Top 25 Albums Of The Decade (fun for everyone)

I've been thinking about it for a while... took me quite a while because I would keep looking at the list and listening to an album and saying to myself "fuck, that album deserves so much more credit", and bumping it up. Or I'd pull out an album not on my list at the time and say "this deserves to be on the list".

I still don't feel 100% about some of the ordering (aside from the top 4), but I'm fairly certain that these are at least the albums.

1. Warning - Watching From A Distance
2. Agalloch - The Mantle
3. Deathspell Omega - Si Monvmentvm Reqvires Circvmspice
4. Slough Feg - Traveller
5. Arghoslent - Hornets of the Pogrom
6. Primordial - To The Nameless Dead
7. Hammers of Misfortune - The Bastard
8. Colonel Claypool's Bucket Of Bernie Brains - The Big Eyeball In The Sky
9. Zero Hour - The Towers of Avarice
10. Taake - ...Doedskvad
11. Symphony X - The Odessey
12. Slough Feg - Down Among The Deadmen
13. Gov't Mule - The Deep End (Vol. 2)
14. Hammers of Misfortune - The August Engine
15. Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
16. Reverend Bizarre - So Long Suckers
17. Oysterhead - The Grand Pecking Order
18. Ancient Rites - Dim Carcosa
19. Rudra - Brahmavidya: Primordial I
20. Nevermore - This Godless Endevour
21. Bob Weir And Ratdog - Evening Moods
22. Negura Bunget - Om
23. Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness
24. Drudkh - Forgotten Legends
25. Nokturnal Mortum - Weltanschauung (Mirovozzrenie)

As always, I'm sure there's something that isn't in the list that I've completely forgotten about... and when that album comes on the cd changer, I'm gonna run straight to the computer to correct the problem.
 
I'm thinking I won't be posting my list until at least the 5th.... This project is much more overwhelming than I originally thought, and I will be internet-less all throughout New Years (and super-hungover I presume). But it's gonna kick ass, believe me. Pinkage shall abound.

every single one of your posts makes my screen glow pink mate

Yeah, I reckon that's sig-worthy....


(BTW I think I'm going to post my list onto my own website (if I started one) or at least plenty of other places other than RC. Anyone have any suggestions? Are there any cheap and easy ways to put your writing on the internet other than forums and GaySpace type shit?)
