A statement.
Judas Priest - Firepower.
Early album of the year candidate.
Verbs not needed in this post.

I've seen this like a marriage and three kids ago.

I don't think I followed any "fad band" massively. The ones I am a fanatic about I slowly grew into being one. At least ten albums in. Usually more.
The ones whose debut or sophomore releases I loved were always more like "hey, this is cool, I'll keep an eye on these kids in case they keep it up". Then 15 years later once I've collected every single and studio and live CD, I kind of quietly realize that I think I kind of... love... the music these guys put out. And from there on, it will be true unconditional love till forever.
Mostly because at that point an always marginal band is not going to sell out or change their sound anymore. They understand what I understand - that THIS is the best kind of music that can ever be made.
-
I think they should go on forever. Like a sports team or a philharmonic orchestra.

Yeah, that sucks. Parkinson's will get you eventually, but maybe there's some more songwriting left in him. I wouldn't mind Priest continuing another decade with Faulkner/Sneap playing and Tipton writing.
Hell, bring back Owens if need be. A new generation of Judas Priest. I don't want the band to die.

Won me at the "she's a leather glove".

I'm guessing this is not what you are looking for, but... I only use Google Play because it's free and does what I want a streaming service to do: have music I own on a cloud for me to stream anytime.
They have a library of music you can subscribe to, but no way do I pay for that. It's a good option for people with a collection. I own a lot of CDs and this way I can play them on any device. Well, their compressed digital versions at least.

My first 2018 album:

Skyclad - No Deposit, No Return
SpoilerI remember my grandmother sat with her radio,
Tea cup and walking stick set by her side.
As her old fingers reached out to turn up the volume,
I learnt what it meant to be bursting with pride.She told me some tales of wars great and last,
Black and white film stars sha'd liked in the past.
Taught me a few songs she'd learnt as a child,
Stunned by her wisdom I listened and smiled.She said to me "Lad, if you'll be a musican,
Go out and be one - but one with conviction.
If there's just one lesson the young ought to learn,
It's pay no deposit and get no return."
Get no return.
Pay no deposit and get no return.On time faded photographs I've seen an airman,
Stood next to the wings of a flying machine
And given the choice well I think I would rather
Have done what I've done than have seen what he's seen.I think that the Old Man feels really quite proud,
When he sits at the wheel and turns it up loud,
But imagined his son a lawyer or broker,
Not sat on a bus full of drinkers and tokers.He said to me "Son you can do as you please,
But always stand stright - never crawl on your knees.
If there's just one lesson the young ought to learn,
It's pay no deposit and get no return."If there's just one lesson the young ought to learn,
It's pay no deposit and get no return.
Get no return.
Pay no deposit and get no return.I've such a short time to tell you so much,
Words come second best to a kiss or a touch.
Far thicker than water this blood we all share,
So please don't think that for you I don't care.Fate may have driven us all separate ways,
But can't sever ancestry - splice D. N. A.
If life seems a road that's uneven and long,
To know where you're going just look Who you came from.Many have said I take after my mother,
For her '67 was not a good year.
Though often I make her annoyed like no other,
Through thick and through thin she has always been near.Sometimes in the cold now I catch myself smiling,
'Bout some stupid joke or a christmas tree shining.
I stood there so small 'neath that glittering tower,
It's memory a beacon in my darkest hour.She said to me "Martin, whatever you'll be,
There's no such thing as a meal that's for free.
If there's just one lesson the young ought to learn,
It's pay no deposit and get no return."If there's just one lesson the young ought to learn,
It's pay no deposit and get no return.
Get no return.
Pay no deposit and get no return.-

I caught Slayer live twice. Late 90's/early 00's. The first one was maybe a 4,000 person venue (ice hall), and it was cool though I didn't know their material that well.
The second time was in a festival and I was already a semi-big fan (seems like I never took the final step into total fandom). That was the God Hates Us All tour. I got the whole experience, moshpit and tour t-shirt and all.
I always liked a couple other thrash bands a little better (eg. Testament, Annihilator), but I do own 4 of their CD's and still think of them fondly. I think they've contributed a lot, and eventhough "farewell tour" means nothing nowadays, I think that means I won't be having much to do with them anymore, as I haven't bought a CD of theirs in ages anyway. I guess they keep recording, maybe.

I'm going through a Metal Church phase. Today in the player: the Human Factor.
-
Oh it's awful. And glorious.
What are they doing with their hands?

We all know you'd just use your phone to post on EWB.
There might also be rare Pokemons on that island, who knows...

After 16 years on the island you fondly remember that one day when you still had enough battery to use it. And maybe wish you had picked a volleyball instead.

Varies, but mostly full albums, with good headphones. Focusing on the music. Reading the lyrics, browsing the booklet. Preferably with a tumbler of scotch or similar. Especially if it's a new album I've never heard before.
-
My wife thinks everything I like sounds the same.
She was wondering why do I keep buying the same album over and over again.

alright, there's 15.
Where?
Oh, on page 1. I see.
-
Helloween - Time of the Oath
Helloween - The Dark Ride
Iced Earth - Horror Show
Slayer - God Hates Us All
Testament - band logo tour shirt
Iron Maiden - A Real Dead One
Iron Maiden - The Trooper long sleeve
Turisas - band logo tour shirt
Queensryche - band logo tour shirt
Judas Priest - British Steel
Dio - Holy Diver long sleeve
Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper
I think that's all. I never like ordered anything, so it's essentially all bought from concerts. Haven't bought any shirts in like 15 years though.

This guy has quite a range.

Well, I'll finish my list now.
10. Jag Panzer - The Deviant Chord
11. L.A. Guns - The Missing Peace
12. Sorcerer - The Crowning of the Fire King
13. Overkill - The Grinding Wheel
14. Cellador - Off the Grid
15. Sanctuary - Inception
16. Lich King - Omniclasm
17. Brother Firetribe - Sunbound
18. Lonewolf - Raised on Metal...and ran a little long. Kind of tough because I don't love any of these that much, but also can't really exclude any for being worse. But I guess the cut off ends up being Sanctuary and Lich King misses the bubble.

Only 9 albums have multiple votes, and only one of those has more than two. At the moment it's a completely moot point since there aren't enough votes for it to make any significant difference.
Well, maybe those nine should be the top 9?
Anyway, it's your thread, so do as you wish. Just thought it'd be a better representative of users here to make multiple mentions mean more than internal ranking by each user.
I'll do the last six votes another day. The hockey WJC just started.

And there are just as many films as there are albums, I don't see what difference it makes.
Besides with the lack of voting it won't make a difference since it's literally just the bands getting multiple votes that are getting anywhere near the top.
Nah. Now there's going to be a bunch of albums with 15pts near the top.
-
I'll do top ten now and hopefully finish the list soon. Under the title there's a link to a music video from each album. I wanted to put them under spoilers, but this board just hates me so whatever.
