What a painting!

Where it all began (for me). The painting is amazing. Romanticism is ultimately fatal.

Think we might be finally into single figures now for Jute Gyte albums to come

Only one more! Hopefully quite high

Oh look, where it all began (with me and dissonant black metal as a whole)

Have always dreamed of turning the jam 8/9 minutes into The Repellent Scars Of Abandon And Election into a hip-hop loop

This Converge album is sick.

Now we're talking. Though I like Paracletus more because it's leaner and nastier.

Whoa. Had expected this to be considerably higher

Think this is the 4th Yob album to place

Currently on tour in Europe

A pleasing comeback album.

I can't get along with vocals like that at all. This Yob album on the other hand is pretty great.

A former EOY winner

I can't get along with vocals like that at all.

Saint Vitus are one of the main reasons Doom Metal exists

I really need to catch up with the later Yob albums. I like The Great Cessation. Had a good experience driving a U-Haul from Montreal with that one on. For some reason, I never bought anything later than that, but I remember liking what I heard.

It's going to mostly be about classical music for at least a few days, though.

and why would that be? (go on , have a free plug!)

love that cover

Always the same innit, one comes along then another..

... previous EOY poll winner

Lol, thx: Dedication to Polls and Voters: Notated Music Since 1890 - Voting and Discussion Thread
xps

Cant call this poll predictable, can you?

I feel like there's actually a decent overlap between the voting bases for this poll and the OTHER UPCOMING one.

When does voting end? I can definitely look at the nominations and vote for what I know/like in a totally uninformed way!

86 Baroness - First & Second 1659.5 Points, 7 Votes, One #1

I dont think of the EP's as one release but it was officially released as this on CD so here we go.
I suppose its better than having both EP's taking up 2 places in the 100.

The bands best ever songs are on these 2 EP's so very nice to see this place so high as they tend to not be known by people.

I have my originals on vinyl :)

I think at this point everyone's fed up talking about Baroness (and how they prefer Purple)

An Imago vote one assumes

Oh yay! I am wearing my DHG t-shirt even now. A Umbra Omega is a grand and astonishing work.

My #2! VERY nearly my #1. There's no track pick. You just have to hear it all, and to trust me. One of maybe the five best prog albums of all time

Vicotnik is like the Garm that nobody's heard of, and he might be an even more complex and interesting songwriter

And this is one of those gargantuan albums whose length is a bonus, not a chore. I never want it to end. It's like peak VDGG

A dark adventure through the very limits of metal composition

(post the next one or I'll keep going)

A traipse through lucid madness! A theatrical dirge to the psychedelic power of true sadness!

Can you handle the hunger?

And another former EOY poll winner coming up next..

Most of this is a jam. Try 'Canada' or 'The Fluke'

Love that Torche album so much. Thick slabs of melody.

I tried with DHG but couldn't stand the guy's voice.

Ashamed to say I've still not heard those early Baroness EPs.
