That's right, my first classic review on this site will be picked by you, the forumites! Here's my classic list so far (black metal heavy, I know...) I'll probably get around to do them all eventually (apart from possibly Blue Blood, three X Japans in the classics may be a bit much...) If there's something you'd like me to do, tell me here. Oh, I know Heaven In Flames was on Zad's classic list, but he said I could do it.

None of them save for MR Immortal and Ulver actaully deserve classic status. That part of the site is being abused so people can review albums they love.

:P

i voted Crystal Logic but it's about tied with Red (if Pink Floyd have a classic review here then King Crimson deserve one)

Agreed.
Too many true classics are missing to throw in some bullshit like King Crimson. Seriously.
Venom - Black Metal
Celtic Frost - Morbid Tales
Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion
Coroner - Punishment For Decadence
Obituary - Slowly we Rot
Kreator - Pleasure To Kill
Slayer - Hell Awaits
S.O.D. - Speak English Or Die!
Destruction - Infernal Overkill
Mercyful Fate - Melissa
Carcass - Symphomies Of Sickness
Carcass - Necrotism...
Saxon - Strong Arm Of The Law
Motorhead - Another Perfect Day
Exciter - Heavy Metal Maniac
Tormentor - Anno Domini
Possessed - Seven Churches
Deicide - S/T
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Shit, I can go on for pages.

Agreed with those three even if I think King Crimson's Red is even more of a classic album... And, we're at Metal Reviews... :wink:

I don't think you guys realize how influential Blue Blood was. Plus it is one of my all time favorites.

Choices for the classics section definitely need to be restricted more.

S.O.D.? And King Crimson = bullshit? I agree with most of the rest of the list though. Most of the poll choices don't need to be classics.

No votes for Immortal? Surprising... From the way things are going it looks like I'll be doing Bergtatt for this week, got some ideas floating about for that anyway. S'pose Judas Iscariot are out of the running, I suppose that's something of the black sheep of my list anyway. Still a chance to cast a deciding vote!

Don't know enough about 80s metal to do much of the stuff Valefor suggested, sorry! Pretty much all those deserve reviews though, not just from me.

Anything in Bold is currently on my classic list, which is loooong and since I generally manage one about every three weeks, you'll just have to be patient...

Prog is not the music univerally accepted as the shit that destroyed metal. I don't care if it's good, grunge on this site is like shitting on your own face-you might enjoy it, but that doesn't make it fucking right.
