I created such a thread in the old version of the forum and now I figured that I'd make it anew. Besides, doom, being the greatest style of music, clearly deserves it. Since it's the least widespread of the "main" metal subgenres, the important polls all fit into this one topic.

write about:
10 favorite bands
10 favorite full-length albums
10 favorite demos / singles / EPs
10 favorite other releases (split albums, live albums, DVDs, compilations etc.)
10 favorite songs (name the release from which it is)
the doom album (if any) that was playing while making this list, just for fun

Make it no more than one entry per band per category, to avoid stacking entire discographies of bands like Skepticism into your lists. Naturally, you don't have to boil your brains trying to get exactly ten entries into each category. 10 is simply a nice round number to attempt.
