Posted by: Scott Gentzen May 19 2007, 06:34 PM

I'll play here too. Not in any particular order...I love them all. Intentionally filtered to only allow one per band.

1. Darkest Days - Stabbing Westward (lots of strong memories associated w/this disc)
2. The Downward Spiral - NIN (hard to pick just one from NIN)
3. ...And Justice for All - Metallica (nuff said)
4. Pork Soda - Primus (simultaneously makes me want to learn bass and makes me fear bass)
5. Antichrist Superstar - Marilyn Manson
6. High Voltage - AC/DC (she's got the Jack!)
7. (Who's Afraid of?) The Art of Noise! - The Art of Noise (can'y help it, I love this stuff)
8. Flex-Able - Steve Vai (my first introduction to Vai)
9. House of GVSB - Girls Against Boys (two bass players!)
10. The Dreaming - Kate Bush (this was a hard choice...I love so much of her music)

Top 10 is tough! Hard to come up with only 10(maybe 100 would be easier ), but here is my best shot. I made this list using only one album from any one band.

10. 'Kill 'em All' - Metallica (Their first was their best.)

9. 'Cause of Death' - Obituary (Best Obituary album has to make the top 10, plus you can't go wrong with James Murphy on lead guitar.)

8. 'Dreams of the Carrion Kind' - Disincarnate (More James Murphy!)

7. 'Sons of Northern Darkness' - Immortal (Had a tough time choosing between this and 'At the Heart of Winter'.)

6. 'In the Arms of Devastation' - Kataklysm (It was between this and 'Serenity in Fire'.)

5. 'Warkult' - Malevolent Creation ('Dead March' and 'Preemptive Strike', to start, put this in the top 10 alone.)

4. 'Living Sacrifice' - Living Sacrifice (IMO, the best Christian metal album out there. There are a lot of them, meaning good Christian metal albums, but this is the top of the heap.)

3. 'Pleasure to Kill' - Kreator (Classic, non-stop thrash!!! Very cool intro.)

2. 'Reign in Blood' - Slayer (Like the next one, #1, there is no need for explanation here.)

And the #1 album on my list is...........

1. 'In Their Darkened Shrines' - Nile (No need to comment here. Won out in a race with 'Annihilation of the Wicked', which would probably be on here if I didn't limit it to 1 album per band. This is as close to perfect as an album can get, until maybe their next one.)

Posted by: lost-jgs May 21 2007, 09:14 PM

1. 3 Inches of Blood - Advance and Vanquish
2. Silent Civilian - Rebirth of the Temple
