As you may know or not know (probably not) but I am a big heavy metal fan. I know not everyone is, I listen to other music besides metal like classical, jazz, rock, some pop and rap. Mainly metal though. There a ton of sub-genres that exist within the metal community. I'll try to explain that genre if an album I pick within it, because there are so many I can probably dedicate an entire series to metal genres. Anyways, the purpose of this list is to introduce everyone to the music I enjoy but hopefully it lets people explore some other music out there and maybe become a fan. It also doubles as list for someone who is trying to build a solid metal collection. Perhaps you're a librarian (like me!) and you are purchasing music and want to get some new music in your collection. Or you're a 15 version of myself trying to find my metal niche (mine is thrash).
So here are some of the rules I put forth while creating this list::
The albums I include are not ranked in any way. Number one is not my favorite, number twenty-five is not my least favorite, etc.
There will be no repeats when it comes to a band. If one Pantera album makes the list, I will limit them to one. There are so many bands I want to suggest so I want to give everyone a fair shot.
I won't be putting a rating on any of the albums because they all get 5 out of 5 Burning Lariats since they are on this list.
I am in no way an expert in the ways of music. I listen to a lot of music and try new artists/ bands out all the time. Quick recommendations The Winery Dogs and the new Civil Wars albums are quite tasty! These are all my opinions so you may agree/ disagree/ hell not even care/ nor read this Blog. But I hope you do!
I will try to put up an entry every day, but sometimes work and life keep me way too busy so bear with me on this one. Look for the first entry soon!
So long and thrash on!
