I understand why, it isn't galling to have some include Frozen Corpse... in a metal list because it's totally banging and similarly I wouldn't bitch about someone slipping Codex Necro into a punk list, but there's a lot more reason to leave AN and PD out than there is to exclude Boris.

Yeah I was kind of leaving it unspoken that I wouildn't really put grindcore on a metal list. Though in my opinion, grind (and to a lesser extent crust) are very crossovery. There are albums from both genres that I would certainly call metal; aesthetics and attitudes come into the equation for me. I wouldn't put them on such a list though, because they're a bit of a sideshow, if you see what I mean. Similiarly the other way round, there are certain black metal albums especially that are punk as fuck, but I wouldn't put them on any punk lists.
@Dovey: Why wouldn't you have thought I would like that album? I guess I don't bang on about my love of prog much, because it's kind of embarrasing, but hey.
evilbobthebob:
I think the metal list is really just a 'heavy guitar playing bands' list...admittedly some of the bands aren't even that heavy, but then compare them to the main list...
Not that I profess to know anything at all about metal.

Okay, having read all the way through instead of the first couple of pages, putting aside fact that a number of the people on this list I've only heard of on this forum and barely anywhere else, are you seriously telling me that Devin The Dude, Dirty Projectors, The Coup, Grizzly Bear, Clinic, Clipse and Madvillain are all well-known artists?
E. Spaceman:
Uh, pretty much all of them yeah.
I mean, i think Devin The Dude, The Coup and Dirty Projectors and Clinic have not had much chart success compared to the others listed who I am pretty sure all have had top 40 albums but they are all pretty well known.
Thrillho:
Top 40 albums where?
Is the AV Club an American publication? Because a lot of American groups tend to totally drop off the radar elsewhere and vice versa.
