Why These Are My Favourite Albums: Avant-80s Selections From Perfect Or Near-Perfect Works Here they are, in order of year, and order of personal preference within each year. My utterly favourite songs from pre-1980 classics, rendered in my never-really-humble opinion, as everything should be.
Yes, that last bit may have been a touch of sarcasm. But this isn't. With few exceptions, every song on each album that made the list rocks - that's why I've rated them 9 or 10 - but these are my absolute favourites:

Good Things Take Time Essentially I composed this list as a note-to-self not to take my negative first impressions so seriously. Most of these tend to be works I initially rated a couple points (/10) lower, because the music didn't seem all that great to my ears. Again, most, tend to have increased value once I delved into the lyrics - sometimes entirely away from the music. Yeah... normally I couldn't care less whether you're singing about clown-phobias, alien invasions, SC battles, real war on Earth or alternative uses for vacuum cleaners. Oh, and on that note: Acid Reign (ensure Bandcamp-player is enabled in your user Settings) - is that another band's music entirely?

Worship at the Altar of Demos No, I haven't yet really checked out MS' own 'Clandestine Cuts' demo-highlighting series. Lemme know, if you will, which ones might be the aces in the holes - and what's the best demo you've ever heard?
(write-ups are also on the way for Morbid Angel, Kataklysm, & possibly Nasca and Verm; text for Asphyx & Abandoned may or may not come... they kinda sing for themselves)

Please Stop Feeding Crap to Your FOC In the last several hours, I have (as is rarely the case) had a good, big breakfast + dinner.
I feel great. ...as is rarely the case. So - what have I consumed, to put this diamond-in-the-rough smile on my dial? For once, no junk. No crap. No chips, no lollies, no chocolate bars, no Great White Bread. No shark either - but indeed, some fantastic fish.

Really Wucking Fish I Had a Drum-Set Apologies, of the most sincere kind, for the Spoonerism. It's really not my style, but some could argue it was necessary...

Love It All - 30 Fave Releases Since Y2K Howzat, two of my all-time fav releases recently turned 10 and 5 years old. They should get anniversary reissues. Make those great bands some more dough, among other things...
Numbers 10 and 28 on this list are so good, I can't really pick favourite songs. Could say that Sons' opening number is a bit forgettable, and The Difference Engine's fourth track might be just a bit too weird for me. Still, I score 'em at around 98 point two. Best possible result, eh?

Top (and/or unduly passed-over) Power Metal (?) With the express exclusion of Na, Mg, K, Ca, Cr, Fe, Cu, W, Hg, etc.
EP, full-length albums, & single song picks from a Guy Who's Not Really into PM... Yeah, I should have put up Viron's cover art as the image but that Dokken single (theme song of Nightmare on Elm Street movie #3) just looks far more interesting. Whether or not that was a PM addition to a Hollywood soundtrack may be a point of relevance, but to me it's immaterial. Go listen to the music!

More Of The Best Music Ever Made: Non-Fatally Flawed Favourites Of The Frightful Nineties Pretty much my top 5 of each year, 1990-1999. It may have been black metal's finest hour, but for the most part I don't care for the genre - check some other lists for recoms there.
As if I needed to say that... ...on with the show... (looking for more words? scroll down to #44)

Some Of The Best Music Ever Made: Syk's Picks Of Les '80s They were the best of times, they were the worst of times. Then thrash kicked glam out of the way, and once again, it was the best of times. Haha. Def Leppard's debut came close. Box of Frogs may yet make an appearance (or two). (Probably not two... something in the air there's just rather Average.)

Sugg, Ol' Timey http://www.metalstorm.net/bands/band_suggestions.php
Collection of various suggestions I've made for addition to MS's db, not necessarily new bands or with new releases, but with a few "bonus" recent things on the end to check out in the future Please don't forget, you're able to search fragments on MS, so "kanam" (from the right place/page) should return #3 on this list; searching "ggress" on the suggestions page (link provided) will show band #2 (and atm, one other) while "gress" will also find and show in the results all bands that have been labelled as "progressive"
