Nice choices there Ult. It's cool to see you like "Crimson Thunder" by Hammerfall. Seems like many don't like that one. It's actually my favorite Hammerfall album.

Kmorg, it's cool to see you like Iced Earth's "Framing Armageddon". I thought I was the only one on earth who liked that album.

I was blown away with this. Again, the follow ups got better and better, but this had the biggest impact on me personally.

We might be the only ones.

Negative. I love this cd too. I actually prefer this to United Abominations and End Game. It's almost perfect IMO.

I've loved all the Ripper era Iced Earth.

No, not yet. I ws never a huge Ungwie fan, but I have to admit, this new one has me interested.

Tough call, but how can i effectively do a list when 2010 hasnt happened yet maybe therell be a few albums thatll make my list that have yet to come out yet?



I know I know I gotta be Technical

Quote :

1 Allen/Lande-The Battle (two of the best vocalists in metal coupled with a guitarist with a propensity for melody)
2 TSO-Beethoven's Last Night (grandiose, emotional, and bombastic)
3 Avantasia-Metal Opera Pt. 2 (blind purchase which I ended up listening to for 5 days in a row)
4 Circle II Circle-Burden Of Truth (despite being a huge Zak fan since '94 it took me forever pick up an album for his band-listened to it several times in a row the firt time I got it)
5 Avantasia-The Scarecrow (couldn't stop listening to this one the first day I got it)

I know I know I gotta be Technical

Actually 2010 will be the first year of the new decade. Counting at 2000, you got 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09. See - 10 of em. So to be technical the end of 2009 marks the end of the first decade of the new millenium.

I know - it's confusing.

This is actually really tough because I have a really bad memory.

1. Guns N Roses - Chinese Democracy
2. Marvelous 3 - ReadySexGo
3. Megadeth - The System Has Failed
4. Edguy - Rocket Ride
5. Bon Jovi - Crush

The 2000s ended up being a great decade for rock & metal. At the beginning, the state of rock didn't look too bright but slowly all the veterans gathered back to their "classic" line ups (or as close as possible) and put out quality stuff while seeing success on tour and short-term success and high debuts on the charts again. Plus, tons of new acts have come along to carry the torch for whatever subgenre you prefer.

My 2nd favorite Megadeth album, I think this is going to remain the band's highpoint post-breakup/comeback (in my eyes at least).

I forgot this ones. Great albums
Just if Wake Up THE Magellan was released a year later it could be my top favorite of the decade

Wake of Magellan was released in '98.

I know, I am saying if it was released a year mater, that could be my fave album of this last ten year.

Iron Maiden - Rock in Rio
Rush - Snakes and Arrows
Saxon - LionHeart
AC/DC - Stiff Upper Lip


right off the top of my head.....

Nearly impossible...but here's my "gut" reaction

1) Timeless Miracle - Into The Enchanted Chamber
2) Cage - Hell Destroyer
3) Masterplan - Aeronautics
4) Wuthering Heights - Far From The Madding Crowd
5) Falconer - Northwind



This leaves off Theocracy, Ensiferum, Turisas, Rob Rock, Brainstorm, Blind Guardian, Iron Maiden, Sonata Arctica, Ultimatum, Mortification, Iced Earth, Evergrey, Testament, Crom, Dark Moor, and so many others!!!
