This thread made me think of a topic in the general metal forum about artists getting more praise after they've died... and as we all know (or should know) both Jon and Quorthon have gone the journey. I don't think it made any difference to Quorthon's fame though, I mean, he couldn't get any more praise... and he damn well earned it while he was here!

Please don't think that Dissection became famous because the death of Jon... because in that case... you're wrong.
The two first masterpieces that Dissection did [The somberlain & The stom of Light's Bane] were all ready well know by metal fans...

Jon died some time after the record Rein Kaos.. wich is... a very bad album.

You're right, Jon was a legend already in the '90s. At least here in Sweden.

I agree, I think that notion is bullshit. Jon was always a legend even up to his release from jail.

I didn't say anything about Dissection or Jon not being legendary long before Jon's suicide! I know they were and I was well into them myself before they reformed! All I said was that it reminded me of the thread, just because both artists are dead, that's all.

Aaaa ok.
In that case, I'm sorry ^^U

Dissection because Jon killed himself because of his beliefs.

I choose Bathory for sure. While Dissection released a magnificent album with Storm of the Light's Bane, I haven't really bothered to check the two albums bookending that one (I may in the future, but this is besides the point). I believe Bathory made more great albums (and more albums period) for us to enjoy, and that for me gets the vote. Plus Hammerheart is a masterpiece.
