Yeah... We all have those. Unless you're stubborn as a mule or trying to pretend in order to look cool among your inner circle of friends who share roughly the same likes/ dislikes there's always that one track from a band you're not fond of that comes as an absolute - and pleasant - surprise...

Inspired by THIS post by @Collin, I thought it was cool to narrow the roster a bit. I also think that it's a cool way to see what people here listen to outside of metal. Obviously, a pertinent question is paramount from the get go: what is "Metal" and what is not. That I'll leave to each one...

Maiden is well known for their excellent artworks on every record cover (well, almost every one). Pick your six favorite ones from the list

Invasion: Ok, it's not a song from the album per se but IMO it should be (like Sanctuary, another excellent cut that gets lots of flak). Fast and aggressive early Maiden was certified gold and this one's not an exception. I simply can't understand all the hatred on this track. Prodigal Son: On...

Yes, it seems like a lot but, with almost 20 albums and many of them being top tier quality, it's way harder than it seems. Here is my favorite 40: Phantom Of The Opera Sanctuary Murders In The Rue Morgue Killers Genghis Khan The Number Of The Beast Revelations The Trooper Still Life To Tame A...

Let's see what songs you think are the must plays regarding several bands. It's not like they're your favorite half a dozen songs by each band but the ones you consider to be more iconic. Since this is also merely an exercise it doesn't matter if the a band can no longer pull song x or y live...

Self explanatory. Going to start this one with genres I am not too much attached. Let's kick it with Power Metal: Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 1 (1987): First and foremost obviously Helloween since a) they're arguably the creators of the entire thing b) are by far the genre's...

IRON MAIDEN - SENJUTSU: Senjutsu: 17 records and 41 years after their debut it's hard to predict how a Maiden album will boot. But this one seems to go really down the Samurai/ oriental war theme from the get go. It starts with tribal war drums mixed with shackles and some background effects to...

Ok... Let's see what all those metal gems around the world. I'll start: Hard Rock: Iberia - Deep Cuts The Knife (1990) Heavy Metal: V12 - Sinais Do Tempo (1989) Power Metal: Attic Demons - The Circle Of Light (2016) Thrash Metal: Ramp - Black Tie (1995) Death Metal: Sacred Sin -...

Ok it's time for Doom and Goth Metal. I will make the first era pretty extensive besides Sabbath there were few bands doing that genre (the majority of them came one decade after). So here we go: up to 1987 Black Sabbath - Black sabbath Black Sabbath - Paranoid Black Sabbath - Vol 4 Black...

Well it's time for Melodic Death Metal. It's a bit difficult to pick a consensus on the 4 biggest bands (some say it's the Gothenburg three plus Carcass while others claim to be Amorphis, Children Of Bodom, Amon Amrarth and Arch Enemy). So this time everyone's on! 1990 to 1994: Amorphis - Tales...

Well... I did the same Hard n'Heavy/ Power Metal and Thrash/ Speed Metal. So it's only fair to do the same for Death Metal. Metalsucks made a poll regarding "Death Metal's big 4" and the results were Death, Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel and Obituary. You can also include Mellow Scandinavian...

Well, after Thrash Metal it's only fair we do the same for Hard n' Heavy/ Power Metal. The Big 6 that won't be allowed are in this case: Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Metallica. Let's start in 1976 when the NWOBHM started to emerge. Prog Metal bands are...

Just wondering about what thrash albums you prefer regarding each era other than the classics by Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. Let's split it in 5 year interval and well... Stuff like crossover (Suicidal Tendencies, DRI, SOD) and Death Thrash (Sepultura, Morbid Saint, Protector) are...

Self explanatory. Here are mine: Paradise Lost - Obsidian (Doom/ Gothic Metal) PG. Lost - Oscilate (Post Rock) Iress - Flaw (Post Metal) Zeal And Ardor - Wake Of A Nation (Gospel/ Alternative/ Black Metal) Mark Lanegan - Straight Songs Of Sorrow (Alternative Rock) What's your list?

Self explanatory: IRON MAIDEN: Iron Maiden: Phantom Of The Opera, Sanctuary, Prowler Killers: Killers, Murders In The Rue Morgue, Wrathchild The Number Of The Beast: The Number Of The Beast, Run To The Hills, Invaders Piece Of Mind: Revelations, To Tame A Land, The Trooper Powerslave: Aces...

I think it's roughly something like this Aces High/ Rime Of The Ancient Mariner Wasted Years Revelations The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner Sign Of The Cross Phantom Of The Opera Powerslave Killers Infinite Dreams For The Greater Good Of God The Prophecy Murders In The Rue Morgue...

The title is self explanatory. Pick at least your top 10 if you're not kin into making the entire ranking. Here is the list: Invasion Burning Ambition Prowler Sanctuary Running Free Strange World Charlotte The Harlot Iron Maiden The Ides Of March Wrathchild Another Life Innocent Exile Ghengis...

Self explanatory. Try not to repeat songs (just pick the best version from a single edition): 40 - "Wasting Love": Maiden playing AOR power ballads? No way! And Bruce's voice sounds awful. Cool entering lead and solos. Other than that this Wasting Love is truly a waste of time. 39 - "From...

It's self explanatory. Pick from 15 to 19 songs. Here's my setlist: Montsegur The Duelists The Alchemist Face In The Sand Run Silent Run Deep Deja Vu Look For The Truth Fates Warning Alexander The Great Sun And Steel Mother Russia The Prophecy Isle Of Avalon Back In The Village Iron Maiden...
