I can't compile a list as long as yours, Tom, as I prefer to physically purchase albums and didn't even buy 10 new albums. For what it's worth: This list is based on personal enjoyment, as I don't consider myself qualified to judge them by the musical ability and songwriting on display (hey, I'm a drummer ) 1. Dig Lazarus Dig - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds 2. Tinnitus Sanctus - Edguy 3. The Scarecrow - Avantasia 4. Parasite of Society - Headhunter 5. Master of Illusion - Power Quest 6. Death Magnetic - Metallica 7. Blooddrunk - Children of Bodom 8. Die Apokalyptischen Reiter - Licht 9. Prevail - Kataklysm __________________ Top Login or register to post comments Sun, 04/01/2009 - 20:15 #2 Steve Offline Joined: 23/09/2005 Too many to list, but my faves from 2008 have to be Serenity's Fallen Sanctuary and Iced Earth's Crucible of Man __________________ RockSoc Head-Power Metaller 2008 Top Login or register to post comments Mon, 05/01/2009 - 01:59 #3 darkish_angel87 Online Joined: 17/10/2005 grandparrot wrote: I can't compile a list as long as yours, Tom, as I prefer to physically purchase albums So do I; there's only about 4 or 5 there that I didn't buy. __________________ "This racist lady won't let us play catch!"

Flogging Molly - Float 2. Less Than Jake - GNV FLA Not quite as interesting, and a little different to the lists above __________________ Leeds Rock Society's 'Most Overseas Member' 2005-06 Leeds Rock Society General Committee 2006-07 Leeds Rock Society Grand Mistress Of The Ball 2007 Leeds Rock Society Little London Bravery Award 2006-07 Top Login or register to post comments Mon, 05/01/2009 - 18:32 #5 daryl_hobson Offline Joined: 29/11/2007 Gojira-the way of all flesh 'nuff said Top Login or register to post comments Mon, 05/01/2009 - 21:25 #6 Twistedgenius Offline Joined: 27/09/2006 I only bought two new albums out this year, so: 1.

Death Magnetic - Metallica Rather distressing, but personally, I think it's been a pretty poor year for rock....my albums of the year have all be non-rock this year. Well... not 'RAAAAAAAAAAWK!' but some rock and a lot of non-rock. I'm getting old. __________________ "A Knife and Fork in a World of Soup" Top Login or register to post comments Login or register to post comments
