The comparison is not unlike that of you and Trollheart; you aren't afraid to try new things and admit that you like something, even if it seems unbecoming of your persona (like Kate Bush and Britney Spears), whereas Trollheart pretends to accept recommendations when deep down he will always hate everything but Prog, and refuses to enjoy anything new beyond reason (bastard won't even give Office Space a chance). Face it; Girlschool is your spirit animal.

You remember when Manowar's singer left to go write a children's book and make bad post-thrash, and the rest of the band recorded two albums that made Judas Priest's line-up change look like a stroke of genius?

What's that you say? That was Bruce Dickinson and Iron Maiden? Well don't that beat all.

Real talk this time. I'd have been perfectly willing to vote for Led Zeppelin IV on the proto-metal battle in the Metal Album Survivor thread, if more of the album was like "Black Dog", and less like "Going to California". Somebody needed to tell that band that their attempts at folk were inconsistent at best.

And yet when Manowar try to branch out? Brilliance.
