Hawks 05.03.25	Been meaning to get into Black Flag for years.
RVAHC13 05.03.25	I still like them though I don’t listen as much as I used to
Hawks 05.03.25	A song from them came on my shuffle the other day and I loved it. Can't remember what it was called though lol.

Epilogue 05.03.25	In no particular order: Alora Crucible Ulcerate Street Sects JPEGMAFIA The Weeknd GlassJAw Dillinger Escape Plan Chelsea Wolfe Loma Prieta clipping.
Hawks 05.03.25	Interesting and varied. Very nice!
ScuroFantasma 05.03.25	Awesome list Hawks, we have some overlap too. This is difficult but probably something like: 1. Blue Oyster Cult 2. Sepultura 3. Mastodon 4. Disturbed 5. Burzum 6. Opeth 7. Queens of the Stone Age 8. Darkthrone 9. Kanye West 10. Ghost
Hawks 05.03.25	Thanks brother!! Gotta be honest, did not know you were that big of a Disturbed fan lol.
brickhed 05.03.25	rating discogs is the new trend and dammit is it good Non Extreme Metal Bisbaye Yowie Autechre (early) Behold... The Arctopus Merzbow (early) Nimal Ruins Henry Threadgill VGA Host Breadwinner Butterglove Extreme Metal: Ages Gone Wormphlegm diSEMBOWLMENT (early) Unholy Gorguts Veiled Morbidity Disgorge (Mex) Demilich Disharmonic Orchestra Lost Soul Encenatharkh (early) SikFuk Timeghoul done in no real order, a lot of bands i tend to like the same as others
Hawks 05.03.25	Friggin nice work. I really gotta jam Wormphlegm.
budgie 05.03.25	brickhead what kind of music do u like i cant tell
Hawks 05.03.25	Looks like he likes good music for the most part.
brickhed 05.03.25	"brickhead what kind of music do u like i cant tell" outside of a ton of death metal subgenres theres IDM, noise rock, brutal prog, harsh noise, and some avant-garde jazz to top stuff off death metal wise it ranges from death doom to goregrind/BDM. i listen to all kinds of stuff.
Hawks 05.03.25	That's the way to be tbh.
ScuroFantasma 05.03.25	> Gotta be honest, did not know you were that big of a Disturbed fan lol. They were my first favourite band, when music went from a background thing to an obsession. I still jam them regularly too, but more than anything they were my gateway to metal and becoming a music lover in general.
budgie 05.03.25	wats brutal prog
brickhed 05.03.25	search it up you're on the interbutts
budgie 05.03.25	ILL NEVER DO THAT NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Flashmobba 05.03.25	wowza, I haven’t thought of this in a while, but as of late Radiohead Deftones Queens of the Stone Age A Tribe Called Quest Tool NIN Massive Attack Depeche Mode Unwound Led Zeppelin
Hawks 05.03.25	Awesome choices and glad to get you thinking!
DoofDoof 05.03.25	The The Tindersticks The Stranglers Lambchop David Bowie Radiohead Nirvana American Music Club Destroyer The National
Hawks 05.03.25	Ily Doof good to see you!
EphemeralEternity 05.03.25	I always thought CoF were a meme band for some reason. I guess I'll check em out
Hawks 05.03.25	You thought wrong my brother lol.
EphemeralEternity 05.03.25	I think I saw some silly video with danni filth and just assumed they weren't a band to be taken seriously but I just seen their ratings and well I stand erected
Hawks 05.03.25	You'll be erected when you jam them.
budgie 05.03.25	doofy more like pOOPY HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Hawks 05.03.25	No Doof slander in my thread!
budgie 05.03.25	i like doof more than U DO!!!!!!!!
Hawks 05.03.25	That is just false.
budgie 05.03.25	my phone background is a doof selfie
Hawks 05.03.25	Lmaoooo
Dedes 05.03.25	1-10 Counterparts But after that it's Insomnium Agalloch Panopticon Immolation Katatonia Nujabes Primordial Converge And uhhhhhhhh idk man maybe There Will Be Fireworks???? Fallujah and Saor prolly 3 way tie for 10th this hurts my miniscule number of brain cells
Hawks 05.03.25	All fantastic choices except for Fallujah my brother!
zakalwe 05.03.25	The Beatles Nirvana The Smiths R.E.M The Who Oasis The Clash Pink Floyd Radiohead Mogwai
EphemeralEternity 05.03.25	wait Oasis have two 4.1 albums? I thought they were another band that wasn't really taken seriously. Guess I should give them a fair listen as well
zakalwe 05.03.25	It’s the package that maketh the band
Dedes 05.03.25	The Smiths are good but I feel like they never struck me as super distinctly memorable Like How Soon is Now rules But otherwise they kind of elude me although it's been years since I've jammed tbh
Ectier 05.03.25	Thats the right Opeth at the top. My Dying bride is up there for me Opeth My dying Bride Agalloch Dillinger Amenra Cult of Luna I cant think atm
Titan 05.03.25	You can control the radio on a road trip Hawks
gabba 05.03.25	The Cure Radiohead Joy Division Swans Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Sonic Youth David Bowie Coil PJ Harvey Einstürzende Neubauten
Ladron93 05.03.25	I like Opeth and Ulver on your list, Hawks. As for my top 10 bands I love listening to, well: Depeche Mode The Cure (Disintegration) Aphex Twin (SAW Volume 2) Slowdive Cocteau Twins Judas Priest Prefab Sprout (Steve McQueen) Hangman's Chair Mareux 10* Saigon Blue Rain
jrlikestodance 05.03.25	Prob would go: Primus Ween Poison the Well Every Time I Die The Dillinger Escape Plan Converge Wu-Tang Nine Inch Nails Defeated Sanity Streetlight Manifesto But really this could change any moment. Unwound is in the running!
tectactoe 05.03.25	This probably requires more in depth thought/analysis to get a totally fortified answer but, off the top of my head: 1. John Coltrane 2. Swans 3. Fugazi 4. Sonic Youth 5. Talk Talk 6. David Bowie 7. This Heat 8. Radiohead 9. Ornette Coleman 10. The Smiths 11. Bjork 12. King Crimson 13. The National 14. Can 15. Miles Davis 16. Tim Buckley 17. Mount Eerie / Microphones 18. Glenn Branca 19. Deathspell Omega 20. Captain Beefheart
Hendoi 05.03.25	David Bowie The Beatles Stereolab Prefabsprout Big Star
Demon of the Fall 05.03.25	I’ll state my “instinctive” top 10 and then because I’m a massive nerd, will try and come up with a mathematical formula for working this out properly later on (see if it aligns). Portishead (not accurately ranked but this is #1) Neurosis ISIS Cult of Luna Stereolab The Gathering Oxbow Slowdive Joanna Newsom Nick Cave Honourable: Cocteau Twins, Bjork, The Field, Xiu Xiu, Gorguts, Death, Blonde Redhead, Boards of Canada, John Coltrane, The Dillinger Escape Plan Legacy: Radiohead, Opeth, Converge, The National, Sigur Ros (i.e. likely not top 10 candidates anymore, but I have fond feelings) Okay, that was ridiculously hard and probably totally wrong idk, may edit lol
Zac124 05.03.25	10. Mr. Bungle 9. Opeth 8. Deafheaven 7. Iron Maiden 6. Agalloch 5. Children of Bodom 4. Caligula's Horse 3. Faith No More 2. In Flames 1. The Dillinger Escape Plan Made this list off the top of my head so probably inaccurate
Ladron93 05.03.25	Nice picks, Demon. Portishead, Neurosis, Stereolab and Boards of Canada are the ones I like listening to. There's another one who loves Prefab Sprout, nicey.
artificialbox 05.03.25	it changes all the time but probably somethin like this 1. Unwound 2. Thursday 3. Touche Amore 4. Fugazi 5. O'Brother 6. Silver Jews 7. Hum 8. Paramore 9. SeeYouSpaceCowboy 10. Kidcrash
Hawks 05.03.25	Love seeing all the variety in here bros! Good work!
AnimalForce1 05.03.25	I’ll need to do some thinking because my list changes constantly. The only constant is Rush being my number 1
Hawks 05.03.25	Another reminder to jam more Rush!!!
AnimalForce1 05.03.25	I will be annoying as all hell about it LMAO
Hawks 05.03.25	Noooo not at all bro. Same way I am about Cradle lol.
Rowhaus 05.03.25	Changes all the time, but here's what I got (for now): 1. Immolation 2. Slayer 3. Motorhead 4. Hum 5. Thievery Corporation 6. Immortal 7. The Cure 8. Cult of Luna 9. Defeated Sanity 10. Chimaira
Hawks 05.03.25	Hell yeah Row!! Great choices.
Icebloom 05.03.25	Hmm good question. I'd say: 1. The National 2. Mark Kozelek (Sun Kil Moon/Red House Painters) 3. Sigur Rós 4. Swans 5. Carissa's Wierd 6. Jason Molina (Songs:Ohia/Magnolia Electric Co.) 7. Slowdive/Mojave 3 8. Ruby Haunt 9. Sufjan Stevens 10. Portico Quartet
Rowhaus 05.03.25	Thanks breh you too! Super tough to narrow it down honestly. I've been on a major hip-hop bender these last few days and I'd definitely put Dalek and Cunninlynguists in my honorable mentions.
Hawks 05.03.25	Hell of a pick for #1 bro! Love Sufjan's whole discog too. Gotta say though, I think Carissa's Wierd is super overrated lol.
Hawks 05.03.25	CunninLynguists are soooooo damn good.
Rowhaus 05.03.25	Easily my favorite discovery of the year. The whole discog is so damn consistent too. Just can't get enough of it ugh
Hawks 05.03.25	Top 3 hip-hop group ever with Bone Thugs and Mobb Deep for me. UGK and Three 6 Mafia would round out the top 5. OutKast right outside at #6 lol. Damn so many amazing groups.
ReiniEden 05.03.25	Martin Grech Baths Author & Punisher Pinback Oceansize / Vennart Björk TesseracT Susumu Hirasawa Mournful Congregation Xiu Xiu Honerable Mention because they became a recent strong favorite: HIM
NexCeleris 05.03.25	Even I have heard of and listened to the Lynguists. Incredibly consistent.
Hawks 05.03.25	They really are consistent as hell. Can't wait for their new one.
Jurtz 05.03.25	1. Cannibal Corpse 2. Deeds of Flesh 3. Dying Fetus 4. Nile 5. Artificial Brain 6. Defeated Sanity 7. Thou 8. Meshuggah 9. Judas Priest 10. Disentomb
MillionDead 05.03.25	Tec has the best assortment of mentions so far. Lot of heat getting dropped in the thread though
Hawks 05.03.25	Lot of heat getting dropped in the thread [2]
Jurtz 05.03.25	I had to update mine, but still it's so hard to make a top 10, so many amazing bands!
evilford 05.03.25	Based thou & meshuggah picks jurtz

Goodolboy 05.03.25	How has no one had Metallica or iron maiden yet lol Metallica 1 Death 2 Tool 3 Meshuggah 4 Judas priest 5 Gojira 6 Ulcerate 7 Morbid angel 8 Iron maiden 9 Amon Amarth 10 Honorable mentions. Cannibal corpse,slayer, immolation
evilford 05.03.25	I jammed Ænima in full yesterday. Just as great as I remember.
Hawks 05.03.25	God I hate Tool lol.
Goodolboy 05.03.25	A 10/10 yeah. Tool has been a top 3 band for a decade for me and till this day I can't fully make up my mind between aenima or lateralus lol. Prob lateralus

jrlikestodance 05.03.25	Tool and Radiohead are the most overrated bands of all time. Some good tracks tho
Dedes 05.03.25	@sr388 Headlock m/m/m/ whole album is so lush and makes for perfect summer night jams Rn it's Carly Rae Jespen hour tho

Hawks 05.04.25	Lmao
MillionDead 05.04.25	I could never pick just 10 favorite bands. My heart is too big.
Hawks 05.04.25	Fair enough buddy lol.
Chippe 05.04.25	What's best varies and a couple of bands are here more for earlier impact on my music development/deterioration than actual listening today. My cronologish list with two unnamed honorary mentions: Pink Floyd Marillion Rush Faith no more Fields of the nephilim Opeth Isis Agalloch Enslaved Moonsorrow Fen Kauan
Hawks 05.04.25	Very nice Chippe bro!!
Donchivo 05.04.25	Morbid Angel Miles Davis Monster Magnet King Crimson Ulcerate John Zorn Dissection Bolt Thrower Monstrosity Bruce Springsteen
budgie 05.04.25	chippie that is liTERALlly the worst list i have ever seen in my life
Chippe 05.04.25	Thanks bud
budgie 05.04.25	😊
FearThyEvil 05.04.25	Well of course sput broke when I posted mine so I'll do it again 1. Every Time I Die 2. Converge 3. State Faults 4. Daughters 5. Ulcerate 6. Cult of Luna 7. Zao 8. Opeth 9. Deftones 10. Swans Tbh there's a few here that can swap out now and again with some others but the top 6 are 100 percent in my top 10. Not ranked btw but the top 6 are solidified, the other 4 sometimes get swapped for like Tool/Chevelle/Rage Against the Machine etc. ETID is my absolute fav currently though.
DoofDoof 05.04.25	If I went metal/hard rock bands only: Metallica Megadeth Sepultura Godflesh Ministry Blut Aus Nord Kyuss Paradise Lost Slayer Helmet Bubbling under: Bathory, Entombed, Killing Joke, Esoctrihilum, Neurosis, Coldworld, Prong, Veilburner, Motorhead
budgie 05.04.25	ok doof that is literaLLYL the best list i have ever seen in my life
DoofDoof 05.04.25	I know, we are almost musical twins, maybe I’m a parakeet
budgie 05.04.25	maybe im a doofie
DoofDoof 05.04.25	That could work
Hawks 05.04.25	Nice bros!! Frigg off Budg.
Sharenge 05.04.25	I was gonna play but got frustrated trying to formulate a definitive list of 10 you can check my last.fm all time or look at my 4.5s and 5s to get an idea if you want
Hawks 05.04.25	Awwwwww come on!!!! Lol
Donchivo 05.04.25	Yeah, doing a top 10 of artists is really tough, more tough than I thought and I am not really happy with mine, quite some are missing and some which are constantly amazing but I kinda keep on asking myself if weaker albums shpuld be taking them out of my top 10 or not?
Hawks 05.04.25	It definitely is not easy lol.
Donchivo 05.04.25	@scuro: I love that BÖC pic, incredible band!!!
HooperD87 05.05.25	This is honestly way harder than I thought it would be. So many bands out there that I love a few albums from and don't enjoy the rest of their discography. In no order: Radiohead Elliott Smith Dillinger Opeth Boards of Canada Tool (yeah yeah, whatever. Undertow-Lateralus is an amazing three album run) Mike Patton Fiona Apple ETID Greyhaven (assuming their next album is on par with their other work) Probably be 3-4 different bands on there if you asked me tomorrow lol
Hawks 05.05.25	Nice!! Yeah its definitely hard to narrow down lol. Oh and one more thing.........Tool blows.
twlight 05.05.25	Meshuggah Steely dan Elliott Smith Every time I die Hammock Deftones M83 Sorrow (UK) Tame Impala Rush
Hawks 05.05.25	Nice variety buddy!
budgie 05.05.25	literally the worst top 10 i have ever seen in my life
Hawks 05.05.25	Frigg off Barb!!!

Hawks 05.05.25	LMAO NICE.
HooperD87 05.05.25	Not as much as Cradle hehe
Hawks 05.05.25	Cradle best band of all time hands down yeah.
HooperD87 05.05.25	Lol yeah I like Cradle. Not as much as you obviously but they good.
Hawks 05.05.25	Yes they are for sure.
0GuyMan0 05.09.25	Hrrm probably something like this. I probably thought too hard about a distinction between "band" and "discog" or "album" etc but w/e this is off the cuff. 1-2-3 pretty much stone but the rest is on a whim. 1. Queensryche 2. Cult of Luna 3. Iron Maiden 4. Tool 5. Cradle of Filth 6. Every Time I Die 7. Gojira 8. Black Sabbath 9. Metallica 10.Opeth
Hawks 05.09.25	Frigg yeah bro nice list.
AlexKzillion 05.09.25	jfc uhhhhh (strictly bands) metallica between the buried and me periphery glassjaw dream theater the dillinger escape plan the national rush every time i die avenged sevenfold???????? top 6 is pretty locked in... the rest i'm not so solid on
Hawks 05.09.25	A few I love and a few I hate. Playing with my emotions Alex!!
ibecryst 05.10.25	Such a hard question to answer, what with all the many styles that have been shared with me by so many different people. I'll give it a run, though the order is alphabetical not by love of artist. Agalloch Between the Buried and Me Brand New Gris King Crimson Pink Floyd Maudlin of the Well Miles Davis Quintet (First) / Miles Davis Sextet Moonsorrow The Ruins of Beverast
Hawks 05.10.25	Awesome list!!
ibecryst 05.10.25	Thanks, man. Got my love of 60s & 70s music from my old man, and my love of jazz from my older brother. But black metal was all me! Definitely going to check out some of your list, especially Ulcerate. Always heard positive things about their discography.
Hawks 05.10.25	You've never jammed Ulcerate???? Everything is Fire is the best dm album ever made. Jam it asap!!!
ibecryst 05.10.25	Sadly, no. I'll have to rectify that over the coming week. I have a feeling my gym sessions are going to be heavy!
Hawks 05.10.25	Please jam it and let me know your thoughts!
Jash 05.10.25	Billy Woods Ka Joni Mitchell Boards of Canada Godspeed You! Black Emperor Laura Stevenson Radiohead Do Make Say Think The National Tyler The Creator
Hawks 05.10.25	Damn bro I didn't realized you loved Tyler that much! I didn't include rappers in my own list or Bizzy Bone and Chief Keef would've made it for sure.
Confessed2005 05.10.25	Converge Pig Destroyer Meshuggah Cult of Luna Isis Poison the Well Opeth Deftones State Faults Deafheaven
Hawks 05.10.25	Awesome list!!
Inveigh 05.12.25	Corrosion of Conformity Morbid Angel Thin Lizzy Deftones Type O Negative Faith No More Metallica Poison the Well Ulcerate AC/DC obviously there's a hundred other bands i want to include. Top 10 is so tough. But considering the entirety of my life + current listening staples, thats the 10 I'll roll with. Really hate leaving off Sabbath, Floyd, Soundgarden, Death, Neurosis, Opeth, Megadeth, Slayer, The Cure, Clutch... too many to name.
