NIIIIIIIIIIICE

I really hope the Black album doesn't place. Four Metallica albums deserved a spot in the top 100, but that wasn't one of them.

35 Yob · Catharsis (2003) (770 Points, 20 votes - ONE #1)

I think this was the YOB album I voted for

How many fucking albums does this one band have?!

That was the Yob album I cut at the very end.

Ilxor, not enough!

Stooges are a little bit more ilx canon than the Black Album. not saying i'll die of shock if it shows up, but usually whenever the subject comes up i feel like one of the album's only defenders.

jesus, yob-mania, who knew? herman, are you sure you aren't just posting your own ballot?

thats why stooges placed so high, cuz ilx canon non metal dudes voted for it

over to japan now

Lester Bangs coined the phrase "heavy metal" and said that Raw Power was the greatest heaavy metal album ever, ergo quiet down pfunkboy

39 Darkthrone · Transilvanian Hunger (1994) (701 Points, 15 votes - ONE #1 vote)

TOO LOW

I just realised I think I voted Back In Black as my #1 vote just because I couldn't be arsed to order my ballot so just did it A-Z.

isn't that 80 mins of buzzing xxp

Lester Bangs coined the phrase "heavy metal"

according to chuck it was actually "Metal" Mike Saunders who coined it.

What's with all the fucking Yob & Boris albums? Maybe I wouldn't ask this question if I'd heard any.

xp yeah I'm too young to know for sure...

btw, awesome that Blessed Black Wings cracked the top 50...

is this a visit by colonel drinkypoo?

I like Yob and Slough Feg, but they are seriously overrepresented.

33 Electric Wizard · Come My Fanatics (1997) (787 Points, 19 votes - TWO #1 votes)

I assure you I have no idea what you're talking about

It is then!

Can someone explain to me what's supposed to be good about Manila Road please?

I tried to find that out in the Listening Club and got nowhere. Best explanation was lots of cool people like it and claim it as an influence.

If you don't like Manilla Road, there's something wrong with you.

Seriously, they're the only band I've checked out on either poll so far that has left me scratching my head as to their appeal. Others haven't been my cup of tea, but they sound like a very cheap parody band to me.

Perhaps the godliest euro doom album of the last 15 years

that's how it's seen as by many, i mean

jj is a big fan

i voted for it but about #45 or something

#48 in fact

that album is so so awesome

Would love to know if it was euros or americans voting for it. Are they well known in the USA outside of the stoner/doom scene?

Bit sludgy for me, but they have a truly excellent name.

one of their albums comes with a sticker saying "The Biggest Sellouts In Doom"
lol
their last ever single got to #1 in Finland(their home country)

Shame I never got to see them before they split up. :(

I'm listening to a youtube of it right now. I was gonna say, "It's pretty excellent for sludge." xxp

btw this album was issued on vinyl finally this year, i got one.

next one up should keep the traditionalists AND the extreme kvlt dudes satisfied for a while

31 Funkadelic · Maggot Brain (1971) (788 Points, 18 votes - ONE #1 vote)

And , I repeat, I DID NOT VOTE FOR FUNKADELIC IN THIS ALBUM POLL.
Even if it is the greatest album ever made.

thats why stooges placed so high, cuz ilx canon non metal dudes voted for it

wasn't arguing against that, just saying black album doesn't even seem loved among non metal dudes here

Yeah man, there's no place for the black album even coming close to butting up against Master of Puppets.
