Agoraphobic Nosebleed

Divide

Two GBM albums I really enjoy: Serpent Noir - Sanguis XI Insanity Cult - As My End Unfolds Both bands have solid discographies. Sørgelig and Isolert are decent newer bands.

Slaughter

Golf day, so that means Fireball and bourbon with a Pensacola Bay Riptide Amber thrown in for good measure. As a Scot who doesn't like Scotch, I approve. Those are pretty decent.

Ghost Reveries - Opeth

Prison

Noctambulant

Rust in Peace is the greatest technical thrash album of all time. No one could match Dave and Marty's chops then. So much speed and aggression. Dave was best when he was pissed off and strung out. The riffs on that album still blow my mind 30+ years later. The only other thrash album that does that is Coroner's No More Color. I've always been a Megadeth guy, but I'd never argue they were the better of the two. Metallica's body of work for the first 4 is unfuckwithable. What could have been if they kept Dave and got a real drummer....

AC/DC - Back in Black Eternal Champion - The Armor of Ire Sumerlands - s/t

Fuck my alma mater. I graduated undergrad at Florida State 20 years ago and those motherfuckers are still sending me requests for money. Like I paid you already, get lost. I think my total expenditure for undergrad was $1200/semester or around 12 grand total. That's maybe a year or 2 now. Grad school at a state school was 16 grand. Looking at a doctorate but the 32 grand I'm seeing everywhere will definitely keep me from committing. Not sure what I gain with a PhD anyway, but never say never. College is a scam, always has been albeit a necessary one. Back on topic. Since we're going with favorites. I'm going to throw in a few non-metal choices. Joy Division - s/t debut David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars Rush - Moving Pictures Mazzy Star - Among My Swan - I have such a boner for Hope Sandoval. Wipers - Youth of America Massive Attack - Mezzanine Miles Davis - Bitches' Brew Bad Religion - How Could Hell Be Any Worse? Rancid - ...and Out Come the Wolves Beastie Boys - Check Your Head Metal albums I'd throw in the mix Manila Road - Crystal Logic Blood Incantation - Starspawn Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk (although I prefer ITNE) Judas Iscariot - Heaven in Flames Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark Megadeth - Rust in Peace Necrophobic - The Nocturnal Silence

I took it as "favorite albums of all time". That's what these topics always end up being. I'll add G'N'R - Appetite for Destruction. Definitely the best debut for a hard rock band that I was there for. Never topped it with the albums that followed however. Use Your Illusion could have been fairly equal if they would have combined the 2 and had a decent editor. Best song: Rocket Queen
