PeterS Posted December 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Here's a not very helpful start. Loudwire list Only the Royal Blood likely to make mine. Did really enjoy that one. Each unto their own but somewhat surprised anybody would have two halestorm albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CureTheSane Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Imma get to this. Just did a search for '201' in my music folers and it turned up 493 albums. 50 a year, one a week. Probably pretty average numbers compared to others here, but I impressed myself Now I just need to filter throuugh them and refresh my memory. Will be a good exercise to refind music I really dug but ended up getting buried. Probably a couple of compilation MP2 mixes coming my way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each their own, but 'Crossfire's nowhere near those two, for me, personally. Awesome discography - I like all albums. But those first two are clear winners for me. From memory, I think you'd prefer my next 10 a lot more than my top 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit more balls in the bottom end, with some proper bass and heavier drums, and it would be close to a flawless album. I just love it - from start to finish it's just on a mission and doesn't let up. Makes for a superb album. I'm very comfortable calling it my favourite album of the last decade. 8 hours ago, Glen said: more to the point ISSA is the 4th best album of the decade lol. wouldn't have made my top 20 this year....which has been a weak year. The Issa thing isn't worth going back over. Like I said in the year of it's release, I love it. It's kind of like a Vega album without the inevitable filler for two. A little lighter (barely) and female vocals, but every bit as marvellous as Vega have ever been, and in my lonely opinion at least, just a little bit better. And spoiler alerts, doods, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to agree with your top 10's either, lol. It's just the different circles in which we roll.

Glen Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Well here it is......it's by no means an exact science. I think I'm pretty sure the brackets of 10 are accurate but in those brackets the albums could easily interchange on any given day. My top 10 is pretty much locked down though. it's no surprise that this list is dominated by just a few bands as I do truly believe that there have been a few absolute standout bands who have been consistently excellent over the last decade. So take a bow : HEAT, Work of Art, Degreed, Crazy Lixx, Vega & Eclipse - 6 amazing bands. My band of the decade though is Night Flight Orchestra. Who would have thought a bunch of death metal dudes could pull off retro early 80s AOR so brilliantly. Pure Genius, and fully deserve THREE albums in the top 10 and those albums were my favourites in their respective year of release. Amazing achievement imo. So here's the list of the last decade IMHO 1. NFO - Amber Galactic 2. HEAT - Address The Nation 3. Degreed - We Don't Belong 4. Work of Art - In Progress 5. NFO - Sometimes the World Ain't Enough 6. Eclipse - Bleed & Scream 7. Threshold - Legends of the Shire 8. Crazy Lixx - Bad Religion 9. NFO - Internal Affairs 10. Defiants - s/t 11. Boulevard - Luminescence 12. One Desire - s/t 13. Work of Art - Framework 14. Work of Art - Exhibits 15. Vega - Kiss of Life 16. Crashdiet - Generation Wild 17. Defiants - Zukusho 18. HEAT - Tearing Down The Walls 19. Degreed - Dead but not Forgotten 20. Eclipse - Monementum 21. Crazy Lixx - Ruff Justice 22. Vega - Stereo Messiah 23. White Widdow - Crossfire 24. Seven - 7 25. Toby Hitchcock - Mercury Down 26. Vega - What the Hell 27. WET - Rise Up 28. Destine - Illuminate 29. Destine - Forevermore 30. Midnite City - s/t 31. Treat - Coup de Grace 32. Steel Panther - Balls Out 33. Cats in Space - Too Many God's 34. Degreed - Life Loss Love 35. Eclipse - Armageddise 36. Degreed - s/t 37. First Signal - s/t 38. Pretty Maids - Pandemonium 39. HEAT - Into The Great Unknown 40. Harry Hess - Living in Yesterday 41. Don Vedda - s/t 42. Revolution Saints - Light in the Dark 43. HEAT - Freedom Rock 44. Crazy Lixx - Forever 45. Cats in Space - Narnia 46. Vega - Who We Are 47. The Magnificent - s/t 48. Wigelius - Tabula Rasa 49. Harem Scarem - United 50. Dynazty - Knock You Down 51. De La Cruz - Street Level 52. Reckless Love - s/t 53. Hardcore Superstar - Split Your Lip 54. WET - Earthrage 55. Midnite City - Neighbourhood 56. Tremonti - All I Was 57. JJS - Damage Control 58. Groundbreaker - s/t 59. Jimi Jamison - Never Too Late 60. Terry Brock - Diamond Blue 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
