You say this like it's a bad thing.

NVM, guys, Winger's s/t is the winner of the whole battle. Sorry, Batty took over this Survivor but couldn't be bothered to actually do it properly, so he just had me let you guys know the winner.

EDIT- He doesn't care if it fits better under Glam Metal than Hard Rock. No, he really doesn't give a **** at this moment.

Joke's on you. So far as I know all of the Bathory bootlegs are fake, containing only material from official albums that has been altered to sound like a demo or whatever.

But if I literally cannot listen to either death or black metal because extreme metal albums give me a massive headache (except some thrash metal), wouldn't the joke be on you if there are no real bootlegs? I don't even like either genre to begin with.

If Trollheart is gone for good it's nice to know we have a replacement. Too bad we're apparently starting from scratch.

Let me be the first to say, if you don't like black or death metal, you ARE the joke.

EDIT- Also, if you had to pick the worst album off of the Jazz Fusion list, what would it be? I'm considering a replacement. Don't ask for the replacement, because I know you'll just say all of the albums are better than it. Just tell me which ones are the worst, and I'll consider if it belongs on the list.

Al Di Meola's is my least favorite on the list fwiw.

Let me say that I would be more open to it if my brain didn't hurt so hard everytime I played something that even came close to death/black metal (except that one Sunbather album). I don't think it's a joke that something hurts me physically, unless slapstick is an extreme metal.

You're one of those people who never turns their volume up higher than halfway, aren't you?

If you can listen to Sunbather, I would highly recommend giving any of these a try.

They're all quite cleanly produced by black metal standards, and the first track even uses clean vocals at times. Not to mention, lyrically you shouldn't have an issue with them because I seem to remember you saying something about not enjoying satanic imagery, which isn't really a prominent factor for any of these bands.
