Eh, the second half of By Inheritance is hit-or-miss. That questionable Nazareth cover really hurts the album.

Oh and one thing that offends me is the lack of Vio-lence on any of your lists. At least one of you should have some common sense.

I guess just remove the "metal" from the title. Sounds a little lame though.

You're spot on with the name. He basically hogties steers and f*cks large mammals on stage.

Still though, I feel motivated to put one of their albums on right now

The albums I put on my list are very metal driven. Their latest two albums have delved into this goth avant garde post punk sort of mixture that I love but didn't obviously put on my list. They're also a Brooklyn band that I see every chance I get. They don't draw a huge crowd anymore so it's usually a small few of us and they're always down to talk after the shows. Great guys. Their inclusion on my list is both driven by the fact that I love their albums and do think they're a metal band on certain albums but also because they're one of my local bands so I have a personal connection with their music.

Don't mean to nitpick, but surely you mean you have got a personal connection with their music?

Enslaved - Below the Lights
Enslaved - Mardraum
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Cryptopsy - None so Vile
Satyricon - Nemesis Divina
But Aus Nord - The Work which Transforms God
Sepultura - Chaos AD
Opeth - Deliverance
Meshuggah - Catch 33
Megadeth - So Far, So Good … So What!

These are my currents favourites. I know for Megadeth Peace Sells or Rust in Peace are possibly better, I just have a nostalgic attachment to SFSGSW.
