Alright, as we near the end of this first Y2K decade, it's time to take a look back at all the best Albums that have been released in the last 40+ years.

I'll start off this extensive research with 2000, up until 2009. I'll then go back to 1980, all the way up to 1999, to then wrap things up with the 70s and before.

I'll be choosing my Top 25 Albums for each year; an ordered Top 10, and ~15 others worth mentioning. I'm also considering the live albums and EPs (~5), but they have their own section since songs on these have usually been released on official releases. The final result will be a Top 1000 for Official Albums, and Top ~250 for Live/EP albums.

These are general rankings of how I see them today, and based on my Last.FM songs playcounts (2005-now) put through the formula:

Total Sum of each Album's Song's (running time X playcount)
DIVIDED BY
Album's Total Running Time

Thanks to MediaMonkey and its amazing scripting abilities, that formula gives an Album's REAL playcount, taking into consideration every song's lenght & playcount in relation to the overall album's lenght and # of songs on it.
You'll see the result (# of times I've really listened to an album since 2005) besides each, along with my 10* Rating. (x/x)
Besides each Year, you get the Total of all Albums' Playcounts and the average of all Albums' Ratings. (x / %)

Note that I haven't necessarily discovered and enjoyed all these albums on their released years, some I discovered years later. So these are also based on how important (to me) some of these albums were at the time.

(**) are the complete albums I was into at that time;
(*) are albums that contained only a few song(s) I was into or listened to at that time;
and those without (*) are albums I discovered years later.

I always look through YouTube and find stuff I like about Twilight or New Moon. Here are some faves! Including my own, of course. ;)

Mine is composed to the song Kingdom of Welcome Addiction by IAMX which, imho, is perfect for Twilight. It just sounds vampish, I reckon!



I like this one from RaggDollish -


This one from phoebalicious1 is good, particularly because it's her own song and pretty good too!


I also like this one from darksoulvamp, the music is what sold it for me. It's Love Song Requiem by Trading Yesterday


I think most people have already seen tiffanyd666's famous fan-made trailer!

She's got lots of other cool ones as well.

In somewhat correct order

Prozzak in Grande Prairie when I was but a child :3

Megadeth with Exodus in Edmonton
My first real heavy concert, a good memory

Stratovarius with Into Eternity and a local band I don't recall the name in Calgary. really into power metal at the time haha, that music is so bad but so endearing

Nickelback with Theory Of A Dead Man in Grande Prairie. Nickelback sucks, but every time they went to gp they got shoes thrown at them.

Opeth with DevilDriver & Dark Tranquillity in Edmonton
Opeth was amazing, devil driver was really energetic and fun. This show began my love affair with Dark Tranquillity and gothenburg in general.

Slayer with Lamb of God, Children of Bodom, Mastodon and some metalcore band in Edmonton
Children of Bodom was disappointing (this was when they started to suck) and Lamb of God was okay. Mastodon was fucking awesome. Slayer is slayer, what else can I say?

The Tragically Hip with The Sadies in Grande Prairie
The hip are so good live damn. The Sadies were fun.


Three Days Grace with Theory Of A Dead Man and Mobile in Grande Prairie
lol


Heaven & Hell with Megadeth and not Down in Edmonton
DIO. Megadeth had bad sound idkw. Down bailed.

Collective Soul with a bunch of other pop rock bands in Grande Prairie.
at least i think it was them. One of those late 90's collage rock bands anyway. it killed a afternoon.

Black Label Society with strong arm down in Edmonton
not my thing, my buddy was a huge zack wylde fan. SAD sucked. BLS was alright when wylde wasn't soloing for ten minutes. first concert I sneaked into

Dimmu Borgir with Unearth, DevilDriver, and Kataklysm in Edmonton
Kataklysm was and always will be great, support canadian metal. devildriver was the same as before, unearth fucked sucked SO HARD and Dimmu Borgir was good.

Calculating Collapse + more local bands in Grande Prairie a whole bunch of times. The best local band, the drummer is a old friend of mine. They're going places.

Gojira with Car Bomb in Calgary
The Chariot was supposed to play but got lost or something. Car Bomb played a longer set and It kicked ass. I've never heard of them till then and they blew me away. Gojira was fantastic and is def. in my top 5 bands live.

Venues close to my heart
Better then Fred's - Grande Prairie. The best local place for bands in gp
Red's - Edmonton. No longer exists (kind of. changed its name) the place where I saw my first real concert. The usual stop for metal bands in Edmonton.

Here is what I have. I will update as necessary....
