Wow, very unusual yet interesting mix of albums you got here. While the heavy/power metal albums aren't really my cup of tea, albums by bands such as Warning, Aquilus, Candlemass, My Dying Bride, Edge of Sanity, Empyrium, Emperor, Solitude Aeternus, Officium Triste and Mourning Beloveth are definitely among my favourites. So good job. (and thank you too for your +1 on my list also check out my other lists if you're curious)

Trying to distill the albums i've heard to 50 or 100 might be a fun project. nice list, thanks for the idea. i imagine there would be some similarity between the two.

Great list (some I do not know, some do not care for), a lot of great stuff I also enjoy.
