The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

I've yet to read an important topic here that doesn't end up in a rant about something else entirely.

It'll also take a while to find those albums as they're the only Sabbath albums not getting regular reprints. As a matter of fact I only own the vinyl versions of some of the TM albums.

I can't think of any 'imporant' albums I haven't at least heard once. Maybe someone needs to tell me what the important albums are.

The way I personally interpret the word 'important' in this thread is an album that is quite influential, something that created a whole new genre and inspired hundreds of bands to start playing. Not something that everybody should necessarily like though.

I tried looking up influential and important albums on the web and the only ones I didn't listen to where the post 1990 stuff and some black or death metal I don't really care about. I guess I covered the basics.

I don't think I've heard Grave Digger - War Games(as mentioned by Herkus Monte) though, but I don't consider them that influential.

Indeed. This was part of the point I was making on the first page of this thread.

For me: Seven Churches also. Bathory debut. Several Motörhead records. Never listened through an album by Led Zeppelin or Thin Lizzy or AC/DC. Never heard most Deep Purple records. Thankfully I have avoided a couple of Kiss albums, I wish I had avoided all of them.

Does this mean you've heard all of Kiss' albums but two?

I'd think it's illegal in Sweden to pass this album, someone call the cops!

That's a shame, it's not seminal stuff like the 70s albums but, still, and despite their more commercial edge, there are so many amazing songs in those albums.

BOLT THROWER , DISMEMBER , UNLEASHED (Lots of Sverige DM back in a day.I hated that "special" guitar sound) ASPHYX.

Ha, quite a few Priest records, Motorhead, Ac/Dc, Maiden post Fear of the Dark, some King Diamond records. And I can't imagine why that would be except that what I already have in my collection is more than enough for me to listen to!
