Totally know the feeling! There is just never enough spare time for listening to records.

Eh, this thread is based entirely on personal opinions. I don't think that it would be possible to come up with 1001 "reasons" otherwise.

526. Taping an album back in the day, and flexing your artistic muscles, while trying to copy the band's logo on the cassette and the sleeve. Most of the times failing spectacularly.
527. The fact that bands as diverse as Saracen, Ethel The Frog, Venom Witchfynde and Handsome Beasts co-exist under the banner of NWOBHM.
528. No matter what, no metalhead will ever be able to listen to every Metal recording ever made. No lack of trying though.
529. Spinal Tap demonstrating many "flaws" of Metal, and loving them for it.

531. Listening for the first time to Candlemass' A Sorcerer's Pledge. A amazing epic song that signals the closure of a masterpiece. You think that it will end with a guitar melody. But, no, a wonderful female voice enters the scene, probably uninvited, welcome nevertheless , singing a haunting melody, that sends shivers down your spine and forcing your hair on the back of your neck to stand rigid. Years later, the result is the same. Every time,

532. "Embrace of the Dead" on Usurper's Skeletal Season finishing with a Tom G. Warrior death grunt, & then the very next song beginning with a death grunt.

Oh yes! My second favourite song after the Black Stone Wielder in EDM.

533. the fact that playing Parabellum at home can lose you friends but also that that same band is appreciated by other friends who hate Metal otherwise. Go figure...

Seconded.
The task was made even more difficult when you were skint and had to resort to recording over an old tape. You had to Tippex over the old logo then try and render the new logo over all those lumps & bumps. Usually with entirely illegible results. Ah, happy days.
