Nice. You've all reminded me of some other good discs. I really like the new Agalloch. That Divine Heresy is surprisingly good as well. I just heard the new The Faceless 2 days ago, that's another one I'll have to pick-up. - Wed, 24 Dec 2008 4:24am

10) blacklisted - heavier than heaven, lonelier than god
9) off minor - some blood
8) fallout 3 soundtrack
7) crystal castles - st
6) young widows - old wounds
5) adventure - st
4) grave maker - bury me at sea
3) life long tragedy - runaways
2) megaman 9 soundtrack
1) loma prieta - last city

this stuff is what I've been jamming the most, over the last year. I realize that only six of these are "heavy", as is the topic of this music chitchat section, but sometimes you just have to jam out some video game music. know what I mean? - Wed, 24 Dec 2008 8:18am Edited: Wed, 24 Dec 2008 8:21am

Good choice Crumudgeon. My mom actually liked the original recording I just wish there was a little more King Diamond on that soundtrack.

O.K.

here's my two favorites this year:

Justin Townes Earl the Good Life

and The Mystic World of Agustus Pablo. The Rockers Story box set. 3 Cds of music one DVD of The best melodica
