Well here it is. The Cheezy Classic TOP 10 ALBUMS that you find on every single forum worldwide. A must for any forum of course.

I will start that ball of Doom with my list, if YOU have nothing better to do than follow my lead, well go right ahead.

Not necessarely in that order:
-CANDLEMASS: Epicus Doomicus Metalicus
-CANDLEMASS: Nightfall
-CANDLEMASS: Ancient Dreams
-CANDLEMASS: Tales of Creation
-CANDLEMASS: King of te Grey Island
-SOLITUDE AETURNUS: Into the Depths of Sorrow
-SOLITUDE AETURNUS: Alone
-PROCESSION: The Cult of Disease
-DOOMSHINE: Thy Kingdom Come
-SOLSTICE: Lamentations

That list may be modified depending on what I will eventually find...

Good choice for a topic. I will try and post mine soon but it wont be easy. I have a hard time with a top 100.

Everybody else post your top 10 here.

I'll offer these 10, in no particular order - except that Solitude Aeturnus albums would be my first, the Candlemass albums second and the others thereafter in a sequence determined by my mood at the time:

SOLITUDE AETURNUS – Into the Depths of Sorrow
SOLITUDE AETURNUS – Beyond the Crimson Horizon
SOLITUDE AETURNUS – Through the Darkest Hour
CANDLEMASS – Epicus Doomicus Metalicus
CANDLEMASS – King of the Grey Islands
CANDLEMASS – Nightfall
FORSAKEN – After the Fall
ALL SOULS DAY – Into the Mourning
ISOLE – Silent Ruins
FUNERAL - From these Wounds

Almost impossible for me to make a top 10 in terms of the best albums so here is the ten albums that mean the most to me in doom metal. The top ten albums that turned me into a doom nut forever. Subject to change of course.

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality
Cathedral - Forest Of Equilibrium
Electric Wizard - Come My Fanactics
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metalicus
Saint Vitus - Saint Vitus
Saint Vitus - Born Too Late
Solitude Aeturnus - Alone
Trouble - Psalm 9
Pagan Altar - Volume 1 *

* If this album was released in the early '80s, as it was originally intended to, instead of 1998, Pagan Altar could have been a household name. I was lucky enough to get a cassette tape of it around 1985 and always thought it was just a demo. Never knew it was a proper album but never released.

Here are some of my favorites I've been jamming a lot lately:

Coven- Witchcraft Destroys Minds and Reaps Souls
Black Sabbath- Sabotage
Shrinebuilder- ST
Pentagram- First Daze Here
Electric Wizard- Dopethrone
Sleep- Sleep's Holy Mountain
Witchcraft- ST
Witchfinder General- Death Penalty
Blood Ceremony- ST
Acid Witch- Witchtanic Hellucinations

oh the hardest question...

my top 10 Doom albums:
Pentagram Relentless
Pagan Altar Volume 1
Acid King Zoroaster
Corrupted Paso Inferior Lp
Electric Wizard Come My Fanatics...
Burning Witch Crippled Lucifer
Thorr's Hammer Dommedagsnatt
Eyehategod Dopesick
Worship Last Tape Before Doomsday
Boris Absolutego

...most listened doom (& related) albums of last decade.

There is some awesome albums on that list bro. Burning Witch's "Crippled Lucifer" is one of my favorite doom albums ever.

Yeah that is why Southern Lord get the "hipster label" term from some people. I don't see much point in re-issuing albums all the time. I have bought the album twice myself so i won't be buying it again, by all means keep it in circulation but leave it at that. I was very critical of the re-release of Sleep's Holy Mountain for that reason, it served to no purpose except as a money grab for the label and offer nothing extra for the fans.

Top 10 Doom Metal albums, in alphabetical order, one album per band, no Black Sabbath included, just because!

Black Hole - Land Of Mystery
Candlemass - Nightfall
Cathedral - Forest of Equilibrium
Mourn - s/t
Paul Chain Violet Theater - Detaching From Satan
Pentagram - Day Of Reckoning
Saint Vitus - s/t
Solitude Aeturnus - Into The Depths Of Sorrow
Solstice - New Dark Age
Trouble - Psalm 9

Great albums on all these lists but to be honest i hate making lists like these. Its like the top 40 albums of the year list that happens every December or January, i make mine but i always change my mind about certain albums. Music has always been about what state of mind i am in at a given time so its hard to pick favorites.

Not in any order and there are so many others that i would like to include. If i had to choose a favourite it would probably be The Skull mainly because the tracks "The Skull" & "Pray for the Dead" are just perfect.

Trouble - Psalm 9
Trouble - The Skull
Trouble - Run To The Light
Cirith Ungol - King Of The Dead
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality
Black Sabbath - Born Again
Black Sabbath
Saint Vitus
Witchfinder General - Death Penalty

faith no more-angel dust
metallica-master of puppets
pantera-vulgar display of power
sunn o)))-white 1 and the demo
saint vitus-born to late
the doors-any album
frank zappa-any album
pink floyd-the wall
rackets & drapes-trick or treat
type o negative-world coming down

I have made my top 10 doom list which I don't think I can change too much so here is 10 albums outside of Doom that changed my life, in no particular order.

Black Sabbath - every album they made in the 70's !!
Deep Purple - In Rock
Jimi Hendrix - Are you Experienced
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All
Alice Cooper - Killer
Hawkwind - Space Ritual
Motorhead - Overkill
Mahivisnu Orchestra - Birds Of Fire
Budgie - In For The Kill

Many more of course but just 10 for the sake of it.

Ahh... Deep Purple in Rock is one of the best albums ever made...

There's also many classical 70's albums which I can't stop playing at least once a month

- Motörhead Ace of Spades
- Motörhead Bomber
- The Who Tommy
- The Who Who's Next
- Neil Young Harvest
- The Stooges Fun House
- The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers
- Leonard Cohen New Skin for the old Ceremony
and of course
- Led Zeppelin IV
(about Led Zep, to me Dazed and Confused can be considered as one of the first Doom songs ever made... Just listen to the riffs)

I also see that some of you mentioned Pink Floyd. They've done so many amazing albums, but my favorite one is also the most under rated. I know that most of you won't agree with me but The Final Cut is the best one.
Roger Waters has never been so haunted and tortured by his father's death in Anzio during World War II than on this record. The enhanced version of the record which includes When the Tiger's broke free (originally featuring on The Wall movie) is a true masterpiece.

I love all of those records too except for The Rolling Stones, I could never get into them apart from a few songs and I agree about Dazed And Confused.........very doomy riff on that one.

Wow, what a hard list to compile...

Reverend Bizarre - Harbinger of Metal (Not an album, I know. Neither is the Nemesis, but these two get spun so often that I had to mention them)
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Pagan Altar - Volume 1
Minotauri - II
Pentagram - Relentless
Warning - Watching From a Distance
Saint Vitus - Saint Vitus
Black Sabbath - S/T
Nemesis - The Day of Retribution
Cirith Ungol - King of the Dead

(Hate having to miss out Revelation - Release, Black Hole - Land of Mystery and Jex Thoth - S/T!!!!!)

1. Paradise Lost - Gothic
2. My Dying Bride - Songs of Darkness, Words of Light
3. Anathema - The Crestfallen
4. Morgion - Cloaked by Ages, Crowned in Earth
5. Lacrimas Profundere - Burning: A Wish
6. Mourning Beloveth - The Sullen Sulcus
7. Novembers Doom - The Knowing
8. Officium Triste - Ne Vivam
9. Avernus - Sadness
10. Katatonia - Brave Murder Day

My top 10 doom list would probably look like this:

Katatonia - Dance of December Souls
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Trouble - Psalm 9
dISEMBOWELMENT - Transcendence Into the Peripheral
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
Cathedral - Forest of Equilibrium
Evoken - Embrace the Emptiness
Burning Witch - Crippled Lucifer
Esoteric - Epistemological Despondency
Unholy - The Second Ring of Power

I hate top 10 lists, I have to do a top 100 just to fit most of my favorites in and even then I would have to leave out some classics.

Yeah, I tend to listen to music according to mood so my favorites change daily. Every year I do a best albums of the year list, I gave up on the top 10 idea, I think last year it finished up being a top 50 ha ha.

Music is very subjective, something you love today you may not listen to at all in 6 months time and vice-versa.
