Gorgoroth not even having made the list makes me a sad panda.

Interesting list this year - lots of surprises!! Good job LoaF!

Thanks to LOAF! Nice job.

Gonna go thru the list now and make some comments but it is awesome to see The Chasm in the top 10!

I guess now this means that the Elitists have now placed one foot off the Chasm bandwagon and are ready to jump.

I have 18 out of the top 100 and considering that I only bought around 30 cds from 2009, that is not bad.

CDs I own.

3. Megadeth - Endgame
7. Heaven & Hell - The Devil You Know
9. The Chasm - Farseeing The Paranormal Abysm
13. Candlemass - Death Magic Doom
16. Slayer - World Painted Blood
24. Behemoth - Evangelion
27. Sacrifice - The Ones I Condemn
28. Dream Theater - Black Clouds And Silver Linings
33. Kreator - Hordes of Chaos
43. Razor of Occam - Homage to Martyrs
44. Vektor - Black Future
69. Cauldron - Chained To The Nite
71. Grave Digger - Ballads of Hangman
72. The Gates of Slumber - Hymns of Blood & Thunder
84. Redemption - Snowfall on Judgement Day
86. 3 Inches Of Blood - Here Waits Thy Doom
89: Warbringer - Waking Into Nightmares
99. Obituary - Darkest Day
Ok, so here are some comments....

Surprised at albums that placed higher than I thought.

4. Mastodon - Crack the Skye
9. The Chasm - Farseeing The Paranormal Abysm
16. Slayer - World Painted Blood
28. Dream Theater - Black Clouds And Silver Linings

- Mastodon at #4 is a little surprising because I did not think the album was loved as much as their prior albums. I guess I was wrong.

- Seeing The Chasm in top 10 of anything is pretty shocking but it's very cool to see that people are diggin' this truly amazing band.

- Oh sure, Slayer gets on the list by name alone regardless of the quality of the album. I understand that but many people shit on this album as much as the people who praised it so I expected them to be prolly 20 notches lower, give or take.

- I like Dream Theater but this last album was a bit of a disappointment and even the rabid DT fanboys were tame on their reaction to the album. Didn't think this would place high at all. I though it would be much, much lower.

Surprised at albums that placed lower than I thought.

27. Sacrifice - The Ones I Condemn
46. Voivod - Infini
61. Artillery - When Death Comes
89: Warbringer - Waking Into Nightmares

- I expected Sacrifice to be in the top 10 or 15 easily. If they can't make the top 10 of this board, then they will never make a top 10. Plus, I think they deserve to be ranked that high.

- Voivod is a band again that by name alone, they should be in the top 25. Kind of surprised to see them drop.

- The thrash afficianados were boasting about the new Artillery when it came out. Seems like it lost some steam as the year went on.

- As for Warbringer, I wasn't expecting them to place in the top 30 or antyhing but it seemed that many were much more pleased with the second album over the debut and I thought it would show in the rankings. They seemed to have barely made the list.

Fixed!

Ya, that doesn't seem right to me either, I'm going to go thru a few things again and see. Baroness was on a lot of peoples lists too. It is possible I've over looked something.

Ya, you were right, my apologies, I did over look Baroness and Destroyer 666 when making the final tally. Thanks for catching that.

Thanks for making this LOAF.

Cool list although Altar of Plagues, Converge and Teitanblood need to be higher of course

umm.. number 23

a full 3 bands from my list of 12 made the top 100. awesome!

Thanks for the effort putting that list together !!!

This is the first year MY list has been pretty close to what the readers here have chosen.

I still say STEEL PANTHER is a TOP 10 - that singer and guitarist frickin' RIP - plus the songs made me laugh for at least 3 months straight...

Nostalgia is a tricky cologne. Put it on too thick and judgment gets a bit cloudy.

(Ya like what ya like, but man that album is boring.)

This could EASILY apply to album # 2.

9. The Chasm - Farseeing The Paranormal Abysm
12. Absu - Absu
15. Asphyx - Death... The Brutal Way
35. Slough Feg - Ape Uprising!
43. Destroyer 666 - Defiance
45. Razor of Occam - Homage to Martyrs
46. Vektor - Black Future
61. Drudkh - Microcosmos
69. Shakles - Traitor's Gate
85. Crucifist - Demon Haunted World

The albums on my list that made it in!

...and most of your list. ;-)

He just fixed that. They weren't on the list yesterday.

Oh snap!

No Gorgoroth?!?!?!?

Shiiiiit. I completely neglected to get my list in in time for the final count.

But Heaven & Hell made the top 10? Really?! I wanted to like that record, but it really does nothing for me at all. I'm surprised it did as well as it did, but hey, good for 'Sabbath.

yeah but a whole truckolad of 15th place votes will bump it up in the top ten easily.

Double checked, and that is correct. Just missed out on the top 100.

Wow. Despite its utter mediocrity, I figured the new Gorgoroth would be in there.

My #1, Blut Aus Nord, came in 78th. #2, Ulcerate, didn't make the list. #3, Amorphis, came in 10th. Portal came in 49th.

I think that's a pretty damn good list altogether. Thanks for doing the tallies LOAF.

Glad to hear Baroness placed in the end. That record is GREAT.

Here's how my list turned out:

Hallows Die - World Of Ruin (Did not place)
Katatonia - Night Is The New Day (#2)
Vader - Necropolis (#21)
Belphegor - Walpurgis Rites - Hexenwahn (#55)
Nile - Those Whom The Gods Detest (#1)
The Devin Townsend Project - Addicted (#11)
Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague (#6)
Lamb Of God - Wrath (#37)
Municipal Waste - Massive Aggressive (#62)
Mastodon - Crack The Skye (#4)
God Forbid - Earthsblood (#99)
3 Inches Of Blood - Here Waits Thy Doom (#88)
Behemoth - Evangelion (#25)
DevilDriver - Pray For Villains (Did not place)
Woods Of Ypres - IV: The Green Album (#70)

13 out of 15 sure isn't bad.

Here's how mine came down to.

1. Katatonia - Night is the New Day (2)
2. Om - God Is Good (30)
3. Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way To Blue (8)
