Bats and company, what are your thoughts on this recently released list?

^ I'm not going to read that list, mainstream metal journalism is a joke and it always will be, but I like how media publications laud Black Sabbath's first few albums now. I obviously was not around when they were getting going but from my understanding, their first four albums were all but ignored by their contemporaries.

I'd actually recommend reading this one. Morbid Angel, Bathory and a bunch of others get some good praise.

It's a list. It's got the albums it has to have, misses a few it probably should, has some it shouldn't, and has a largely arbitrary order. I did notice that it seems to include albums from the same sub-genres in close proximity, as if whoever made the list was just slapping it together from off the top of his head. Oh and not nearly enough extreme metal. It feels like either Rolling Stone didn't want a list that its audience wouldn't want to listen to or the author just didn't really like extreme metal but had to have some Death and Darkthrone anyway.

lol like it's written by one guy. I'm almost certain that the lack of extreme metal is to cater to their demographic.
It certainly exceeded expectations for a Rolling Stones list though.

Wait it has Bathory? That's surprising. Alright, I'll read it.
EDIT: yeah this list is better than I thought it would be. Never thought I would see Entombed on this list. Last edited by Wpnfire; 06-21-2017 at 01:27 PM. |

I wonder if that's a factor in how they determine what's great or not.
