - Requiem - Mezzo Forte
Thorr's Hammer - Dommedagsnatt EP

Uncreation:
(this is no flame) do you really think that those Pantheist or Nortt albums are better then for example Stream From the Heavens or Stormcrowfleet? Didn't think anyone seriously would think that.

Oh well, I'm bored, a list of doomy death metal:

Paradise Lost - Lost Paradise
Thergothon - Stream From the Heavens
Skepticism - Stormcrowfleet
Katatonia - Dance of December Souls
Mourning Beloveth - The Sullen Sulcus
My Dying Bride - As the Flower Withers
Winter - Into Darkness
Unholy - The Second Ring of Power
diSEMBOWELMENT - Transcendence into the Peripheral
Dream Death - Journey Into Mystery

or something like that..

Well, I haven't ever listened to either album, nor either band for that matter. I really need to fix that at some point. Perhaps then they will knock some of the mentioned bands off my list.
