YOU TOTALLY MISSED THE ILX HEAVY ROCK/METAL ALBUM POLL COUNTDOWN, SUCKA (CLICK FOR A RECAP)

Yes, ta very much! Ironically I prefer the slower Metallica version of Horsemen/Mechanix.

I think we've had most forms of metal/heavy rock here apart from the mainstreameurogothmetal.

that even dan doesn't like

Have we had any nu-metal?

wait, what do you mean by "mainstreameurogothmetal"? because I don't have anything by them but Cradle of Filth is hysterical

i was thinking that meant more like HIM

well HIM seems to be kind of boring

Nightwish,epica,within temptation etc

re: nu-metal - SOAD came in at 193 with toxicity, if you count that.

I dont because i like it, but eh

I was going to continue on my "HIM seems unremarkable and inoffensive" spiel until I realized wait, I am listening to a cover of Chris Isaacs??????

fuck these guys

okay lolling hardcore at Nightwish, aka "the poor man's Evanesence"

I dont because i like it, but eh

Same here. Think of them more as art pop metal, if that's a thing.

I once deeply offended a German by telling him Nightwish were like Cradle of Filth but worse.

okay listening to Epica and um are all of these bands the poor man's Evanesence?

oh my god THEY ARE

yes!

all awful

and all huge in mainland europe

Evanesence is the poor mans evanesence tho is the thing

okay lolling hardcore at Nightwish, aka "the poor man's Evanesence"

as everyone should do if you ever have the misfortune to hear any of these bands

Evanesence is the poor mans evanesence tho is the thing

Evanesence at least had one tolerable song

no they didn't

The poor man's something:

xpost - I have a weird soft spot for Bring Me to Life

ugh Dummy Burger

after skimming through those bands I think I now understand why ppl listen to black metal

why are we talking about "metal" for 12 year olds now?

I blame whoever asked about nu-metal.

dan, those bands are massively popular amongst girl rockers.

I could seem them being massively popular amongst voice snobs but that doesn't make them any less horrible

lol to prove my statement upthread, I am really enjoying this Dimmu Borgir song

and all huge in mainland europe

I think once you grasp they were mad Christians the lyrics to Bring Me To Life and My Immortal (having not looked very far into their catalogue) put them into a whole different dimension. I think it makes them better, but maybe that's just me.

Evanescence related x-post

no I pretty much agree with you, although not enough to buy an Evanescence album

also Therion is way way way better than all of these Evanescence-esque bands including Evanescence

Houses Of The Holy - horrible cover apart, I'm never quite sure if it's their best or worst album.

It's the one i listen to most after physical graffiti

kinda got sick of the 1st 4

btw aldo hang around for #72 at least

man, so many Zepplin songs I only know when I hear them rather than by name

I kind of think you deserve to have your humanity revoked if you dislike "Over the Hills and Far Away"

man, so many Zepplin songs I only know when I hear them rather than by name

^ me too.

Zeppelin makes me speak in riffs.

setting aside that i think it's their best i don't really know how you can even begin to rationalize thinking it's their worst

I couldn't decide which zep to vote for. 1st 6 are amazing

Im not a big Zep fan, but the version of Over the Hills on that How the West Was Won live set is fucking spectacular. One of the best things i ever heard them do.

you know the thing I keep forgetting about Led Zepplin is the fucking amazing drumming

pfffft you dont like zep but you like stone temple pilots???????
