I was never good at making lists of top X things but some of the stuff here is pretty great so I'll just write about stuff other people posted that I'd consider picking for a list like that Brian Eno - Before and After Science/Another Green world Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels/Treasure Chelsea Wolfe - Pain Is Beauty or Swans - The Seer Pain is Beauty is nearly perfect as far as I'm concerned. when I first listened to it, it went into my head and never left. I'd pick My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky or White Light at the Mouth of Infinity over The Seer though. Einstürzende Neubauten - Halber Mensch Les Rallizes Dénudés - 77' Live Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King My Bloody Valentine - Loveless Death Grips - Exmilitary I prefer Sabbath Bloody Sabbath though 10. Dälek - Abandoned Language 31. Agalloch - The Mantle I could never decide whether I prefer The Mantle or Ashes Against the Grain. on one hand, Desolation Song. on the other hand, Not Unlike the Waves. |

I like some of Swans's 90s work better yeah. It's a pain limiting yourself to 5 per decade when it comes to music, and I guess movies and games too. Haven't actually listened to My Father... yet, I kinda lost track of them in the 00s until they started getting hyped everywhere with The Seer.

I don't know if I could order these, but here's... I guess I'll do a top 20 list of albums I totally love. I'll also attempt to limit this to one album per band. So, here goes -
Celtic Frost: Monotheist (this could likely be my favorite album ever)
Anaal Nathrakh: Eschaton
Dimmu Borgir: Spiritual Black Dimensions
Slayer: Reign in Blood
Sepultura: Morbid Visions
Pestilence: Consuming Impulse
Darkthrone: The Underground Resistance
Metallica: Kill 'Em All
Nile: Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka
Kylie Minogue: Light Years
Aqua: Aquarium
Power Trip: Manifest Decimation
Against Me!: Transgender Dysphoria Blues
Repulsion: Horrified
Judas Priest: Painkiller
Gorguts: Obscura
Bethlehem: Dictius te Necare
Fear Factory: Demanufacture
Captain Ahab: After the Rain My Heart Still Dreams
Nattefrost: Blood & Vomit
I thought this wouldn't be too tough, but I had to edit a lot of super amazing albums out of this list. I tend to go for extreme metal, but also like some other stuff like punk or super girly pop. So... that's the bulk of my favorite albums.

I'm not sure if I've heard mainliner.. I've certainly heard of them. Definitely listened to acid mothers temple though. A lot of that cd only stuff from that era has North American vinyl reissues in the works. |

Eschaton however, was a fairly recent purchase (I got it a year or two ago, and it was my first Anaal Nawthrakh album), and it was pretty much love at first listen. I love how it's simultaneously really aggressive and intense, yet also riff-heavy and quite catchy to listen to. I tend to like bands that can pull that off (Myrkskog is another favorite of mine which does that). |

Hell is Empty is also like that, although I'd say the melodies that arise from all that chaos are even catchier and more memorable. The Final Absolution is a real earworm |

Truth be told, it's hard for me to find "actual music" that isn't hot pop garbage (pardon my language.) How so? It shouldn't be hard for anyone with the internet catalogueing every single album ever made. It's not as simple as looking at a huge list. Music requires hearing a decent sample, sampling takes time. Plus I think the music industry is stuck in a rather unpleasant zeitgeist... It's hard to explain without making me looking like a hipster. It's just easier for me to put on something familiar than wade through Pandora or SoundCloud overall. |

cambertian Well, you don't have to stick to modern music. I mean, it's so easy to find music you like. If you heard something somewhere and you liked it, you can instantly hear a full album to sample on YT. If you think you'd dig a certain genre, you can look at some notable/popular releases in said genre and sample those. Then from there on you can look for similar artists or genres, etc. It's really just a matter of having access to Google and Youtube.

And honestly link jumping on YouTube can take you to some really cool places. I've been starting to dig me some Funk Rock.
