The CMR. Once again they have their fingers on the pulse of.....ummm...themselves.

I actually have a lot of whats on their list. I think it is fairly representative of what others have published..

Cool that Accept hit #1. It's a great album.

I was shocked to see Raven make the list.

There is not a lot of Christian metal on that list...

There is not a lot of Christian metal being released.

im very unimpressed. i appreciate the nods to heathen, in vain, and coriolis, though. i wouldnt put most of those christian albums in the top 50 by far....though i suppose that goes for the secular ones as well, but, like ultmetal said, i havent noticed an overabundance of christian metal lately.

I actually really really disagree about the amount of christian music being released. Loads of christian music but not that many very good ones worthy of being on a top 50 list in my opinion.

There are some Great ones on that list.The Sacrificed should've ranked much higher IMO.

32. Various Artsits--Temporary Insanity: A Tribute To Deliverance

In my opinion, this thing (sans 2 or 3 songs) was horrible. I can't believe it ranked higher than the new Heathen and Raven.

I liked Disc 1 quite a bit.

It has more name recognition over there. That's what these polls are all about.

If METALLICA had released an album, no matter what it sounded like, it would probably be in the top 5 based on name recognition alone. That's how IRON MAIDEN consistently do so well in these things.

This is all I have from that list. I'm surprised.

I had only seven of those in my top 50. Hmm.

Same here. I only have 7 from that list. However there are 3 or 4 others that I've been meaning to pick up, just haven't got around to it yet.

I'm surprised to see Charred Walls of the Damned on there. I like that one, but I didn't think it was all that popular.

7 Sinners easily deserves to be ranked first or second.

Amazing album.

I only have 6
