Bibliophilia: Metal For Bookworms

A list for us bookworms, nerds, geeks, etc. Books are brutal and totally fucking metal.
This list lists books, poems, comic books, non-fiction and even movie adaptions of said books in some cases referenced to in albums (whether by concept, individual song or title).
This list is old. I started this way before The Epics, but never finished it. It's obviously not finished, so feel free to request. Initially, I was decided whether I should include songs based on stories from the Bible, but I'm leaning towards it. So expect that in a bit.

1. Ahab - The Call Of The Wretched Sea
2. Anthrax - Among The Living
3. Anthrax - State Of Euphoria
4. Avenged Sevenfold - City Of Evil
5. Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond

1. Blue Cheer - Vincebus Eruptum
2. Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
3. Vanilla Fudge - Renaissance
4. Gun - Gun

Had to Play Today (Order Doesn't Mean Terribly Much Here)

Bunch of good songs, here. Gonna compile a list or seven of the songs I can competently play on guitar. I might be happy to teach these, or at least provide some tabs

1June:actually was playing these all in D tuning. When not jamming along to the recording, I tend to use whatever key is my open string / 7 up, a strategy which may change if I ever get around to singing at the same time

1. Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
2. Blind Faith - Blind Faith
3. Queens of the Stone Age - Queens of the Stone Age
4. Mastodon - Blood Mountain
5. Elvis Presley - Can't Help Falling in Love

*Album Of The Year (For Every Year In My Collection)*

This list is the best album of every year that is represented in my current collection. Some years were really hard to choose as there were many deserving albums, others I had one or very few to choose from. The quality of albums drops off pretty severely after 1992 in my opinion. Its a shame the list isn't more diverse, but hey, I likes what I likes. I am however always buying music from many different years so expect this list to change. **Last Update 09/03/11**

1. Septicflesh - The Great Mass
2. Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini
3. Ghost Brigade - Isolation Songs
4. Septicflesh - Communion
5. Symphony X - Paradise Lost
