This one's decidedly death + doom + black metal-oriented... I guess that's the state of mind of the metal community right now. Personally not my favourite subgenres of the beast.

As a side-note, I think you forgot to add this one in the lists-not-decided-yet thread

I'll admit, the idea of an album called "Altars of Madness" sitting alongside the likes of Horses and Astral Weeks is bizarre, but I have to thank you a million times over for adding all those metal lists (especially since the hip-hop/Radio X lists made for a lot of adding). I'm trying to get more into metal - I'm listening to the Rock Hard 250 songs list - but the harder genres are not my thing at all.

And d'oh! Will do. I'm all done now.

And for all the death metal, at least it's balanced out with (relatively) lighter stuff like Nevermind or Dookie.

You're welcome and yeah, same here. I've been trying to use this opportunity to discover more metal but I'm not fond of what's coming after the late 80s in metal (not counting grunge and skate-punk). Not yet, perhaps It's less fun to my ears, but perhaps I'm not in the right state of mind.

It's an acquired taste to be sure. Also: second only to Nevermind, Metallica's Black Album may be the biggest beneficiary of the new lists, since a lot of pop and rock lists include it in addition to the metal lists.

Well, bummer then, because I like the 80s Metallica albums better Whatever, I got used to it.

First Nevermind stands a chance of bumping off Pet Sounds, now The Black Album might knock back Master of Puppets. You just can't get a break!

Well, not eligible apparently, so this time I got one Is this really a single-writer list though? They do use the mighty "We". Whatever, there's probably no way to confirm.

Yngwie Malmsteen - Rising Force (1984) is missing...
