Awesome! Thanks for all the hard work mate!

11 of my top 15 in the top 100, not bad.

Great job!

I'm amazed that Black Label Society is that low. The is a kick ass album. Unbelievable bias against Zakk around here!!!

I never completed my list since I'm still waiting for a mid-December release to arrive...

What ? I'm the only one who bought the Murderdolls Cd ? or the only one who loves it ?

Nope. I love em'.

No surprise to see Enslaved winning this one. It's a fantastic album.

Thanks for doing this Lord! Great job and a great list of albums. This forum has good taste.

Check http://www.bravewords.com/static/flipbo ... picks.html to see where MURDERDOLLS placed on my Top 20 of 2010.

Hands down the best release of 2010.Atleast it made the top 3.

wat

Great job LOAF. Thank you for all your hard work to keep this tradition going.

Good list, too. Some very worthy choices and also a few albums that I still need to check out!

11 of my top 15 made it, too. Not bad at all. Not at all surprised that the Enslaved took #1 and I have no complaints about that, really. I'm surprised to see the Overkill outrank Fear Factory (I really thought that one was gonna take the 2 spot) and that rules. It's also veeeery cool to see that the Accept got so much love.

I'm stunned that the Sigh album (a band this forum has jerked off over relentlessly in the past to the point of irritation) placed at 79. This makes me happy.

Also very cool that the Heathen cracked the top 15. Urfaust should be about 80 places higher though, you fucks.

Thanks again for doing this, LOAF.

Only 4 for me.

that album was pretty much hailed across the board as being totally weak.i'm surprised it made the list at all.

now,let me be the first with the TLP styled list comparison.

1-Atheist-Jupiter(34)
2-Anathema-We're here because we're here(8)
3-Bad Religion-The dissent of man(52)
4-Witchery-Witchkrieg(18)
5-Fear Factory-Mechanize(4)
6-Enslaved-Axioma Ethica Odini(1)
7-Cathedral-Guessing game(39)
8-DarkThrone-Circle the wagons(37)
9-Borknagar-Universal(54)
10-Dark Tranquillity-We are the void(36)
11-Armored Saint-La raza(57)
12-Hail Of Bullets-On divine winds(11)
13-Blind Guardian-At the edge of time(6)
14-Iron Maiden-The final frontier(5)
15-Soilwork-The panic brodcast(30)

wow! my entire top 15 made it into the top 60.that hasnt happened it a few years

Fozzy was robbed.

Seriously, good looking list.

Great list, as usual. Thanks LoaF, it's always greatly appreciated

Why is the Iron Maiden crapfest in the top 5??

Because their logo is on the cover.

No FOZZY !

Pretty respectable list!! Thanks again LoAF!!!

Not a bad list at all, lots of my choices placed throughout and much more well-balanced than any polling-based composite list has any right to be. Good job!

Most of my list made it. I think that the final list is actually really solid this year. You have to expect bigger release to finish near the top. but this year it seems that every album in the top 10 is at least good for what it is. I really do like the Maiden album, but I don’t think that it is good enough to be rated that high on a year end list. That would probably be my only major complaint about the whole thing. Anyway, thanks for running this show LOAF.
