09.17.21 | It is a Doof metal list it was always going to be strange - so to emphasise I haven't picked the 'most metal' pick I happen to like, literally the first album with a 'metal' tag on RYM I've rated highest for each year.
Interesting most of my favourite metal bands featured...but sometimes not their best album due to relative weaker and stronger years for me (see: Iron Maiden, Katatonia, Blut Aus Nord, Torche, Opeth, Slayer, Carcass, etc)
Still a long way to go but 1000 ratings is a start. |

09.17.21 | Unfortunate not to feature: Godflesh, Neurosis, Deftones, Korn, Death, Pantera, Burzum, Emperor, Kyuss, Paradise Lost, Prong
Probably should have done two entries for every year thinking about it... |

09.17.21 | Interesting list. I could never come up with an album from any one genre for each year. |

09.17.21 | JKing - I think Deep Purple are classed as hard rock on RYM so I broke my rules a bit there, those were the only years I struggled to find anything |

09.17.21 | Factual list |

09.17.21 | Eh, I don't listen to much Deep Purple, so no comment from me on that front. 😉
While I couldn't do every year from '70 onwards with any one genre, I am able to pick out one rock album from each year of the '70s and '90s that I just love:
'70s:
1970: Paranoid
1971: Led Zeppelin IV
1972: Ziggy Stardust
1973: Dark Side of the Moon
1974: 461 Ocean Boulevard
1975: Wish You Were Here
1976: Station to Station
1977: Animals
1978: Heroes
1979: The Wall
'90s:
1990: Ritual de lo Habitual
1991: Nevermind
1992: Dirt
1993: In Utero
1994: Downward Spiral
1995: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
1996: Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop
1997: OK Computer
1998: Mechanical Animals (*)
1999: The Fragile (*)
(*) = NOT my all-time favorite album of that year, simply my favorite rock album of that year |

09.17.21 | Interesting list for sure. Props for having Rock City on there, but I'm particularly intrigued by you having Ocean Machine. Based on our discussion about Empath I was under the impression that you disliked Devin Townsend. |

09.17.21 | A lot of all time favourites for me on that list JKing |

09.17.21 | Sitar - I’m very picky with Devin but that album works well, I like some of his SYL output too and a few other solo songs |

Muzz79
09.18.21 | Nice list Doof. I’m certainly with you on a lot of your 80’s and 90’s picks, and Sabbath of course. I’m also a bm dude more than dm |
