Board 8 > B8's 500 Favourite Albums: Cokes may snidely comment on this list, too!

(+) Yeah! (+)

First half of The Fame is tolerable and then it goes downhill really fast.

does that mean TKoL is Radiohead's lowest album on the chart, or was there one earlier that I missed?

The Bends and HttT are worse IMO

Yeah, TKoL was the lowest. Even though it's actually one of their best albums!

Ignoring Kanye's worst album and Killers garbage, this is a pretty solid group. I may not like the YYYs as much as I did in high school, but It's Blitz always proves worthwhile to go back to. Also, The Heart of Saturday Night is Waits' best album from the 70s.

can't even particularly hate on scenes from a memory placing highest (despite how hilariously bad it is) due to how much it awed me when i was 13

Three Iron Maiden albums and two Blind Guardian albums. I have no idea if they're in the right order, so speak up, metal fans!
Brave New World being on this list at all, much less that high, is pretty much undeniable evidence that board 8 is insane. Powerslave and The Number of the Beast are unsurprising, though Killers is better than either (but probably isn't on the list, unless I missed it lower). As for Blind Guardian, entirely predictable, Nightfall in Middle Earth is super overrated (extremely bloated with filler and crap).

--

And that's not "insane" in the "everyone on this board is an idiot" sense, that's "insane" in the "I'm so confused, I've never seen anyone actually have a strong opinion on that album before, what's going?" sense

Mistake you're making - overlooking the fact that we might not want to be saved.

If those are the only two Blind Guardian albums on the list, then A Night At The Opera is rightfully their best album (I bet Panthera will disagree.

As for Nightfall In Middle-Earth, discounting the filler story tracks, the last three songs are the worst three on the album which really hurts it in my eyes. Also the most popular songs on the album are overrated by the fanbase, especially because it overshadows the true great songs (Blood Tears, Thorn)

Will I ever! Follow The Blind > the rest. A Night at the Opera is the better of the two on the list though, it has less filler and fewer weak tracks and manages to push the cheesy, over the top dials so hard I can't help but be amused by it.
