I really love the Understones s/t album and have purchased it multiple times. I first found it at a used record store as a teenager. Unfortunately, I brought it to the community college I went to out of high school and it slid behind a concrete bench built into a wall. The bench had a crack between the seat and the wall just wide enough for a record to slide down. I'm sure it's still there today, 25 years later.
I eventually got the CD version that has the bonus tracks(I think live and b-sides of singles or something). I was so blown away by "Emergency Cases" that I listened to that song probably 10 times in a row.
For my money, one of the best punk albums of all time.
Love a good mandolin. Ricky is definitely one of the best.

Hey kids, how's about instead of giving you my top 10 albums from some random year in metal I give you my top 10+ albums from each year since my early teens all the way up to the present day in a mix of genres? It'll be mostly metal of course because that's what I mostly listen to, but there will be some other things mixed in here and there as well.
Wasn't sure quite where to post this monster but after poking around the site a bit I think this thread seems like the most logical place to me. I initially tried hard to keep this to just 10 albums for each year. There were a few of the 70's years that I couldn't even come up with 10 albums. But by the 1980's I was managing to do 10 per year pretty well for awhile. But when I got up to the late 2000's and especially into the 2010's I couldn't even pretend to pull that off so I finally just said "fuck it" and threw caution to the wind as I often do and just let my list fly as it stood. I have forced myself to edit several of the recent years down to 20 when they went over because you have to draw the line somewhere. But I'll be saving this list to refer back to and I want to make sure I get all my favorites on here.
I'm sure many of you will disagree with my choices thinking that I've left out some truly essential shit or maybe you'll think I've included some questionable selections but I really make these kinds of comprehensive lists more for myself than for anyone else. I'm sure I'll be kicking myself after I've posted this because I'll realize I've left off some important favorites and I'll come back and edit them in but for now I think I've covered most of them. There are some albums and bands that I really love that do not appear on this list that I think are better than some others that are on this list, but I was really putting things up against what else was released that same year. So in other words sometimes a band's 2nd or 3rd best album can be one of the best from one year while maybe what I consider to be their best album might not have made the cut the year it was released, it all depends. Some bands I love didn't even make the list at all because they were active in years with too much competition. Also I'm judging these albums by how I feel about them now, not necessarily how I might have felt about them when they were released.
I do one of these epic 30 or 40 year lists every few years because I find it fascinating how my tastes have changed so much over the years little by little and it's cool to see how my lists have filled out as I've continued to discover more bands and albums from years gone by. As much as I keep myself primarily focused on the current calendar year and the last few years I do also discover lots of great older stuff that I'd somehow missed in my travels. If I would have made this list 10 years ago or even 5 years ago I'm sure it would look a bit different. Just as I'm sure it will look somewhat different when I make it again in another 5 or 10 years. I might come back at some point and take individual years and drill down into them to go into more detail about some of the albums and what they mean to me but for now just compiling the list was enough of a project. Anyway without further ado, here it is, I began with 1975, 8th grade, the year I turned 14, because I believe that's right about when collecting music became the most important thing in my life:

What I think a lot of people may not realize is that extreme metal as a whole, which basically began 40 years ago with the birth of 80's thrash was the combination of traditional early 80's heavy metal, Black Sabbath, Motorhead and early 80's punk, which while not metal was still the original "extreme" music. There would be no thrash metal and therefore no black or death metal as we know it if not for punk. The first wave of black metal and thrash bands of the 80's were all heavily influenced by punk and especially by the aggression of hardcore punk. Death metal sprung directly from thrash so all death metal has been influenced by punk. Second wave black metal grew out of the first wave and thrash so all black metal has been influenced by punk. Even currently with the proliferation of some of these less punky and more atmospheric or progressive or technical black and death bands, if it's still death or black enough to count as legit death or black metal then it has still been influenced by punk.
