    - first place in your rankings gets 10 points, 2nd gets 9, etcetc, 10th gets 1.

    - feel free to post less than 10, the same scoring will apply.
    - feel free not to rank your picks, in which case all ten picks will get 5.5 points.
    - if you're so much of a dick that you have to post more than 10 unranked picks, i'll work out the mathS. basically there's no way you can sabotage this so fuck you!)

    you just post a top 10 and they're all counted up at the deadline. i've added the rules into the original post.

    and yeah i get why some folks may want me to disqualify people who aren't regulars, but i don't want to discourage genuine new users from participating due to paranoia about alts either. if anyone has an idea about making a rule about this i'm all ears. i did DQ that one new user who was behaving like a bot in one of the early threads lol

    ... who was that?

    I say you either do what Crim did and add a minimum post requirement, or just include people that are genuinely part of the community here since you know, this is a community poll/thread after all no? But hey it's your thread so do what you want.

    This should be interesting. I already know that Kamelot, Opeth, Nile and Galneryus are a lock for me this year but I'll definitely have to listen to some stuff again.

    I definitely have some re-listening to do for this one. Top 5 is basically locked in, though.

    Not to mention Manilla Road, amirite? ;)

    Wait, The Scream That Tore the Sky was a 2005 release? Well, that just makes this more difficult for me.

    I listened to Gates of Fire again about a week ago and there's honestly a good chance that it won't get in my list. It's not bad by any means but there was just a lot of much cooler stuff that came out in 2005.

    I think I was the one who originally recommended it since you asked me what genre they were when I posted that album.
