I was thinking of a title that could attract people but failed miserably. This is a list of albums that are often disliked, albums people find disappointing or bad but nevertheless albums I enjoy. I will also list albums I think are low rated or underappreciated, albums I think deserve(d) a better fate.

1.Black Sabbath - Never Say Die!

2.Helloween - Chameleon

3.Paradise Lost - Host

4.Queen - Hot Space

5.Deep Purple - Abandon

I have fallen behind on my 2020 albums listening but I might as well start a list now. This is a work in progress obviously, I'll probably be adding albums this time next year. (LOL)

1.Conception - State Of Deception

2.Zopp - Zopp

3.Rikard Sjöblom's Gungfly - Alone Together

4.Caligula's Horse - Rise Radiant

5.Anubis Gate - Covered In Colours

Thrash may not be my favorite metal subgenre but it's one of them. There have always been thrash albums I always get back to with great pleasure and I am usually happy when thrash veterans get back with great music.
I say not a thrasher because I am stuck in the past, as it's easily to be seen in the list, new bands have not impressed me much, especially when they predictably wear their influences on their sleeves.

1.Kreator - Terrible Certainty

2.Metallica - Master Of Puppets

3.Slayer - South Of Heaven

4.Annihilator - Never, Neverland

5.Death Angel - Act III

These are the albums I paid attention to or that stayed with me this year, got repeated listens. I did not mean to make a list here on MS but as I was doing lists elsewhere, I thought I'd combine them,add some more albums and make it more thorough here.

1.Klone - Le Grand Voyage

2.Arch/Matheos - Winter Ethereal

3.Ray Alder - What The Water Wants

4.Retrospective - Latent Avidity

5.Goblin - The Devil Is Back

Creating an Iron Maiden list in 2019 is rather redundant, since it's already been done to death here. But having seen a lot of lists (none of them I agree with) and having listened to some Iron Maiden lately, I thought I'd make my own list.

1.Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time

2.Iron Maiden - Powerslave

3.Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

4.Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind

5.Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden

My first list, so I'll just start with something simple: cover versions I've always enjoyed, a lot of them well-known, others not so much.
This list will be a work in progress, I'll try and update once I listen to covers worth listing here.
