both rule.

 

[Jude]

My personal top 10 looks a little like this...

Beatles - Sgt. Pepper
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
Bob Dylan - Highway 61
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
Porcupine Tree - Signify
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
Opeth - Still Life (or maybe Morningrise, I'm starting to like it that much)
Robbie Robertson - S/T

not in that order.

 

[The Grim Progeny of the Dusk]

Not often? Why is it that threads like this seem to be posted all the time? Whatever, I'm feeling placid tonight - Doughnut holes have a tendency to effect me in such ways.

My two (or ten) cents:

1) Wintersun - Wintersun

2) Autumn Leaves - As Night Conquers Day

3) Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle-Earth

4) Opeth - Damnation

5) Kalmah - They Will Return

6) Arsis - A Celebration of Guilt

7) Nevermore - Dead Heart. In a Dead World

8) Behemoth - Demigod

9) Dark Tranquility - Damage Done

10) Helloween - The Dark Ride

However, the ten best albums really depend on personal tastes, so I fail to see how this is a logical post.

 

[naboo]

Here's mine (no order):

Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
Immortal - At The Heart of Winter
Ayreon - The Human Equation
Opeth - Morningrise

Metallica - Master of Puppets
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

I limited it to one per band.

NFU
what u think of ARCTURUS and PAIN OF SALVATION

i give arcturus 4/5 stars. and pain of salvation is absolutely horrible.

 

[Ermz]

I've yet to get into Arcturus. I've had some of their material lying around for a while but I've yet to 'get it'. There's been no click.

 

[tynkkr]

I'm kind of surprised I haven't seen any mention of Acid Bath between this thread and the other one that was linked. Along with Opeth, they're the only other metal band I absolutely never get sick of.

Acid Bath - When the Kite String Pops
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Ayreon - The Human Equation
Tool - Lateralus
Blood Red Throne - Affiliated with the Suffering
Bloodbath - Resurrection Through Carnage
Hallucinogen - In Dub

Katatonia - Viva Emptiness
My Dying Bride - The Angel and the Dark River

 

[Confessor of Tragedy]

Cradle of Filth - Cruelty & the Beast
Cradle of Filth - Dusk and her Embrace
Dark Tranquility - Character
TOOL - Undertow
NIN - The Downward Spiral
As I Lay Dying - Shadows are Security

 

[neuroticandroid]

too hard to say (i own something like 1100 cds) but i'll give it a shot:
1. U2 - all
2. Led Zeppelin - all
3. the beatles - all
4. opeth - still life or MAYH
5. dream theater - images and words
6. metallica - ride the lightning
7. sepultura - beneath the remains, arise, chaos ad, roots
8. nine inch nails - the fragile
9. amon amarth - once sent from the golden hall
10. megadeth - any one except cryptic writings and risk
mind you, these are in my collection, and i'm so ashamed i don't own any sabbath, or maiden. i try to keep as eclectic a collection as possible anyway.

 

[bloodlust rampant]
