by Harry Thu Jan 03, 2008 4:30 am

Ok, becasue we all can't agree on the list of http://heavymetal.about.com it might be time to create our own list,
If this goes well, chances are that this list will appear on the new uncoming MMFE website,
but we need to make this they way it should be then, not just one topic full of screaming and chaos :p

So, how to make this work best?
I suggest you all list your ten favourite albums of the past year and give them points from 10 to 1...

Now, does this have to be Metal? Or just favorite albums in general?

by LordHangnail Thu Jan 03, 2008 6:16 am

I'm assuming metal because he's going to be compiling these for his metal website, and it wouldn't really make sense to have non-metal albums on it.

by Tallant Thu Jan 03, 2008 6:19 am

Reasonable to assume, yes, but he didn't specify. And if it is Metal music, would Hardcore be allowed too?

I like to be told exactly how something's supposed to be done before I do it. geek

by Jester Thu Jan 03, 2008 6:42 am

Man that was a lot harder because i think more that half of my top 10 were non metal albums. And yet i still feel like i left out some really good albums.

by Jester Fri Jan 04, 2008 6:49 pm

No Empires? =OOOO

=P

Yea....I forgot the Moonsorrow album, and Sigh. There's no way in hell that I only have 10 favorite albums. =]

I have trouble deciding what food to eat first, let alone ordering my albums into an order of opinion.

by Headbanger Fri Jan 04, 2008 10:15 pm

Looking at the top 10 we have ATM, there are only 2 albums I like in there.

by Jester Fri Jan 04, 2008 10:27 pm

1	Between The Buried And Me - Colors	33
2	Shining - V - Halmstad	26
3	Machine Head - The Blackening	24
4	Devin Townsend - Ziltoid The Omniscient	23
