These are the albums which I like the most. Since I have not listened to a lot of albums( let's say, max 400 for me), it would be pretentious to make a list of my 100 favorite albums, so I keep this list short.
Under construction, the order of list might change.I would also add description too each album in the future.

1. Tool - Lateralus

2. Esoteric - The Maniacal Vale

3. Lurker Of Chalice - Lurker Of Chalice

4. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven

5. Blut Aus Nord - The Work Which Transforms God

I picked one album by each of my favorite bands for this list. Keep in mind that after the first few albums I put on the list, it became increasingly difficult to figure out where to place artists in my list. Also, this is kind of how my favorite bands lie now, as far as how often I listen to them - whereas some of these bands used to be much more frequently played, years ago. But this is, more or less, a list of my favorite albums by my favorite bands.

1. Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory

2. Seventh Wonder - The Great Escape

3. Symphony X - The Odyssey

4. Circus Maximus - Nine

5. Haken - Visions

My version of The Epics (Best Songs Over 10 Minutes) only this time it's more The Epics (Songs Over 10 Minutes) because we kept griping to PG and he wouldn't update his list. According to his profile he hasn't been on in... 371 days. So I thought "Hey, why not do it myself?"
Arranged by time. If you feel or know a song should be on here, let me know. I'm a mainstream fag, so I only listen to the popular stuff. I might have missed some bands.

1. Be'lakor - Stone's Reach

2. Kalisia - Cybion

3. Sun Of The Blind - Skullreader

4. Nile - Ithyphallic

5. Nightwish - Once

This is a list of the albums that score 100 in my personal ranking system. This means they are absolute all time favorites, and they could be here because of different reasons: from absolute mind-blowing musicianship that I deeply appreciate or simply because I enjoy the music and connect to it in a special way. Albums are not listed in any particular order.

1. Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle-Earth

2. Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time

3. Patrick Rondat - On the Edge

4. Helloween - The Dark Ride

My favorite and most enjoyed album's of the decade 2000-2009. Roughly in order, but not exactly.

You can kinda tell from this list that I joined Metalstorm in 2009. I started discovering far more music thanks to this site, hence the number of '09 releases featured. I'm slowly starting to pick back through the top lists of previous years, so I expect more pre-'09 releases will be added to this list.

1. Machine Head - The Blackening

2. Opeth - Blackwater Park

3. Between the Buried and Me - The Great Misdirect

4. Wintersun - Wintersun

5. Adagio - Underworld

      View entire list ››

1. Opeth - Still Life

2. Dream Theater - Images And Words

3. Opeth - Blackwater Park

4. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

5. Death - The Sound Of Perseverance

I wanted to create my personal Top List for a long time and to be honest, I always considered it as some kind of cool Prog Metal, Avantgarde Metal mix. As you can see, it has become a bit more complicated. So finally, there are Unexpect and Pain Of Salvation next to Bands like Kamelot and Savatage. Also, some Non-Metal Bands got involved like Jeff Buckley and Oingo Boingo. But could you imagine how PoS would sound without Jeffs influence? Or what would have become of Mr. Bungle if it weren't for Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo?! So I hope you have nearly as much fun with this list as I had creating it.

1. Pain Of Salvation - The Perfect Element, Part I

2. Kalisia - Cybion

3. Savatage - Streets: A Rock Opera

4. Dog Fashion Disco - Adultery

5. Polkadot Cadaver - Purgatory Dance Party
