Man, a list like this for me would change from day to day. So i'll not even try.

However I will submit this list. About a year ago I set out to make a list of my 100 favorite albums of all times, all types of music not just metal. I've been working on it slowly and really thinking about each addition so I've only got about 30 or so albums listed so far. Some of my favorite bands won't make the list because they have not put out "one of the best albums ever", even though overall I love them. And some bands will make it just because they released that one special killer album, even if they went onto suck afterwards. Anyway, here is that list. Feel free to give me shit about it, I'm sure there is alot of stuff on it that you guys will hate. :D

As I find it very difficult to name my 30 favourite bands/artists, I decided to resort to statistics (here are at least some I can trust!) by writing down a list of those bands/artists I´ve been listening to most since 1988 (the year I started keeping track of how often I listen to my albums), so here´s the top 30 of this list:

1. Fear Of God
2. Kate Bush
3. Atrox
4. Kari Rueslåtten
5. Tori Amos
6. Kari Bremnes
7. Fates Warning
8. Voivod
9. The Third And The Mortal
10. Dead Can Dance
11. Nightwish
12. Anacrusis
13. Coroner
14. Le Mystère Des Voix Bulgares/The Bulgarian Voices "Angelite"
15. Psychotic Waltz
16. The Gathering
17. Sieges Even
18. Chastain
19. Candlemass
20. Garmarna
21. Faith No More
22. Två Fisk Och En Fläsk
23. Toxik
24. Dreams Of Sanity
25. Jingo De Lunch
26. Hexenhaus
27. Dream Theater
28. Détente
29. Helstar
30. Primus

I have to add that the list above also includes some bands to whom I haven´t listened for years, and the ranking of my current favourite bands/artists would look different in some places. Furthermore, if I had started my statistics a few years earlier, Metallica, Helloween, Megadeth and maybe also Anthrax and Testament would have made it into this Top 30 (Metallica maybe even into the Top 3, thanks to "Ride The Lightning").
