I think I'll probably do this list thing later.

Yes the fuck they do. They're one of the most famous actual metal bands today, and they brought power metal into the mainstream.

I remember one day in my senior year in high school, I was listening to Angra and one of my classmates came up to me and asked "is that Dragonforce?". I somehow took offense as if they weren't similar and was all "NOOOO". A silly bayustid is me.

why, yes. Yes, I am. though I got awesome posters for Christmas as well. really cool Jimi Hendrix door poster and another really cool Led Zeppelin fabric poster. also, fucking crazy Bob Marley blinds for my windows. one of him playing his guitar and one with a lion's head coming out of the back of his head. And I got this really nice star-shaped (with 8 points) wall-hanging decoration of a green man face. just hung up all that stuff today, except the Hendrix poster, which needs a frame. My new room keeps getting more and more outrageously awesome.

Power metal isn't mainstream in North America with the soul exceptions of Manowar and Dragonforce.

If you're anywhere else in the world, power metal was ALREADY mainstream.

Yeah, they're definitely not a serious band. The lyrics made me lol, though.

And yes, they're terrible.

top 20 metal albums of the decade:

Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain
Agalloch - the Mantle
Arcturus - the Sham Mirrors
Baroness - the Red Album
Blotted Science - Machinations of Dementia
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Fleurety - Department of Apocalyptic Affairs
Isis - Panopticon
Orange Goblin - the Big Black
Rwake - Voices of Omens
Sigh - Hangman's Hymn
Sigh - Imaginary Sonicscape
Solefald - Pills Against the Ageless Ills
Solefald - Red For Fire: an Icelandic Odyssey Part 1
Solefald - Black For Death: an Icelandic Odyssey Part 2
Symphony X - the Odyssey
Týr - Ragnarok
Ufomammut - Lucifer Songs
Ufomammut - Snailking
Virus - Carheart

And just because I didn't include Solefald's in Harmonia Universali doesn't mean I wouldn't fuck it raw and nut inside it if it were a woman.

It doesn't matter whether they're mainstream or not, they still have mainstream-level recognition due to GHIII, and your point that "no one thinks of dragonforce" is therefore wrong.

At 12/31/09 02:59 PM, DrMafesto wrote: A lot of lists contain muse on them. Are they really that great of a band?

Ever since Absolution, no.
Before and including Absolution, yes.

And their live show is amazing.
So I suppose they are that great a band. They're just failing to be as good as they were.

I've only heard of Discovery and Black Holes. And Discovery is obviously tits. And Black Holes I've only heard a few songs off and I felt they lack what I like about Muse... which is Absolution and its incredibly apocalyptic sound... besides Absolution (and New Born + a few others from Origins...) I couldn't really care :P.

Not in the UK its not.
And I doubt most of the Middle East has taken to it either.

Here's my top 20 non-metal albums of the decade. Don't think less of this list just because it will include video game and anime soundtracks (also a soundtrack to a certain Norwegian movie that I've never seen). The soundtracks included are just genuinely great and are among the best music albums that have been released this decade, regardless of the quality of the works for which they were used.

Battles - Mirrored
Boards of Canada - the Campfire Headphase
Boris - Heavy Rocks (counting it as stoner rock)
Boris - Pink
Don Caballero - American Don
King Crimson - the Power to Believe
Noriyuki Asakura - Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven Original Soundtrack
Noriyuki Asakura - Way of the Samurai Original Soundtrack
Plaid - Tekkon Kinkreet Original Soundtrack
Professor Fate - the Inferno
Radiohead - Kid A
Thievery Corporation - the Richest Man in Babylon
Tool - 10,000 Days
Tool - Lateralus
Ulver - Blood Inside
Ulver - Perdition City
Ulver - Svidd Neger
Ulver - a Quick Fix of Melancholy
Various Artists - Boogiepop Phantom Original Soundtrack
Various Artists - Final Fantasy 10 Original Soundtrack (likely the only JRPG OST I'd regard so highly)

Way of the Samurai 2, that is

Happy New Year everyone. Let's hope this new decade brings us some awesome new metal albums/bands.

The last full song of 2009 I listened to was Vital Remains-Dechristianize. WOO 2010. I predict a year full of fucked up events,earthquakes,sex scandels and plenty of epic metal albums and videos.

three fucking hours until it's 2010

Yeah, there was a topic about it in general. I wish the guitarists would die in a freak accident of some sort. They're really the worst part of the band in my opinion.

Fuck you guys are pricks. >=(

Get rid of the whole band.

Besides, even if one doesn't care for their recorded material, live they are mad fun.

I thought Ultra Beatdown was their weakest. That was the album that really showed no progression with their music. It really disappointed me when I hoped they'd at least change something but that's not something they considered. I could hope they actually do it for their next album but chances are, I'm only going to be disappointed again.

Pretty much all that needed to be on everyone's list.
At least for Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain, Blotted Science and of course Electric Wizard for all you crack smokers out there :P

Mainstream? Sorry... I never heard any power metal on the radio or on tv... well... except when they make some special shows with some metal stuff..

And of course... DragonForce have made power metal popular and mainstream...
cause no one had ever heard of Stratovarius before that...

So best albums of the decade? Just metal or anything? Since it's the Metal Hell, I'll put only Metal albums :P
Here are my favorites:

1. Ashes Against The Grain - Agalloch
2. The Machinations Of Dementia - Blotted Science
3. Altered Genesis - Blood Red Throne
4. Icon - Benighted
8. Wintersun - Wintersun
20. Roomservice - Panzerchrist

Nice list, ''Roomservice'' Of course! And ''Altered Genesis'' with the song: Tortured Soul Appearance= Awesome! It's kind of funny that your top albums(excluding agalloch) are all death metal bands.

RE: I doesn't have read all the conversation between you and this guy, but I think that his point isn't bad at all. Melodic death metal band seems to be very popular in the world(Example: CoB or In flames). Samething in black metal with ''melodic or symphonic black metal band'' such as Dimmu Borgir.

My point is that Melodic bands seems to be ''easy listening'' for metalheads and non-metalheads.. Try to listen some Brain Drill for the fisrt time and you will need to take a Big brutal breath! lol.

I was about to mention it when it happened, but I realized nobody here really gives a shit about them. Yes, that would be funnier if the singer died, he would be like "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA A"

The band would break up if the singer died, so that would be overkill.

On second thought, they ripped off Overkill's mascot.

So yeah, kill the whole band.

Oh. Now I know who we are talking about.

Eh. They are a terrible band, but Beast & the Harlot was fun to play on GH.

PLEASE DONT STRIKE ME D:

I just the rev from A7X died. I don't know bout u guys bu the guy was a really talented drummer. He will be missed.

One my overall favorite parts about Ahab is the drumming. It keeps the funeral doom feeling going without being too simple and boring.
