Personal Top Lists & Rankings

Look, when it comes down to it, I'm a huge fan of Japanese culture first, and then maybe a bit of a Finn enthusiast😁

Noriaki Kasai🙏 🙏 🙏

Kazuyoshi Funaki🙏 🙏

Masahiko Harada🙏

Ugh, where's Pekka? I need him to explain something to you 🙄

😬

And besides, the US absolutely rules at hockey 🙂

Alright, look, you gotta root for the Japanese just like you do for the Finns, no question about it...

These are some of the best expressions out there, mostly used within my own family or maybe a tiny little circle of people I know.

Toplak
Kovataka
Setefatski
Dvoprug
Oteščilo
Ac ac
Podguzalo
Zabl

I really hope Jerry Mitchell62 sees this, he’d probably be able to recall all of this stuff too...

I hope Jerry Mitchell62 sees this; he’d definitely remember some of these...

And where's the spit?
And the uncle too.

Honestly.
I know I'm repeating myself 🙄, but what else can I say? I can boil my entire opinion down to just three words: "Look. Above. Avatar." 😁 😁

Aside from that—man, you really lean hard into those arguments. Where do you even stand on "other sports - ski jumping"?? 😛

d.zelig said:Metal
Total chaos. Honestly makes me want to barf (if that's even possible). Give me more riffs and less polish, please.

Look, you aren't really in a position to tell me what's good, especially since I'm pretty insulted that you're asking people who listen to college-rock garbage like Pixies for their opinion. You're either indie or punk—there is no middle ground here!

IMMORTAL - Battles in the North: THIS is the only real punk energy from the 90s, man.
Burzum - Philosopher: this is basically avant-rock.
At The Gates - Slaughter of The Soul - Slaughter of The Soul: this is straight-up pop, a chart-topper.
Entombed - Wolverine blues - Wolverine blues: basically the equivalent of some New York garage band, just pure death'n'roll.
Marduk - Panzer Division Marduk: the equivalent of Youth of Today—fast and brainless.
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger and Panzerfaust
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas and Wolf's Lair EP: DT and Mayhem are totally no wave.

If you don't dig Immortal, just quit black metal right now. Don't be a wimp.
Anyway, here are a few fast ones for you:
Usurper - Threshold of The Usurper
Anal Cunt - Morbid Florist
Death - Human
Threshold of The Usurper Anal Cunt - Morbid Florist Death - Human Bestial Warlust - Venegance war till death
Carcass - just the first one; Heartwork is for softies.
Obituary - Cause of death

If you lean more toward HC/punk, then just drop everything related to Scandinavia immediately, starting with Krigshot, Uncurbed, and then move on to Hellnation and, obviously, Wolfbrigade.

If you're more about Venom/Motörhead vibes, then go with High On Fire - Blessed black wings. Honestly, you should probably give that a spin if we ever cross paths.

oktopod said:Man, Vader—plus I think I still have some Polish demo lying around somewhere. Metal! 🙂

LOVE IT! 😍
though you're missing one major thing in that metal list 😉

honestly, maybe skip Impaled Nazarene if you can help it—that stuff is pretty much only for the hardcore 🙂

the American black metal essentials:
the classics like Satyricon—or maybe Nemesis Divin 😍 with that anthem Mother North, though Rebel Extravaganza is great too, that guy’s production is something else 😁
Immortal - Battles in the North... total game changer 🙂
Darkthrone - Panzerfaust
Enslaved - Eld
Marduk - Nightwing (SLAY THE NAZARENEEEE 🙂 )
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
Ulver - Nattens Madrigal
Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane

As for Morbid Angel, I guess Covenant is my favorite. Slow, but good. In rapture I'm reborn 🙂

Alex Rogers91, maybe slow down on the typing a bit, man 🙂--just a thought

Yeah, true enough...
I totally forgot
EMPEROR ~ In the Nightside Eclipse is one of those albums you just have to sit down and blast through. Aside from Burzum, it’s easily the most hardcore thing out there. The guitarist Samoth actually burned down a church right after the sessions wrapped up and ended up in the slammer, and then you've got the drummer Bard Eithun aka Faust who literally sacrificed a guy over at Olympic Park in Lillehammer. If that isn't pure metal, I don't know what is.

The absolute best forum fit:
1. Podmor :klap:

looking totally radiant at the local mallaaliyah - more than a womanwith three smiley faces

but seriously, where have you been hiding, man? what's keeping you from hanging out on the forum like everyone else? 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Raymond Barrett12 said:Yeah.

Besides that—man, if you're that intense about words, where the hell are you in "other sports - ski jumping"?? 😛

🙂

😁

I just don't feel like hanging around the sports section. I spent some time lurking in hockey, but man 🙄

Jim Draz James said:Is this actually happening... the electric guys are out...

Everyone's tied up at sixth place—so they just sorted them alphabetically. Honestly, someone should just tell them to change their name to Aeth Disco.

seriously though, where have you been hiding? what brings you back to the board just like that?

thanks honey 😘
no clue—I might have hidden my laptop in a cave... shhh 🙂

🙂

There she goes again, hanging out with all those bat-themed weirdos! 😈

come on, don't mess with me

bue said:My top 3 phone spammers:

1. BO-FROST

😂 haha, go ask Duck what he thinks about Bo-Frost 🤣 🤣 back in the day, they lived off nothing but those turkey medallions; his old lady absolutely loves Bo-Frost 😂

d.zelig said:Synth-Pop

I’m getting closer to a sound that actually works for me here, but still... I’d rather stay away from that ultra-fast shredding and disco floor screaming. No offense to the disco freaks. Hey Mainker, Orange, stormyviper11...

Can I throw in a synth-pop recommendation? It looks like you've been supplied with enough metal to last a lifetime 😬

Canada 😍 Eric Lindros 😍 😍

The top 5 hottest hockey players I can think of right now:

Not a bad start! Honestly, some people wouldn't even know that one.😬

Good grief... how did this turn into a battle of black metal subgenres versus everyone’s personal Top 40 lists? 🤔

Ugh, seriously, Eric 🙂
is gorgeous.
Did you catch that one commercial he was in? It was this black-and-white thing that used to run on ESPN during the World Championships a few years back. Honestly, I could practically predict when they were going to air it—I actually have it recorded somewhere. 😳 😍
