Because I'd sooner spend an hour-and-a-half with Pokemon than a mindless action movie. I know you know what I'm talkin' about. ...No, not that. Honestly - some people...

Based on the original BBC radio program from 1942 that asked "if you were to be cast away alone on a desert island, which eight gramophone records would you choose to have with you, assuming of course, that you had a gramophone and an inexhaustible supply of needles".

Pretty f&rkin' hard to choose just eight albums but I've given it a go. Hope it never happens because I'd probably get sick of these awesome albums after just a few weeks - then what!?

1.Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny

2.Faith No More - The Real Thing

3.Megadeth - Rust In Peace

4.Alice In Chains - Dirt

5.In Flames - The Jester Race

This is a list with albums from the 2000's I like. I know that the term heavy metal perhaps always isn't really correct, I don't really care how albums are labeled. I have at least excluded all my extreme metal favourites since they can be found in my other lists.

1.Iron Maiden - Brave New World

2.Iron Maiden - A Matter Of Life And Death

3.Pagan Altar - The Lords Of Hypocrisy

4.Blaze Bayley - Silicon Messiah

5.Dark Forest (UK) - Dawn Of Infinity

So I had this idea about listing my song picks from my favourite bands. It started out by being just one but I listed three songs when I couldn't just name one. Sounded like a fun musical exercise when I first thought about it but in reality it just shows me it is very difficult to actually pick the songs. (Will update when necessary)

1.Dream Theater - Lifting Shadows Off A Dream, The Killing Hand, Under A Glass Moon

2.Pure Reason Revolution - Bullits Dominae, Disconnect

3.Grayceon - We Can, Shellmounds

4.Kylesa - Where The Horizon Unfolds, Running Red

5.Opeth - Serenity Painted Death, Forest Of October, April Ethereal

So it is have been 3 year without few days since my last update ( it took me a while ),
And this top 100 prove's that we like to look into new genres or move back to 70' and yearly 80' for something easier to listen to. For me it was ambient/nefolk, some heavy metal and hardrock but in the end mostly heavy shit, my favourite death metal also black, trash metal and grind.

1.Skuggsjá - A Piece For Mind & Mirror

2.Vader - Welcome To The Morbid Reich

3.Aborted - The Necrotic Manifesto

4.Aborted - Global Flatline

5.King Diamond - The Graveyard
