Saint Vitus at #9 is a total shock to me, and a great surprise.

Glenn just told me that Decibel had Saint Vitus - Born Too Late in their Hall Of Fame articles a wee while ago.

Born Too Late was my #44, but at least I have some kind of relationship with an album in the top 10. Was beginning to worry I wouldn't.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 13 August 2010 18:37 (fifteen years ago)
I ended up ranking 2112 higher because "A Passage To Bangkok" > "Closer To The Heart", but sometimes "Cygnus X-1" is my favorite thing they ever recorded.

Dopesmoker in the top ten (five?) whodathunkit?
― ha, wolves, what a bunch of sissies (Ioannis), Friday, 13 August 2010 18:38 (fifteen years ago)
also I should have ranked Hemispheres higher
man now I need to buy all of the Rush albums in addition to all of the Iron Maiden albums
― How could you forget the crazy hooker? (HI DERE), Friday, 13 August 2010 18:39 (fifteen years ago)
Dopethrone, you mean? Dopesmoker was #16.

If I hadn't thrown out all my cassettes 10 years ago, I'd have given them to you.
(Plenty of cassettes I should've held on to, to be sure. That was before I realized I could turn them into mp3s.)
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 13 August 2010 18:41 (fifteen years ago)
get the Beyond the Lighted Stage dvd, dan. you'll love it.
xps
― ha, wolves, what a bunch of sissies (Ioannis), Friday, 13 August 2010 18:42 (fifteen years ago)
I really hope the Black Album places #1 for the lolz.
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Friday, 13 August 2010 18:42 (fifteen years ago)
when i got really into rush back in high school, the remasters of all their albums were priced at $9.99 at newbury comics which was like WHOA SO CHEAP at the time. so i bought them all.
― ciderpress, Friday, 13 August 2010 18:42 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah, I think Dopethrone will be top 5 and Reign In Blood at #1. have we had Heartwork yet?
― Hey Jabulani! Pope of four four two. (aldo), Friday, 13 August 2010 18:43 (fifteen years ago)
i'm still missing Counterparts though, but i've been told it's the ideal one to be missing
― ciderpress, Friday, 13 August 2010 18:43 (fifteen years ago)
d'oh! that's exactly what i meant.
― ha, wolves, what a bunch of sissies (Ioannis), Friday, 13 August 2010 18:44 (fifteen years ago)
Counterparts is still better than Test for Echo. xp
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 13 August 2010 18:44 (fifteen years ago)
dan can you change thread title to 10 instead of 50 please? Most wont realise we will be finishing in an hour or so. 75 mins max.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 13 August 2010 18:45 (fifteen years ago)
instead of 20, i mean
so far this list has been badass as hell. the amount of upset it's causing is hilarious.
― GREAT GUY: (marc iv), Friday, 13 August 2010 18:47 (fifteen years ago)
No-one talking about Paranoid but it's the most consistent Sabbath album for me, only one pointless number (Rat Salad) and I never need to hear the title track again, but the rest of it...probably their worst album cover though.

actual lol @ this aside
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Friday, 13 August 2010 18:49 (fifteen years ago)
Paranoid is my least favourite of the first six Sabbath albums but it's still a great record. Just not one I listen to much.
― Gavin in Leeds, Friday, 13 August 2010 18:50 (fifteen years ago)
and now for an album by "the velvet underground of stoner rock/metal"

Even though I have Paranoid on cd now, I still have the cassette configuration in my head and almost never make it past the first half. But that first half is PHENOMENAL.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 13 August 2010 18:51 (fifteen years ago)
Oh cool, wasn't expecting that!
― Gavin in Leeds, Friday, 13 August 2010 18:52 (fifteen years ago)
Great Kyuss album, very glad to see it place here.

I was wrong even this close to the end.

Wait, which major Sabbath hasn't dropped yet? Vol. 4? Sabbath Bloody Sabbath? And still Zep 4 (right?), Slayer ... Boris again? Not a lot of space left!
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 13 August 2010 19:05 (fifteen years ago)
Vol 4 and MOR I think?
― the same relation to machines as that which machines have to man (Matt #2), Friday, 13 August 2010 19:06 (fifteen years ago)
It's a big ilx metal album, but not enough to break the top 5.
where is everyone btw?rollout is every 10 mins and we will be done in an hour and needle will be rolled out in a different thread (and at the end of that you can post your ballots).ps can someone do the recap for me?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 13 August 2010 19:07 (fifteen years ago)
Vol 4 to drop next methinks
― ha, wolves, what a bunch of sissies (Ioannis), Friday, 13 August 2010 19:08 (fifteen years ago)
I see dope in that album cover but I'm not seeing the throne
― How could you forget the crazy hooker? (HI DERE), Friday, 13 August 2010 19:08 (fifteen years ago)
I voted for that one.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 13 August 2010 19:09 (fifteen years ago)
see, it is confusing.

6, 7 and 9 were all surprises to me. Stoners motivated to vote! Weird.

Glenn -
it's the ex-stoners that vote for things that remind them of when they were stoners. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
