Heavy Metal Raiders of the Lost Ark Mad Max 2 History of the World, Part I The Evil Dead Not exactly passionate about #2-5, but Heavy Metal's one of my all-time favorites. Surprised no one else has listed it yet. Need to see Escape from New York and Das Boot.

Well, I hit "strong disagree" on that one even though I recognized that a one-party system has an advantage in quick decision-making. They do make it clear in the instructions that they're looking for gut answers. Apparently they address that question in their faq too:

I'm not usually into these surveys, but I got curious tonight. Political Compass seems pretty sensibly designed.

Shit, I never actually bothered to check if they had non-album singles. This made my day, thanks!

Well the examples above are all totals, but I could hypothetically calculate an average, depending on what the denominator is. I mean, in the case of Iron Maiden, that 73.2 score comes from ratings for 41 songs (I don't rate every song in the discog), so out of the 41 songs with a rating, the...

I started a spreadsheet last year, and went bonkers with it. Now lists 2100 works by 500 artists, with a point score for each. I originally rated songs only, but started adding scores for albums that stood out as a whole without any specific songs in them standing out. I use the following rating...

Wow, no love for Rainbow s/t huh. Listening to that Buffalo album for the first time now, good stuff. Somehow I wrote off Scorpions many years ago, guess I'll have to revisit them next.

Sick list @Bloopy, can't wait for pt 2 :lol:

Rediscovering Nokturnal Mortum over the past few days, a good addition to this thread: After criticizing Summoning for the style of folk they use, I see I have a distinction to make. I guess the difference for me is Nokturnal Mortum's folkish passages are a supplement rather than the focus...

Never knew this came out as a physical single, lol

My vanilla tastes really show here with only five bands on the list. Only way it possibly stands out is the Rainbow bias. I could list more by the same bands but I'll stick to the fifteen I really care about. Black Sabbath - Paranoid Black Sabbath - Vol. 4 Rainbow - Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow...

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree that homeownership puts people on a counterproductive side of issues like infrastructure projects and helping the homeless. I don't know what would realistically "fix" that though, other than house prices continuing to grow insanely high like they are today, thus...

When it comes to genre crossover I think it's important to recognize a difference between metal that "incorporates elements" of other genres and metal that seamlessly fuses with other genres. I personally haven't heard any true fusions of trance and metal (and I don't consider the above Waltari...
